Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

Goldschmidt carried St. Louis' struggling offense Wednesday, producing half of the team's hits and plating two of its three runs on a pair of solo homers. It was the first four-hit game and first multi-homer effort of the season for the star first baseman, who is slashing .315/.417/.533 through 108 plate appearances. Goldschmidt has added four homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs, two steals and a 15:17 BB:K.

Wade went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a walk and two total RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 victory versus St. Louis.

Wade was originally out of the lineup Wednesday, but he was added as the Giants' starting right fielder when Mike Yastrzemski was scratched due to a left side injury. Wade took advantage of the opportunity, hitting a solo homer to center in the fourth inning and producing a run-scoring triple in the eighth. He's hitting just .237 this season, but six of his 14 hits have gone for extra bases.

Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win against the Cardinals.

Flores went deep in the seventh inning, swatting a two-run shot to give the Giants a 6-2 lead. The veteran infielder is up to four homers on the season, putting him on pace to reach 20 homers in a campaign for the first time in his career. Flores has complemented the moderate power with a .278/.316/.486 slash line and nine RBI across 76 plate appearances.

Olson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

Olson had a rollercoaster evening Wednesday, striking out three times in the win but hitting a solo homer to open the top of the eighth to bring Atlanta to within one. He sparked the offense, as the team rallied around his long ball to put up four total runs in the inning and claim the lead. Olson has hit seven home runs this season with 21 RBI and 19 runs scored over 25 games. Wednesday's homer was the slugger's first since April 18.

Wade will start in right field Wednesday against St. Louis and bat sixth, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

With Mike Yastrzemski scratched from the lineup due to a tight left side, Wade will face the left-handed Steven Matz on Wednesday. Wade holds just a .355 OPS against southpaws across 88 plate appearances since 2021.

Wade isn't starting against the Cardinals on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

As the Cardinals prepare to begin the game with southpaw Steven Matz on the mound, the left-handed Wade will retreat to the bench for Wednesday's contest. Wilmer Flores will take Wade's place at first base and bat seventh.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss against the Braves.

Gurriel swiped his first bag of the 2023 season Tuesday, taking second base after hitting a single in the second frame. The first baseman also came through in crunch time, clubbing a solo home run in the top of the ninth that brought the Marlins to within three, but they were unable to build momentum and mount a comeback. Though Gurriel is used primarily as a bench option for Miami, he's worth a look in daily formats when in the starting lineup against left-handed pitching, considering his minuscule 9.1 percent strikeout rate in that split.

Cron is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Cron appears to be getting a maintenance day after he started each of the Rockies' past five games and went 4-for-20 with a home run, a double, three runs and two RBI. Mike Moustakas will fill in for Cron at first base.

Walker (forearm) entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter and walked in Arizona's 5-4 win over the Royals. He remained in the game to play the final inning at first base.

Walker was held out of the starting lineup for a second straight game after getting hit by a pitch on the forearm Saturday. The usage suggests the injury was not considered serious and an opportunity to give him a mini-break while letting the lefty-hitting Pavin Smith play against a couple of right-handers.

Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Wade will get a night off against left-hander Jordan Montgomery and the Cardinals on Monday. Wilmer Flores will get the start at first base and hit sixth with Wade on the bench.
