Freeman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Giants.

Freeman has produced two multi-hit efforts in five games in September, though he's gone hitless in the other three. The homer ended his 19-game power drought -- he managed five doubles among 25 hits in that span. Despite the slight downturn in power, Freeman is still slashing a sturdy .324/.395/.510 with 17 homers, 84 RBI, 98 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 134 contests this season.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Monday against the Brewers.

Cron took Taylor Rogers yard in the eighth inning to tally his second homer in as many days. He has now gone deep 26 times for the season, including on three occasions in his last 13 starts. For the season, Cron has maintained a .346 wOBA and 109 wRC+ across 546 plate appearances.

Wade is not in Monday's lineup against the Dodgers, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

He is sitting with southpaw Andrew Heaney on the hill for the opposition. The Dodgers are also starting lefties Tuesday (Tyler Anderson) and Wednesday (Clayton Kershaw), so Wade may not get many at-bats in this series. David Villar is starting at first base and hitting eighth.

Hiura is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Hiura had started each of the past six games at either first base or designated hitter, going 6-for-24 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI. With an .819 OPS on the campaign, Hiura has played his way into more opportunities, though he's still likely behind Rowdy Tellez and Andrew McCutchen in the pecking order for work at first base and DH, respectively.

Toglia went 3-for-7 with two doubles, a walk, an RBI and a run scored across both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Toglia started both games of the doubleheader, though all of his production came in the opening contest. He continues to get regular run in right field and has taken advantage by collecting six hits across his first 21 at-bats in the majors. It remains to be seen how the club will allocate playing time when Yonathan Daza (shoulder) can return, but Toglia figures to remain in team's plans moving forward.

Cron went 1-for-7 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored across both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Cron delivered his 25th home run of the season, taking Art Warren yard in the ninth inning during the first game of Colorado's doubleheader. It marked only his fourth home run since the All-Star break, and he's hit only .205 with 19 RBI and 14 runs scored across 37 games in that span. Despite the slow stretch, Cron has still maintained a .345 wOBA and 108 wRC+ across 540 plate appearances for the season.

Bohm went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Giants.

Bohm knocked three singles for his fourth multi-hit effort in his last six games. He's gone 10-for-28 (.357) with just two RBI and six runs scored in that span, but only one of those hits, a double, has gone for extra bases. The third baseman has surged to a .295/.328/.407 slash line with 10 home runs, 61 RBI, 70 runs scored and a stolen base through 125 contests this year, which makes his lackluster 2021 look like a simple sophomore slump.

Flores went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Phillies.

Flores saved the best for last, taking Phillies reliever David Robertson deep for a walkoff homer in the ninth inning. The long ball was Flores' first since Aug. 1, and he slashed a paltry .217/.336/.293 in the 27 games between homers. The infielder has often been one of the steadiest presences in the Giants' lineup this year, posting a .246/.332/.429 slash line with 17 homers, 63 RBI, 65 runs scored and 26 doubles through 125 contests.

Solano is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Rockies, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Solano will get a breather for the second game of the twin bill after he went 0-for-4 in the Reds' 8-4 loss in Game 1, dropping his season average to .309. Jonathan India, who played second base in Game 1, will replace Solano at DH in Game 2.

Cooper (personal) will start at first base and bat third in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper wasn't available for Saturday's 2-1 loss after he was scratched from the lineup ahead of the contest due to a personal matter, but he'll be back in action for the Marlins for the series finale. Since making his first All-Star Game appearance in July, Cooper has noticed a sharp downturn in productivity while also spending time on the injured list due to a bruised wrist and a concussion. Over his 21 games in the second half, Cooper is slashing just .103/.246/.190.
