Wade (undisclosed) is starting Saturday against the Twins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade was scratched from Friday's lineup for an unspecified reason, but the Giants didn't give any indication that the move was made due to an injury. The 28-year-old will start at first base and bat second Saturday.

Cronenworth isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Royals.

Cronenworth started the last three games and went 4-for-14 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs and six strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Brandon Drury mans second base and bats cleanup.

Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Rivas spent two weeks in the minors but will rejoin the Cubs after Patrick Wisdom (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Rivas hit .232 with three home runs, 24 RBI, 19 runs and three steals over 71 big-league games earlier this year and will compete with P.J. Higgins for playing time at first base in Wisdom's absence.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Reds.

He took Mike Minor deep in the sixth inning, but the Nationals were already in a 7-1 hole at that point. Voit has been basically the same hitter in Washington he was in San Diego, and through 17 games with his new club he's slashing .226/.314/.419 with four of his 17 homers on the year -- giving him an identical .733 OPS with both teams.

Cronenworth went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Friday's win over Kansas City.

Cronenworth's solo shot came in the third inning as he went back-to-back with Wil Myers. He also knocked in Josh Bell on a single in the seventh. The home run gives the second baseman 13 on the year and four this month. Cronenworth extended his hit streak to three games after Friday's two-hit outing. He has gone 11-for-his-last-37, raising his batting average from .237 to .241 in the process.

Tellez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in a 4-3 loss to the Cubs on Friday.

Tellez is having the best season of his career and now has 27 home runs and 75 RBI on the season. The 27-year-old first-baseman appears to be on the brink of his first 30-home run season. Tellez has settled into an everyday role for the Brewers since being traded from the Blue Jays last season and already has a career-high 407 at-bats in 2022. There are huge holes in his swing, and Tellez is batting only .231, but his .320 OBP suggests that he has walked just enough this season to keep his power bat in the lineup.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Cardinals.

Olson's collected six hits, including a home run and three doubles, in his last two games. For the season, he's up to 40 two-baggers, trailing only the Dodgers' Freddie Freeman (42). Olson continues to flex strong power, with Friday's effort getting his slugging percentage back up to .500 for the first time since July 31. The first baseman is batting .254 with 27 home runs, 87 RBI and 67 runs scored through 127 contests overall.

Wade was scratched from Friday's lineup against Minnesota for an undisclosed reason.

It's not yet clear whether Wade's scratch was due to an injury, but he was removed from the lineup with under an hour remaining until the start of the game. Mike Yastrzemski is shifting to right field while Austin Slater starts in center.

Batten was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Batten joined the Padres at the end of July but saw minimal playing time during his stint with the big-league club. He'll head back to the minors after Eguy Rosario was called up Friday.

Cooper (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Cooper played in two rehab games with Single-A Jupiter this week and is now back with the Marlins after briefly being sidelined by a concussion. The 31-year-old should see regular playing time down the stretch for Miami, especially after Jesus Aguilar was designated for assignment Friday to make room for him on the active roster.
