Cronenworth is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Cronenworth will be one of two lefty-hitting regulars who will hit the bench for the series finale, as Trent Grisham is also sitting with southpaw Patrick Corbin taking the hill for Washington. Brandon Drury will fill in at second base for Cronenworth, who went 1-for-3 with a walk and his second stolen base of the season in Saturday's 2-1 win.

Voit (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Voit will be on the bench for a third consecutive game while he contends with back spasms. Joey Meneses will pick up a start at first base in Voit's stead.

Cron is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

The Rockies haven't revealed that Cron is dealing with an injury, but he'll find himself out of the lineup for a second straight game in any case. Rookie Elehuris Montero will pick up the start at first base in place of the 32-year-old Cron, who could see his opportunities tail off a bit down the stretch while the 53-69 Rockies are in evaluation mode.

Wade is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rockies, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wade will sit with lefty Kyle Freeland on the mound for Colorado. The Giants will play Thairo Estrada, Austin Slater and Mike Yastrzemski in the outfield.

Hall is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mets.

Hall has been out of the lineup for three consecutive games, as Kyle Schwarber has occupied the designated-hitter role since his return to the lineup. As long as that continues, Hall will have a difficult time finding regular at-bats due to his defensive limitations and Rhys Hoskins being locked in at first base.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday in a 2-1 victory versus the Nationals.

Bell has struggled mightily since joining the Padres in a trade with the Nationals on Aug. 2, batting .131 over 61 at-bats. He showed signs of life against his ex-club Saturday, accounting for the Padres' first run of the contest with a 415-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. Amidst his struggles, Bell has been both striking out and walking at acceptable rates, so there's reason to believe he'll bust out of the slump soon.

Solano went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Pirates.

Solano tallied an RBI single off lefty reliever Eric Stout in the ninth to increase Cincinnati's lead to six. The second baseman has been red hot with the bat recently with a .405 average in 37 at-bats during his last 10 games. In addition, the 34-year-old has enjoyed hitting at home this season with a .354 average and .913 OPS in 82 at-bats compared to a .279 average and .710 OPS in 68 at-bats on the road.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-6 with a three-run home run and an additional run and RBI in a 16-7 win against the Diamondbacks.

Goldschmidt singled home a run in the third inning while adding a single and a three-run homer in the ninth to cap an eight-run inning. The 34-year-old has compiled a solid five-game hitting streak, during which he's batted 12-for-20 with three doubles and three homers to boost his average from .328 to a league-leading .341 in addition to posting league-best marks in on-base percentage (.422) and OPS (1.062).

Voit was scratched from Saturday's lineup as he continues to deal with back spasms, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

After being scratched from Friday's contest due to back tightness, Voit once again will sit out Saturday with continued back issues. Joey Meneses will move to first base, while Lane Thomas will take over in right field.

Solano was reinstated from the restricted list Saturday.

Solano went from the paternity list to the restricted list this week, but evidently he's cleared all protocols and is ready to return to action. While he's not a part of the long-term plans in Cincinnati, Solano is slashing .310/.374/.434 in limited action this year and figures to play regularly between third base and DH the rest of the way.
