Walker went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a run and four RBI in a 7-4 victory over Colorado on Sunday.

Walker opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning, connected on a 460-foot three run home run in the third, singled in the fifth and doubled again in the ninth for his first four-hit game of the season. The outburst comes on the heels of him reaching base four times Tuesday, and the 31-year-old is 10-for-21 with three walks across his last six games. The long ball was Walker's 27th and pulls him into a tie with Anthony Rizzo for eighth most in MLB.

Toglia was promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 10.

Toglia spent the entire season with Double-A Hartford, and he managed to maintain a .347 wOBA and 114 wRC+ across 420 plate appearances. He also struck out at a 30.2 percent clip, which will be something to monitor as he continues to progress through the upper levels of the minor leagues and into the majors. After playing exclusively at first base in 2021, Toglia has played a handful of games in right field -- a move that could accelerate his path to Colorado.

Olson went 3-for-9 with two home runs and four RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Olson homered in each game of the doubleheader, bringing his total on the season to 24. He's now gone yard in three consecutive games and has at least one hit in eight of his last nine contests. For the season, Olson now has a .250/.337/.493 line across 505 plate appearances.

Wade went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, a double and a walk in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Pirates.

Wade went yard off former Giant Tyler Beede in the third inning, which was the last run in this low-scoring contest. Through nine contests in August, Wade has gone 5-for-18 (.278), though all of those hits have gone for extra bases (three homers, two doubles). The 28-year-old's batting average reached .200 for the first time since July 7 with this multi-hit effort, and he's added a .759 OPS, six long balls, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 120 plate appearances this year.

Montero went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Montero has been in the lineup for 10 consecutive games at a combination of first and third base as well as at designated hitter. He's hit .368 in that span with a home run, six RBI and five runs scored. Though Montero may not have a consistent defensive position, the Rockies appear to be intent on giving him regular playing time down the stretch of the season.

Rivas was returned to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Rivas was called up as the 27th man for Thursday's Field of Dreams Game against the Reds, but he'll head back to the minors following the matchup. Over 16 games in Iowa this year, he's slashed .344/.394/.508 with a home run, 11 runs and eight RBI.

Cooper (calf) is starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper didn't start Friday's series opener against Atlanta, but he appeared off the bench and went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. He'll start at first base and bat third during Saturday's matinee.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.

Goldschmidt's first-inning blast was ultimately all the Cardinals needed for the win. For the month, the first baseman is cruising, going 12-for-34 (.353) with four homers, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and three doubles through 10 contests. He's quickly closing in on another 30-homer campaign -- Goldschmidt had 28 this year, putting him a realistic position to challenge his career high of 36. He's added a .331/.414/.619 slash line, 89 RBI, 78 runs scored, five stolen bases and 31 doubles through 106 games.

Cooper (calf) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper's removal from Thursday's contest due to calf tightness was labeled precautionary, but he'll still end up being held out of the lineup for at least one more game. Jesus Aguilar will serve as the designated hitter while Lewin Diaz starts at first base.

Tellez isn't starting Friday against the Cardinals.

Tellez will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game with southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the mound for the Cardinals. Keston Hiura is starting at first base and batting sixth.
