Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2, extra-inning loss against Washington.

The Atlanta slugger took an 0-2 fastball from Josiah Gray the opposite way to left field for his 30th home run of the season and tie the game at 1-1. Olson's bat has come back to life the last couple of days after he received a breather Sept. 24 in response to a .111/.210/.167 slash line in his first 81 September plate appearances. Since the breather, he is 5-for-14 with three extra-base hits.

Flores is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Flores is hitless in his past four games and will take a seat Wednesday with righty Jose Urena pitching for Colorado. Evan Longoria will bat cleanup as the designated hitter.

Wade is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade has a .504 OPS in his past 16 contests and will sit Wednesday for the second straight game. J.D. Davis will start at first base and bat second Wednesday versus Colorado.

Bell is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Bell is hitless over his past 14 at-bats and will head to the bench Wednesday for the third time in San Diego's last five games. Brandon Drury will serve as the designated hitter while Wil Myers starts at first base.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to Atlanta.

Even though the Nationals ended up squandering an early 2-0 lead, Voit at least ended a prolonged slump at the plate in emphatic fashion. Over his prior seven contests, Voit went just 2-for-29 with a whopping 16 strikeouts. Voit has produced an underwhelming .243/.316/.405 slash line since joining the Nationals at the trade deadline, but he'll still be locked into a full-time role over the final week of the season. He's serving as Washington's designated hitter and cleanup batter Wednesday.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

He got the Mets on the board by taking Pablo Lopez deep in the fourth inning, but the Mets were already in a 4-0 hole at that point. Alonso has homered in three straight games and five of the last seven, driving in an incredible 16 runs during that power surge. In addition to now holding the franchise's single-season record for RBI at 131, the 27-year-old has recorded his second career campaign with at least 40 home runs.

Solano (eye) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Pirates.

Solano has not played since Sept. 23 due to an eye infection. Kyle Farmer is starting at designated hitter while Jose Barrero enters the lineup at shortstop.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.

Goldschmidt drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the first frame before ripping an RBI single off Trevor Gott in the top of the fifth and stealing second base. He later added a double in the seventh inning, his 41st two-bagger of the year. Goldschmidt came into Tuesday's contest in a 4-for-27 cold spell over his previous seven games, but he still owns a .318 average with 35 homers, 114 RBI, 103 runs and seven stolen bases over 146 games in 2022.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.

Tellez took Miles Mikolas deep for a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth frame, scoring the first run for the Brewers. The homer was his 34th of the year and second in three games. The first baseman has struggled to produce a consistent batting average, but he has compiled six home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 14 games.

Cooper was diagnosed with a fractured left pinky finger after he exited Tuesday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper went 1-for-2 before he was hit by a pitch on the left hand during the fifth inning, and he was promptly replaced by a pinch runner. The injury should bring an end to the 31-year-old's 2022 campaign with just over a week left in the regular season. He played in 119 games and posted a .261/.337/.415 slash line with nine home runs, 33 doubles, 50 RBI and 37 runs.
