Wade is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wade rejoined the lineup Monday after missing one game with a sore elbow, but he'll take a seat Tuesday with lefty Tyler Gilbert pitching for Arizona. Darin Ruf will start in left field, pushing Joc Pederson to right.

Smith is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

The lefty-hitting Smith will give way to the righty-hitting J.D. Davis at designated hitter with lefty Nick Lodolo on the hill for Cincinnati. Smith went 3-for-8 with a pair of doubles and two RBI while starting in both of the past two contests, when the Mets opposed right-handed starting pitchers on both occasions. The 27-year-old may be trending toward earning a strong-side platoon role over infielder Luis Guillorme, who brings defensive value but is in a 2-for-26 slump at the plate over his past eight games.

Votto is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Manager David Bell said it's a "recovery day" for the 38-year-old Votto, who has gone hitless in four consecutive games. Mike Moustakas fills in at first base while Donovan Solano gets the start at designated hitter.

Cronenworth went 1-for-2 with a base hit and a walk Monday in the Padres' 8-2 loss to the Mariners.

Cronenworth has most commonly hit out of the No. 2 spot in the order this season, but he's made six of his previous seven starts out of the three hole and looks to have settled into that position in the lineup for now. The 27-year-old has endured a bit of a rough patch over the past two weeks, having slashed .156/.269/.200 over his last 12 games. Cronenworth is still holding down a palatable .727 OPS for the season in spite of the slump and doesn't look to be in any danger of losing out on playing time.

Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in Monday's 7-4 win over the Reds.

Smith's two-bagger in the sixth inning helped break the game open, as the Mets were clinging to a one-run lead before he plated the two runs. Since his June 20 call-up from Triple-A Syracuse, Smith has started in five of the Mets' 12 games while going 7-for-21 (.333 average) with four doubles, two RBI and one run.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Cron waited until the ninth inning to extend his hitting streak to nine games, and he did so with his 20th homer of the year. During the streak, he's gone 12-for-36 (.333) with three long balls, 13 RBI, four runs scored and two doubles. The first baseman has now reached 20 homers in four straight non-shortened campaigns, and he's on track to shatter his career high of 30 from 2018. He's added a strong .297/.348/.556 slash line with 65 RBI, 49 runs scored, 17 doubles and two triples through 80 contests this year.

Wade (elbow) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Wade sat Sunday with a sore elbow, but that will be the extent of his absence. He will man right field and hit fifth against Diamondbacks southpaw Madison Bumgarner.

Tellez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Tellez went 0-for-9 over his last two games and the Brewers will be facing a southpaw Monday, so manager Craig Counsell decided to give Tellez a day off. Victor Caratini will man first base in Tellez's place.

Cooper isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Cooper snapped a five-game hitting streak Sunday when he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, and he'll get a breather a day later. Jacob Stallings is serving as the designated hitter while Nick Fortes takes over behind the plate.

Bell went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, two runs and a strikeout in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

The Nationals were unable to generate any runs over the first six innings of Sunday's matchup, but Bell hit a go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth inning. Although the team was unable to pick up the win, the 29-year-old now has 10 extra-base hits over the last nine games, and he's hit .531 with a homer, a triple, seven doubles, seven runs and three RBI during that time.
