Voit went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two runs and two RBI in a 19-5 win against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Voit walked in the first inning, doubled in the fifth and seventh and cracked a solo home run in the ninth off Chicago first baseman Frank Schwindel. The 31-year-old has been hot over his last four games, going 7-for-19 with three home runs and three doubles, though the walk was his first since June 1. Voit is now slashing .237/.318/.432 with eight home runs, 24 runs and 28 RBI.

Tellez isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Tellez will get a rare day off after he went 1-for-13 with an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts over the last four games. Keston Hiura is starting at first base and batting sixth.

Cooper isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper started in the last two games and went 2-for-9 with an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Jorge Soler serves as the designated hitter with Bryan De La Cruz starting in left field.

Voit went 2-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and five RBI in a 12-5 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

With his team down by five in the sixth, Voit hit a two-run shot to put his team on the board. He would also cash in the go ahead-run on a bases-clearing, three-RBI double his very next at-bat. Voit is now slashing .226/.306/.396 on the season. Despite carrying a 33.9 percent strikeout rate, Voit is a mainstay in the heart of the Padres lineup and should continue to see plenty of RBI opportunities from the cleanup spot.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and five RBI in a 9-1 win over the Pirates in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

After going yard in the matinee, Goldschmidt kept flexing his muscles in the nightcap, clubbing homers off Bryse Wilson in the first and second innings to help give the Cardinals an early 7-0 lead. The first baseman is up to 16 homers on the season -- including four in his last three games -- putting him two behind Pete Alonso for the NL lead, to go along with a stellar .349/.431/.642 slash line.

Hoskins went 4-for-5 with two homers, a double and six RBI on Tuesday in the Phillies' 11-9 loss to the Marlins.

Hoskins hit a three-run homer in the fourth, doubled in two in the fifth and added a tie-breaking solo shot in the eighth. It was his second multi-homer game in his last five contests. The first baseman has been on a tear the last eight games, going 15-for-34 with five homers and raising his season batting line to .249/.333/.476.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in a 3-1 win over the Pirates during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

He gave Matthew Liberatore and the Cardinals' bullpen all the support they would need with a two-run blast off JT Brubaker in the third inning. Goldschmidt has gone yard in back-to-back games against the Bucs, continuing a fantastic campaign that has seen him bat .338 with 14 homers and 51 RBI through 60 games.

Tellez will start at first base and bat third in Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Tellez appears to have found a new home in the three hole, with five of his last six starts having come out of that position in the batting order. The change hasn't done much to spark Tellez's power production; he's gone 14 straight games without a home run and has supplied only three extra-base hits (all doubles) during that stretch.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Monday's win over the Cubs.

Cronenworth knocked in the Padres' first run with a single in the third inning, and he helped San Diego pull ahead in the eighth by scoring a run following a single. He finished with three hits for the second time in his past six games. Cronenworth is slashing .364/.440/.636 with a home run, three doubles, six runs and nine RBI over the six-game stretch.

Walker went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Monday's loss to the Reds.

Walker produced the game's first runs with a big 446-foot blast to left field in the third inning. The homer was his 16th of the campaign, tied for second in the National League. Walker is batting only .209 on the season, but the power has made him a viable fantasy option.
