Bell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Phillies.

Bell prevented the Nationals from getting shut out with his fourth-inning homer. He snapped an 0-for-11 skid at the plate with his two-hit effort Thursday. The 29-year-old has maintained a steady .294/.370/.447 slash line with eight homers, 39 RBI, 33 runs scored and 10 doubles across 65 contests while routinely hitting in the middle of the order.

Cronenworth went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI in the Padres' 19-5 win over the Cubs on Wednesday.

Cronenworth has been a terror for the Cubs in the first three games of the series in Chicago, recording exactly three hits in each contest. He entered the series maintaining a .221 batting average for the season, but his 9-for-14 start to the week has lifted that mark to .245. Cronenworth will be in the lineup again for Thursday's series finale, batting second and manning the keystone, according to Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Wednesday against the Guardians.

Cron doubled in the third inning and came around to score to extend his hitting streak to seven games. He hasn't homered in that stretch but has maintained a .310 average with two RBI and four runs scored. Cron has gone yard 14 times to go along with 43 RBI and 36 runs scored while hitting .289 across 268 plate appearances on the season.

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.
