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.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Pirates.

Goldschmidt took Sunday off after going 0-for-9 over his previous three games and he immediately got his groove back Monday. He doubled and scored in the sixth inning and then drilled a go-ahead shot to begin the seventh. The slugging first baseman is now slashing .335/.419/.598 with 33 extra-base hits and 48 RBI this season. However, since losing his 25-game hitting streak on June 4, Goldschmidt is hitting just .250 with one RBI in nine appearances.

Wade (knee) could be sent out on a rehab assignment at the end of the week, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade was held back from beginning his rehab stint after experiencing tightness in his left hamstring over the weekend, but he's slowly making progress. The team should have a better idea on a return date once he embarks on a rehab assignment.

Cooper was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Monday and will bat second and play first base against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper hit the COVID-19 injured list Saturday after coming down with cramps the day prior, but he evidently didn't test positive for the virus. That's great news for the Marlins, as Cooper has gone on a .455/.507/.682 tear over his last 18 games.

Bohm is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm will sit for the first time since April 17 while Matt Vierling picks up a start at the hot corner. The 25-year-old's move to the bench comes after he went 1-for-16 with a walk and five strikeouts over the Phillies' last four games.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rockies.

Voit's sixth home run of the season put the Padres on the board after Rockies starter German Marquez blanked the Friars through the first four frames. Since returning from a stint on the 10-day injured list May 10 after dealing with a biceps injury, Voit has slashed .259/.311/.464 with six home runs, 16 RBI and 15 runs in 29 games.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

The first baseman gave Atlanta an insurance run in the eighth inning, taking Chase De Jong deep for his eighth homer of the year. Olson has begun to pick up the pace at the plate, slashing .276/.333/.534 over his last 14 games with six doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.

His solo shot in the ninth inning of Los Angeles closer Raisel Iglesias gave the Mets an insurance run in a 4-1 win. Alonso has hit safely in seven straight starts, and over his last 15 games he's slashing .314/.431/.765 with seven of his 18 homers on the year.
