Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

After homering Saturday, Cronenworth knocked in two runs right away on a double in the first inning. In addition, he added another double and a single in the game. The 27-year-old is batting .258 over the month of July with three homers, 14 RBI and 18 runs. On the season, he is slashing .279/.351/.477, trailing only Fernando Tatis (79) on the team with 73 runs scored.

Wade was removed from Sunday's win over the Astros due to lower back tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Wade returned to the lineup Saturday after he missed three games due to a bruised right lower leg, but he's now dealing with another injury that forced him out of Sunday's contest in the top of the ninth inning. It's not yet clear whether the issue will force him to miss additional time. Prior to his departure, the 27-year-old went 0-for-3 with a walk.

Cabrera is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Cabrera is 5-for-20 with three doubles, four walks, four RBI and two runs in six games since returning from the injured list, and he'll receive the day off Sunday. Drew Ellis will cover the hot corner for Arizona in the series finale.

Calhoun is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Calhoun started the last eight games and will head to the bench Sunday with left-hander Julio Urias starting for Los Angeles. Josh Reddick will take over in right field for the Diamondbacks.

Solano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over Houston.

The infielder hit his first homer since June 26. Solano is rarely a threat as a power hitter, as his long ball Saturday allowed him to match his career high of four in a season. He's added 23 RBI, 27 runs scored, a pair of stolen bases and a .271/.327/.371 slash line through 278 plate appearances.

Wade (lower leg) went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over Houston.

Wade was held out of the lineup for three days after suffering a bruised right leg Tuesday. He made a fairly emphatic return to the starting nine with his fifth homer in his last 35 at-bats. The 27-year-old is up to 13 long balls, 30 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases through 183 plate appearances. It's unclear how the Giants' acquisition of the versatile Kris Bryant might affect Wade's playing time over the last two months of the season.

Hoskins (groin) is out of the lineup Sunday against the PIrates.

Hoskins will be sidelined for the third straight contest as he continues to manage a left groin injury. Brad Miller will receive another start at first base in his place.

Votto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Votto will receive a much-deserved breather after he saw a seven-game home-run streak come to an end in Saturday's 5-4 loss, when he finished 1-for-5 with a base hit. During the aforementioned seven-game power surge, Votto slugged nine home runs, nearly matching his total for the season (12) over 68 games prior to that. Max Schrock will cover first base in Sunday's series finale.

Ellis started at third base and went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Dodgers.

This was Ellis' first start in the majors and second appearance after his contract was selected by Arizona on Friday. The Diamondbacks may trot out a variety of names -- some familiar, some less so -- at multiple positions over the final months of the season. After Eduardo Escobar was traded to Milwaukee, opportunities at third base are available. Since the trade, Asdrubal Cabrera and now Ellis have manned the hot corner.

Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, walk and strikeout in a 5-3 loss to the Rockies on Saturday.

Starting at shortstop for the injured Fernando Tatis, Cronenworth homered in the third to even the score at 2-2 and later walked in the sixth to reach base twice on the game. The infielder has put his power on display this season with 15 long balls in 104 games after just four in 54 contests in 2020. With Tatis out, Cronenworth is likely to gain shortstop eligibility as his appearance Saturday was his seventh this season.
