Bohm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Dodgers.

The home run was the third of the season and first since April 28 for Bohm, who continues to deliver most of his fantasy value via his .289 batting average over 128 at-bats. Per Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Bohm will start at third base and bat second in Sunday's series finale.

Cron went 4-for-7 with a two-run home run, a walk and three runs scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Cron did the majority of his damage in the second game, as he delivered his 11th homer of the season in the first inning. He's in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak -- the entirety of which has been at Coors Field -- during which he's maintained a .455 batting average with a pair of long balls, eight RBI and 11 runs scored. For the season, Cron has an impressive .331/.378/.629 line across 164 plate appearances.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

He'll receive just his second day off of the season following a big Saturday in which he went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in the Cardinals' 5-4 win. Juan Yepez will fill in for Goldschmidt at first base.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win against Pittsburgh.

Goldschmidt's second-inning double plated a pair of runs, and he collected three additional base knocks throughout the contest. This was the veteran's first four-hit performance of the season and eighth multi-hit effort during his current 14-game hitting streak. During the red-hot stretch, he is batting .458 (27-for-59) with four homers, 12 doubles, 18 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base.

Smith is not starting Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Rockies.

Smith played first base in the Mets' Game 1 win, going 0-for-4 with a run scored. Pete Alonso will handle first while J.D. Davis enters the lineup at designated hitter, batting eighth.

Tellez isn't starting Saturday against the Nationals.

Tellez has been an everyday player for the Brewers recently, but he'll get his first day off since April 28 after he went 5-for-18 with two homers, a double, five RBI and three runs over the last five games. Keston Hiura will draw the start at first base and bat sixth.

Flores was added to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 30-year-old was scheduled to get a day off Saturday, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat second after Brandon Belt (knee) was scratched from the lineup. Flores has gone 4-for-13 with a double, three runs, two RBI, a walk and a strikeout over the last three games.

Flores will sit Saturday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Flores is having a typical season, hitting a solid-but-unspectacular .266/.331/.403 while appearing at multiple spots around the infield. He could see a few more off days going forward now that Evan Longoria (finger) is back from the injured list, though both Flores and Longoria will sit Saturday while Tommy La Stella handles the hot corner.

Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two additional runs Friday in an 8-7 victory versus San Francisco.

Cronenworth hit out of the leadoff spot for the 12th straight game and scored three of the Padres' eight runs. In the third inning, he knocked a two-run homer to right field that was his first long ball since late April. Cronenworth has yet to get going offensively this season, slashing .207/.304/.338 with three homers, 17 RBI and no stolen bases across 168 plate appearances.

Rivas isn't starting Saturday against Arizona.

Rivas has gone 0-for-11 with a run, two walks and six strikeouts over the last four games, and he'll get a breather with left-hander Madison Bumgarner starting for the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Frank Schwindel will start at first base while Willson Contreras serves as the designated hitter.
