Wade picked up injuries to his knee and side during Wednesday's 1-0 win against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wade apparently suffered the injuries while making a sliding catch attempt in the outfield, though he initially remained in the contest. However, he felt limited enough in his final plate appearance to call his own sacrifice bunt -- which ended up leading to the game's lone run -- and he was pulled via a double switch to open the following frame. It's not believed to be a serious concern for the 27-year-old, but the Giants figure to remain cautious with only four more games before the start of the playoffs.

Votto isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Votto will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last four games after he went 3-for-8 with two homers and four RBI across his last two appearances. Max Schrock will shift to first base while Jose Barrero starts in center field.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to San Francisco.

Calhoun got the start in right field, just the third time over the last eight games the veteran was in the starting lineup. He's batting .308 (8-for-26) with two home runs and seven RBI in 10 games since being activated off the injured list. There's very little chance the Diamondbacks will bring Calhoun back in 2022.

Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a strikeout in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Cronenworth brought a dormant Padres offense to within one run with his ninth-inning home run off Blake Treinen but the blow proved to be too little too late. The infielder has been serviceable for much of September with a .259/.333/.466 line that's seen a recent boost with a combined 4-for-7 featuring two doubles, a triple, a home run and two walks over Cronenworth's last two games.

Tellez (kneecap) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Tellez has been on the injured list with a strained right patella since Sept. 12, but he'll return to game action with the minor-league club Wednesday. The 26-year-old is expected to appear in two games in Nashville, and he'll likely be ready to rejoin the major-league club for the series against the Dodgers that begins Friday.

Bell will sit Tuesday against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Bell hits the bench with lefty Kyle Freeland on the mound for Colorado. Ryan Zimmerman starts at first base.

Bohm was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Bohm had a strong rookie season but was demoted in late August after hitting a disappointing .245/.302/.342 with seven homers in 111 games. He's been fine but nothing special in 14 Triple-A games since then, hitting .268/.354/.411, but the Phillies evidently decided he's worthy of a roster spot over the final week of the season. He'll be on the bench Tuesday against Atlanta, with Freddy Galvis starting at third base, so Bohm may not have a significant role in the final six games of the year. Luke Williams was optioned to clear a roster spot.

Votto went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run homers in Monday's 13-1 win over the Pirates.

Votto knocked a two-run shot in the first inning and followed up with another two-run homer in the fourth. He entered Monday's game in a 1-for-10 skid but he's now hit five home runs in the last seven games and 35 on the year. Votto improved his OPS to .950 with 96 RBI.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a triple, two doubles, a walk, two RBI and a run Sunday in San Diego's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

The Padres' No. 2 and 3 hitters -- Cronenworth and Manny Machado -- combined to reach base eight times Sunday, but the other seven hitters in the lineup did little to move the needle for a San Diego squad that dropped to .500 with its eighth loss in nine games. Though he came through with an excellent day at the dish, Cronenworth had a hand in the team's recent struggles. In his nine games prior to Sunday, he went 4-for-28 while drawing only one walk.

Votto (knee) will start at first base and bat cleanup Monday against the Pirates.

Votto draws back into the starting nine after a sore left knee limited him to a bench role in the final two games of the Reds' weekend series with the Nationals. Though Cincinnati heads into the final week of the regular season with the faintest of playoff hopes, Votto isn't expected to be shut down, provided his knee doesn't act up again. The 38-year-old has turned in a huge second half for the Reds, batting .280 with 22 home runs, 52 RBI, 43 runs and 47 walks in 64 games.
