Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Alonso took Garrett Richards yard in the eighth inning record his 34th homer of the season. It was Alonso's fifth home run across 19 games in September, and he's also chipped in six doubles and two triples. Though his power totals won't reach the heights of the 2019 season, Alonso has maintained a .253 ISO while striking out at just a 20.3 percent clip across 591 plate appearances.

Rivas (finger) will miss the rest of the season after being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Rivas is eligible to return for the final few games of the season, but the tendon injury in his right middle finger will instead end his campaign. The 25-year-old appeared in 18 games during his first taste of big-league action and hit .318/.388/.409 with one homer, three RBI and seven runs. Assuming he's healthy in time for spring training, Rivas should have a chance to earn a spot on Chicago's Opening Day roster in 2022.

Raley was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and is starting Tuesday's game against the Rockies in right field, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Cody Bellinger was initially slated to start the contest, but he'll instead move to the injured list with a left rib fracture. Raley will take his spot on the 28-man roster and is set to enter Tuesday's lineup in right field, pushing Mookie Betts to center field. Raley went 10-for-59 with a double, homer and two RBI during his previous stints in the majors this season.

Rivas was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with an injury to a tendon in his right middle finger, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Rivas was penciled in to start in the outfield Tuesday versus the Twins, but he'll instead move to the injured list. The 25-year-old will be eligible to return before the end of the season, but it would only be for the last few games of the campaign.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over Arizona.

The star first baseman has been mashing of late and extended his hitting streak to 10 games with another multi-hit performance -- his sixth during that stretch. Freeman is hitting .395 with a 1.073 OPS, two homers, seven RBI, three doubles, a triple and eight runs scored during his ongoing streak.

Calhoun did not play in Monday's 11-4 loss to Atlanta.

Calhoun was activated from the injured list last Friday and served as the designated hitter in all three games over the weekend in Houston, but he was held out of the starting lineup once Arizona was back in an National League city. Calhoun's usual position, right field, was occupied by Henry Ramos. The Diamondbacks are evaluating or giving opportunities to several players younger than Calhoun. It doesn't mean he won't play again this season, but the veteran may no longer be a regular presence on the diamond.

Votto went 3-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and two walks in Monday's win over the Pirates.

The first baseman launched a two-run blast off of Dillon Peters in the third inning before going deep again in his next at-bat in the fifth. The two long balls put his season total at 33 -- his highest total since 2017. He has now reached base in seven straight contests while batting .444 with three home runs and five RBI over that stretch.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Wade will take a seat for the first time since Sept. 12, ending a stretch of six consecutive starts in which he went 6-for-21 with three extra-base hits, five runs, four RBI and four walks. The righty-hitting Darin Ruf will join the lineup as a replacement for the lefty-hitting Wade, who sits with southpaw Max Fried on the bump.

Votto is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The veteran gets a day off after going 0-for-1 with a trio of walks Saturday and hitting .226 in his last 10 games. Tyler Stephenson is filling in at first base and batting cleanup Sunday.

Calhoun went 1-for-5 with a single, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning win over Houston.

Calhoun, who was activated from the injured list Friday, made a second consecutive start at designated hitter and delivered a run for the Diamondbacks. After homering in his return Friday, Calhoun singled home the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning then came around to score on Daulton Varsho's two-run, cushion-needing home run. With the Diamondbacks looking to give younger players opportunities, it's uncertain if Calhoun will be the primary right fielder, his usual spot, once Arizona resumes play against National League teams and will not have the benefit of the DH. Right field has been a pathway for playing time for Pavin Smith, Jake McCarthy and Varsho.
