Flores (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He's starting at first base and batting sixth versus the Cubs.

Flores missed only a minimal amount of time with a left hamstring strain. While he's starting Sunday, the infielder will likely be utilized in a bench role more often than not going forward, although he could see a short-side platoon role with Tommy La Stella at second base.

Tellez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right patella Sunday.

Tellez left Saturday's game in Cleveland with what was originally called right knee discomfort. As it turns out, the injury is serious enough to shut him down for at least 10 days, though whether or not he'll miss more time beyond that point is not yet clear. Luke Maile was called up to take his place on the roster.

Cron will sit Sunday against the Phillies.

Cron has hit an excellent .344/.416/.718 with 13 homers in 37 games since the start of August. He'll get a rest Sunday as Colton Welker takes over at first base.

Tellez will undergo an MRI on his right knee Sunday to determine the severity of his injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Tellez was removed from Saturday's game against Cleveland in the second inning and was initially diagnosed with right knee discomfort. However, the Brewers will likely have a better idea of the severity of the issue following Sunday's tests.

Tellez exited Saturday's game against Cleveland in the second inning due to right knee discomfort.

Tellez went 1-for-1 with a double and an RBI to begin Saturday's contest, but he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the second frame. It's not yet clear whether the injury will force him to miss additional time.

Raley went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four total RBI for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Previous reports erroneously stated that Raley was placed on the 60-day IL in early September. The outfielder appears to have instead been shifted to -- and since returned from -- the COVID-19-related injured list. Raley's pair of long balls Friday pushed his season total in the minors to 15, which he has complemented with a .306/.408/.590 slash line and 58 RBI over 262 plate appearances. However, the outfielder was less successful in a 30-game stint with the Dodgers earlier in the campaign, batting just .169 with one homer across 59 at-bats.

Walker is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

He is hitting .125 in 16 at-bats this month and it seems he has fallen into the short side of a platoon. Pavin Smith will start at first base while Seth Beer starts at designated hitter.

Calhoun (hamstring) was cleared to play in an intrasquad game Sept. 3, but the outfielder has yet to complete a running program, MLB.com reports.

Calhoun is taking live at-bats and participating in outfield drills, but until he's able to run the bases at 100 percent, the Diamondbacks likely won't identify a target date for his return from the 10-day injured list. The 33-year-old has been sidelined since Aug. 11 with the strained left hamstring.

Flores (hamstring) is expected to be in Sunday's lineup against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

He has been out since Sept. 1 with a strained left hamstring. Brandon Belt, Evan Longoria and Tommy La Stella are all healthy, so there probably won't be everyday at-bats available for Flores down the stretch.

Cronenworth has a small fracture on his left ring finger, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

He left Friday's game against the Dodgers after getting hit on the hand by a changeup from Julio Urias in the top of the third inning. Manager Jayce Tingler was unsure how long Cronenworth would be sidelined. "It's just tough to say right now until you get the inflammation out," Tingler said. "A very small fracture there. But what we don't know is what it's going to be like swinging the bat and what that vibration feels like on the finger. It's just too early to say right now." The Padres may move Fernando Tatis back to shortstop while Cronenworth is out.
