Padlo was traded from the Mariners to the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Padlo was designated for assignment by Seattle over the weekend, and San Francisco opted to acquire him via trade rather that risk a waiver claim. The 25-year-old has a .173/.317/.327 slash line through 15 games at Triple-A this season and will provide organizational infield depth for the Giants.

Bell (hamstring) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Bell was held out of Sunday's 12-3 loss to the Giants after tweaking his right hamstring in Saturday's game, but the day out of the lineup plus Monday's off day evidently provided enough time for him to heal up from the injury. The Nationals could look to use Bell as a designated hitter at some point the next few days to get him off his feet, but he otherwise looks like he'll be in store for a full slate of at-bats during the Nationals' six-game week.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

Goldschmidt had multiple hits in just one of his first 11 games, but he's pulled out of the slump by going 9-for-17 in his last four. The first baseman hasn't homered yet this season, but he's picked up four doubles in 15 games. He sports a .259/.348/.328 slash line with five RBI. eight runs scored and a pair of stolen bases.

Wade (knee) is expected to play five innings in a rehab game at Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Wade began his rehab assignment in Sacramento on Saturday and went 0-for-2 with a run and a walk. Although he isn't expected to play a full game Tuesday, he seems to be making good progress in his recovery and should be in the mix to rejoin the Giants sometime this week or during their weekend series against the Nationals.

Tellez is out of the lineup for the Monday's game against the Giants.

The lefty-hitting Tellez will take a seat Monday with southpaw Sam Long on the bump for San Francisco. Short-side platoon mate Keston Hiura will fill in at first base for Tellez, who went 0-for-10 with three strikeouts during the Brewers' three-game series in Philadelphia over the weekend.

Cron went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's win over Detroit.

Cron went hitless in the team's doubleheader Saturday, though he picked up his 17th RBI of the season on an infield single in the first inning one day later. He has hit nearly exclusively out of the cleanup role this season, and given his .283/.313/.667 line across 64 plate appearances this season there's no reason to expect that to change.

Cooper went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run, a walk and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-4 win over Atlanta.

Cooper has driven in four runs in his last two appearances after being held without an RBI in his previous six outings. Following his second multi-hit performance in 2022, the 31-year-old is hitting .273 with a home run, two doubles, six RBI and four runs.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-2 loss to the Mets on Sunday.

Walker took New York starter Tylor Megill 467-feet deep to left in the fourth inning to tie the game at 1-1 but wasn't able to produce in his other three at-bats. The 31-year-old now has exactly one hit in five consecutive contests, though the efforts haven't pushed Walker's average up much, as he's gone from .118 to .167.

Flores went 3-for-5 with three RBI, a run and a strikeout in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

Flores has reached base in each of his last seven appearances, and he put together back-to-back multi-hit games to close out the series against Washington. The 30-year-old has five extra-base hits in 14 appearances this year while hitting .283 with eight RBI and seven runs.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 10-2 win over San Diego.

Freeman tagged San Diego starter Sean Manaea for a 425-foot bomb to right in third inning but was quiet otherwise. The home run was Freeman's third of the season -- all of which have come this week -- as he's gone 7-for-26 with three home runs during the six-game stretch.
