Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.

All three of the first baseman's hits were singles, and he accounted for half of the hits St. Louis recorded in the game. Goldschmidt has gone a bit quiet in run production, as he's gone five straight games without an RBI. For the year, he's slashing a hearty .286/.355/.485 with 24 home runs, 82 RBI, 76 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 578 plate appearances.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.

His sixth-inning solo shot off Patrick Corbin gave the Mets a 3-2 lead, but unfortunately for his club, Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth. Alonso extended his hitting streak to six games with the performance, and over his last 24 contests he's batting .337 (32-for-95) with six of his 30 homers on the year as he tries to keep New York in the playoff picture.

Bohm (wrist) is slated to visit with a doctor to determine the extent of his injury, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Bohm hasn't appeared in any games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley since Aug. 29 due to a sore left wrist. Although he's been able to participate in on-field work during pregame drills, he hasn't made as much progress in his recovery as the team had hoped. A better idea of the 25-year-old's status will likely be revealed following his visit with a doctor.

Wade isn't starting Monday's game against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Cron isn't starting Monday's game against the Giants.

Cron will be out of the lineup for the first time since Aug. 5 after he hit .278 with four home runs, a double, seven RBI and three walks across the last 10 games. Joshua Fuentes will start at first base and bat seventh.

Smith was activated from the bereavement list but isn't starting Monday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Smith will be available off the bench in Monday's contest, but Jeff McNeil will shift to left field while Jonathan Villar starts at third base. Across his six appearances prior to his absence, the 26-year-old went 4-for-13 with a double, three RBI and a run.

Votto isn't starting Monday's game against the Cubs, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Votto will get a rare day off after he went 4-for-15 with two doubles, five runs, two RBI and four walks across the last five games. Asdrubal Cabrera will start at first base and bat fifth.

Cronenworth went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Astros.

Cronenworth reached base three times, but the most important hit was a ninth-inning homer off Ryne Stanek to win the game. Before Sunday, Cronenworth struggled at the plate, batting .100 over his last 10 games. The 27-year-old is slashing .267/.345/.466 with 20 long balls, 62 RBI, 88 runs, and four steals over 566 plate appearances.

Bell went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a pair of walks in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Mets.

The first baseman went yard in the first inning to pull Washington within a run. Bell is up to 24 homers, and he's gone yard seven times in 31 games since the start of August. He's slashing .254/.322/.478 with 76 RBI, 61 runs scored and 18 doubles through 454 plate appearances as a reliable slugger in the heart of the order.

Alonso went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over Washington.

The first baseman extended his modest hitting streak to five games, and he's notched four doubles and a triple while going 8-for-20 (.400) in that span. Alonso also came around to score twice Sunday, the first time he's scored multiple runs in a game since Aug. 13. He's slashing .266/.344/.507 with 29 home runs, 79 RBI, 68 runs scored and three stolen bases through 529 plate appearances.
