Solano is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Phillies, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Solano enters Friday on a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 7-for-21 with three doubles, four RBI and four runs scored. He'll get a breather to begin Friday's game but figures to be a top option for manager Gabe Kapler off the bench. Wilmer Flores will shift to second base as Jason Vosler mans the hot corner.

Bell is not in the lineup Friday against the Mets.

Bell has an .887 OPS through 13 games in June and will take a seat Friday with lefty Joey Lucchesi pitching for New York. Ryan Zimmerman will start at first base in his place.

Walker went 0-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's 10-3 loss to San Francisco.

Walker benefitted from hitting behind Eduardo Escobar, who had two extra-base hits and put men in scoring position for him. He was able get runners home with productive outs. Walker's driven in seven runs over the last nine games but a .571 OPS this season is a major disappointment.

Cron went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a double in Thursday's 7-3 win over Milwaukee.

The first baseman went deep off Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff in the first inning. Cron's beginning to rediscover his power stroke -- he's hit three homers in his last four games, all of which have been at hitter-friendly Coors Field. For the year, the 31-year-old has a .256/.360/.453 slash line with eight long balls, 25 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight doubles across 200 plate appearances.

Raley was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Raley spent just under a week with the big-league club and appeared in three games during that time. He went 1-for-6 with four strikeouts while serving in a depth role, and he'll now head back to the minors after left-hander Garrett Cleavinger (forearm) was reinstated from the injured list Thursday.

Flores hit a two-run home run in his only at-bat in Wednesday's 13-7 win over Arizona.

The infielder hit for pitcher Anthony DeSclafani in the fifth inning and took Arizona reliever Ryan Buchter deep to left field to extend San Francisco's lead to 10-2. For the year, Flores has a .236/.317/.365 slash line with four homers, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base across 167 plate appearances. He's seen a fairly even timeshare with Jason Vosler at third base since Evan Longoria (shoulder) went on the injured list.

Wade went 2-for-6 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-7 win over Arizona.

The outfielder has homered four times in the last 14 games, which accounts for all of his long balls this year. Wade is slashing .273/.360/.470 with seven RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases across 76 plate appearances. He's hit well enough to earn playing time in a crowded San Francisco outfield. Wade will likely draw starts against right-handers in one of the corner outfield positions, and he often hits leadoff when in the lineup.

Hoskins went 1-for-5 with a home run in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Hoskins made his presence felt in a low-scoring affair with his 13th long ball of the season, taking Clayton Kershaw deep in the top of the first inning. The slugging first baseman ended an 0-for-31 slump with this long ball. Perhaps it might have been what he needs to get his groove back at the plate.

Cabrera went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 13-7 loss to San Francisco.

The homer was Cabrera's fifth of the season and just his third hit in 24 at-bats since coming off the injured list June 4. The 35-year-old's playing time continues to be managed, as he has not started three consecutive days all season.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a home run, two walks, an additional run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's loss to Boston.

Freeman drove in a run with a third-inning infield single, and he put Atlanta ahead temporarily with a solo blast in the sixth frame. However, the reigning National League MVP struck out to end the game with the potential tying run on second base. Despite the disappointing ending, it was still a big game for the first baseman, who now has a modest six-game hit streak in which he's gone 10-for-26 with three homers, a double, seven RBI and five runs..
