Tellez (knee) is not in the lineup Friday against the Pirates.

Tellez will remain on the bench for the second straight contest after leaving Wednesday's game with right knee discomfort. Manager Craig Counsell said the 26-year-old is feeling better Friday, but the team elected to give him an extra day to recover, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Eduardo Escobar will shift to first base while Luis Urias starts at the hot corner.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in a 12-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Cronenworth singled home a run in the first to give San Diego an early 2-0 lead, singled again in the sixth and tripled to right in the eighth. The infielder has now reached base in six straight games and recorded an extra-base hit in his last three.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a strikeout in a 7-0 defeat of the Rockies on Thursday.

Wade capped a six-run fourth with his 15th home run of the season off Colorado starter German Marquez for his second straight game with a long ball. The lefty has started August slow with only two extra-base hits, both of those being the recent homers.

Calhoun was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Thursday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Calhoun returned from the injured list July 10, but his season will be put on hold once again after he suffered another hamstring issue in Wednesday's game against the Giants. The 33-year-old missed over two months with a hamstring injury earlier in the year, but it's not yet clear how long he'll be sidelined with his current injury.

Bell isn't starting Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Bell started in Thursday's matinee, but he's gone just 1-for-13 with two strikeouts across his last three appearances. Ryan Zimmerman will draw the start at first base and bat fourth.

Hoskins (groin) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Hoskins has been sidelined due to a left groin strain recently, and Tuesday is the first day that he's eligible to return from the injured list. The 28-year-old will meet with a doctor Thursday, and the meeting will likely determine whether he's ultimately able to return for Tuesday's series opener in Arizona. Brad Miller should continue to see the majority of the playing time at first base this weekend.

Wade went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over Arizona.

This was the outfielder's first long ball in eight August games. Wade has remained productive at the dish, assembling a six-game hitting streak in which he's gone 8-for-27 (.296) with five RBI and five runs scored. His season slash line is up to .253/.333/.531 with 14 homers, 35 RBI, 32 runs scored and three stolen bases through 221 plate appearances. Wade remains San Francisco's primary leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers.

Tellez (knee) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cubs.

Tellez was removed from Wednesday's game due to right knee discomfort, and the issue will force him out of the lineup for at least one additional matchup. Eduardo Escobar will take his place at first base while Luis Urias starts at the hot corner.

Bohm will sit Thursday against the Dodgers.

Bohm finds himself on the bench for the second time in three days despite the fact that he's finally found his groove at the plate, hitting .318/.375/.432 over his last 13 games. His defensive struggles could be to blame, as he has four errors in his past five contests. Ronald Torreyes will handle third base in his absence.

Alonso went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Nationals, a game New York and Washington resumed Wednesday.

Alonso broke out of an 0-for-21 funk in the first inning of the contest Tuesday, doubling to deep center before coming around to score on Dominic Smith's two-bagger. After the contest was suspended in the top of the second due to inclement weather, the two sides resumed the game Wednesday, and Alonso added two more hits to his ledger. Alonso will stick in the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with Washington, batting second while manning first base.
