Cooper went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two total runs scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over Philadelphia.

The 30-year-old went yard with a two-run home run in the fourth inning and added an RBI triple in the sixth. Cooper also reached on an error in the seventh that led to Miami's sixth and final run of the game. He's hit safely in his last five games, going 7-for-20 (.350) in that span. The first baseman/outfielder has three homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and a .220/.289/.350 slash line across 135 plate appearances.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

Bell got the scoring started with a first-inning long ball against Trevor Williams. It was the fifth of the year for the 28-year-old, who has been fighting for playing time while batting just .176/.244/.361 across 30 games.

Beaty isn't starting Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Beaty had started each of the last two games and went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts during that time. Yoshi Tsutsugo will start in left field and bat seventh.

Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run in Wednesday's win over Colorado.

The second baseman smashed a ball 342 feet that just missed going over the right-field wall. The ensuing carom bounced far enough out of Charlie Blackmon's reach to allow Cronenworth to easily round the bases. The home run was his fourth of the season, and Cronenworth has his slash line up to .305/.378/.451 overall.

Rizzo (back) is starting Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Rizzo was held out of Wednesday's game after he left Tuesday's contest due to lower-back tightness. However, he'll start at first base and bat second in Thursday's series finale against Washington.

Solano isn't starting Thursday's game against the Reds.

Solano returned from the injured list Wednesday and went hitless with a strikeout in four at-bats. Mauricio Dubon will start at second base and bat sixth.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

It's the third three-hit performance in May for the veteran slugger, as he puts a sluggish April behind him. Goldschmidt is slashing .317/.377/.524 on the month with three homers, 10 RBI and 11 runs through 16 games.

Cabrera (hamstring) will not have surgery, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks will evaluate Cabrera weekly to get a sense of where he's at in the recovery process. In opting for the conservative route, Cabrera is choosing a lengthier rehab. His timetable for a return is weeks, if not months.

Alonso is dealing with soreness in his left wrist and had X-rays come back negative Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

It appeared to be a standard off day for the 26-year-old -- his first of the season -- but it turns out he's actually managing an injury. The issue apparently first surfaced when he was hit by a pitch by the Cardinals on May 5. Alonso will have Thursday's scheduled off day to be evaluated without missing another game, and he's expected to undergo an MRI.

Alonso is out of the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Alonso has started all 36 games at first base this season but will take a seat Wednesday while mired in a 4-for-35 slump. Dominic Smith will shift to first base while Cameron Maybin starts in left field for the Mets.
