Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in the Padres' 8-1 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

Cronenworth reached base safely three times in the game Tuesday and recorded his third multi-hit game in a row. The 27-year-old has at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 games. Due to his recent success, he has received more at-bats at the top of the lineup. He is slashing .286/.364/.429 in 152 plate appearances and shares the Padres' lead in extra-base hits alongside Fernando Tatis with 12.

Cabrera went 4-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 11-3 victory over the Marlins.

The veteran infielder's fourth hit of the night was a three-run shot to right field that put the exclamation point on the blowout win. Cabrera has now collected at least one hit in five straight games, going 9-for-18 with two homers and six RBI over the span. The 35-year-old is slashing .290/.398/.486 overall this season.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.

Goldschmidt tallied only one hit, but he made it count by providing the game-winning homer in the 11th inning. He now has six home runs on the season and two in his last three games. For the campaign, Goldschmidt is hitting .245/.286/.410 to go along with 24 runs scored and 22 RBI across 147 plate appearances.

Smith is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Orioles, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The left-handed hitter has only started one game this season against lefty pitchers and that trend continues Tuesday as the Mets face John Means. Smith, hitting .182 in his last seven games, figures to return to the lineup Wednesday against righty Matt Harvey.

Bohm is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Nationals, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

He's hitting .243 with two home runs, nine strikeouts and zero walks in nine games this month. Brad Miller will start at third base and hit fifth.

Raley was recalled Wednesday from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The rookie outfielder replaces Keibert Ruiz, who was sent down Monday, on the active roster. Raley, who has hit just .206 in 34 at-bats this season, figures to fill a part-time role in the Dodgers' injury-troubled outfield.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Tuesday he's hopeful Solano (calf) will be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Solano has been sidelined for a little over two weeks with the strained left calf, so he shouldn't need more than a handful of rehab games to prove he's healthy and regain his timing at the plate. Once he returns from the 10-day injured list, Solano will likely push Wilmer Flores for regular duties at second base.

Flores went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over Texas.

Flores got aboard with a single in the eighth inning and promptly stole second base. That was his first steal attempt of the season. He's apparently feeling better after experiencing some minor lower-back tightness Friday versus San Diego. The 29-year-old Flores has a .207/.293/.322 slash line with two home runs, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored in 99 plate appearances. His spot in the lineup should be fairly safe as the Giants cope with injuries to Tommy La Stella (hamstring) and Donovan Solano (calf).

Cron was placed on the 10-day injured list with a lower-back strain Monday.

It's a poorly-timed injury for Cron, as he was just starting to heat up at the plate, posting a 1.188 OPS over his last 15 games after struggling to a .558 OPS over his first 14. The move was backdated to Friday, so he'll be eligible to return as soon as next Monday, though it's not yet clear whether or not he's expected to do so. Matt Adams and Connor Joe have started the last four games at first base and will likely continue to split time there until Cron returns.

Freeman went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and one walk while knocking in two runs in Sunday's win over Philadelphia.

Freeman got on base in every plate appearance Sunday evening. He knocked in teammate Ronald Acuna in the first inning and followed it up with a solo shot in the third inning. Freeman is now slashing .217/.352/.467 and appears to have broken out of his slump.
