Rizzo went 1-for-2 with three walks, three runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 16-4 win over the Mets.

Rizzo displayed great patience at the plate and contributed to the dominant Chicago win. While the star first baseman hasn't produced to his typical levels yet, the fact that he's seemingly seeing the ball well is a good sign that big numbers could be coming soon.

Solano suffered a right calf strain Wednesday against the Phillies and will miss "some time," per manager Gabe Kapler, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

It sounds like Solano is ticketed for the injured list. This should open up some playing time for Mauricio Dubon and Wilmer Flores in the short term.

Manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that Cooper is "a little nicked up" with a groin injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper didn't appear in Wednesday's win over Baltimore, and Mattingly revealed after the game that the 30-year-old was held out as a precautionary measure. Mattingly didn't sound too concerned about Cooper's injury, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Thursday's series opener against the Giants.

Solano exited Wednesday's game against the Phillies in the top of the sixth inning with an apparent leg injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Solano doubled in the top of the sixth inning Wednesday, but he pulled up while running from second to third base and was immediately removed from the game. The exact nature and severity of the injury aren't yet clear.

Cronenworth isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.

Cronenworth went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. Ha-Seong Kim will take over at second base Wednesday, batting seventh.

Hiura isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Hiura went just 1-for-11 with a walk and five strikeouts in the last three games. Daniel Vogelbach will take over at first base Wednesday, batting second.

Bohm went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

Bohm's only hit of the night was a two-run blast to left to put the Phillies up 6-3. It was his second home run of the season and his fourth game with at least one RBI in the last five contests. The 24-year-old has started seeing the ball much better, as he hasn't struck out the past three games after registering a 3:18 BB:K through his first 14 contests.

Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

Hoskins was expecting to have the day off but was needed to fill in after Jean Segura exited with a strained right quadriceps running through first to end the third inning. The 28-year-old Hoskins made some noise late, as he sent a fastball into the seats in left center in the ninth for his third home run of the year. After having a scorching hot first week at the plate, Hoskins has cooled down a bunch with a .167/.222/.333 slash line and 3:16 BB:K over his last 11 games.

Flores went 1-for-1 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Phillies.

Flores came on as a pinch hitter in the eighth and hit the second three-run blast of the inning to extend the Giants' lead to 10-6. It was the 29-year-old's first long ball of the season, as he's working to brush off his early struggles after coming into Tuesday night with just four hits in his first 29 at-bats. Flores has started on the bench in each of the last four games and appears to have lost a starting role for the time being until he can improve his swing at the plate.

Cron went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Cron was responsible for almost all of the Rockies' runs in the contest, driving in a pair with a double in the sixth inning before blasting a three-run shot in the eighth. The home run was the first of the regular season for the slugger after he went deep five times during spring straining. Cron boosted his average to .208 with the two-hit performance.
