Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs in a 6-2 win against the Dodgers on Monday.

Cronenworth opened the scoring with his first-inning RBI double, walked in the second, and smashed a two-run home run in the fifth to extend the Padres' lead to 6-1. After hitting six home runs in his first 49 games, Cronenworth now has three in his last six along with three doubles.

Wade was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Wade had been finding himself in the lineup on a regular basis, starting five straight games in left field. He was hitting well, too, posting a .265/.344/.470 slash line through 94 plate appearances on the year. He'll head to the minors for now, with Alex Dickerson returning from a back injury to take his spot in left field, but he's seemingly earned the chance to return soon whenever the Giants next need another outfielder.

Cooper (back) started a throwing program and began hitting off a tee Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cooper has been cleared to resume baseball activities after he was placed on the 10-day injured list June 9 with a lumbar strain. The Marlins may want to see Cooper complete a brief minor-league rehab assignment before activating him from the IL, so he could be challenged to rejoin the big club by the end of June.

Flores went 4-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-2 win over Philadelphia.

Flores clocked a solo shot in the first inning before collecting three singles and scoring two more runs. The veteran infielder is riding a nine-game hitting streak and hasn't struck out in his last 10 games. He improved his slash line to .263/.337/.425 with five homers and 23 runs scored through 181 plate appearances.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in a 9-1 loss to St. Louis in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Freeman singled to lead off the fourth inning, then moved to third on an Ozzie Albies single. Albies eventually stole second, and that bought enough time for Freeman to steal home for Atlanta's lone run in the contest. The first baseman isn't known for his speed, but he's up to four stolen bases in five attempts this year. He's added a .247/.357/.467 slash line, 16 home runs, 40 RBI and 46 runs scored through 68 games.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-6 with a home run, four RBI and a walk across both halves of Sunday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

Most of the first baseman's contributions came in Game 1, where he hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the sixth of a 9-1 win. Goldschmidt also got on base twice in the nightcap as St. Louis mustered just two hits in a 1-0 loss. The 33-year-old is slashing .255/.320/.419 with 10 homers, 38 RBI, 38 runs scored and five stolen bases across 294 plate appearances.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.

Alonso has now reached base in each of his last five games, and he hit his first home run since June 9 in Sunday's matchup. He's now slashing .247/.333/.455 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 31 runs in 2021.

Cron went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Milwaukee.

Cron's two-run blast in the sixth inning was his ninth of the season and pulled the Rockies within a run of the Brewers. The 31-year-old slugger is heating up with the weather, going 10-for-24 (.417) with four homers and 10 RBI over his last seven games. He's sporting a .271/.371/.475 slash line with 28 RBI through 210 plate appearances.

Walker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Walker will be getting a routine breather in the series finale, allowing Asdrubal Cabrera to pick up a start at first base. Through 17 games in June, Walker is batting .182 with a home run, nine runs and seven RBI.

Beaty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With starts in five of the Dodgers' previous six games, Beaty has been the main beneficiary of Max Muncy (oblique) being moved to the injured list June 12. Albert Pujols will fill in at first base Sunday while Beaty rests, but both players look as though they could see a reduction of playing time in the near future. Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that he expects both Muncy and Cody Bellinger (hamstring) to return from the injured list within the next few days, and Corey Seager (hand) could be ready to rejoin the Dodgers as early as next week.
