Cron went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and a strikeout in the Rockies' 3-1 win over the Padres on Sunday.

Cron knotted the score at 1-1 with his fourth-inning solo blast off Chris Paddack and doubled in the sixth and eighth for his third three-hit game of the season. The first baseman was in a mini 0-for-8 slump prior to the consecutive extra-base hits and enters the break slashing .254/.364/.470 with 12 home runs and 35 runs and RBI apiece in 75 games.

Wade (hand) is back in the starting lineup Sunday against the Nationals, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Wade did not play in the last two games after he exited Wednesday's contest with a left hand strain. He appears to be feeling better Sunday, as he'll lead off as the first baseman against Erick Fedde.

Calhoun is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Calhoun went hitless in his return from a hamstring strain strain Saturday. The veteran outfielder will get at the least the beginning portion of Sunday's game off before the club breaks for the All-Star Game.

Bohm tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and will miss at least 10 days, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Bohm was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, though it was initially unclear whether that was due to a positive test or contact tracing. He'll now be forced to miss a minimum of a week and a half, though his absence will be extended beyond that if he's unable to quickly pass through the league's health and safety protocols. Brad Miller could see an increase in playing time in Bohm's absence.

Bohm (COVID-19) tested positive for the virus and will miss at least 10 days, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Whether he misses more than 10 days will depend on his symptoms and future test results. Brad Miller and Luke Williams figure to carry the load at third base until Bohm returns.

Bohm was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Bohm left Saturday's game against Boston due to health and safety protocols, and now his placement on the COVID-19 injured list means he'll remain out Sunday. The third baseman's post All-Star break status should become more clear as the week progresses.

Hiura is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Reds.

The 24-year-old entered Saturday's contest as a pinch hitter but struck out in both of his plate appearances. Rowdy Tellez will start at first base in a rough matchup against righty Luis Castillo.

Calhoun started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 22-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Calhoun was reinstated off the 60-day injured list Saturday, appearing in his first MLB game since April 27. He had suffered a setback while on rehab assignment, appearing in two games before being recalled from rehab. He has since gotten at-bats in the Arizona Complex League and at the team's training complex. He's in the final year of a two-year deal signed prior to the 2020 season, so Calhoun is a prime candidate to be moved to a playoff contender before the trade deadline.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Game 2 of Saturday's twin bill versus Pittsburgh.

The first baseman went 0-for-3 in the matinee but contributed a solo homer in the third inning of the nightcap. The long ball was his fourth in his past eight games, a stretch during which he has also collected nine RBI. Over that span, six of Alonso's seven hits have gone for extra bases.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

The first baseman's biggest play of the night was a moonshot to left-center field in the fifth inning off Cubs starter Zach Davies. Goldschmidt's hitting streak is up to 10 games, during which he's gone 16-for-40 (.400) with two homers, eight RBI and eight runs scored. He's slashing .265/.335/.432 with 13 long balls, 49 RBI, 48 runs scored and five stolen bases through 373 plate appearances overall. He remains a fixture in the top third of St. Louis' lineup.
