Bohm isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Bohm will get a breather after he went 0-for-9 with a run, two walks and three strikeouts in the last three games. Brad Miller will start at third base and bat third.

Cron isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Cron had gone 0-for-9 with two walks and four strikeouts across the last three games. Josh Fuentes will shift to first base while Brendan Rodgers starts at the keystone.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

It's the fourth multi-hit performance in the last six games for Freeman, who has shaken off his slow start to the season. Over his last 16 games, the first baseman is slashing .328/.438/.607 with five homers and 11 RBI.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

The 25-year-old has been one of the few constants in the Mets lineup this season, but that hasn't translated into production. Smith is hitting .280 (21-for-75) in May, but he hasn't homered since April 13 and has only two long balls and 15 RBI on the year, well below the expectations created by his strong 2020 campaign.

Walker (oblique) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno and played games Monday and Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Walker is on the verge of returning to Diamondbacks, as manager Torey Lovullo estimated at least one more rehab game before the club makes a determination of whether he's ready to return. This is Walker's second stint on the injured list due to the same oblique issue, though it looks like this time he'll miss fewer games than the 18 he missed earlier.

Hoskins went 1-for-3 with two-run home run during Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

The 28-year-old went deep off Sandy Alcantara during the fourth inning, which ended up being the only runs from either team during the contest. Hoskins has a .262/.335/.492 slash line with 10 home runs, 12 doubles, 29 RBI and 29 runs through 49 games this season, though Tuesday's long ball was only his second in the month of May.

Bell went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.

Bell kept the Nationals in the game with a ninth-inning blast off reliever Amir Garrett, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide. He's warming up with two homers over his last five appearances, a span in which he's recorded three multi-hit efforts.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk Monday against the White Sox.

Goldschmidt was one of two St. Louis players who recorded two hits in this game -- Yadier Molina was the other -- and he plated the team's lone run with an RBI single that scored Tommy Edman in the top of the sixth. The veteran first baseman has hit safely in all but two of his last 14 games, batting .304/.371/.500 in that stretch.

Alonso (hand) remains on track for a brief stay on the injured list, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Alonso is eligible to return to the roster Saturday. The Mets didn't specify exactly when he'd be back, but it looks as though a minimum-length absence is on the table.

Hiura was recalled by the Brewers on Monday.

Hiura was sent to Triple-A Nashville at the beginning of May, and he slashed .438/.526/.906 with three home runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases in nine minor-league games. Hitting the ball hard has never been a problem for Hiura, but it is a bit concerning that he struck out at a 34.2 percent clip during this latest run at Triple-A. The Brewers would like him to cement himself as the primary first baseman, but Daniel Vogelbach could still see some starts against righties until Hiura rounds into form.
