Brooks isn't in the Giants' lineup versus the Astros on Tuesday.

Brooks started in the last two games at first and went 1-for-6. Prior to the two starts Sunday and Monday, he did not appear in four consecutive games. The first baseman has been seeing more regular playing time with LaMonte Wade (hamstring) on the injured list, but Wilmer Flores will get the start at first base Tuesday.

Flores is back in the Giants' lineup versus the Astros on Tuesday.

Flores came away with some knee soreness after playing two straight series on turf surfaces in Arizona and Texas. Despite this, he was available off the bench Monday versus the Astros and got a hit in his lone plate appearance. With the 32-year-old starting at first and batting sixth, Trenton Brooks will take a seat.

Reds manager David Bell revealed Tuesday that Encarnacion-Strand is considering season-ending surgery to repair ligament damage in his right wrist, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Encarnacion-Strand initially went on the 10-day injured list in early May with a fracture in the wrist, but subsequent testing has apparently shown ligament damage. If the infielder opts against surgery, it's not clear how much longer he might be sidelined. Encarnacion-Strand slashed only .190/.220/.293 with two home runs in 29 games before getting hurt.

Cronenworth went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs against Oakland in Monday's 6-1 win.

Cronenworth put San Diego's first run on the board with a solo homer in the third inning, and he scored again after getting hit by a pitch in the seventh. The second baseman also doubled in the contest, resulting in his first game with multiple extra-base hits since May 3. Cronenworth has put together a modest five-game hitting streak during which he's gone 8-for-19 with two homers, two doubles, six RBI and four runs.

Flores is dealing with knee soreness, but he's available off the bench Monday versus the Astros, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Flores went 3-for-13 with two solo home runs over the team's three-game series in Texas, but manager Bob Melvin said Monday that the 32-year-old's knee is a little sore after San Francisco's second straight series on turf. There currently doesn't appear to be any long-term concern with the veteran's health.

Wade (hamstring) will take batting practice Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wade resumed baseball activities over the weekend and is almost ready to do some hitting on the field. He's been on the shelf since late May with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. While Wade looks to be trending in a positive direction, the real test for him will be when he does some running, and it's not clear when he'll be cleared for that.

Montero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Even with Kris Bryant (ribs), Sean Bouchard (ankle) and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) recently joining Nolan Jones (knee) and Jordan Beck (hand) on the injured list, Montero still hasn't been able to maintain a regular spot in the Colorado lineup. He'll take a seat for the second day in a row, with his move to the bench coming after he had gotten off to a 3-for-27 start to June while striking out at a 39.3 percent clip. Recent Triple-A Albuquerque call-up Michael Toglia sported a hot bat during the Rockies' four-game weekend series split with the Cardinals and looks to have unseated Montero as the Rockies' preferred option at first base for the time being.

Toglia will start at first base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Since getting recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque while Kris Bryant (ribs) and Sean Bouchard (foot) were simultaneously placed on the injured list, Toglia has started in each of Colorado's ensuing five games. After going 4-for-13 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base, four RBI and a run while making three starts in right field and one at first base during the Rockies' weekend series in St. Louis, Toglia will stay in the lineup at the latter position Monday while Elehuris Montero heads to the bench. Toglia looks poised to retain an everyday role for Colorado so long as he continues to produce at the plate.

Joe went 1-for-5 with a triple and two RBI on Sunday against the Twins.

Joe delivered his lone hit of the game in the fifth inning to give the Pirates a brief lead. He has five RBI and seven runs scored across his last 10 games, though that production has primarily come due to timely hitting as he is just 7-for-38 overall in that span. Joe remains a near everyday player for Pittsburgh, playing primarily in right field against right-handed pitching while shifting to first base against lefties.

Tellez went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk Sunday against the Twins.

Tellez has had a miserable start to his tenure in Pittsburgh, though he's begun to turn things around in his last five starts. He has four multi-hit games in that stretch, hitting .529 with seven RBI and three runs scored. Tellez should remain Pittsburgh's primary first baseman against right-handed pitching.
