Alonso went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a hit-by-pitch during Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Alonso finished off the Dodgers series red hot at the plate, going a combined 7-for-13 with a double, three home runs and nine RBI over the final three games of the four-game set. The 30-year-old has been one of baseball's best hitters this season and is up to 55 RBI, tied for the second most in MLB. He is slashing .298/.394/.579, with his average, OBP and OPS on track to set career highs if those high marks hold throughout the season.

Contreras went 4-for-8 with two doubles, one walk, four RBI and two runs scored as the Cardinals split Thursday's doubleheader versus the Royals.

Contreras hadn't posted a multi-hit effort since May 16, which was coincidentally also against the Royals. He's hit safely in six straight games, including logging a double in four of them. For the season, the 33-year-old is at a .250/.328/.391 slash line with six home runs, 36 RBI, 28 runs scored, 13 doubles and two stolen bases over 58 games.

Smith went 3-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Thursday's 3-2 win over San Diego.

Smith delivered a bounce-back performance after going 0-for-4 in his season debut during Wednesday's win over the Padres. The 29-year-old first baseman singled in his first at-bat Thursday and later hit a two-run ground-rule double in the third inning to give the Giants a 3-2 lead. San Francisco signed Smith to a one-year contract Wednesday after he began the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees organization, where he slashed .255/.333/.448 with 28 RBI, 26 runs scored, eight homers and four stolen bases across 189 plate appearances.

Manager Mike Shildt said Thursday that Arraez is day-to-day with posterior knee soreness, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Arraez appeared to tweak his knee while running to first base in the top of the sixth inning Thursday against the Giants, and he was replaced on defense when the Padres took the field in for the bottom of the frame. Shildt's comments suggest that the 28-year-old infielder didn't suffer any significant damage during the incident and could be back in the starting lineup within a few days. If Arraez ends up needing to miss a few games, Gavin Sheets or Jake Cronenworth would likely shift over to first base.

Naylor was removed from Thursday's game against Atlanta due to hand and shoulder soreness, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Manager Torey Lovullo noted Wednesday that Naylor has been playing through shoulder and hand issues for the past few days, but the 27-year-old wasn't quite able to make it through Thursday's game. The team is currently labeling him as day-to-day, though Pavin Smith may be in line for reps at first base if Naylor's injuries persist.

Bericoto (undisclosed) has gone 1-for-9 with four strikeouts in two games since he was assigned to Double-A Richmond after being reinstated from Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list.

Bericoto missed about a month of action for Sacramento due to the injury before he was sent to Richmond after playing in six rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The 23-year-old had slashed just .196/.196/.283 at Sacramento prior to missing time with the injury, so Bericoto could need an extended run of quality performances with Richmond before he rejoins the Triple-A club.

The Pirates re-signed Solak to a minor-league contract Thursday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Solak had elected free agency after being outrighted off the Pirates' 40-man roster, but he's back on a restructured pact. He went 1-for-11 at the dish during his brief time with the Pirates but has slashed .389/.449/.619 this season in the minors.

Naylor was pulled from Thursday's game in Atlanta with an undisclosed injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Naylor did not appear to suffer an obvious injury, but Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo revealed Wednesday that the first baseman has been playing through shoulder and hand issues. The Diamondbacks should update Naylor's condition soon. Naylor went 1-for-2 with a two-run single before exiting.

Freeman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Freeman will take a seat for Thursday's series finale after going 4-for-12 with two RBI and a run scored through the first three games. He'll be replaced at first base by Enrique Hernandez, who will bat seventh against Mets starter David Peterson.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five total RBI in a 6-1 win against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Alonso was almost the entire Mets offense in the victory, as he collected two of the team's four hits and knocked in five of the squad's six runs. His first long ball was a 392-foot, two-run shot in the first inning, and the slugger added a massive 447-foot, three-run blast in the eighth. Alonso went through a 16-game stretch without a home run between May 6 and May 24, but since then he's bounced back with five long balls and 15 RBI across his subsequent 10 contests.
