Asdrubal Cabrera 1B | CIN
Nationals' Asdrubal Cabrera: Questionable with sore foot
Cabrera fouled a ball off his foot a couple days ago and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
He went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's game, so perhaps it's something that he thought he could play through but he is now experiencing enough pain to potentially sit out Wednesday. The Nationals' lineup should be posted early in the afternoon to clarify his status.

Donovan Solano 1B | TEX
Giants' Donovan Solano: Hits walkoff homer
Solano went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.
Three Giants recorded three or more hits in this game and while Solano also accounted for one of the team's 14 knocks, he delivered the biggest one -- his two-run shot in the bottom of the 11th inning carried San Francisco to a huge win over their division rivals. It was Solano's second homer of the season, but the second baseman is still hitting an impressive .351 with a .896 OPS this year.

Christian Walker 1B | HOU
Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Homers in two straight
Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies.
Walker launched his second homer in as many games and has eight hits (four extra-base hits) in the last 18 at-bats. The first baseman, who launched 29 home runs over 152 games last season, has just three over 30 games in 2020. He's one of several Diamondback hitters whose power stroke has fallen off. Arizona ranks 26th in MLB with 26 home runs.

Joey Votto 1B | TOR
Reds' Joey Votto: Ejected from Tuesday's game
Votto went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts before he was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
Votto wore the Golden Sombrero, was none too happy about it and let the home-plate umpire know. He had a point about a few of those called strikes and did not do anything that would warrant further discipline. The soon-to-be 37-year-old has been in a bad way at the plate going back several weeks now; Votto is 8-for-56 (.142 average) in his last 16 games.

Chris Shaw 1B | CHW
Giants' Chris Shaw: Added to 60-man pool
Shaw joined the Giants' 60-man player pool, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
This apparently comes directly from Shaw's personal Instagram account. He was surprisingly left off the original 60-man roster, so we at least know now that he is healthy and still has a chance to carve out a role with the Giants going forward.

Christian Walker 1B | HOU
Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Goes deep Monday
Walker went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.
Walker's fourth inning homer briefly tied the game at two, but that would be it for the Diamondbacks' offense Monday. The first baseman is up to two homers, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored in 29 games. He's slashing .287/.347/.454 across 118 plate appearances.

Kole Calhoun 1B | CLE
Diamondbacks' Kole Calhoun: Lifts eighth homer
Calhoun went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.
Calhoun went deep in the third inning to get the Diamondbacks on the board. The 32-year-old hasn't hit well overall, with a .228 batting average, but his .515 slugging percentage would be the highest of his nine-year career if he can sustain it all season. He's up to eight homers, 19 RBI and 17 runs scored in 28 games.

Paul Goldschmidt 1B | NYY
Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Monster game in blowout
Goldschmidt went 3-for4 with a two-run home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 9-3 win over the Royals.
Goldschmidt drove Tommy Edman in with an infield single in the fifth and added his third homer of the season in the sixth. The first baseman's batting average is up to .368 and his .507 on-base percentage is tops in the majors.

Freddie Freeman 1B | LAD
Braves' Freddie Freeman: Plates three Sunday
Freeman went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Philadelphia.
Freeman got Atlanta on the board with a two-RBI double in the third inning, and he later scored on a Marcell Ozuna single. In the ninth, Freeman ripped another double to left-center field to score one run, but Dansby Swanson was thrown out at the plate to end the game. The 30-year-old Freeman is batting .302/.427/.542 with four homers, 17 RBI and 22 runs scored through 28 games.
