Flores was diagnosed with a right foot contusion after exiting Sunday's game early.

Flores was hit on the foot by a Drew Pomeranz offering in the second inning and left the game as a result. The severity of the injury is unclear, though if he were to miss time, Jarrod Dyson would be the likely beneficiary with Ketel Marte taking over second-base duties.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-inning loss to Milwaukee.

Freeman's seventh-inning blast off Brandon Woodruff traveled 418 feet to deep center field and temporarily tied the game. The three-time All-Star has been red-hot of late, homering in each of his last four games and batting .444 (8-for-19) over that stretch. For the season, he is slashing an impressive .318/.408/.581 with 11 home runs and 29 RBI.

Flores exited Sunday's game after being hit on the foot by a pitch in the second inning, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Flores was hit on the foot by a Drew Pomeranz offering in the second inning. There has been no injury diagnosis yet, though Ketel Marte moved to second base and Jarrod Dyson entered the game in center field to cover for Flores.

Hiura went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a victory over Atlanta on Sunday.

The heralded rookie drove a Mike Foltynewicz slider over the fence in left field in the fifth inning for the first homer of his career. Since being called up to Milwaukee on May 14, Hiura has started every game and has collected three multi-hit outings. His batting average sits at .250 for the season.

Bell went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Padres.

It's the third time in May that Bell has gone yard twice in a game. The 26-year-old now has a .333/.402/.704 slash line on the year with 14 homers and a big-league-leading 43 RBI through 43 games.

Freeman went 2-for-5 with a walkoff solo home run in a 4-3 extra-inning victory against the Brewers on Saturday.

Freeman led off the 10th inning with his third home run in as many games, this one giving the Braves the win. Freeman is hitting .338 (22-for-65) with five home runs in May. Overall, he's slashing .314/.406/.566 with 10 homers, 28 RBI and 33 runs in 202 plate appearances.

Rizzo (back) went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 14-6 win over the Nationals.

Rizzo had missed the previous four games with a tight back, so it was nice to see him get back into action. He occupied the No. 3 spot in the lineup Friday night and should remain a key cog in the Cubs' attack moving forward.

France went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.

France's blast came in the ninth inning, helping the Padres to recover half of their four-run deficit at the time, but it would be all the offense they could muster. France is hitting .208 with two homers and eight RBI in 19 games. The rookie infielder will need to improve at the dish if he is to remain in the majors when Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) returns, which is not expected to be before May 22.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Marlins.

The rookie slugger took Trevor Richards deep in the second inning and touched up Nick Anderson in the eighth, giving Alonso 14 homers on the year to go along with his .266/.346/.595 slash line. He now sits third in the NL in home runs, behind only Christian Yelich (18) and Cody Bellinger (16), and Alonso's 34 RBI puts him in seventh.

Beaty will start at first base Saturday against the Reds, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Beaty was recently recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and with Justin Turner sustaining a shin injury Friday night, Beaty will receive an opportunity to make his first major-league start. Max Muncy will move to third base while Turner is out of the mix.
