Wade (knee) went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs in Friday's rehab game at Triple-A Sacramento.

Wade has made four rehab appearances and has hit .364 with five RBI and four runs. Manager Gabe Kapler said the team will discuss whether Wade is ready to rejoin the major-league club following Friday's strong performance, but the Giants initially hoped that the 28-year-old would have a longer rehab assignment.

Dalbec will start at first base against left-handers, while Franchy Cordero slots in against righties, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Dalbec's season-opening funk finally cost him plate appearances, reducing him to the short side of a platoon. Cordero was called up Friday and started against Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish. With O's righty Spenser Watkins projected to start Saturday, Dalbec should open the game on the bench. Dalbec, who entered Friday's game as a defensive replacement, is batting .154 through 19 games.

Naylor went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during Friday's 9-8 victory over the Athletics.

Naylor singled in the first inning and smashed a two-run shot off Oakland reliever Domingo Acevedo in the seventh to give Cleveland the lead for good. The 24-year-old has been hot since making his season debut April 15, slashing .317/.333/.512 in 41 at-bats.

Rizzo went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 12-2 win over the Royals.

The veteran first baseman crushed a Kris Bubic fastball to center field in the first inning, setting the tone for the night. Rizzo has hit safely in nine straight games, slashing .359/.375/.897 over that stretch with six of his nine homers on the season and 13 of his 21 RBI.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in a 5-1 victory over Detroit on Friday.

Freeman walked, stole second and scored on a Justin Turner home run in the first inning, and he tacked on a single in the third. The 32-year-old has begun his Dodgers career with a strong line of .311/.388/.486 and two stolen bases in 19 games as he looks to reach double digits for the second time in 13 seasons.

Cron went 2-for-2 with three walks, one RBI and one run scored Friday against the Reds.

Cron delivered an RBI single in the sixth inning to continue his excellent start to the season and extend his hitting streak to four games. He entered the matchup having earned only two walks, though he more than doubled that total by earning three free passes Friday. Cron has maintained a .299/.345/.662 through 84 plate appearances on the campaign, highlighted by seven home runs, 19 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Guerrero went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 11-7 loss to Houston.

Guerrero had a day off Thursday with a minor foot issue but he looked plenty healthy Friday, launching a three-run shot off Jose Urquidy in the third inning. The 23-year-old slugger is slashing .301/.369/.575 with six homers and 16 RBI through 84 plate appearances. He was 10-for-38 (.263) without a home run in his previous 11 contests.

Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Friday's 7-3 win over the Pirates.

He upped his average to .213 and now has 12 RBI on the season. It was his third multi-hit game in his last six contests.

Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 loss to Boston.

Mountcastle spoiled Boston's shutout bid with a leadoff home run in the ninth inning off Hansel Robles. It was his second long ball of the year and first since April 9. The 25-year-old is sporting a disappointing .618 OPS with three extra-base hits through 76 plate appearances.

Vaughn, who was hit on his right hand by a pitch in the ninth inning, will get X-rays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Vaughn, who went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in addition to the HBP, remained in the game, but it is apparently causing enough discomfort that tests are needed. He should be considered day-to-day for now.
