Bohm went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Marlins.

Bohm has been outstanding as a hitter but woeful on the field, so it makes sense to keep him as the designated hitter until his bat gets cold. That has yet to happen, however, and the 25-year-old is sporting a .700/.625/.900 slash line with two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored and three walks with no strikeouts over his first 16 plate appearances in 2022.

Lowe went 3-for-4 in Saturday's loss to the Angels.

Texas managed only six hits as a team in the contest, with Lowe registering half of that total. The multi-hit performance was Lowe's fourth of the campaign in just eight games. He is batting .375 on the season and leads the Rangers with 12 hits thus far.

Cron went 2-for-4 with two home runs, two runs and three RBI in Saturday's 9-6 victory over the Cubs.

Cron took opposing starter Mark Leiter 466-feet deep to left in the third inning and tacked on a solo shot in the seventh for his third home run in two games. The second-year Rockie is now tied with Vladimir Guerrero for the MLB lead in home runs with five and owns a robust .879 OPS.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Padres.

He took Nick Martinez deep in the fifth inning, Olson's second homer of the season. The first baseman has five multi-hit performances through his first 10 games with Atlanta and has an 11:8 BB:K, resulting in a .412/.556/.676 slash line, but Olson curiously isn't driving in many runs -- his only RBI so far have come on his two solo shots.

Cooper was removed from Saturday's game against the Phillies due to an elbow contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cooper suffered the injury after Jon Berti collided with him in a rundown attempt. The severity of the injury is unclear, though Cooper initially stayed in the game only to later be removed. Joey Wendle entered the game at shortstop while Miguel Rojas moved to first base.

Rivas was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Rivas earned an Opening Day roster spot but didn't have a path to regular at-bats, going 2-for-4 at the plate in limited action. He'll play regularly in the minors as he waits for his next chance. Mark Leiter's contract was selected in a corresponding move.

France went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Astros on Friday.

France generated his second two-RBI effort in the last three games with one swing, a sixth-inning double that plated Adam Frazier and Tom Murphy. The 27-year-old has cooled off since posting a three-hit effort in his second game of the season, but his recent timely hitting is helping tide fantasy managers over for the moment.

Tellez isn't starting Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Tellez will get a breather with left-hander Steven Matz on the mound for the Cardinals. Keston Hiura will start at first base and bat fourth.

Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 win over the A's.

He took Daulton Jefferies deep in the first inning as the Blue Jays never trailed in the game. Guerrero appears intent on making sure he doesn't come in second in the MVP race this time around, and through his first eight games of the season he's slashing .367/.406/.900 with five homers and nine RBI.

Cooper went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Phillies.

Every Marlins starter collected at least one hit on the night, but Cooper led the charge from the second slot in the batting order. The 31-year-old is splitting his time between designated hitter and first base and providing his usual solid offense, slashing .280/.379/.440 through seven games with a homer, two RBI and three runs.
