Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays.

Dalbec hit a three-run home run off Steven Matz with two outs in the second inning. The 26-year-old has shown more promise as of late, with four home runs and eight extra-base hits coming in the last two weeks. However, he has struggled to reach base consistently, slashing .218/.271/.419 in 133 plate appearances. His 33.1 percent strikeout rate needs to come down if he's going to increase his on-base percentage.

Cooper went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two total runs scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over Philadelphia.

The 30-year-old went yard with a two-run home run in the fourth inning and added an RBI triple in the sixth. Cooper also reached on an error in the seventh that led to Miami's sixth and final run of the game. He's hit safely in his last five games, going 7-for-20 (.350) in that span. The first baseman/outfielder has three homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and a .220/.289/.350 slash line across 135 plate appearances.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

Bell got the scoring started with a first-inning long ball against Trevor Williams. It was the fifth of the year for the 28-year-old, who has been fighting for playing time while batting just .176/.244/.361 across 30 games.

Beaty isn't starting Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Beaty had started each of the last two games and went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts during that time. Yoshi Tsutsugo will start in left field and bat seventh.

Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run in Wednesday's win over Colorado.

The second baseman smashed a ball 342 feet that just missed going over the right-field wall. The ensuing carom bounced far enough out of Charlie Blackmon's reach to allow Cronenworth to easily round the bases. The home run was his fourth of the season, and Cronenworth has his slash line up to .305/.378/.451 overall.

Rizzo (back) is starting Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Rizzo was held out of Wednesday's game after he left Tuesday's contest due to lower-back tightness. However, he'll start at first base and bat second in Thursday's series finale against Washington.

Solano isn't starting Thursday's game against the Reds.

Solano returned from the injured list Wednesday and went hitless with a strikeout in four at-bats. Mauricio Dubon will start at second base and bat sixth.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

It's the third three-hit performance in May for the veteran slugger, as he puts a sluggish April behind him. Goldschmidt is slashing .317/.377/.524 on the month with three homers, 10 RBI and 11 runs through 16 games.

Cabrera (hamstring) will not have surgery, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks will evaluate Cabrera weekly to get a sense of where he's at in the recovery process. In opting for the conservative route, Cabrera is choosing a lengthier rehab. His timetable for a return is weeks, if not months.

Gurriel went 4-for-5 with four RBI, one run scored and two doubles Wednesday against the Athletics.

Gurriel delivered two big hits in the contest, the first a two-RBI double in the seventh inning. He followed that up with another two-run double in the following frame, which helped provide Houston with plenty of insurance runs. Gurriel continues to hit very well and has maintained a.338/.408/.576 slash line with seven home runs, 22 runs scored and 36 RBI across 41 games.
