Cabrera is on the bench for Sunday's series finale in Colorado.

A hitless Saturday lowered Cabrera's average to .211 in the last 10 games. He's tallied three doubles, a home run and two RBI in that span. Drew Ellis is playing third base and batting seventh Sunday.

Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to Atlanta.

Mountcastle gave Baltimore an early lead with a first-inning solo shot to center field. The homer was his 21st of the season and accounted for his 65th RBI. It also extended Mountcastle's hitting streak to 13 games, during which he is batting .396 (19-for-48) with five homers and 10 RBI.

Wade hit a go-ahead, two-run home run as a pinch hitter in Saturday's 6-5 win over Oakland.

The 27-year-old pinch hit for Darin Ruf in the ninth inning and delivered a clutch homer to put San Francisco ahead for the first time in the contest. Jake McGee was able to convert the save, but Wade was the Giants' hero in this one. The homer was Wade's 16th of the year to go with 41 RBI, 36 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .251/.324/.530 slash line across 246 plate appearances. He's likely to remain a steady presence in the lineup against right-handed pitching.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.

The first baseman has gone yard three times in his last five games and in back-to-back contests after bringing the Mets within a run with his seventh-inning blast Saturday. Alonso is on a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 9-for-28 (.321) with eight RBI and six runs scored. He's up to a .258/.340/.509 slash line, 28 homers, 73 RBI, 62 runs scored and three stolen bases in 466 plate appearances as a productive slugger in the heart of the Mets' order.

Beaty hit a single, stole a base and scored a run in his lone at-bat as a pinch hitter in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

The 28-year-old was able to make an impact after hitting for Albert Pujols in the sixth inning. Beaty got aboard on a single, stole second and scored on Chris Taylor's bases-loaded walk to give the Dodgers just enough for the win. Playing time has been sparse for Beaty lately, as he's seen just 18 at-bats across 15 games in August. He owns a .266/.363/.380 slash line with five home runs, 34 RBI, 31 runs scored and a stolen base through 212 plate appearances overall.

Hoskins (groin) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Manager Joe Girardi was optimistic that Hoskins would be able to return Saturday, but as it turns out Hoskins will be out of the lineup for at least one additional game. Brad Miller will start at first base and bat sixth.

Bell is not starting Saturday's game against the Brewers, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

A 1-for-3, two-walk performance Friday has Bell hitting .167 with a double, a home run and six RBI in his last 10 games. Ryan Zimmerman is starting at first base and batting cleanup Saturday.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in Friday's loss against the Dodgers.

Alonso was responsible for all the offense the Mets mustered throughout the game, as he blasted his 27th long ball of the season off Walker Buehler in the fourth and also added an RBI single in the eighth. The star slugger has 27 homers with 71 RBI on the season while hitting .258, and he's also hit safely in six straight games, going deep twice in that span.

Bell went 1-for-3 with two walks and an RBI in Friday's 4-1 win over the Brewers.

Bell walked with the bases loaded in the ninth to pad the Nationals' lead to 4-1. Bell has regressed in August after a nice month of July, as he's slashing .210/.296/.387 with three homers, 13 RBI, eight runs scored and 8:8 BB:K over 17 games.

France went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored in Friday's 12-3 loss to the Astros.

As a team, the Mariners got absolutely pounded by their division foes, but individually, France came out of this game quite alright. He accounted for half of his team's hits and wound up just a triple shy of the cycle. The Mariners have to love what they've gotten out of France after last year's trade with the Padres. The 27-year-old is slashing .290/.360/.455 with 14 homers, 56 RBI, 62 runs scored and 30:79 BB:K over 478 plate appearances.
