Solano went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.

Solano cranked a two-run home run off Julio Urias in the third inning to extend the Giants' lead. Long balls are rare for the 33-year-old -- he has never hit more than four homers in any season of his career. Both of his home runs this season have come in the last three games against the Dodgers. He is slashing .269/.302/.410 in 86 plate appearances overall.

Mountcastle is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle missed a few games due to a hand injury before rejoining the lineup for Saturday's doubleheader, and he went 1-for-6 a triple, a run and five strikeouts across the twin bill. Trey Mancini (elbow) will serve as the designated hitter while Tyler Nevin starts at first base Sunday.

Gurriel (finger) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 36-year-old was scratched from Saturday's lineup with left middle finger inflammation, and he remains absent from Sunday's starting nine. It's unclear if Gurriel will be available off the bench for the series finale.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Voit (oblique) is expected to be out for at least a few weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

While Boone wasn't especially specific in providing a timeline for the slugger's return, it appears clear that Voit will miss more than the minimum 10 days as he recovers from the oblique issue. Look for Mike Ford and DJ LeMahieu to continue to get the bulk of the time at first base in Voit's absence.

Rizzo (back) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Reds.

The slugger will miss his fifth straight game, with Kris Bryant sliding over to first base once again. It's unknown whether Rizzo will be a pinch-hitting option during the series finale.

Diaz is not in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz is 2-for-21 with six walks over his past six games and will take a seat versus right-hander Zach Eflin. Ji-Man Choi will start at first base while Randy Arozarena serves as the designated hitter Sunday.

Cron is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Colorado will turn to Matt Adams to start at first base, with Cron taking at least the first portion of the tilt off. Cron figures to be an option off the bench during the series finale.

Walker went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 7-4 loss to St. Louis.

Walker was activated off the 10-day injured list and returned to the lineup from an oblique injury Saturday. He was back at first base and slotted in at fifth in the batting order.

Abreu went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the win over the Orioles in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.

Abreu slammed his 11th home run of the season off John Means with two outs in the fifth inning to extend the White Sox's lead. This came after he plated three runs in the first game of the doubleheader. The first baseman leads the team in home runs and 45 RBI. He is slashing .271/.357/.518 in 198 appearances. Abreu has 10 RBI in his last five games.

Walker (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday. He'll start at first base and bat fifth versus the Cardinals.

The 30-year-old completed his fourth rehab game with Triple-A Reno on Friday and will rejoin the Diamondbacks after spending almost three weeks on the shelf. It was Walker's second stint on the injured list this season due to the oblique injury, and he's struggled so far in 2021 with a .203/.268/.313 slash line in 71 plate appearances.
