Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Astros.

Jose Urquidy kept Oakland's offense quiet through five innings, but Olson was able to take the right-hander deep for a two-run shot to give the A's a 2-1 lead in the sixth. It marked the first baseman's 12th long ball on the campaign. Despite hitting just .194 so far, Olson has been able to reach base at a .320 clip while providing plenty of power in the middle of the Athletics' lineup.

Flores went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Padres.

Flores got the Giants on the board with a solo shot off Chris Paddack in the second inning. It was the 29-year-old's team-leading ninth long ball of the season. He is slashing .296/.341/.546.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored during a 12-2 win over the Tigers in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader.

The blast extended his hitting streak to six games, although Goldschmidt saw it snapped in the nightcap when he went 0-for-3 with a walk. The veteran slugger is slashing .325/.459/.513 through 37 games on the year with five homers and 15 RBI.

Dalbec went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Rays.

Dalbec took Josh Fleming deep in the fifth inning for his sixth home run of the season. He's now homered in five consecutive starts, with the only downside being four have been solo shots. Dalbec has struck out in an alarming 49 percent of his 39 plate appearances to this point, though his .750 slugging percentage is offsetting all those whiffs at the moment.

Voit isn't in Thursday's lineup against the Orioles.

Voit will get his first day off in nearly a month after recording hits in each of the past three contests. Mike Ford will start at first base Thursday.

Freeman went 3-for-6 with a home run, six RBI and two runs Wednesday in the Braves' 29-9 beatdown of the Marlins.

Freeman's evening was highlighted by a two-run, line-drive homer in the third and a liner that took a wicked hop and bounced off Jazz Chisholm before dribbling into right field for a bases-clearing double. The first baseman leads the team with a .329 batting average and .449 on-base percentage on the season and has now collected 16 RBI over his last six games.

Alonso went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored as he helped the Mets to a 7-6 win over the Orioles on Wednesday.

Alonso played the hero in Wednesday's game as he took Hunter Harvey deep on the first pitch he saw in the eighth to give the Mets their first lead of the game. The 25-year-old is still hitting a mere .234/.339/.474 this season but is tied for fifth in the majors with 11 home runs.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Athletics.

Gurriel accounted for the Astros' second and final run with his long ball in the sixth inning. The 36-year-old now has six homers, 18 RBI and 26 runs scored with a .263/.307/.463 slash line through 43 games this season.

Voit went 1-for-5 while scoring a run and recording an RBI in the Yankees' 7-2 victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday night.

Voit extended his hit streak to three and could've been in line for a larger night had he not left three runners on base. Although Nelson Cruz, Mike Trout and Fernando Tatis Jr. have inched ahead on the home run leaderboard, Baseball Savant puts Voit in the top-five percentile of expected slugging, signifying that he can hang with that elite company. With advanced metrics on his side and a reliable spot in the middle of the Yankees' order, Voit remains a dependable fantasy asset.

Tellez (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the 2020 season with a suspected tendon injury, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

The 25-year-old suffered the injury during Tuesday's contest and landed on the injured list Wednesday with a right knee strain, but it appears he'll be sidelined for more than the 10-day minimum by the unspecified tendon injury. Tellez remains without an official timeline for his return, so it's unclear if a return during a potential playoff run is possible.
