Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.

Goldschmidt tallied only one hit, but he made it count by providing the game-winning homer in the 11th inning. He now has six home runs on the season and two in his last three games. For the campaign, Goldschmidt is hitting .245/.286/.410 to go along with 24 runs scored and 22 RBI across 147 plate appearances.

Tellez will be on the bench Tuesday in Atlanta.

The Blue Jays' lineup has one fewer spot available with the series being played under National League rules. Tellez wasn't going to push Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to the bench, so he'll sit this one out. He may find himself stuck on the bench all series unless the team elects to give Guerrero a rest.

Dalbec is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Oakland, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec hits the bench after starting 14 of the team's last 16 games at first base. It's possible he could start losing at-bats to Michael Chavis, who starts Tuesday, as he's hitting just .188/.241/.317 on the year.

Smith is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Orioles, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The left-handed hitter has only started one game this season against lefty pitchers and that trend continues Tuesday as the Mets face John Means. Smith, hitting .182 in his last seven games, figures to return to the lineup Wednesday against righty Matt Harvey.

Bohm is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Nationals, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

He's hitting .243 with two home runs, nine strikeouts and zero walks in nine games this month. Brad Miller will start at third base and hit fifth.

The Rays recalled Padlo from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Tampa Bay will swap out a left-handed bench bat in Yoshi Tsutsugo -- who was designated for assignment -- in favor of a right-handed one in Padlo. The 24-year-old could end up picking up regular at-bats against left-handed pitching, but the starts he gets likely won't come frequently enough for him to have any lasting fantasy value.

Raley was recalled Wednesday from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The rookie outfielder replaces Keibert Ruiz, who was sent down Monday, on the active roster. Raley, who has hit just .206 in 34 at-bats this season, figures to fill a part-time role in the Dodgers' injury-troubled outfield.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Tuesday he's hopeful Solano (calf) will be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Solano has been sidelined for a little over two weeks with the strained left calf, so he shouldn't need more than a handful of rehab games to prove he's healthy and regain his timing at the plate. Once he returns from the 10-day injured list, Solano will likely push Wilmer Flores for regular duties at second base.

Voit (knee) was activated off the injured list as expected Tuesday.

Voit has been out all season after undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus in his left knee in late March. He's looked quite healthy in five rehab games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, going 7-for-18 with three homers. Voit should reclaim his everyday role at first base and will be looking to build on an excellent 2020 season which saw him lead the league with 22 homers.

Flores went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over Texas.

Flores got aboard with a single in the eighth inning and promptly stole second base. That was his first steal attempt of the season. He's apparently feeling better after experiencing some minor lower-back tightness Friday versus San Diego. The 29-year-old Flores has a .207/.293/.322 slash line with two home runs, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored in 99 plate appearances. His spot in the lineup should be fairly safe as the Giants cope with injuries to Tommy La Stella (hamstring) and Donovan Solano (calf).
