Hiura was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Monday.

Hiura had lost out on regular playing time recently after he slashed .152/.247/.266 with a home run, five RBI and 32 strikeouts to begin the season. Daniel Vogelbach should see increased playing time at first base, while Billy McKinney could serve in a depth role. Hiura's removal from the major-league roster is part of a shuffle to make room for Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps), who were reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Walker (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Arizona will get some much-needed lineup reinforcements ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Miami with both Walker and outfielder Tim Locastro (finger) returning from the IL. Walker was sidelined for approximately three weeks with the right oblique strain, but after proving his health during simulated games, he should be ready to take over as Arizona's everyday first baseman. Pavin Smith will likely see more time in the corner outfield as a result.

Kirilloff went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 13-4 win over the Royals.

Kirilloff's three-run blast off reliever Jake Newberry in the eighth inning put the finishing touches on the series win for the Twins. The home run was the four of the weekend for Kirilloff, who had gone 3-for-26 with one extra-base hit (a double) over his first eight games of the season. Though the rookie's power binge is a welcome sight for fantasy managers, it's worth noting that he had no other hits in his 12 at-bats this weekend beyond the home runs, and he posted a 1:6 BB:K in the series. He's now sporting a .184 average, .200 on-base percentage, 2.6 percent walk rate and 30 percent strikeout rate on the season.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 5-0 loss to Cleveland.

Vaughn, who had half of the White Sox's hits, returned to the lineup after getting a breather Saturday and continued a resurgence at the plate that began a couple of weeks ago. Sunday's two-hit effort was his third multi-hit game among the last six, and the rookie is batting .379 (11-for-29) over the last nine contests. He has been sharing left field with others, but the rookie could find his name in the starting lineup with more regularity following an injury to Luis Robert (hip). Robert is expected to hit the injured list, which means Leury Garcia and Billy Hamilton may be needed for center field.

Olson went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Olson made a surprising return to the lineup after missing three games earlier this week due to an eye contusion, but he saw the ball well Sunday and recorded his fifth multi-hit game over his last eight contests. The 27-year-old is hitting .352 (12-for-34) with three homers and seven RBI during that eight-game stretch.

Santana went 3-for-4 in Sunday's loss against the Twins.

Santana continues to be one of the Royals' most consistent hitters and has extended his hitting streak to seven games, posting three multi-hit appearances in that span. He has also reached base safely at least twice five times during that seven-game period.

Rizzo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Reds.

Rizzo is now up to five home runs through 28 games though he's batting only .222 with a .765 OPS, so he's not reached his usual level of production quite yet. Fantasy managers will just want to remain patient, as the first baseman's track record suggests that he'll heat up as the season progresses.

Beaty went 4-for-6 with a home run, seven RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 16-4 win over Milwaukee.

Beaty opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before scoring on AJ Pollock's grand slam. In the second inning, Beaty added a grand slam of his own. He also hit a two-RBI single in the fourth and scored on a Gavin Lux single in the eighth. The 28-year-old Beaty has been limited to a part-time role this season. He has one home run, 11 RBI and five runs scored across 36 plate appearances after Sunday's big day at the dish.

Olson (eye) will start at first base and bat cleanup Sunday against the Orioles.

Manager Bob Melvin said a day earlier that Olson would likely remain out through the weekend due to an eye contusion, but the 27-year-old's vision has apparently improved enough for him to check back into the lineup for the series finale. With Olson back in action after missing the previous three games, Seth Brown will move back into a reserve role.

Dalbec is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Marwin Gonzalez will man first base while Dalbec heads to the bench following eight consecutive starts. Dalbec had gone hitless in 14 at-bats over the last four of those contests, dropping his season average to .200.
