Flores is out of the lineup Sunday at Arizona, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Flores started the last 10 games and had a .925 OPS with four homers, two doubles and 12 RBI during that stretch, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's contest. Pablo Sandoval will bat sixth as the designated hitter in the series finale.

The Red Sox recalled Dalbec from their alternate training site ahead of Sunday's game against the Nationals, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Boston has yet to reveal its starting nine for the series finale, but Dalbec is expected to enter the lineup at first base as a replacement for Mitch Moreland, who was traded to the Padres. The 25-year-old will likely handle a full-time role for the rest of the season as the 11-22 Red Sox take a longer look at some younger prospects in a rebuilding campaign. Dalbec offers plus power from the right side of the plate, but he may be a liability in the batting-average category in his initial exposure to big-league pitching.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI and a run scored Saturday as the Yankees squeaked by the Mets with a 2-1 win.

Voit wasted no time at the plate as he took the first pitch he saw from Robert Gsellman deep to right to give the Yankees an early 1-0 lead. The 29-year-old has been locked in at the plate all season as he is now hitting .308/.376/.725 with 12 home runs (tied for second-most in baseball) and 22 RBI.

Bell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in a loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

Bell drove home Pittsburgh's first run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and drilled a 413-foot solo shot in the fifth. The long ball ended a power drought for the first baseman as he had last homered Aug. 5 versus Minnesota. Bell has put together a modest three-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 5-for-9 with only one strikeout.

Hoskins went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Braves.

Hoskins' 421-foot, three-run blast to center field during the fifth inning gave the Phillies a 4-0 lead, and it proved to be the difference with the Braves tallying their lone run in the following frame. The 27-year-old has a .239/.417/.435 slash line with four homers, six doubles, 22 runs and 13 RBI in 27 games.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs, two RBI and a walk during Saturday's win over the White Sox.

O'Hearn went without a homer through his first 21 games of the season, but he now has two in the past four games. The 27-year-old has a .260/.360/.411 slash line with five doubles, six runs and 17 RBI in 25 games.

Rizzo went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Yu Darvish was busy shutting down the Cincy offense in an eventual 3-0 win, so Rizzo's blasts were all the offense the Cubs would need. Although a 5-for-39 (.147) skid over his prior nine games sabotaged his overall slash line, the veteran first baseman headed into the nightcap Saturday with eight homers and 15 RBI through 32 games.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.

Walker went deep in the fourth inning to get the Diamondbacks on the board, but that was the extent of their offense. The first baseman is slashing .309/.360/.512 with four homers, 21 RBI and 19 runs scored through 33 games this season.

Flores went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Flores went deep off reliever Kevin Ginkel in the ninth inning to give the Giants extra insurance. The defensively versatile Flores is slashing .280/.312/.517 with eight homers, 21 RBI and 18 runs scored through 31 games this season. He's carved out an everyday role by being able to play first, second and third base as necessary.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Orioles.

Guerrero put the Blue Jays up 2-0 with a two-run single in the bottom of the first inning. He later led off the fourth frame with another base knock, coming around to score two batters later. Guerrero has an 11-game hitting streak, driving in 10 and scoring 10 runs in that span. Overall, he's hitting .271/.344/.483 with five home runs, 17 runs scored and 16 RBI across 131 plate appearances.
