France went 3-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Saturday's win over the Red Sox.

France was trouble for the Red Sox's pitchers all game, reaching base four times and hitting a pair of doubles, giving him seven on the season. He's so far been able to back up his small-sample success from last season, hitting .320/.416/.533 through 21 games.

Voit (knee) went through defensive drills at the Yankees' alternate training site Saturday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

Voit was expected to arrive at the alternate site early next week, but he's evidently shown up a few days early. It remains unclear when he'll be ready to return to game action as he works his way back from late-March knee surgery.

Beaty was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Beaty made the team's Opening Day roster but didn't do much with his limited opportunities, going 1-for-11 at the plate before being sent down in mid-April. He's unlikely to fill a significant role now that he's back with the team.

Mountcastle isn't starting Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Mountcastle has gone just 1-for-22 with one RBI, one walk and six strikeouts in his last seven games. Pedro Severino will serve as the designated hitter while Chance Sisco starts behind the dish.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, a walk and a run in a win over the Reds on Friday.

The veteran's third-inning two-bagger extended the Cardinals' lead to 3-0 at the time and gave Goldschimdt his third multi-RBI effort of the season. The 33-year-old had gone hitless in three of his previous four games, however, and he's underwhelmed early with a .240/.288/.360 slash through 80 plate appearances.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and a run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.

Austin Meadows moved down to the No. 3 spot in the lineup in a same-handed matchup versus Steven Matz, affording Diaz his fifth start out of the top of the order versus a southpaw this season. The burly infielder is now slashing an uneven .254/.413/.305, and although the minuscule slugging percentage is largely due to the fact he's yet to leave the yard through 75 plate appearances, Diaz already matched last season's doubles tally with his third two-bagger of the season Friday.

Cron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.

Two games after smacking his first home run of the campaign, Cron went deep again Friday, tying the game with a two-run shot off Vince Velasquez in the fourth inning. He now has nine RBI on the season and is slashing .200/.313/.382 across 64 plate appearances.

Hoskins went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to Colorado.

The first baseman gave Philadelphia a two-run lead in the seventh inning with a 439-foot solo blast. The homer was Hoskins' second in the past three games and fourth overall this season. He is slashing .250/.278/.500 with seven RBI.

Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a home run, one double, two RBI and two runs in Friday's 15-2 win over the Brewers.

Rizzo put the Cubs on the board with an RBI double in the first inning before he hit a solo blast with one out in the second. The 31-year-old is now slashing .246/.359/.508 with four home runs, 12 runs and seven RBI to begin the season.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's win over the Angels.

Gurriel's two-run blast in the seventh inning tied the game up at 2-2 and helped force extra innings. The 36-year-old infielder is slashing .328/.451/.522 with three home runs and 11 RBI this season.
