Calhoun went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Padres.

Calhoun's seventh-inning blast was his team-leading third and gives him eight RBI (second on club). He's hitting just .192, but Calhoun has picked up his production of late. The right fielder is 7-for-28 with two home runs and seven RBI over the last seven games.

Flores is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Flores was included in the lineup in each of the team's last four games, but the Giants faced three lefty starters during that stretch. As a result, Flores should still be viewed as a short-side platoon player at this stage, relegating his usefulness mostly to NL-only leagues.

Cronenworth is not in the lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

The 26-year-old started the previous six games and went 6-for-19 with two homers, a double, a triple and three RBI, but he'll take a seat for the series finale. Eric Hosmer's return from the injured list likely means Cronenworth won't be starting everyday, but he should continue seeing opportunities at second base given how well he's played. Jurickson Profar is starting at the keystone Sunday with lefty Madison Bumgarner on the mound for Arizona.

O'Hearn (shin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

O'Hearn exited early in Saturday's win after fouling a ball off his right shin, so he'll get some extra time to heal up from the injury while Hunter Dozier spells him at first base. With a team off day coming Monday, O'Hearn could be good to go when the Royals return to action Tuesday in Cincinnati.

Cron went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-5 win in Pittsburgh.

The 30-year-old ended a 1-for-18 slump by going 1-for-4 with two walks, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI during Friday's contest, and he delivered another productive line Saturday. Cron has a .216/.383/.522 slash line with four homer, nine runs and eight RBI though 11 games.

Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Marlins.

Alonso saw an 89-mph fastball gift-wrapped over the heart of the plate (from a lefty in Daniel Castano) and hammered it 116.9 mph off the bat, the second-highest exit velocity on a batted ball in MLB this season. It was only his second homer and Alonso is still batting just .211, but Alonso can do damage with the best of them when he does put bat to ball.

Hiura went 0-for-3 with a walk, two strikeouts and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Reds. He also committed two errors.

It's been a slow start for Hiura in the batting-average department (.213), but at least he's providing a little category juice in fantasy leagues with two homers and two steals through 12 games. He may be due for a day off soon, especially after his pair of errors in the field Saturday (one fielding, one throwing).

O'Hearn was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins with a right shin contusion, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

The 27-year-old fouled a pitch off his right shin and initially stayed in the game after being evaluated by the athletic trainer, but he was lifted following the fourth inning. O'Hearn should be considered day-to-day since the removal was considered a precautionary move.

Walker is not in the lineup Saturday against the Padres.

Walker sits for just the second time in the season's first 15 games. Jake Lamb will be the first baseman in his absence.

Voit isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays.

With the Yankees playing their second doubleheader in four games, Voit will once again sit for the afternoon game. Mike Ford will serve as the first baseman in Game 1, batting third.
