Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies.

Walker launched his second homer in as many games and has eight hits (four extra-base hits) in the last 18 at-bats. The first baseman, who launched 29 home runs over 152 games last season, has just three over 30 games in 2020. He's one of several Diamondback hitters whose power stroke has fallen off. Arizona ranks 26th in MLB with 26 home runs.

Votto went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts before he was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Votto wore the Golden Sombrero, was none too happy about it and let the home-plate umpire know. He had a point about a few of those called strikes and did not do anything that would warrant further discipline. The soon-to-be 37-year-old has been in a bad way at the plate going back several weeks now; Votto is 8-for-56 (.142 average) in his last 16 games.

O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

O'Hearn has struggled to generate run production, especially lately. He entered Tuesday with one hit, two RBI and zero runs scored in his last 18 at-bats (seven games). O'Hearn ceded a start at first base to Hunter Dozier last weekend, but the Royals clearly have not lost all patience, so expect to continue seeing O'Hearn in the heart of the order against right-handed pitching.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Rangers.

Olson gave the Athletics a lead they never relinquished with his blast in the fourth inning. The first baseman is up to 10 homers, 22 RBI and 20 runs scored despite batting just .175 through 31 games. Fantasy managers that can weather his low average will want to take advantage of his powerful bat -- he'd be on pace for a 50-homer campaign in a full season.

Shaw joined the Giants' 60-man player pool, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

This apparently comes directly from Shaw's personal Instagram account. He was surprisingly left off the original 60-man roster, so we at least know now that he is healthy and still has a chance to carve out a role with the Giants going forward.

Naylor is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mariners.

With the Padres facing southpaw Marco Gonzales, the righty-hitting Ty France will get the start at designated hitter. Naylor has not started against a single left-handed pitcher this season.

Walker went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Walker's fourth inning homer briefly tied the game at two, but that would be it for the Diamondbacks' offense Monday. The first baseman is up to two homers, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored in 29 games. He's slashing .287/.347/.454 across 118 plate appearances.

Calhoun went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Calhoun went deep in the third inning to get the Diamondbacks on the board. The 32-year-old hasn't hit well overall, with a .228 batting average, but his .515 slugging percentage would be the highest of his nine-year career if he can sustain it all season. He's up to eight homers, 19 RBI and 17 runs scored in 28 games.

Goldschmidt went 3-for4 with a two-run home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 9-3 win over the Royals.

Goldschmidt drove Tommy Edman in with an infield single in the fifth and added his third homer of the season in the sixth. The first baseman's batting average is up to .368 and his .507 on-base percentage is tops in the majors.

Santana went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Monday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota.

Santana singled three times, including his RBI single in the seventh inning. For the season, he still owns a pedestrian .208./389/.323 slash line.
