Black is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

After getting called up from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Black sat out the Brewers' series opener versus the Dodgers but served as the designated hitter in both of the past two contests, going 0-for-6 with a walk and three strikeouts. He'll find himself on the bench for the finale, with Jake Bauers replacing Black in the lineup at DH. The Brewers could take a hot-hand approach to the DH spot while Christian Yelich (back) is on the shelf for the foreseeable future.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

Olson drew a walk in the opening frame before coming around to score on a Michael Harris grand slam. The first baseman would then add a home run of his own to lead off the third, giving him his fourth long ball this month and his 21st on the campaign. Olson has now hit safely in six consecutive games, tallying three homers, a double, eight RBI and six runs over that stretch. He's also driven in at least one run in three of his last five contests.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

Guerrero drove home Daulton Varsho with a single in the top of the third and later added a two-run homer in the ninth, marking the second game in a row in which he's gone deep. The first baseman has also registered multiple hits in four of his last seven contests and is now batting .426 in August with four homers, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored.

Bride went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Phillies on Wednesday.

Bride helped Miami get off to a promising start with a three-run homer in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the fourth, but the team's pitching couldn't contain Philadelphia's offense. Bride continues to be a bright spot for the Marlins, as he's notched at least one hit in 15 of 19 games since the All-Star break and is batting .308 (20-for-69) with five home runs and 17 RBI during that span. That has put him on the fantasy map, especially because he's moved into an everyday role since Josh Bell was traded to Arizona.

Alonso went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run double in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Athletics.

This was Alonso's first four-hit game this season. The first baseman has gone 17-for-61 (.279) with six homers and 15 RBI over his last 16 contests, though he also has an unsettling 27 strikeouts in that span. For the season, he's up to a .246/.329/.475 slash line, 26 homers, 68 RBI, 68 runs scored, 27 doubles and three stolen bases over 120 games.

Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

Cronenworth launched his 15th home run of the season, a three-run shot off Mitch Keller in the opening frame. Cronenworth now owns a six-game hitting streak and is batting .261 with two extra-base hits, seven RBI and three runs scored during that span. The 30-year-old is slashing .249/.318/.412 with 15 home runs, 70 RBI, 56 runs scored and two steals in 117 games this season.

Hoskins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Hoskins has been seeing the ball well since the beginning of August, slashing .300/.349/.500 with two homers and four RBI across 43 plate appearances. He'll get a breather against right-hander Walker Buehler while Jake Bauers covers first base and Tyler Black serves as Milwaukee's designated hitter.

France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

France will get a respite for the series finale after he went 4-for-17 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run while starting each of the last five games at either first base or designated hitter. Spencer Steer will get the nod at first base Wednesday, while Jeimer Candelario serves as the Reds' DH.

Rice is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

After going 0-for-5 with a strikeout through the first two games of the series, Rice will get a day off during Wednesday's series finale. DJ LeMahieu will step in to cover first base while batting ninth.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that he does not anticipate Casas (ribs) being activated from the 60-day injured Thursday for the start of their series in Baltimore, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Casas had previously been ruled out through the end of the team's homestand and he won't be back for the start of its road trip, either. The first baseman seems poised to return from the IL any day now, but a precise date has been difficult to nail down. Casas has been shelved since late April with a cartilage tear in his left ribcage and has gone 8-for-30 with a 10:5 K:BB in eight rehab games with Triple-A Worcester.
