Wade isn't in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Reds, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

With lefty Brandon Williamson set to start on the mound for Cincinnati, Wade will retreat to the bench Tuesday. J.D. Davis will fill in at first base while Casey Schmitt gets the nod at third.

Beaty is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Beaty started the past five games but will take a seat Tuesday after he went 3-for-12 with two walks and two runs during that stretch. Salvador Perez will rest his legs at first base while Freddy Fermin steps in behind the plate.

Kirilloff (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Kirilloff and Byron Buxton (hamstring) will both be making their first rehab appearances Wednesday and figure to return early in September. Kirilloff was slashing .259/.305/.593 since the All-Star break when he landed on the injured list July 30.

Tellez is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

Mark Canha will play first base and William Contreras will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter as they take on left-hander Justin Steele. The left-handed-hitting Tellez has slashed just .175/.267/.250 in 45 plate appearances versus southpaws this year.

Santana (ankle) is out of the lineup again Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Santana sprained his ankle in Sunday's series finale against the Padres and remains day-to-day. Mark Canha will start at first base and bat third for the NL Central-leading Brewers on Tuesday as they look to notch their 10th straight victory.

Diaz (forearm) is starting at first base and batting leadoff Tuesday at Miami.

Diaz sat out the past two games due to soreness in his left forearm from a hit-by-pitch, but he'll return to the field Tuesday after Monday's team off day. The 32-year-old has carried a hot bat through 21 games in August with a .359/.410/.522 slash line, three homers, 15 RBI and 16 runs.

The Blue Jays are open to using Guerrero at third base late in games following the injury to Matt Chapman (finger), Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The team doesn't plan to give Guerrero any starts at the hot corner, but he could be used there on occasion should late-game substitutions dictate it. Guerrero, who hasn't played more than two innings at third base in a season since 2019, has begun taking grounders there pregame. For fantasy purposes, there might be an outside shot that he gains eligibility there, depending on individual league specifications. Davis Schneider started at third base on Monday in the Jays' first game without Chapman, who is without a return timetable as he nurses a sprained right middle finger.

France went 2-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

France had been mired in a brief 3-for-17 funk coming into Monday, so his three trips on the basepaths were an especially welcome sight. The veteran infielder has still put together a productive August despite the recent skid, as he's now sporting a .284 average, .877 OPS, nine extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 12 walks and 11 runs over 25 games during the month, getting on base another nine times while being hit by pitches.

Goodman went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Monday against Atlanta.

Goodman was called up Sunday and has made a pair of starts at first base since. He's experienced quick success by collecting four hits across eight at-bats while also driving in two runs and scoring once. While clearly a small sample, Goodman did boast prolific production between Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque earlier in the campaign by tallying 34 homers across 467 plate appearances.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and two walks Monday against the Red Sox.

Abreu got the scoring started for Houston with a solo homer off Chris Sale in the second inning -- his first since being activated from the injured list Aug. 23. He's produced plenty in the four games since, going 5-for-17 with five RBI and two runs scored. Abreu's increased production has stretched a bit further, as he has four home runs, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored in 27 games since the All-Star break.
