Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The lefty-hitting Wade is on the bench for a second straight game while southpaw Matthew Liberatore takes the bump for St. Louis in the series opener. Wilmer Flores will pick up another start at first base in place of Wade.

Voit signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Voit was cut loose by the Brewers earlier this month after putting up a lowly .549 OPS through 74 plate appearances. He will report to Triple-A Syracuse for the time being but could get a look with the Mets before long as they deal with the loss of Pete Alonso (wrist).

O'Hearn went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and four runs scored in Sunday's 11-3 win over the Royals.

O'Hearn had a career game Sunday, which also featured his fifth multi-hit effort in his last 12 contests. The 29-year-old has found playing time at first base, designated hitter and corner outfield at times this season, and he's hitting well enough to force his way into the lineup versus most right-handed pitchers. He's up to a .328/.380/.609 slash line with four homers, 17 RBI and 10 runs scored over 71 plate appearances.

France went 3-for-3 with a double and two runs in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

France's fifth multi-hit effort in the last seven games, which included his fourth two-bagger in the last five contests, pushed his season line to an impressive .283/.353/.429 across 275 plate appearances. While he's notably off the pace of the career-high 20-homer tally he generated in 2022 -- he's left the yard just once every 55 plate appearances on average -- France already has 26 extra-base hits and is striking out at a career-low 14.9 percent clip.

Noda went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, two walks and a run in a win over the Brewers on Sunday.

Noda made his contributions to the Athletics' fifth straight win via the small-ball route while three other teammates left the yard. The busy day on the basepaths was par for the course for Noda, who pushed his on-base percentage to an outstanding .410 with what was his fifth multi-hit effort in the last eight games.

Beaty signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Monday.

He'll report to Triple-A Omaha, where he'll represent some depth at the corner infield and outfield spots. Beaty had been in the Giants organization, seeing a little action in the majors but spending most of the season at the Triple-A level.

Walker went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Tigers.

Down to his final strike in the ninth inning, Walker ripped his second double of the game, driving in two to give Arizona a 6-5 lead. The 32-year-old Walker is off to a nice start in June, batting .313 (10-for-32) with an .830 OPS through eight games. Overall, Walker is slashing .252/.315/.474 with 12 homers. 38 RBI and 37 runs scored through 257 plate appearances this season.

Cooper went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

His eighth-inning blast to straightaway center field in the eighth inning off Keynan Middleton helped the Marlins rally from a 5-1 deficit. Cooper has seven homers on the season, including two in his last five starts as he looks to shake off a rough May that saw him slash .175/.217/.333 in 60 plate appearances with 20 strikeouts.

Bell went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, one double and two additional runs scored in Sunday's victory over the Astros.

Bell clubbed his fifth homer of the season, taking Brandon Bielak yard to lead off the fourth inning. He had Bielak's number Sunday, accruing all three of his hits against Bielak while accounting for three of Cleveland's five runs. After undergoing a 25-game home run drought, Bell has hit two long balls in his last eight appearances and owns a .236/.332/.375 slash line in 2023.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Sunday against the Rangers.

Diaz was briefly sidelined with a hip injury and missed the majority of the Rays' series against the Twins as a result. He was able to return and start all three weekend games against the Rangers and went 3-for-12 with no extra-base hits. Diaz has just a .593 OPS across his last 10 games, though he is still in the midst of a breakout season with 12 home runs across 238 plate appearances.
