Flores went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two additional RBI in Tuesday's loss against the Angels.

Flores accounted for four of the Giants' five runs Tuesday, plating Luis Matos and LaMonte Wade on a third-inning single and swatting a two-run homer off Dominic Leone in the eighth. The outing marked Flores' fourth multi-hit effort in his last five games, while the long ball was his fifth in his last 18 appearances. Over that 18-game stretch, Flores is 27-for-67 (.403) with 15 RBI and 12 runs scored while striking out at a 13.3 percent clip.

Solano was removed from Tuesday's game against Detroit with a right knee sprain, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.

Solano appeared to jam his right ankle after making an awkward slide back into first base, but the issue is now confirmed to be in his knee. There's no word yet on how severe Solano's injury is, but more information will likely come in the near future. For now, he should be considered day-to-day.

Bohm isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against Washington.

Bohm went 1-for-4 with a home run during Game 1 of Tuesday's action and will take a seat for the nightcap. Rodolfo Castro will start at the hot corner in Bohm's place and bat sixth.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

After a 3-for-4 performance during Game 1 of Tuesday's action, Smith will catch a breather for the second game. Joey Meneses will fill in at first base, moving Keibert Ruiz into the DH spot and Riley Adams in behind the dish while batting fifth.

Santana isn't starting Tuesday against Colorado due to illness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Santana is slashing .167/.205/.310 with two homers and three RBI across 10 games as a Brewer. He'll be considered day-to-day as he fights off his illness, and Mark Canha will step in as Milwaukee's first baseman Tuesday.

The Astros selected Singleton's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Singleton had slashed .333/.446/.692 with 12 home runs and 28 RBI through 33 games this summer for Sugar Land. He is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Orioles and could struggle to carve out regular playing time, but the 31-year-old should be a useful bat off the bench. He last appeared in a major-league game for the Astros way back in 2015, but he did suit up for 11 games with the Brewers earlier this season and produced a .103/.188/.138 slash line across 32 plate appearances over 11 games.

Votto is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand will start at first base and bat seventh with the Marlins throwing left-hander Braxton Garrett. Kevin Newman is serving as the Reds' designated hitter and batting fifth. Votto will grab some rest after hitting his second homer in as many days in Monday's series opener versus Miami.

San Diego optioned Batten to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Batten slashed .261/.320/.391 over 13 games (25 plate appearances) during his four-week stay on the Padres' major-league roster. Jose Azocar has been called up in a corresponding move.

Votto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 win over Miami.

Votto launched his second home run in as many games. It was the second of back-to-back shots to lead off the fourth inning. The slugging first baseman's last four hits have all been home runs and nearly half his knocks this season -- 13 of 27 -- have left ballparks.

Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-1 win against the Yankees.

Vaughn gave Chicago an early lead with a two-run shot off Gerrit Cole in the second inning, and the Yankees never managed to catch up. The long ball extended Vaughn's modest hitting streak to five games, during which he has slashed .412/.412/.824 with a pair of homers and three RBI. The first baseman is up to 15 home runs on the campaign, two shy of the career-high mark he set last season.
