Bohm is batting seventh Tuesday night against the Dodgers.

There has been talk of Bohm possibly dropping to the eighth spot in the order following the return of Bryce Harper, but the Phillies' current RBI leader will remain at seventh for now. Harper is batting third in his season debut Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. Brandon Marsh is hitting eighth with left-hander Julio Urias on the mound for Los Angeles.

Diaz (shoulder) is back in the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz missed two games with a sore left shoulder but is back in there Tuesday following Monday's off day. He's at first base and batting leadoff against Roansy Contreras.

Cooper (illness) is out of the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cooper made an early exit from Sunday's series finale against the Cubs due to an upset stomach and he'll grab a bit more rest and treatment during Tuesday's series opener versus the reigning NL East champions. Yuli Gurriel is at first base and Jorge Soler will be the designated hitter.

Casas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Casas has now been on the bench for three of the last four games as his season-long slump continues. The Red Sox are going with Justin Turner at first base, Masataka Yoshida at designated hitter and Rob Refsnyder in left field.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Monday against the Giants.

Abreu had been moved out of the cleanup spot for a span of five games, but he has now hit fourth in each of the Astros' last two matchups. He took advantage of that opportunity Monday, as he delivered an RBI single in the first inning to give Houston the lead. Even given the positive performance, Abreu has failed to record a multi-hit game in any of his last 10 starts and has hit just .175 with four RBI, two runs scored and one extra-base hit in that span.

Wade went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-3 loss to Houston.

Wade's sixth homer of the season cut the Astros' lead to 7-3 in the eighth. He's now hit safely in six straight games, totaling six extra-base knocks and five RBI during that stretch. His recent hot stretch has upped his slash line to .260/.443/.575 through 26 games (98 plate appearances).

Alonso went 1-for-8 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored across both games of a doubleheader against Atlanta on Monday.

Alonso's lone hit of the twin bill was a big one, as he launched a three-run shot off Spencer Strider in the matinee that gave New York life after initially trailing 6-1. The homer was the 11th of the campaign for Alonso, vaulting him into a tie with Max Muncy for most in the majors. Alonso is also tied for second in MLB with 28 RBI.

The Padres optioned Dixon to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Dixon was up with the Padres for the weekend as the big club's 27th man for its two-game series with the Giants in Mexico City. He didn't appear in either contest and should now settle back into a near-everyday role with El Paso during Pacific Coast League play.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday in a 6-3 win against St. Louis.

Freeman came into the series versus the Cardinals with just one theft on the campaign, but he is now up to four after nabbing three steals over his past two contests. The sudden uptick of aggressive baserunning has put him on pace to collect double-digit steals for what would be just the third time in his lengthy career. Freeman has only nine RBI on the season, but he's doing almost everything else well, slashing .292/.377/.451 with six doubles and 21 runs scored.

Casas is back in the lineup Monday against the Blue Jays after being given consecutive days off, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Manager Alex Cora wanted to give the struggling Casas a couple days off in a row to clear his head, but the rookie is back in action Monday against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. Casas has posted a .576 OPS in 25 games this season.
