Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Nationals.

Goldschmidt has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, and he has six multi-hit efforts in that span while batting .349 (15-for-43). The first baseman's steal was his eighth of the season, surpassing his total of seven for all of 2022. He's slashing .291/.382/.500 with 13 homers, 38 RBI, 48 runs scored and 20 doubles over 72 contests -- numbers in line with his 2021 production, though they look worse compared to his 2022 MVP season.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.

It was Olson's 21st homer of the year, tying him for third most in the league, and his fourth in nine games. He's gone 10-for-37 (.270) with a .974 OPS in that span. It's been another strong season for the 29-year-old Olson -- he's slashing .327/.403/.558 with 52 RBI and 52 runs scored across 329 plate appearances.

Santana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

With the Pirates wrapping up their series with the Cubs with a day game, manager Derek Shelton likely viewed it as an ideal time to give Santana a breather. The 37-year-old had started in each of Pittsburgh's last 12 games, producing a .680 OPS during that stretch. Connor Joe will fill in for Santana at first base and serve as Pittsburgh's cleanup hitter.

Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Though he's delivered four two-hit games over his last six starts, Raley will get a chance to rest up in the series finale with Baltimore. Harold Ramirez will step in for Raley as the Rays' designated hitter.

Vaughn went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Rangers.

Vaughn has had a quiet month of June, going hitless in eight of 17 games while hitting just .190 across 58 at-bats. He's shown signs of improvement across his last two contests, however, as he slugged his 10th home run of the season Monday and collected an RBI for the second consecutive game Tuesday. Vaughn has a nearly identical line to his 2022 season by maintaining a .430 slugging percentage and .754 OPS across 306 plate appearances.

O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-6 victory over the Rays.

O'Hearn's been on quite a run while filling in for Ryan Mountcastle (illness). The 29-year-old first baseman has hits in eight straight games, going 14-for-28 with three homers and 1.426 OPS in that span. O'Hearn is now slashing an impressive .345/.383/.632 with six homers, 20 RBI and 16 runs scored through 94 plate appearances. While his .407 BABIP indicates he's due for some regression, O'Hearn has certainly made a case for a role in Baltimore, even when Mountcastle returns.

Rizzo went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Rizzo notched just his second multi-hit game since May 26 and picked up just his second and third extra-base hits since May 23. The 33-year-old has been going through a miserable slump at the plate and had just four hits in 13 games during June before Tuesday's three-hit effort. He has five RBI over his last four games but is still homerless since May 20. Rizzo is now slashing .270/.345/.441 with 11 homers, 37 RBI, 34 runs and a 21:64 BB:K over 287 plate appearances.

Harris was promoted to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Harris had a slow April for Double-A Frisco but had an .827 OPS with 11 steals over the last month for the RoughRiders. He went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and two additional runs scored in his first game with the Express.

Wade was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Padres due to right side tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade is slashing a very impressive .308/.431/.519 during the month of June, but side problems will cause him to miss Tuesday's game. The Giants will take a closer look at Wade to determine the severity of his injury, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Wade was scratched from the Giants' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus San Diego, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's unclear at the moment why Wade was taken out of Tuesday's lineup, but the Giants will likely offer an explanation relatively soon. In the meantime, David Villar will enter to play first base in Wade's place.
