Bohm went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and three runs scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Pirates.

Bohm doubled and scored in the first inning and crossed home again in the fifth. He then capped off his huge day with a solo shot off of Dillon Peters in the sixth. The hot-hitting infielder went 33-for-76 (.434) with 15 runs scored and eight extra-base hits in 20 games this month. Bohm boosted his season slash line to .299/.331/.415 through 94 games.

Beaty (shoulder) resumed his rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday and has gone 2-for-11 with a walk and two runs while playing in games four of the past five days.

Beaty, who has been on the Padres' injured list since early May with a left shoulder impingement, is in the midst of his third separate rehab assignment following a recent two-and-a-half-week hiatus. Whenever he's finally activated from the 60-day IL, Beaty will likely handle a limited role off San Diego's bench.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with an RBI double in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rockies.

Freeman has notched nine multi-hit efforts in his last 17 games, including four contests with three or more knocks. His double Sunday provided the Dodgers with an insurance run in the seventh inning. The star first baseman is up to a .325/.402/.538 slash line with 15 home runs, 66 RBI, 70 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 35 doubles and two triples in 101 contests.

Gurriel went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Gurriel has two steals, three doubles and three multi-hit efforts during his five-game hitting streak. His theft Sunday came as part of a double-steal that saw Jose Altuve dart home for the game's first run. Gurriel has picked up four of his seven steals this season in his last 10 games. He's slashing .243/.293/.392 with seven home runs, 28 RBI, 36 runs scored and 30 doubles through 94 contests.

France (wrist) isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list after he underwent an MRI that revealed no structural damage, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

France sat out Sunday against the Astros due to a sore left wrist, and the 28-year-old is expected to require a couple of days to recover before returning to game action. While it's not yet clear exactly when he'll be back in the lineup, manager Scott Servais hopes that France will be able to return at some point during the Mariners' upcoming series against the Yankees.

Flores is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Flores' move to the bench ends a stretch of 12 consecutive starts for the 30-year-old. Tommy La Stella will step in at second base in place of Flores, who should continue to have a regular spot in the middle infield while both Thairo Estrada (concussion) and Brandon Crawford (knee) are on the injured list.

The Cubs optioned Rivas to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

He'll surrender his spot on the 26-man active roster to utility man Zach McKinstry, whom the Cubs acquired from the Dodgers on Saturday. Rivas had been serving as the Cubs' primary starting first baseman against right-handed pitching since the middle of June, but he's turned in an unremarkable .232/.313/.316 slash line across 201 plate appearances with the big club. His demotion should pave the way for Frank Schwindel to see most of the reps at the position.

Kirilloff (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

After exiting Saturday's 7-4 win with right wrist soreness, Kirilloff will need at least one day off to heal up. Considering that Kirilloff underwent surgery on that same wrist last season and spent nearly three weeks on the injured list earlier in the season due to inflammation of the wrist, it's somewhat troubling that he's hampered by it again. For now, consider Kirilloff day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener with the Tigers.

Mountcastle (undisclosed) is starting at first base and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde withheld Mountcastle from the lineup for Saturday's 8-2 loss due to the 25-year-old being "banged up," but Mountcastle evidently feels well enough to return to the field Saturday. Since the All-Star break, Mountcastle has started in eight games while going 2-for-31 (.065 average).

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Guardians.

Diaz's fifth-inning long ball off Zach Plesac -- his fifth of the season -- held up as the difference as Tampa Bay ended a two-game losing streak. The 30-year-old, who is batting .281 in six games since the All-Star break, will start at third base and bat second in Sunday's series finale.
