Flores went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.

Flores gave the Giants a 2-1 lead in the first inning with his homer, and he added a pair of singles for his second three-hit game in his last four contests. The infielder has also homered thrice in his last eight games as he continues to be a steady force in the heart of the lineup. The 30-year-old is up to a .266/.330/.446 slash line with seven long balls, 33 RBI, 30 runs scored and 12 doubles through 206 plate appearances.

Bohm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's victory over the Brewers.

Bohm took Josh Hader deep for a solo homer to open the top of the ninth inning, tying the game at 2-2. The long ball was his fourth of the year and first in his last 15 games. After a 1-for-28 cold spell in his previous seven games, Bohm has gone 4-for-8 with a homer and two runs in his last two contests. The third baseman owns a .262 average with four homers, 20 RBI, 27 runs and stolen base over 191 at-bats in 53 games this season.

Alonso had X-rays on his right hand come back negative after leaving Tuesday's game against the Padres, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The 27-year-old was struck in the right hand by a pitch during the first inning Tuesday, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury, though he's also undergoing an MRI, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Alonso could still need some time to recover from the issue, so it's unclear whether he'll be back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.

Alonso was removed from Tuesday's game against San Diego after being hit by a pitch on his right hand, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alonso was struck in the right hand on a check swing during his first plate appearance Tuesday, and he was replaced by a pinch runner. The 27-year-old is likely to undergo X-rays and should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Wade (knee) received the final synthetic lubricant injection in his left knee Tuesday and will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Sacramento, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Wade resumed baseball activities last week and is now entering the final stages of his rehab program after completing the series of synthetic lubricant injections. The 28-year-old has been sidelined nearly three weeks with left knee inflammation, and he also missed the first month of the season while dealing with issues in the same knee.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

Calhoun went 1-for-4 with an RBI during the matinee and will head to the bench for Game 2 with lefty Kirk McCarty pitching for the Guardians. Charlie Culberson, Eli White and Adolis Garcia will start from left to right in the outfield.

Montero was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and is starting at third base against the Giants on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old went 2-for-4 during his big-league debut in early May while briefly up with the Rockies, and he'll rejoin the major-league club ahead of Tuesday's contest. Montero was promoted to the Triple-A level during the 2021 campaign and has a .301/.374/.528 slash line with 17 home runs and 51 RBI in 76 games between the two seasons. Ryan McMahon should remain Colorado's primary third baseman, but Montero should see some time there while also receiving some at-bats at designated hitter.

Rivas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Rivas is on the bench for the fifth time in six games after producing a lowly .455 OPS dating back to May 1. Frank Schwindel has since recaptured the Cubs' primary first-base job, and the Cubs are likely content to rotate a number of different players at the designated-hitter spot rather than clearing out everyday at-bats for the struggling Rivas.

Diaz will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz starts after starting six straight games at third base, a stretch in which he went 8-for-16 with nine walks. Isaac Paredes will fill that spot Tuesday.

Steer crushed three home runs Sunday for Triple-A St. Paul, giving him a .255/.349/.636 batting line since being promoted.

He also homered Saturday, so that's four in two days for the rising infield prospect. Steer offers a fantasy-friendly combination of power and versatility, having hit 14 homers already this year while making appearances at second, third and short. He also has a trim strikeout rate (14.7 percent in Double-A, 17.5 percent since the promotion), which is promising. He didn't come into this season with much helium, but with solid abilities across the board and the potential for multi-position eligibility, he could be a useful fantasy Swiss Army knife once he eventually gets the call to Minnesota.
