Hiura went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over the Reds.

The long ball was the second of the season for Hiura, who is hitting better and walking more than he did last season but has also struck out in nearly half of his 42 PA. He has started 12 games this season, and with the Brewers healthy, he figures to continue working in a part-time role.

Dalbec started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Thursday's 8-0 loss to the Angels.

Dalbec was recently demoted to a platoon role at first base, sitting against right-handers while Franchy Cordero mans the position, but Cordero was needed in the outfield to help cover for the ailing Enrique Hernandez (illness). As a result, Dalbec was in the lineup against the Angels' Shohei Ohtani, and his second-inning single snapped an 0-for-16 run. Either against righties (.462 OPS) or lefties (.349), Dalbec has not been good so far in 2022.

Guerrero went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Thursday against the Guardians.

Guerrero took Aaron Civale yard in the first inning to record his seventh home run of the season. He has gone yard only twice in his last 18 starts, and he has just five extra-base hits in that span. Despite the slow stretch, Guerrero still has an impressive .290/.364/.559 line on the season to go along with 14 runs scored and 19 RBI across 107 plate appearances.

Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in a 5-3 win Thursday over Minnesota.

Mountcastle got the scoring started with his solo homer in the second inning and gave Baltimore an insurance run with his eighth-inning shot. After a slow start, he appears to be putting it together with a .296/.321/.667 batting line and three home runs in his last seven games. The 25-year-old was dropped to fifth in the Orioles' lineup Wednesday and has responded with back-to-back multi-hit games.

Voit (biceps) is expected to need a one-week rehab stint with Triple-A El Paso, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Voit reportedly feels fully healthy, but he is remaining on his rehab stint to fully find his swing prior to returning to San Diego. He has made two appearances with El Paso, collecting no hits through six at-bats while striking out twice. Given the new timeline, Voit will likely be back with the big-league club at some point during the series with the Cubs that begins Monday.

Pratto (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Omaha on Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

There was no specific reason reported for Pratto landing on the injured list, though he was hit in the head by a pitch Wednesday and immediately removed from the game. The timing of the incident is unfortunate, as Pratto was in the midst of a four-game hitting streak while going for 8-for-16 with a double and two home runs. Assuming the injury isn't a long-term concern, Pratto should have the chance to make his big-league debut this season.

Wade (knee) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

There was a chance for Wade to make his season debut Thursday, but he experienced soreness in his knee, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The renewed soreness isn't believed to be a serious issue. Wade participated in seven games with Triple-A Sacramento while on a rehab assignment, and he collected five hits in 21 at-bats. He should return to the large side of a platoon in left field, sharing at-bats with Darin Ruf and Austin Slater.

Padlo was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Padlo was recalled by the Giants to make his debut with the team Tuesday. He started each of the last two games at third base while hitting seventh and collected one hit in five at-bats. Padlo will continue to serve as organizational depth at both corner infield positions, though the impending return of Evan Longoria (finger) complicates his potential to make an impact with the big-league club moving forward.

Beaty isn't starting Thursday's game against the Marlins.

Beaty has gone 1-for-18 with three runs, two walks and a strikeout over his last six games, and he'll take a seat with left-hander Jesus Luzardo on the mound for the Marlins. Trayce Thompson will start in right field and bat ninth.

Voit (biceps) has gone 0-for-6 with two walks, two strikeouts and a run in two rehab games with Triple-A El Paso.

Voit has worked a walk in both of his minor-league games thus far, which is far from surprising given his 19.2 percent walk rate this season before he hit the injured list. The slugger appears close to returning to the big club and could be back during San Diego's weekend series against the Marlins.
