Flores went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and an additional run and RBI in an 8-2 win against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Flores opened the scoring with a second-inning double and tacked on a three-run shot during his next at-bat in the third. The long ball was the veteran infielder's second of the season and helped continue an impressive four-game stretch in which Flores has gone 7-for-16 with two walks, two doubles and a home run. His current .283/.333/.467 slash line is in line with his numbers from his first two seasons in San Francisco.

Rizzo went 3-for-4 with three home runs, a walk, four runs scored and six RBI in a 12-8 win Tuesday over Baltimore.

Rizzo homered off Jordan Lyles in the third and fifth innings and capped off his career night with a long ball off lefty Alexander Wells in the eighth. It was the first three-homer game of his career. The first baseman now leads all of baseball with eight home runs, half of those coming in the last two contests. With a .283/.411/.733 batting line this year, Rizzo is looking more like the player that hit .284/.388/.513 from 2014 to 2019 than the one that hit .240/.343/.432 the last two seasons.

Padlo was traded from the Mariners to the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Padlo was designated for assignment by Seattle over the weekend, and San Francisco opted to acquire him via trade rather that risk a waiver claim. The 25-year-old has a .173/.317/.327 slash line through 15 games at Triple-A this season and will provide organizational infield depth for the Giants.

Naylor is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

Naylor has started against left-handed pitching twice previously this season but won't due so Tuesday with Patrick Sandoval pitching for the Halos. Oscar Mercado will man right field for Cleveland.

Bell (hamstring) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Bell was held out of Sunday's 12-3 loss to the Giants after tweaking his right hamstring in Saturday's game, but the day out of the lineup plus Monday's off day evidently provided enough time for him to heal up from the injury. The Nationals could look to use Bell as a designated hitter at some point the next few days to get him off his feet, but he otherwise looks like he'll be in store for a full slate of at-bats during the Nationals' six-game week.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

Goldschmidt had multiple hits in just one of his first 11 games, but he's pulled out of the slump by going 9-for-17 in his last four. The first baseman hasn't homered yet this season, but he's picked up four doubles in 15 games. He sports a .259/.348/.328 slash line with five RBI. eight runs scored and a pair of stolen bases.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored Monday against the Rangers.

Gurriel helped manufacture offense for Houston in the sixth inning. He reached base with a two-out single and proceeded to steal second base before coming around to score on a Kyle Tucker single. Though Gurriel shouldn't be counted on to provide stolen bases throughout the season, he has started to heat up at the plate, collecting three doubles and three runs scored combined across his last two games.

Wade (knee) is expected to play five innings in a rehab game at Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Wade began his rehab assignment in Sacramento on Saturday and went 0-for-2 with a run and a walk. Although he isn't expected to play a full game Tuesday, he seems to be making good progress in his recovery and should be in the mix to rejoin the Giants sometime this week or during their weekend series against the Nationals.

Calhoun isn't starting Monday's game against the Astros.

Calhoun will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game since left-hander Framber Valdez is on the mound for Houston. Adolis Garcia will start in right field and bat second.

Tellez is out of the lineup for the Monday's game against the Giants.

The lefty-hitting Tellez will take a seat Monday with southpaw Sam Long on the bump for San Francisco. Short-side platoon mate Keston Hiura will fill in at first base for Tellez, who went 0-for-10 with three strikeouts during the Brewers' three-game series in Philadelphia over the weekend.
