MLB Player News

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

It appears to be a routine day off for the first baseman after he posted a three-hit performance Monday. Matt Carpenter will enter the lineup and bat sixth.

Diaz went 3-for-5 in an extra-inning win over the Red Sox on Monday.

Several of his teammates had more impactful hits, but Diaz still enjoyed a productive day with his fifth multi-hit effort in the last 14 games. That stretch has represented a timely late-season surge for Diaz, whose .333/.396/.458 slash line during that span is partly constituted of three doubles and a home run across 53 plate appearances.

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Monday's 11-2 win over the Mariners.

Monday's game was Gurriel's first this season with three runs scored. The 37-year-old notched a pair of base hits and a walk and came around to score each time. Gurriel has been scorching hot at the plate since late August, as he's slashing .371/.458/.532 with two homers, six RBI, 13 runs scored and 10:11 BB:K over his last 16 games.

Solano (Illness) could be activated from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of the Giants' three-game road series versus the Cubs that begins Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Solano wasn't able to join the Giants in Colorado for their three-game series in Colorado that began Monday, but he was cleared to return to the team facility in San Francisco after completing a quarantine period. Assuming he fares well during his workouts the next few days, Solano could rejoin the Giants this weekend. Solano will likely serve as a short-side platoon mate at second base for Tommy La Stella once he's reinstated.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.

All three of the first baseman's hits were singles, and he accounted for half of the hits St. Louis recorded in the game. Goldschmidt has gone a bit quiet in run production, as he's gone five straight games without an RBI. For the year, he's slashing a hearty .286/.355/.485 with 24 home runs, 82 RBI, 76 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 578 plate appearances.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-0 win over the Yankees.

His first-inning blast off Jameson Taillon made history in a couple different ways. At 22 years old, Guerrero became the youngest player in Blue Jays history to slug 40 homers in a season, and with his Hall of Fame dad and namesake, he's also now part of one of the only two father-son duos in MLB history to each record 40-homer campaigns (Cecil and Prince Fielder being the others). Guerrero also extended his hitting streak to 14 games with the performance, a stretch during which he's batting a blistering .414 (24-for-58) with four home runs, nine RBI and 12 runs.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.

His sixth-inning solo shot off Patrick Corbin gave the Mets a 3-2 lead, but unfortunately for his club, Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth. Alonso extended his hitting streak to six games with the performance, and over his last 24 contests he's batting .337 (32-for-95) with six of his 30 homers on the year as he tries to keep New York in the playoff picture.

France went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs in an extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

France crossed the plate in the fourth and 11th innings in the marathon victory. The 27-year-old has reached safely in seven of the last eight games, pushing his on-base percentage to an elite .363 across 127 games.

Bohm (wrist) is slated to visit with a doctor to determine the extent of his injury, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Bohm hasn't appeared in any games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley since Aug. 29 due to a sore left wrist. Although he's been able to participate in on-field work during pregame drills, he hasn't made as much progress in his recovery as the team had hoped. A better idea of the 25-year-old's status will likely be revealed following his visit with a doctor.

Wade isn't starting Monday's game against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wade went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run and a stolen base across the last two games but will head to the bench with left-hander Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies. Kris Bryant will shift to left field while Mauricio Dubon enters the lineup in center.
