Olson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Mariners.

All four of Atlanta's runs in the game came on solo shots, with Olson launching his off Logan Gilbert in the sixth inning. It was Olson's fifth long ball in the last eight games, and on the season the veteran first baseman leads the National League in homers (12) and RBI (32) to go along with a .300/.383/.664 slash line in 36 contests.

Eldridge will start at designated hitter and bat seventh Monday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

After being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, Eldridge will immediately slide into the starting nine for the series opener, handling the DH spot while Casey Schmitt mans third base in place of a resting Matt Chapman. Eldridge produced a .963 OPS in 137 plate appearances in the minors this season, and he'll look for better results in his second stint in the majors after logging a .476 OPS in 37 plate appearances with the Giants late in the 2025 campaign.

The Giants recalled Eldridge from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

As expected, the 21-year-old Eldridge will join the Giants for the start of their six-game homestand Monday. He was unable to make the team's Opening Day roster, but a return to the majors seemed inevitable after he dominated at the plate in Triple-A with a .333/.445/.518 slash line with five home runs and 22 RBI in 137 plate appearances. Eldridge will look to do better in his second stint in the majors after going 3-for-28 (.107) with four RBI and 13 strikeouts across 10 regular-season games in 2025.

The Brewers reinstated Vaughn (hand) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's game in St. Louis.

Vaughn will be available to play for the Brewers for the first time since Opening Day, when he made an early exit from Milwaukee's 14-2 win over the White Sox after fracturing the hamate bone in left hand when he was hit by a pitch. He underwent surgery days later and was held out of action for about a month before completing a three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville last week. Now that he's back from the IL, Vaughn will likely settle back into a near-everyday role while moving between DH and first base.

Freeman went 2-for-5 with a double and RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals.

Freeman singled home a run in the fifth inning and hit his eighth double of the season in the eighth. Freeman had hits in all three games of the weekend set in St. Louis, going 5-for-13 at the dish. He's hit safely in five of his last six contests and is slashing .271/.333/.419 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored and an 11:17 BB:K across 141 plate appearances on the season.

Eldridge is expected to be called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Eldridge will join the Giants ahead of the team's six-game homestand beginning Monday against the Padres. The 21-year-old has been lights-out at the Triple-A level this season, batting .333 with five home runs, 22 RBI and 25 runs scored over 114 at-bats in 30 games with Sacramento. Eldridge struggled in limited action with San Francisco last season, going 3-for-28 with two doubles, seven walks, four RBI and a run scored while striking out 13 times over 10 contests. He'll look to get off to a better start in his second go-around with the big-league club.

Vaughn (hand) remains on track to return from the 10-day injured list Monday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Vaughn is nearing the finish line in his recovery from the left hand fracture that has kept him on the shelf since March 28. He's already appeared in three rehab games for Triple-A Nashville, playing a full nine innings on one occasion while going 2-for-11 with a double and a walk. Jake Bauers has been serving as the Brewers' everyday first baseman while Vaughn has been on the IL, but Milwaukee could find playing time for both by using Bauers at designated hitter or in the corner outfield once Vaughn is activated.

Santana (thigh) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Santana has been sidelined since April 5 due to a right adductor strain. He was struggling badly at the plate early in the season, going 2-for-24 with a double, one run scored and 2:8 BB:K across 26 plate appearances prior to the injury.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, three runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 17-7 win over the Reds.

The Pirates offense delivered a dominant and balanced performance that saw them hit seven extra-base hits but zero homers, while all nine members of the starting lineup recorded at least one RBI, with O'Hearn's six combined runs and RBI tying Marcell Ozuna for the team lead. O'Hearn has three multi-hit performances in the last nine games, and on the season he's slashing .316/.401/.487 with five homers, 20 runs and 24 RBI in 32 contests.

Olson went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Rockies.

The first baseman took Jose Quintana deep in the fourth inning to get Atlanta on the board and spark a comeback from an early 6-0 deficit. It was Olson's 10th homer of the season, one back of National League leader Kyle Schwarber, and five of them have come in the last 11 games -- a stretch in which he's slashing .333/.388/.762 with 11 runs and 13 RBI.
