Bohm went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in a 9-7 win over San Diego on Monday.

Bohm gave the Phillies an early lead with his three-run double in the first inning. He finished with three base knocks, more than he had tallied over his previous four games combined. Bohm has already reached career-best marks this season with 86 RBI and 16 homers while putting up a .282/.338/.442 slash line, 67 runs and four steals over 515 plate appearances.

Tellez is not in Monday's lineup against the Pirates.

Tellez typically sits against lefties, as he did Sunday against Ranger Suarez and the Phillies, but now he's taking a seat for the second game in a row against a righty (Luis Ortiz) -- he also sat Saturday against Aaron Nola. Carlos Santana will start at first base while William Contreras starts at designated hitter.

Walker (elbow) is starting at first base and batting cleanup Monday against the Rockies in his return to the lineup.

Walker was lifted from Saturday's game following a hit by pitch in the right elbow, but he homered off the bench Sunday and is back in the lineup Monday. The slugger will bring an even 30 home runs and 90 RBI into action Monday.

Wade is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Cubs.

The Cubs have left-hander and National League Cy Young contender Justin Steele on the mound, so Wade will begin this one on the bench. Wilmer Flores is occupying first base.

Encarnacion-Strand is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

It's Encarnacion-Strand's first day off since July 28. Nick Martini is starting at first base and Jake Fraley is in the designated hitter spot for the Reds.

Alonso went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

After going 11 consecutive games without a home run, Alonso delivered two Sunday, one off of George Kirby and the other off Trent Thornton. The first baseman is now up to 41 long balls on the season, good for the third most in baseball. He'll look to carry his hot bat into the Mets two-game series with the Nationals starting on Tuesday.

Goodman went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and three RBI on Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Goodman has drawn six starts in seven games since being called up, and he drew his first look in the outfield Sunday. He's given the Rockies no reason to take him out of the lineup, as he's gone 8-for-21 with three doubles, a triple and six RBI in his first taste of the majors. He'll head away from hitter-friendly Coors Field for the first time in a matchup Monday against Arizona, but Goodman should continue to see regular playing time to close out the season.

Steer started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 15-7 loss to the Cubs.

Steer belted the second of back-to-back home runs in the first inning to give the Reds an early lead. The homer snapped a 21-game drought for Steer, who has 19 for the season. With news that Jonathan India (foot) will begin a rehab assignment this week, Steer should serve as the primary second baseman for another handful of games. He's appeared in 10 games at the keystone already, which may be enough to qualify as a middle infielder depending on a fantasy league's rules.

Walker (elbow) went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.

Walker entered the game as a pinch hitter for Jace Peterson in the sixth inning, and he went yard in the ninth in his second at-bat after staying in at first base. Given he was able to play three innings in the field, it's unlikely Walker's elbow contusion will keep him out of the starting lineup much longer, especially since X-rays came back negative Saturday night. The first baseman's blast was his 30th of the season and his second in three September games. He's added a .271/.348/.529 slash line with 90 RBI, 71 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 133 games.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Olson went 0-for-13 with one walk and four strikeouts over the first three games of this weekend's series versus the Dodgers. He got off the schneid Sunday with a seventh-inning homer, but that was the extent of Atlanta's scoring. The first baseman is up to 44 homers -- 10 more than he had last year -- while adding 113 RBI, 104 runs scored, a stolen base, 24 doubles, three triples and a .266/.373/.581 slash line over 136 games.
