Cron went 0-for-3 on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Cron returned from a six-week absence caused by back spasms. He served as the designated hitter and hit fifth while Elehuris Montero stuck in the lineup at first base. Lefty Clayton Kershaw was on the mound, pushing Nolan Jones to the bench, though he is likely to swap places with Montero when facing righties.

Cooper went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

The first baseman played a big role in the Marlins' 10-run, 19-hit eruption. Cooper has hit safely in six straight games, and over his last 16 contests the 32-year-old is slashing .322/.365/.525 with three doubles, three homers, five runs and 12 RBI.

Alonso went 0-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

The slugger made the most of a hit by pitch in the sixth inning, swiping second base and then coming home on a Tommy Pham double. Alonso isn't known for his exploits on the basepaths, but he's 3-for-3 on steal attempts this season and 11-for-12 since 2021. Since returning from a wrist injury June 18, he's gone just 5-for-35 (.143) at the plate, but four of the hits (two doubles and two homers) have gone for extra bases.

Santana went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over San Diego.

Santana put the Pirates ahead 4-3 with a home run off Reiss Knehr to lead off the third inning, his seventh of the season. Santana would drive in a second run with an RBI single in the sixth. It's the first multi-hit game since June 17 for the veteran first baseman -- he'd gone 4-for-27 (.148) over his previous seven contests. Overall, Santana is slashing .233/.316/.380 with 39 RBI, 32 runs scored and six stolen bases through 294 plate appearances this season.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Rays.

Walker went back-to-back with Corbin Carroll in the first inning as the Diamondbacks enjoyed a hot start. During Walker's 11-game hitting streak, he's gone 18-for-43 (.419) with three homers, six doubles and 12 RBI. The first baseman is enjoying one of the best stretches of his career, which has him up to a .281/.345/.528 slash line with 16 homers, 54 RBI, 43 runs scored and four stolen bases over 76 contests overall.

The Giants reinstated Flores (foot) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

San Francisco sent infielder Isan Diaz back to Triple-A Sacramento to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Flores, who spent the minimum amount of time on the shelf due to the left foot contusion. Now that he's healthy again, Flores should step back into a short-side platoon role in the Giants infield.

The Cubs selected Young from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Young has been outstanding in Triple-A this season, slashing .333/.431/.619 with 13 homers and 45 RBI through 205 plate appearances. He's recorded a hit in all but three of his games since the start of June and will now look to carry his momentum into the majors. With the Cubs searching for answers at first base, it's possible Young sees a good amount of playing time early on.

Tellez isn't in the Brewers' lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Tellez has been in a major slump lately, slashing just .167/.207/.231 since the beginning of June. He'll retreat to the bench against lefty David Peterson, shifting Owen Miller to first base, Luis Urias to second, Brian Anderson to third and opening a spot for Blake Perkins to start in right field while batting leadoff.

Cronenworth isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday versus Pittsburgh.

Cronenworth is slashing just .188/.245/.229 over the past 14 days, so he'll get a rare day off Tuesday to regroup. Brandon Dixon will take Cronenworth's place at first base and bat eighth.

Steer went 3-for-3 with a walk, a solo homer and two additional RBI in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

The Reds offense fell flat Monday, but Steer was the lone bright spot, as he notched his sixth three-hit game of the season and drove in all three of Cincinnati's runs. Over his past nine games, Steer is slashing .344/.462/.688 with three home runs, nine RBI, two stolen bases and five runs scored. His current hot streak has bumped his season slash line up to .282/.368/.493, and the 25-year-old is quickly emerging as a quality offensive threat in the big leagues.
