Cooper is out of the lineup Thursday afternoon at Colorado.

Cooper went 0-for-5 with a strikeout Wednesday and is slashing just .233/.275/.376 in 142 plate appearances for the year. Yuli Gurriel will play first base Thursday and Jorge Soler will serve as the Marlins' designated hitter.

Bohm went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Bohm got the Phillies on the board with a two-out RBI single off Kevin Ginkel in the sixth inning before ending the game with a walk-off base hit off Jose Ruiz in the 10th. It's Bohm's first multi-hit game since May 15 -- he'd gone 4-for-26 over his last seven contests. Overall, the 26-year-old has been solid this season, slashing .264/.320/.390 with five home runs and 35 RBI through 200 plate appearances, and he's taken over as the Phillies' regular first baseman with Rhys Hoskins (knee) out for the year.

Goldschmidt is absent from the lineup Thursday in Cincinnati, 101 ESPN St. Louis reports.

Goldschmidt had served as the designated hitter the previous two days and now is out of the lineup entirely for Thursday's series finale. The Cardinals are resting several regulars for the afternoon tilt.

Steer went 4-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Cardinals.

All four knocks were singles, but Steer still paced a Cincy attack that stung St. Louis pitching for a season-high 18 hits. The 25-year-old extended his hitting streak to seven games with the performance, and through 21 contests in May he's slashing .294/.355/.506 with four homers, 12 runs and 13 RBI.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 win against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Olson broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a moonshot to right field that traveled an estimated 456 feet. It was his sixth hit over his past six games, all of which have gone for extra bases (three doubles, three homers). Olson is up to 14 long balls on the campaign, tied for third-most in the majors.

Gurriel went 4-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Rockies.

Gurriel delivered a two-out single in the fourth to drive home the Marlins' first run of the game. He followed that with a triple in the sixth inning. Gurriel has eight hits in the last three games, but just one of those went for extra bases. Gurriel's power disappeared last season and hasn't returned in 2023. However, his average is creeping back up and sits at .291. Gurriel also picked up his second steal of the season thanks to a rundown gone wrong for the Rockies.

Dixon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Dixon will retreat to the bench after he had manned first base in three of the Padres' last four games, with all of his starts coming against left-handed pitching. The 31-year-old looks like he could handle a short-side platoon role for the Padres while Manny Machado (hand) is on the 10-day injured list.

Cronenworth went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and three walks against the Nationals in a 7-4 win Tuesday.

Cronenworth reached four base four times in the victory, the third time this season he's accomplished that feat. The 29-year-old gave San Diego some breathing room and capped the team's scoring with a two-run shot in the seventh inning. Despite the excellent effort Tuesday, Cronenworth has been slumping of late, slashing .143/.354/.306 with a 26.2 percent strikeout rate over his past 15 games.

Dixon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday in a 7-4 win over Washington.

Dixon got the start at first base and swatted a 403-foot solo homer to center field in the fourth inning. It was his first long ball in eight games this season and his first major-league home run since he played with Detroit in 2019. Dixon went deep 15 times that year but spent most of the following two seasons in Japan before logging most of his time last year in San Diego's minor-league system. He's smacked 30 homers over his last 76 contests between Double-A and Triple A across two seasons, but his playing time in the majors has been limited and doesn't figure to increase significantly given the Padres' loaded roster.

Toglia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Mike Moustakas will step in at first base after Toglia had started at the position in five of the Rockies' previous seven games. The 24-year-old switch hitter is slashing .150/.190/.200 over 21 plate appearances with the big club this season, so he wouldn't seem to have much leash atop the depth chart while the Rockies continue to play without C.J. Cron (back).
