Colorado optioned Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

C.J. Cron (back) has been activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will reclaim the Rockies' everyday first base gig. Toglia, 24, carries a weak .124/.240/.217 batting line in 10 games (25 plate appearances) this season at the MLB level.

Votto is out of the lineup Monday at Baltimore.

Kevin Newman will cover first base and bat leadoff versus the Orioles and left-hander Cole Irvin. Tyler Stephenson is serving as the Reds' designated hitter and batting seventh. The left-handed-hitting Votto boasts a 1.213 OPS in 23 plate appearances since returning June 19 from offseason rotator cuff surgery, but he will probably continue to sit against certain southpaws.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

A two-run single in the third inning got the Mets on the board before Alonso took Jose Alvarado deep for a solo shot in the seventh. In seven games since making a stunning early return from a wrist injury, the first baseman has gone just 5-for-28 (.179), but four of the hits -- two doubles and two homers -- have gone for extra bases.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Giants.

Walker's first-inning double plated Ketel Marte with Arizona's first run and extended his career-best hit streak to 11 games (17-for-39, .436). The steal was his fourth, the most the 32-year-old first baseman's recorded since swiping eight bags during his breakout 2019 season.

Steer went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

Steer got the Reds on the board with an RBI double in the third inning. He's gone 10-for-40 (.250) with eight RBI and three steals over his last 11 games while continuing to see consistent playing time despite a slowdown from his performance earlier in the year. The infielder has a .274/.361/.477 slash line with 11 home runs, eight steals, 43 RBI, 40 runs scored, 19 doubles and two triples through 75 contests overall.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Reds.

Olson's sixth-inning blast put Atlanta ahead, and the visitors stayed in the lead from there. The first baseman continues to show off prodigious power with seven homers and 15 RBI over his last nine contests. He reached the 25-homer mark Sunday, a milestone he's notched in each of the last five full-length campaigns. Olson is slashing .236/.350/.541 with 60 RBI, 58 runs scored, a stolen base, 13 doubles and one triple through 77 contests.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Wade returned to the lineup the past two games after missing some time with side tightness, and he'll take a seat Sunday after going 3-for-8 with a double, a walk and two runs. J.D. Davis will move over to first base while Isan Diaz covers the hot corner.

Toglia was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The 24-year-old has spent the past month with the Isotopes and will rejoin the Rockies on Sunday after Mike Moustakas was traded to the Angels. Toglia has a .174/.240/.217 slash line in 25 major-league plate appearances this year, though he's hit well at Triple-A with an .820 OPS.

Clemens is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Clemens has one hit in his past 21 at-bats and will take a seat Sunday for the second time in Philadelphia's past three games. Alec Bohm will shift to first base while Edmundo Sosa starts at the hot corner.

Walker went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Giants.

Walker extended his hit streak to 10 games and has posted a .417/.462/.722 line with five doubles, two home runs and 10 RBI during the stretch. He's among the league leaders in doubles (22, T-11) and RBI (52, T-6).
