Steer (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Steer will remain on the bench for the third consecutive game while he manages a sore right knee/quadricep. Kevin Newman will fill in for Steer at the hot corner in the series finale.

Montero is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Pirates.

The 24-year-old will take a seat after making two errors at third base in Monday's blowout loss versus Pittsburgh, and manager Bud Black said he plans to "readdress" the position defensively, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. It remains to be seen exactly how Montero's role changes, but a move back to the minors doesn't appear out of the question. Ryan McMahon is handling the hot corner Tuesday with Alan Trejo covering second base.

Beaty was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Brett Wisely is getting the call in a corresponding roster move. Beaty has gone 1-for-5 with zero walks and two strikeouts in a couple different stints with the Giants this year.

Steer (quad/knee) remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Steer also sat out Monday after experiencing some discomfort in his right knee and quad in Sunday's series finale against the Phillies. Nick Senzel will play third base and bat eighth for the Reds on Tuesday night versus Tampa Bay.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Monday's victory over the Mariners.

Voit recorded just two hits over his first 16 at-bats of the season, but he has picked up the pace, going 7-for-17 (.412) over the last four games he appeared in. He is still searching for the power, though, as his double Monday was his first extra-base hit of the season.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in an 8-6 loss to the Mets on Monday.

Freeman powered Los Angeles' offense one day after striking out four times against the Cubs. The star first baseman came into the contest on an uncharacteristic cold streak, as he was batting just .143 (4-for-28) with no extra-base hits and nine strikeouts over his previous seven games. Freeman emerged in a big way with a solo home run off David Peterson in the first inning and a game-tying two-run shot off Peterson in the fifth. He's slashing .328/.416/.522 through 77 plate appearances on the campaign, though he's knocked in just six runs including Monday's outburst.

Flores went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Flores has logged a pair of three-hit efforts over his last four games, and he's hit safely in five of his last six contests. The versatile infielder has enjoyed a run of playing time at first base with the Giants facing southpaws in four of their last six games. For the season, Flores is slashing .317/.364/.512 with two home runs, six RBI, seven runs scored and two doubles over 44 plate appearances.

Dixon was recalled from Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Monday.

Dixon is recalled just a day after being sent down to Triple-A El Paso to replace Luis Campusano after Campusano was placed on the injured list with a thumb sprain. Dixon is starting in right against Atlanta on Monday, but his stay in the majors could be short with Fernando Tatis coming off the suspended list Thursday.

Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

For the fifth time in seven games, the lefty-hitting Wade finds himself on the bench while the Giants face yet another southpaw pitcher. Wilmer Flores will occupy Wade's usual spot at first base versus Miami lefty Jesus Luzardo, while Thairo Estrada serves as San Francisco's leadoff man.

Goldschmidt is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

It's the first day off this season for the reigning National League MVP. Brendan Donovan will handle first base and Nolan Gorman will play second.
