C.J. Cron 1B | BOS
Rockies' C.J. Cron: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Cron is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.
Cron missed two games after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist before starting Monday, and he'll head back to the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly in his return. A setback hasn't been reported, but it's worth keeping an eye on the 32-year-old to see if he's back in the lineup Wednesday.

Keston Hiura 2B | LAD
Brewers' Keston Hiura: Heads to bench Tuesday
Hiura is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
Hiura closed out last week by going 5-for-14 at the dish while making four straight starts -- two in left field and two at designated hitter -- but he'll cede his spot in the lineup to Hunter Renfroe (calf), who is back from a stint on the 10-day injured list. Christian Yelich was scratched from the lineup Tuesday with mid-back tightness, and given his history of back issues, it's possible the Brewers take a cautious approach with him through the All-Star break. If that's the case, Hiura and Jonathan Davis could be the main candidates to get more work in the outfield.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Moves to restricted list
Bohm (finger) was placed on the restricted list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Bohm suffered a dislocated left ring finger Monday against St. Louis, and he's now headed to the restricted list since he can't travel with the rest of the team to Canada for the two-game series in Toronto. It remains to be seen if the 25-year-old will require a stint on the injured list or if he'll be available for Friday's matchup with the Marlins.

Donovan Solano 1B | TEX
Reds' Donovan Solano: Moves into bench role
Solano is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
For one of the few times all season, the Reds have all their key regulars available with Joey Votto (back) checking back in at first base Tuesday following a week-long absence. As a result, Solano will end up losing out on a spot in the lineup after he went 9-for-25 with a home run and two walks while starting each of the past seven contests. The righty-hitting Solano should still have a regular spot in the starting nine versus left-handed pitching.

Joey Votto 1B | TOR
Reds' Joey Votto: Back in lineup Tuesday
Votto (back) is batting cleanup and playing first base Tuesday in New York.
Votto will step back into the lineup for the first time since July 4 after battling a back injury. Prior to missing time, the veteran slashed .216/.326/.405 with three RBI in his last 10 games.

Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE
Phillies' Rhys Hoskins: Swats 18th homer
Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Cardinals.
The 29-year-old slugger took Miles Mikolas deep in the first inning, but it was all the offense the Phillies could muster. Hoskins has gone yard five times in the last 12 games, batting .310 (13-for-42) over that stretch, but four of them have been solo shots to limit his fantasy impact. On the season, he's slashing .255/.347/.494 with 18 homers and 43 RBI through 86 contests.

C.J. Cron 1B | BOS
Rockies' C.J. Cron: Strikes out thrice
Cron (wrist) went 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly and three strikeouts in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Padres.
Cron missed two games after he was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in Friday's contest. His timing was a little off in his return, but there's little reason for fantasy managers to be concerned about the first baseman. He's maintained a reasonable 26 percent strikeout rate while slashing .292/.345/.544 with 20 home runs, 67 RBI, 49 runs scored and 19 doubles in 85 contests. Cron has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games, going 15-for-52 (.288) in that span.

Jake Cronenworth 1B | SD
Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Homers in three-hit effort
Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.
Cronenworth had four hits in his last nine games to begin July, so this was an encouraging showing. He hadn't homered since June 20, picking up only three extra-base hits (all doubles) prior to his long ball Monday. The infielder is up to eight homers, 45 RBI, 54 runs scored and a stolen base while slashing .241/.334/.389 through 86 contests this year. Despite his recent batting struggles, Cronenworth has maintained a place in the upper third of the Padres' order.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Suffers dislocated finger
Bohm was diagnosed with a left dislocated ring finger after exiting Monday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. He went 1-for-1 with a base hit before departing.
Bohm suffered the injury while sliding into a base. Per Gelb, the team is still discussing whether Bohm will require a trip to the injured list. He was already set to be placed on the restricted list Tuesday, since he'll be ineligible to play during Philadelphia's two-game series in Toronto due to his vaccination status. As a result, the Phillies could wait until Friday's game in Miami to make a decision on whether Bohm requires an IL.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Exits with trainer
Bohm left Monday's game against the Cardinals after appearing to suffer a finger injury, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Bohm looked to jam his finger on a slide into second base, and he walked off the field with the team trainer immediately after the play. Yairo Munoz replaced Bohm at third base.
