Votto was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

It's unclear why Votto was pulled from the lineup. Mike Moustakas will play first base while Kyle Farmer slots in at designated hitter.

Beaty (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Beaty has been on the injured list since early May, but he reported to Triple-A El Paso on May 24 to begin a rehab assignment. However, his rehab assignment was paused in early June, and he'll now be ineligible to return until at least early July. A better idea of his return timetable should be revealed once he resumes a rehab assignment.

Wade (knee) will start a rehab assignment this weekend, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Inflammation and a bone bruise on his left knee sidelined Wade to start the season, and then he went back on the injured list with knee inflammation May 20. He recently was slowed in his recovery due to hamstring tightness. Once Wade is activated, he will likely be used primarily against right-handed pitching.

Solano (hamstring) could return from the 60-day injured list as early as Tuesday against the Dodgers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Solano began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville in early June and has slashed .333/.375/.476 with three doubles, two RBI and a run over seven games. The 34-year-old will presumably continue to appear in minor-league games this weekend prior to rejoining the Reds early next week.

Bell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Phillies.

Bell prevented the Nationals from getting shut out with his fourth-inning homer. He snapped an 0-for-11 skid at the plate with his two-hit effort Thursday. The 29-year-old has maintained a steady .294/.370/.447 slash line with eight homers, 39 RBI, 33 runs scored and 10 doubles across 65 contests while routinely hitting in the middle of the order.

Cronenworth went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI in the Padres' 19-5 win over the Cubs on Wednesday.

Cronenworth has been a terror for the Cubs in the first three games of the series in Chicago, recording exactly three hits in each contest. He entered the series maintaining a .221 batting average for the season, but his 9-for-14 start to the week has lifted that mark to .245. Cronenworth will be in the lineup again for Thursday's series finale, batting second and manning the keystone, according to Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Wednesday against the Guardians.

Cron doubled in the third inning and came around to score to extend his hitting streak to seven games. He hasn't homered in that stretch but has maintained a .310 average with two RBI and four runs scored. Cron has gone yard 14 times to go along with 43 RBI and 36 runs scored while hitting .289 across 268 plate appearances on the season.

Voit went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, two runs and two RBI in a 19-5 win against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Voit walked in the first inning, doubled in the fifth and seventh and cracked a solo home run in the ninth off Chicago first baseman Frank Schwindel. The 31-year-old has been hot over his last four games, going 7-for-19 with three home runs and three doubles, though the walk was his first since June 1. Voit is now slashing .237/.318/.432 with eight home runs, 24 runs and 28 RBI.

Tellez isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Tellez will get a rare day off after he went 1-for-13 with an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts over the last four games. Keston Hiura is starting at first base and batting sixth.

Cooper isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper started in the last two games and went 2-for-9 with an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Jorge Soler serves as the designated hitter with Bryan De La Cruz starting in left field.
