Bohm is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Bohm has reached base in all six of his plate appearances (three doubles, three walks) between his two starts this season, but he hasn't been able to make much progress in his battle with Bryson Stott for the top job at third base. That might be due to his poor defense more than anything, and his move to the bench Tuesday comes as little surprise after he had a particularly horrendous night at the hot corner in Monday's 5-4 win over the Mets. Though he successfully fielded the five balls hit his way, Bohm's three throwing errors were a big reason the Phillies fell into a 4-0 hole before rallying for five runs in the bottom of the eighth. Stott is picking up a start at the keystone Tuesday in place of a resting Jean Segura, but Bohm will still take a seat while Johan Camargo fills in for him at third base.

The Diamondbacks optioned Ellis to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Arizona swapped him off the 28-man active roster in favor of another backup infielder in Yonny Hernandez, who offers the ability to handle more defensive positions. Ellis is largely limited to playing the two corner-infield spots, and he was unable to take advantage of the early playing time that was extended to him while Josh Rojas (oblique) opened the season on the injured list. In three games with Arizona, Ellis went 1-for-8 with four strikeouts.

Cron went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two RBI in Monday's win over the Rangers.

Cron delivered a leadoff home run in the ninth inning to put the Rockies up 4-3. He also helped the team get off to a strong offensive start, delivering an RBI triple in the first inning. Though early in the season, Cron has been very productive by delivering two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored across 17 plate appearances.

Wade (knee) has been throwing and hitting off a tee and will begin a running progression this week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wade is on the injured list with knee inflammation to begin the season, so seeing him ramp up his baseball work less than a week after Opening Day is a good sign. The 28-year-old should advance to live at-bats and running the bases before long if he continues to progress with no issues.

Cooper (wrist) will bat third as the Marlins' designated hitter Monday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper suffered a left wrist contusion Sunday and was originally absent from Monday's lineup, but he'll instead have a prime spot in Miami's order. Avisail Garcia will take a seat on the bench with Cooper joining the starting nine.

Cooper (wrist) will sit Monday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper was hit in the left wrist by a pitch Sunday against San Francisco and was forced to leave the game. His X-rays came back negative, but he'll sit for at least one day. Jesus Aguilar will be the first baseman Monday, with Avisail Garcia resting his legs as the designated hitter.

Flores is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Flores started twice at third base and once at designated hitter through the first three games of the season, and he'll be the odd man out Monday. He's 1-for-10 with a double, an RBI and a walk and should continue to have a regular role in the lineup with Tommy La Stella (Achilles) and Evan Longoria (finger) on the injured list.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

The lefty-hitting Tellez will take a seat for the second time in the Brewers' first four games while the Orioles bring a southpaw (Bruce Zimmermann) to the hill. Keston Hiura will once again fill in for Tellez at first base in what could prove to be a platoon arrangement between the two players.

Cron went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs and two strikeouts in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Dodgers.

Cron recorded hits in each of the first two games of the season, and he helped to extend the Rockies' lead in the third inning Sunday by going yard for the first time this year. The 32-year-old has homered at least 25 times in each of the last three full seasons, and he remains a power threat after signing a two-year extension with Colorado in October.

Tellez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Tellez had a day off Saturday with a left-hander on the mound for the Cubs, but he hit a go-ahead home run in the top of the sixth inning Sunday as the Brewers picked up their first win of the season. The 27-year-old performed well after being traded to Milwaukee last year, and he's gone 3-for-7 with a homer, two runs, two RBI, a walk and two strikeouts across his first two appearances in 2022.
