Flores went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a strikeout in a 5-4 triumph over the Rockies on Friday.

Flores took Colorado starter Austin Gomber deep to left center in the first inning to give San Francisco an early lead and later tacked on a single in the seventh. Following an 0-for-9 stretch across six games, the infielder is 3-for-8 with a double and a homer across his last two contests.

Votto went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-1 win over Philadelphia.

While he's cooled off a bit from his historic power-hitting run in late July, the first baseman has still homered five times in his last 11 games. Votto opened the scoring Friday with his fourth-inning blast, giving him 26 home runs on the year. Fifteen of those homers have come since the All-Star break. He sports a sturdy .285/.375/.585 slash line with 75 RBI, 48 runs scored and a stolen base through 365 plate appearances overall.

Wade isn't in the lineup Friday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, and he's homered in each of the last two contests. However, he'll get a breather while Kris Bryant, Austin Slater and Mike Yastrzemski start in the outfield from left to right.

Smith is not in the lineup Friday against the Dodgers, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Smith is actually hitting much better against lefties than righties this season (.848 OPS versus LHP, .648 OPS versus RHP), but he'll nonetheless take a seat Friday with Julio Urias pitching for Los Angeles. Kevin Pillar will start in left field and bat seventh for New York.

Bohm is not in the lineup Friday versus Cincinnati, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Bohm will take a seat for the third time in the past four days, and he is 4-for-21 with nine strikeouts and also has four errors in his past eight contests. Ronald Torreyes will receive another look at the hot corner Friday.

Tellez (knee) is not in the lineup Friday against the Pirates.

Tellez will remain on the bench for the second straight contest after leaving Wednesday's game with right knee discomfort. Manager Craig Counsell said the 26-year-old is feeling better Friday, but the team elected to give him an extra day to recover, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Eduardo Escobar will shift to first base while Luis Urias starts at the hot corner.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in a 12-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Cronenworth singled home a run in the first to give San Diego an early 2-0 lead, singled again in the sixth and tripled to right in the eighth. The infielder has now reached base in six straight games and recorded an extra-base hit in his last three.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a strikeout in a 7-0 defeat of the Rockies on Thursday.

Wade capped a six-run fourth with his 15th home run of the season off Colorado starter German Marquez for his second straight game with a long ball. The lefty has started August slow with only two extra-base hits, both of those being the recent homers.

Calhoun was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Thursday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Calhoun returned from the injured list July 10, but his season will be put on hold once again after he suffered another hamstring issue in Wednesday's game against the Giants. The 33-year-old missed over two months with a hamstring injury earlier in the year, but it's not yet clear how long he'll be sidelined with his current injury.

Bell isn't starting Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Bell started in Thursday's matinee, but he's gone just 1-for-13 with two strikeouts across his last three appearances. Ryan Zimmerman will draw the start at first base and bat fourth.
