Voit is dealing with a biceps injury, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The injury explains why Voit is out of the lineup against the left-handed Tyler Anderson on Saturday. The extent of Voit's injury is not yet known, but manager Bob Melvin didn't rule out a trip to the injured list. Voit will undergo tests to determine exactly what type of issue he is dealing with, at which point his expected return date should become clearer.

Cooper will sit Saturday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper sits for just the second time this season. Jesus Aguilar starts at first base, with Avisail Garcia serving as the designated hitter.

Voit will sit Saturday against the Dodgers.

Voit has now been on the bench in two of the last three games. His absence Saturday against lefty Tyler Anderson marks the first time he's sat against a southpaw this season. Eric Hosmer starts at first base, while Jorge Alfaro will be the designated hitter.

Bell was removed from Saturday's game against the Giants prior to the top of the third inning, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

The reason for Bell's removal was not disclosed, but he was forced to leave a game early for the second time this week. Bell's status will be updated again when more information is released.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over the Marlins.

After crossing the plate with the game's first run in the bottom of the first inning, Olson gave his squad some insurance in the seventh with a two-run double. The first baseman is quickly making Atlanta fans feel better about the departure of Freddie Freeman, as Olson is slashing .389/.500/.630 with two homers, four RBI and 10 runs through his first 15 games of 2022.

Walker went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 6-5 loss to the Mets on Friday.

Walker didn't do much early, but his eighth-inning shot off New York reliever Trevor May brought Arizona to within one run of the lead. The 31-year-old has put together a modest five-game on-base streak to bump his OPS from .583 to .648, though he'll need to start producing numbers like he did in 2019 and 2020 (.824 and .792 slugging percentage, respectively) to truly make an impact.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a run, walk and a stolen base in a 6-1 win over San Diego on Friday.

Freeman singled and stole second in the first inning, walked in the third and singled and scored in the seventh to continue a torrid five game-stretch that's see n the 32-year-old go 10-for-20 with three multi-hit games. After a slow start, the first-year Dodger is slashing .346/.417/.519 to place among the league leaders in each category while the theft was his first.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with two RBI during Friday's 4-2 win against the Reds.

The 34-year-old entered Friday's contest 3-for-32 over the past eight games, so the three-hit performance was certainly a welcome sight. Goldschmidt is still looking for his first home run of the season and has significant work to do on his .196/.302/.239 slash line.

Bohm went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in Friday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.

Bohm's two-run single in the eighth put the Phillies up 3-2 and proved to be the go-ahead knock. The 25-year-old slugger has been terrific at the plate to start the year; he's now slashing .440/.455/.640 with nine RBI through 25 at-bats. As long as he's swinging a hot bat, Bohm should continue to see regular time at third base.

Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Rivas spent just under a week in the minors, but he'll now rejoin the Cubs after Clint Frazier (appendicitis) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. Rivas has appeared in two major-league games this year and has gone 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI. He'll serve in a depth role while Frazier is unavailable.
