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.

Walker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in a 10-5 loss to Arizona on Sunday.

Walker broke out of an early skid with walks in the fourth and eighth innings sandwiching a homer in the sixth. The 31-year-old should see steady run in the middle of Arizona's weak lineup and is a fringe fantasy asset if he can approach his 2019 numbers.

Voit went 1-for-2 with two runs and three walks in a 10-5 triumph over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Voit walked in the second, fifth and sixth innings, scoring on two occasions, and singled in the ninth. The former Yankee leads the majors with seven walks -- two more than anyone else -- and sports an impressive .529 OBP in the early going.

Cooper was removed from Sunday's game against the Giants in the top of the fourth inning due to a left wrist contusion, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper exited Sunday's matchup after being hit by a pitch, but he underwent X-rays after the game that came back negative. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-2 with an RBI. Since initial test results have been encouraging, he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's game against the Angels.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

Olson touched up rookie flamethrower Hunter Greene for his first home run with Atlanta. The first baseman doesn't seem fazed by the outside pressures that come with a new $168 million contract extension. He is batting .571 with a 1.576 OPS through four games as Atlanta's two-hole hitter.

Alonso went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

He also struck out three times, but Alonso's fifth-inning slam was the decisive blow in the game. It was the slugger's first homer of the season and the first bases-loaded blast of his career. Through three games to begin the year, Alonso's slashing .286/.333/.571.

Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in a 4-2 victory over the Athletics on Saturday.

The Phillies were clinging to a 2-0 lead Saturday when Hoskins led off the sixth inning with a solo shot to left field. The long ball was his first of the campaign and accounted for his third RBI in two games. Hoskins is 4-for-6 with a pair of walks so far in 2022.
