Raley was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday and will bat eighth and play left field against the Rockies.

Raley gives the Dodgers an extra option in the outfield with Cody Bellinger (hamstring) and Mookie Betts (hip) both temporarily unavailable. He's shown very little in 56 trips to the plate at the big-league level this season, however, hitting just .180/.268/.260. Darien Nunez was optioned in a corresponding move.

Solano will sit Saturday against the Pirates, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Solano sits after starting 11 straight games at second base, a stretch in which he hit .279/.340/.302. Wilmer Flores slides to his usual spot Saturday, with Jason Vosler starting at third base.

Cronenworth will sit Saturday against the Marlins.

Cronenworth will sit against lefty Braxton Garrett, though he's started against all but three southpaws the Padres faced prior to Saturday, so there's little reason to fear that he's about to slip into a platoon role. Ha-Seong Kim starts at second base in his absence.

Cabrera (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera will return to the active roster after he spent two weeks on the injured list with a right hamstring strain. He was at the rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate recently and went 1-for-6 with a walk and four strikeouts. The 35-year-old isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs but could be available off the bench. Josh Rojas (finger) was placed on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jays.

He was the only batter on either side to have any success on the night -- the rest of the Mets managed only four hits (all singles) combined, which was one more than the entire Toronto lineup. Alonso extended his hitting streak in the process as he's hit safely in all seven games while going deep four times since defending his Home Run Derby crown. The surge has pushed his slash line on the season to .262/.339/.510 with 21 homers and 56 RBI through 85 contests.

Votto went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

The 37-year-old first baseman is locked in at the plate right now, collecting multiple hits in three of the last four games. Since returning to action from a thumb injury in early June, Votto has turned back the clock with a .297/.401/.507 slash line, seven homers and 27 RBI in 39 contests.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Reds.

He gave the Cards a quick 1-0 lead by taking Tyler Mahle deep in the first inning. Goldschmidt homered on the last day before the All-Star break and hasn't slowed down since, slashing .371/.476/.829 over his last nine games with five of his 17 long balls on the season.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Orioles.

Bell snapped a seven-game hitting streak in Wednesday's loss to the Marlins, and he accounted for Washington's only run in Friday's loss. The 28-year-old has now homered in three of his last four games, and he's gone 7-for-25 with three home runs, four RBI, three runs and six strikeouts in his seven appearances since the All-Star break.

Flores isn't starting Friday against the Pirates.

Flores had recorded hits in each of the last four games, and he went 4-for-16 with two home runs, a double, four runs and three RBI during that time. Jason Vosler will step in at third base and bat sixth.

Bohm was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

Bohm has been out since testing positive for coronavirus on the final day of the first half, though he was reportedly asymptomatic. He's been deemed ready to go after playing in a single rehab game for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The Phillies will hope his second half is better than his first, as he's hit just .243/.298/.343 this season after slashing .338/.400/.481 in his 44-game debut last year. Mauricio Llovera was optioned in a corresponding move.
