Bohm went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

Bohm's only hit of the night was a two-run blast to left to put the Phillies up 6-3. It was his second home run of the season and his fourth game with at least one RBI in the last five contests. The 24-year-old has started seeing the ball much better, as he hasn't struck out the past three games after registering a 3:18 BB:K through his first 14 contests.

Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

Hoskins was expecting to have the day off but was needed to fill in after Jean Segura exited with a strained right quadriceps running through first to end the third inning. The 28-year-old Hoskins made some noise late, as he sent a fastball into the seats in left center in the ninth for his third home run of the year. After having a scorching hot first week at the plate, Hoskins has cooled down a bunch with a .167/.222/.333 slash line and 3:16 BB:K over his last 11 games.

Flores went 1-for-1 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Phillies.

Flores came on as a pinch hitter in the eighth and hit the second three-run blast of the inning to extend the Giants' lead to 10-6. It was the 29-year-old's first long ball of the season, as he's working to brush off his early struggles after coming into Tuesday night with just four hits in his first 29 at-bats. Flores has started on the bench in each of the last four games and appears to have lost a starting role for the time being until he can improve his swing at the plate.

Cron went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Cron was responsible for almost all of the Rockies' runs in the contest, driving in a pair with a double in the sixth inning before blasting a three-run shot in the eighth. The home run was the first of the regular season for the slugger after he went deep five times during spring straining. Cron boosted his average to .208 with the two-hit performance.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals.

Bell finally opened up the scoring in the sixth when he took a first-pitch hanging curveball over the wall in right to give the Nationals a 1-0 lead. Despite hitting his first home run as a National, Bell has struggled mightily in his first week back since returning from the COVID-19 injured list. The 28-year-old is slashing just .143/.242/.321 and has only four hits while striking out at least once in all eight games so far.

Blandino (undisclosed) was activated from the injured list Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Mike Moustakas (illness) was placed on the IL in a corresponding move. Blandino should serve as infield depth going forward.

Hoskins is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Hoskins underwent elbow surgery back in October, but he's handled a fairly typical starter's workload thus far this season. Tuesday's off day will be just his second time on the bench in the first 17 games of the season. Brad Miller will take over at first base in his absence.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 12-5 win over the Nationals.

He launched a solo shot off Joe Ross in the third inning -- one of five Cards homers on the night -- and also chipped in an RBI single in the eighth. Goldschmidt has three multi-hit performances and both his home runs on the year over the last six games, pushing his slash line up to .266/.309/.391.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two walks, two runs and two RBI on Sunday in Atlanta's 13-4 win over the Cubs.

For the fourth straight game, Freeman drew exactly two free passes, but his contributions in the power department had been missing over the past week until he took Kyle Hendricks deep in the first inning. Freeman's fifth home run of the season was one of four in the top of the first for Atlanta, the first time the club had achieved that in the opening frame since May 2003.

Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.

Cronenworth's first home run of the season came off Trevor Bauer in the fourth inning. Despite batting .313, Cronenworth only has four RBI. He has nine runs scored and six multi-hit games to his name. The 27-year-old should be in for a solid season with the Padres should he continue to bat over .300.
