Bohm is not starting Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Bohm will get his first breather of August after going 9-for-29 with three RBI to start the month. Ronald Torreyes will man the hot corner and bat seventh in the series opener.

Hoskins (groin) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Hoskins' groin is still not feeling 100 percent, which will lead to the first baseman sitting his fourth straight game. Brad Miller will start at first base and bat fifth. Hoskins can continue to be considered day-to-day.

Freeman is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Reds after missing Sunday's contest due to illness.

Freeman exited Saturday's matchup against Washington with an upper respiratory infection. He remained out of the starting nine for the series finale, though he did make a pinch-hit appearance later in the game. The slugger appears to be feeling much better as he's set to bat third and man first base Tuesday.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 11-inning win over Kansas City.

The two teams engaged in a scoreless tie for six frames before Voit broke the stalemate with a seventh-inning RBI single. In the ninth, the slugger again untied the contest with a solo shot to right field. The long ball was his fourth of the season and his first since returning to the active roster Sunday. Voit is slashing .239/.321/.385 overall in what has been an injury-plagued campaign.

Santana went 0-for-6 with a strikeout in Monday's 8-6 extra-innings loss to the Yankees.

It's rare for the first baseman to fail to get on base in some way -- he has a .341 on-base percentage and 14.6 percent walk rate this season. Santana has gone 10 games without a multi-hit effort, going just 5-for-38 (.132) with six walks and three runs scored in that span. All five hits in his slump have been singles.

Tellez is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

The Brewers are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Cubs lefty Justin Steele in the series opener, so the lefty-hitting Tellez will sit out the front end of the twin bill along with Omar Narvaez and Christian Yelich. Eduardo Escobar will man first base in the early game, but expect Tellez to return to the lineup for the nightcap with right-hander Alec Mills on the bump for Chicago.

Bell got the start in right field during Sunday's loss to Atlanta, going 1-for-5.

With lefty Max Fried on the mound for the opposition, the Nats found a way to get both Ryan Zimmerman and the switch-hitting Bell into the lineup. The 28-year-old hadn't seen work in the outfield since he was a rookie in 2016, and he should see most of his action over the final weeks of the season at his usual first base, but Bell could eventually wind up with some extra position flex. On the year, he's batting .249 with 19 homers and 60 RBI through 96 games.

Vaughn will be on the bench for Monday's game against the Twins.

The White Sox's outfield has gotten considerably more crowded recently, with Luis Robert (hip) returning Monday to join Eloy Jimenez (pectoral), who made his season debut in late July. Vaughn could slip into a lesser role down the stretch, as his off day Monday will be his second in three games, though his 1.073 OPS over his last 16 games suggests he deserves to be in the lineup as often as possible. Leury Garcia starts ahead of him in left field on this occasion.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI singles in a loss to the Royals on Sunday.

Goldschmidt managed his third two-hit effort of the last four games, a stretch that's also seen him belt his 18th home run of the season. The veteran first baseman went into the All-Star break wielding a hot bat and has impressively maintained his momentum since the Midsummer Classic, as he boasts a .328/.386/.544 slash line with six doubles, seven homers, 22 RBI, 13 walks, two stolen bases and 19 runs over the 31 games he's played since June 30.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.

Guerrero continues to destroy opposing pitchers and reached the 35-homer plateau in style, blasting a two-run shot in the fifth inning off Garrett Richards in the fight inning. The star first baseman ended a six-game homer drought with his blast and continues to deliver value as one of the game's elite offensive threats this year.
