Vaughn isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Vaughn went 0-for-8 with a strikeout across the last two games, and he'll get a breather for Wednesday's series finale. Luis Gonzalez will start in left field and bat eighth.

Flores went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Angels.

Flores culminated a big first inning for the Giants with a two-run shot to center field. The long ball was his seventh this season and accounted for his 24th RBI. It also extended his hitting streak to 10 games, during which he is batting .419 (13-for-31) with four homers and eight RBI.

Cron went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Mariners.

Cron's solo shot in the seventh inning off Chris Flexen was all the offense the Rockies could muster in this game, but the slugging first baseman has been excellent at the plate of late. He has homered in back-to-back games for the second time this month and has gone yard in five of his last eight contests while hitting safely in all but one of those contests. He's hitting .266 this month across 60 at-bats.

Hoskins went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double during Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.

Hoskins made it a one-run game with a 387-footer against Tanner Rainey in the eighth inning. Despite getting off to a slow start to the season, the 28-year-old now has 16 long balls and 16 doubles, including three homers over the last three games. Overall, he's batting .241/.312/.481 and leads the Phillies with 64 hits and 43 RBI.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and another run scored during Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

O'Hearn evened up the score by going deep against Gerrit Cole in the fourth frame. The 27-year-old was batting fourth as the designated hitter in his return to the lineup after Adalberto Mondesi headed back to the injured list (oblique). Following a lackluster go-around at the plate earlier in the season, O'Hearn is batting just .211/.262/.439 with four long balls across 21 games.

Voit went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a triple and a walk during Tuesday's loss to the Royals.

Voit got the scoring started by cranking a 423-foot shot against Brady Singer in the first inning. He nearly swatted his second long ball of the night but it was called back and ruled a triple. It was the second long ball of the year for the 30-year-old, who was activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game. It's been an injury-ridden start to the season for Voit, who has missed substantial time due to a meniscus tear in his knee and a strained oblique. Across 13 games, he's batting just .213/.315/.383 overall, but it's worth noting that he went 8-for-19 with a pair of homers during rehab action.

Calhoun (hamstring) said he plans to begin a rehab assignment next week, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Calhoun previously indicated he hoped to return from the injured list by the end of June, but that won't happen with the rehab stint set to start next week. The 33-year-old hasn't fully tested his hamstring at game speed, so he figures to require a handful of games in the minors before rejoining the big-league roster.

France (wrist) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, batting fourth as the designated hitter.

France got an MRI after appearing to hurt his wrist during Sunday's win over the Rays. Per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, the infielder has a bone bruise that he plans to play through, though he'll see how he comes out of batting practice Tuesday. France's availability could very well be a day-by-day case in the coming days.

Alonso is out of the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Alonso started the past 18 games and will take a seat after posting a .775 OPS during that stretch. Dominic Smith will shift to first base while Kevin Pillar receives the start in left field.

Tellez was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Tellez hasn't proved to be worthy of everyday at-bats this season, as he's struggled to a .209/.272/.338 slash line in 151 trips to the plate. Now that George Springer is back from his quadriceps injury, there's no room for Tellez in the lineup, so he'll head to the minors in hopes of getting his groove back with regular playing time.
