Bohm left Saturday's game against the Red Sox due to COVID-19 protocols, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer before exiting. It's unclear why he wound up leaving in the middle of the game. With just one more day left until the All-Star break, there's a good chance his first half is over, though exactly when the Phillies expect him to return won't become clear until it's known whether he tested positive for the virus himself or is merely dealing with a contact-tracing situation.

Cabrera was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.

It's not clear when the hamstring issue arose for Cabrera, but the infielder last played Friday against the Dodgers. The move to the injured list will keep the 35-year-old on the shelf until July 20 at a minimum, and it remains to be seen if he'll need additional time to recover. The Diamondbacks could provide additional update later Saturday or Sunday.

Calhoun (hamstring) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday and will bat fifth and play right field against the Dodgers.

Calhoun had been out since late April after undergoing hamstring surgery. He hit well in 12 games prior to the injury, posting a .292/.333/.479 slash line, and he'll try to recapture that form upon his return. Taylor Widener was optioned to clear a spot on the active roster, while Nick Heath was designated for assignment to clear space on the 40-man.

Hiura is not starting Saturday's game against the Reds.

Hiura is hitting .231 in July after going 1-for-2 with a double and a walk Friday, He gives way to Rowdy Tellez, who will play first base in his second start with the Brewers.

Wade (hand) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

A precautionary late scratch Friday, Wade is still dealing with a left hand strain, which forced his exit from Wednesday's game. It's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench Saturday. Darin Ruf is starting at first base and batting cleanup.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 5-0 win over the Marlins.

The first baseman took Anthony Bass deep in the first inning, giving Charlie Morton and the Atlanta bullpen all the run support they would need. Freeman snapped a 12-game power drought with the blast but he was hardly unproductive during that stretch, slashing .362/.455/.468. On the season, he's batting .270 with 18 homers, four steals, 47 RBI and 56 runs through 86 games.

Flores went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-3 victory over Washington on Friday.

Flores gave San Francisco a crucial insurance run with his 410-foot blast to center field in the seventh inning. The long ball was his ninth this season and second in July. Flores has a modest four-game hit streak during which he is batting .333 (5-for-15) with three walks and four runs scored.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a double, run, walk and strikeout in a 5-2 win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Walker doubled in the first, singled in the third and walked and scored in the ninth to submit a valuable insurance run. The first baseman now has a decent five-game hitting streak that's seen him go 6-for-20.

Cronenworth went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs, a walk and a strikeout in San Diego's 4-2 win against Colorado on Friday.

Cronenworth reached base in the fourth, sixth and seventh, scoring in the two former innings for the Padres' first runs of the game. It was the infielder's third multi-hit performance in his last five games. The former Tampa Bay farmhand is slashing a superb .277/.352/.458.

Abreu went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and three RBI in Friday's 12-1 win over the Orioles.

Leadoff and two-hole hitters Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada were on base more often than not Friday night, giving Abreu multiple RBI opportunities that he did not squander. Even after going 0-for-8 in his previous two games, the 34-year-old is hitting .324 with 12 RBI in his last nine contests. Abreu's .250 average in 2021 is still a far cry from his .317 a year ago, largely due to a .182 month of June, but the early results this month have suggested a second-half turnaround for the veteran slugger.
