Beaty went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a strikeout in a 3-2 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday.

Beaty went long off reliever Giovanny Gallegos in the seventh inning to knot the game at 2-2 and account for the only runs Los Angeles would score in the game. The homer bumped his season slash line up to a solid .284/.376/.420.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, two runs and a strikeout in Tuesday's 12-6 win over Seattle.

Olson opened the scoring with a solo shot off starter Marco Gonzales and tacked on a two-run single as part of a six-run seventh. This marks consecutive multi-hit outings for the power-hitting first baseman, who's now slashing .264/.354/.560.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, an additional RBI and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Hoskins was one of five Phillies who went deep in Tuesday's contest, and the slugging first baseman belted his 12th long ball of the campaign in the top of the sixth inning off reliever Amir Garrett. The 28-year-old has four home runs over his last 10 games.

Guerrero went 4-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double Tuesday against the Marlins.

Guerrero had a perfect night at the dish to record his third multi-hit effort in his last eight starts. The performance was highlighted by his three-run homer in the third inning off Sandy Alcantara. Guerrero now has 17 home runs on the season and is hitting .337/.441/.663 with 31 runs scored and 45 RBI across 227 plate appearances.

Walker is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Pavin Smith will start at first base as Walker takes a seat for the second day in a row. Walker is normally the everyday starter at first base, but manager Torey Lovullo is trying to get his two hottest hitters -- Smith and Josh Reddick -- in the lineup, so he sat Walker against a pair of right-handers Sunday and Monday.

Rizzo (back) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Padres after missing the previous six games.

Rizzo said earlier Tuesday that he expected to be back in the lineup, and now he's officially slated to bat third and play first base against the Friars.

Dalbec isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Dalbec will be out of the lineup for a second straight game despite his two-hit effort Saturday. Danny Santana will start at first base and bat seventh.

Bell is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Braves, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Bell, who's hitting just .103 against lefty pitchers this season, sits against Atlanta's Max Fried. After a hot stretch that lasted nearly two weeks, the switch hitter is just 1-for-14 in his last five games. Ryan Zimmerman fills in at first base Tuesday.

Votto (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

This is fantastic news for the Reds, as they've been without their first baseman since he fractured his left thumb May 5. It's not entirely clear how long the Reds plan to have Votto spend with Louisville, but he seems likely to rejoin Cincinnati's lineup within a week's time. Manager David Bell said that Votto could rejoin the team within the next week to 10 days and also noted that the slugger's biggest obstacle is managing the pain of catching the baseball, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Vaughn (illness) will start in left field and bat seventh Tuesday against Cleveland.

Vaughn and Tim Anderson both ended up missing the second game of Monday's doubleheader in Cleveland due to allergies, but the duo feels well enough to rejoin the lineup a day later. The rookie closed out May with a .221/.303/.430 slash line, four home runs, 12 runs and 11 RBI in 26 games.
