Wade went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI single and two runs scored in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers. He was also hit by a pitch.

The 27-year-old's only hit of the contest was timely, as he knocked in Steven Duggar in the 10th inning to restore San Francisco's lead. Wade made the start at first base and hit leadoff. San Francisco's first-base depth is thin with Brandon Belt (oblique) and Darin Ruf (hamstring) both on the injured list, although Wilmer Flores (hamstring) is expected back this weekend. Wade will likely serve in a bench role while on the major-league roster.

Rizzo (back) isn't starting Saturday's game against the Reds.

Rizzo will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to manage back stiffness. He hasn't come off the bench in the last three contests, so it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Saturday. Kris Bryant will shift to first base while Rafael Ortega starts in right field.

Walker (oblique) will be evaluated following his fourth rehab game for Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Walker, who went 2-for-5 and homered for a second straight game Friday, could return to the Diamondbacks as soon as this weekend. This is Walker's second stint on the IL due to the oblique, so Arizona will give him a close examination before having him return.

Beaty went 2-for-2 with a solo home run as Los Angeles fell 8-5 to San Francisco on Friday.

Beaty homered off Anthony DeSclafani for his second of the season and later singled in the fourth before being removed in the fifth. He's slashing a solid .282/.385/.397 but may only be an option in deep leagues due to inconsistent playing time on a stacked Dodgers team.

Mountcastle (hand) remains on the bench Friday against the White Sox.

Mountcastle left Tuesday's game against the Twins after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. He's yet to play since then, but he's feeling better and could return to the lineup over the weekend, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Alonso (hand) took batting practice off a high-velocity machine Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alonso shed his brace while taking grounders at first base Wednesday, and manager Luis Rojas confirmed that the first baseman is "trending well" in his recovery. Alonso appears to be on track for a relatively brief stay on the injured list, but the team hasn't yet decided whether he'll need a rehab assignment.

O'Hearn was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

O'Hearn had been on the active roster for over a month but didn't do much with his playing time. In 57 plate appearances, he hit just .189/.246/.377 while striking out 35.1 percent of the time. Hunter Dozier (concussion) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Dalbec will sit Friday against the Marlins, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

He could be set to sit more frequently going forward due to the arrival of Danny Santana, who gets the start at first base Friday, but Dalbec doesn't look as though he'll be stuck in a bench role. Three of Santana's five starts have come in center field.

Rizzo (back) will remain on the bench for Friday's game against the Reds.

Rizzo finds himself sitting for the third straight game due to back stiffness. He didn't appear off the bench in either of the last two, so it's unclear whether or not he'll be available Friday. Kris Bryant remains the starter at first base in his absence.

O'Hearn went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

With Kansas City trailing 7-0 after four innings, manager Mike Matheny turned to his bench. O'Hearn replaced Carlos Santana at first base, and the former ended up providing the team's only offense Thursday. The 27-year-old has three homers, six RBI and six runs scored in 57 plate appearances this year. O'Hearn isn't likely to displace Santana or Jorge Soler from the lineup, so he'll remain in a bench role.
