Calhoun went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Washington.

Calhoun belted his first homer of the season during the third inning, which tied the game briefly before the Nationals plated three in the fourth. The right fielder has hit safely in five of six games since coming off a season-opening stay on the injured list.

Bohm went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's loss against the Cardinals.

Bohm might have recorded just one hit, but it accounted for half of the Phillies' offense -- he drove in two with an RBI single that scored Rhys Hoskins and J.T. Realmuto. The third baseman has hit safely in five of the team's last six games.

Hoskins went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Saturday's loss against the Cardinals.

Hoskins bounced back in a big way in this one, as he entered this game in a struggling 1-for-14 stretch that also included five strikeouts. The 28-year-old is hitting .273, but this game might be the confidence booster he was needing after recording just two hits in his previous seven games.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

The first baseman connected on his second homer of the year in the sixth inning off Mychal Givens. Alonso struck out in all three at-bats in the nightcap and overall has had a slow start to the year, with his slash line sitting at .222/.293/.444 after Saturday's long ball.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Tigers.

Olson got the Athletics on the board with a 438-foot shot to right field in the first inning -- one of three long balls Oakland hit off Detroit starter Casey Mize. He is tied for the team lead with three home runs and has also knocked in eight runs. Olson has gone 8-for-20 with all three of his homers over his past six games.

Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.

He walked and scored another run in the nightcap, but it was his sixth-inning blast off Mike Minor that was the highlight of Guerrero's day. The 22-year-old appears headed for his long-awaited breakout campaign, and through 15 games he's slashing a dazzling .412/.524/.706 with four homers and 11 RBI.

Smith will sit for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Smith went 0-for-3 with a walk and a pair of strikeouts in the first game of the day. Brandon Nimmo slides to left field in the evening game, with Kevin Pillar starting in center.

Beaty was optioned to the alternate training site Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The 27-year-old cracked the Opening Day roster and saw most of his action off the bench through the first two weeks of the season. Beaty went 1-for-11 with six strikeouts and could rejoin the big-league club when another bench piece is needed.

France went 2-for-4 with a game-winning RBI single, a double and a run in a victory over the Astros on Friday.

France's latest timely hit snapped a 5-5 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning and plated J.P. Crawford with the winning run. The 26-year-old is up to an impressive .288/.387/.462 slash when factoring in Friday's production, and he's reached safely in five of his last six contests.

Blandino was placed on the injured list for undisclosed reasons Saturday.

The Reds didn't specify whether Blandino landed on the 10-day injured list or the COVID-19 injured list, so it's unclear how long he'll be unavailable. Mark Payton was recalled in a corresponding move.
