Bell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in a loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

Bell drove home Pittsburgh's first run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and drilled a 413-foot solo shot in the fifth. The long ball ended a power drought for the first baseman as he had last homered Aug. 5 versus Minnesota. Bell has put together a modest three-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 5-for-9 with only one strikeout.

Hoskins went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double during Saturday's 4-1 win over the Braves.

Hoskins' 421-foot, three-run blast to center field during the fifth inning gave the Phillies a 4-0 lead, and it proved to be the difference with the Braves tallying their lone run in the following frame. The 27-year-old has a .239/.417/.435 slash line with four homers, six doubles, 22 runs and 13 RBI in 27 games.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs, two RBI and a walk during Saturday's win over the White Sox.

O'Hearn went without a homer through his first 21 games of the season, but he now has two in the past four games. The 27-year-old has a .260/.360/.411 slash line with five doubles, six runs and 17 RBI in 25 games.

Rizzo went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Yu Darvish was busy shutting down the Cincy offense in an eventual 3-0 win, so Rizzo's blasts were all the offense the Cubs would need. Although a 5-for-39 (.147) skid over his prior nine games sabotaged his overall slash line, the veteran first baseman headed into the nightcap Saturday with eight homers and 15 RBI through 32 games.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.

Walker went deep in the fourth inning to get the Diamondbacks on the board, but that was the extent of their offense. The first baseman is slashing .309/.360/.512 with four homers, 21 RBI and 19 runs scored through 33 games this season.

Flores went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Flores went deep off reliever Kevin Ginkel in the ninth inning to give the Giants extra insurance. The defensively versatile Flores is slashing .280/.312/.517 with eight homers, 21 RBI and 18 runs scored through 31 games this season. He's carved out an everyday role by being able to play first, second and third base as necessary.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Orioles.

Guerrero put the Blue Jays up 2-0 with a two-run single in the bottom of the first inning. He later led off the fourth frame with another base knock, coming around to score two batters later. Guerrero has an 11-game hitting streak, driving in 10 and scoring 10 runs in that span. Overall, he's hitting .271/.344/.483 with five home runs, 17 runs scored and 16 RBI across 131 plate appearances.

Votto was ejected during Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The benches cleared during the fourth inning after the two sides traded apparent purpose pitches, with Votto, Jesse Winker and manager David Bell all getting tossed for the Reds. Votto entered the day hitless in his past 18 at-bats, but he broke out and went 3-for-6 with a solo homer and a double during the twin bill before getting ejected.

White (shoulder) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Angels.

According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, the MRI on the 24-year-old's right shoulder came back clean, and he may be available off the bench if a pregame workout goes well. It appears White avoided a serious injury, and he should be considered day-to-day. Jose Marmolejos is starting at first base Saturday for Seattle.

Wade isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Wade wasn't in the lineup for Saturday's matinee, and he'll sit for the second game of the twin bill as well. Jake Cave will start in center field during Game 2.
