Walker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Giants.

Walker entered as part of a double switch in the seventh inning and clubbed his 22nd homer of the year off Giants reliever Andrew Suarez in the bottom half of the frame. The first baseman owns a .260/.348/.479 line with 56 RBI an 64 runs scored across 116 games this year.

Flores went 4-for-5 with an RBI double and a run scored in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Giants.

Flores wasn't originally scheduled to play, but Ketel Marte (back) was scratched from the initial lineup and Flores was the most successful Diamondbacks hitter on the night. His run production came in the first inning, as he plated Jarrod Dyson with a double before scoring on an error. Flores has managed multiple hits in his last three starts, going 9-for-12 with three homers and five RBI in that span. For the year, the infielder has a .309/.354/.459 line with five homers, 21 RBI and 20 runs scored across 181 at-bats.

Beaty went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

The 26-year-old rookie continues to produce when called upon. Beaty is now slashing .293/.332/.517 with seven homers and 37 RBI through his first 64 MLB games while handling primarily a platoon role against right-handed pitchers.

Alonso went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Royals.

For once, the rookie's offensive contributions didn't come via his prodigious power, as Alonso drove in both his runs with an infield single in the seventh inning that broke a 1-1 tie. He's now slashing .266/.370/.594 on the year with 39 homers and 93 RBI.

Guerrero (knee) will have an MRI on his left knee, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Guerrero left Saturday's game with an apparent injury to his knee. The severity of the injury and a possible timetable to return should become more clear Sunday following the MRI.

Santana went 3-for-4 with three RBI in a 6-5 loss to the Yankees on Saturday.

Santana recorded his fifth multi-hit game out of his last seven contests. The 33-year-old singled in each of his first three at-bats, driving in two runs in the first and one more in the fifth. Santana has an excellent .293/.414/.551 slash line with 29 homers and 78 RBI in 434 at-bats.

Walker is not in Saturday's lineup against the Giants.

He is hitting .306 with one home run in 49 at-bats this month. Jake Lamb is starting at first base, hitting fifth.

Guerrero exited Saturday's game against the Mariners in the top of the third inning with an undisclosed injury, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Brandon Drury replaced him at third base. It is unclear what the reason was for his removal, but it was likely some sort of injury.

Hoskins (hand) is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Hoskins was hit by a pitch on his right hand Thursday, but X-rays were negative and he is ready to return to action after missing just one start. The 26-year-old will slot in atop the order against right-hander Dinelson Lamet, and it looks like the leadoff spot will be his regular batting-order position for now with Bryce Harper moving down to the two hole.

Votto (back) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

He will miss his third straight game since getting scratched from Thursday's lineup with lower-back tightness. Josh VanMeter will start at first base and hit second.
