Kirilloff (wrist) could report to Double-A Pensacola later this week, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

He sustained the injury late in spring training, and originally was expected to return to the field sometime in April. He'll move to first base after playing the outfield last season.

Flores went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Yankees.

His second-inning solo shot off CC Sabathia was Flores' first homer as a Diamondback. His .241/.299/.329 slash line through 26 games is nothing special, but Flores should remain in the lineup on a regular basis, and Tuesday's long ball might have been what he needed to get going at the plate.

Olson (hand) flew to Reno, Nevada on Tuesday to join Triple-A Las Vegas and will be in the starting lineup at first base for the Aviators on Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Olson's minor-league stint is expected to last at least 4-5 games before the Athletics consider activating him. The slugging infielder has been sidelined since leaving a March 21 game against the Mariners with hand pain, so his timing at the plate certainly needs some work. "I just want him to feel comfortable and see the ball well," manager Bob Melvin said. "We have to resist the urge of trying to get him back here as quickly as we can, because he's been out for a while. With hamate injuries, sometimes it takes a little while for the strength to come back. We'll see where we're at at the end of this road trip."

Santana went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Marlins.

Santana took Sandy Alcantara deep in the second inning for his third home run of the season. It was his second homer in as many games, which broke him out of a previous slump at the dish during which he went 1-for-23. Regardless of the level of power Santana is able to provide this season, he remains consistent in his ability to get on base as he now has a .430 on-base percentage through 114 plate appearances.

Cooper was diagnosed with a left hand bruise as X-rays came back negative after he was hit by a pitch Tuesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Cooper just spent a month on the injured list with a calf strain and it appeared as though a quick return to the IL could be in store after he was plunked during his second plate appearance. Thankfully the 28-year-old only suffered the bruise and is considered day-to-day.

Bohm was promoted to High-A Clearwater on Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

Last season's third overall pick made Low-A look easy, as he recorded an excellent .367/.441/.595 line in 22 games for Lakewood. For a power-over-hit prospect, it's particularly encouraging to see that he struck out just 15.1 percent of the time, building on his 15.7 percent strikeout rate in 29 games for short-season Williamsport at the end of last year. If he handles High-A as well as he handled Low-A, expect him to move to Double-A Reading before the end of the year.

Beaty was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Beaty has gotten off to a solid start at Triple-A this season, batting .277 with two homers and 10 RBI over 22 games. He'll have an opportunity to make his major-league debut in his fifth year with the organization after A.J. Pollock (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Gurriel is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Twins.

Gurriel is in the midst of a 5-for-39 (.128) skid at the plate over his last 10 games, despite the fact he is striking out just 14.3 percent of the time over that stretch. Of 30 qualified first basemen, Gurriel ranks 28th with an 81 wRC+, ahead of only Ryan Zimmerman and Ryan O'Hearn. Aledmys Diaz will start at first base, hitting seventh.

Cabrera (calf) is starting at third base and batting seventh Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

Cabrera has missed the last three matchups due to left calf soreness, but he'll be back in action Tuesday for the series opener. The 33-year-old is slashing .237/.298/.500 with six homers and 17 RBI through 22 games in 2019.

France will bat fifth and play third base in his first career start Tuesday against Atlanta.

France has been up for several days but was relegated to a bench role. With Fernando Tatis now on the injured list with a left hamstring strain, France could see a run of starts if the Padres continue with the same arrangement they're using Tuesday, with France at third base and Manny Machado sliding over to Tatis' shortstop position.
