Kirilloff was promoted to High-A Fort Myers on Wednesday, Jeff Johnson of TheGazette.com reports.

The 20-year-old corner outfielder made up for lost time (he missed all of 2017 due to Tommy John surgery) with Low-A Cedar Rapids, hitting .333/.391/.607 with 13 home runs (.274 ISO) and an outstanding 47:24 K:BB in 281 plate appearances. His stock in dynasty leagues is way up, as he is displaying the potential for a plus hit tool and at least plus game power.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored, a walk and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

Olson blasted a solo shot in the third inning -- his 15th of the season -- as one of five Oakland home runs in the 12-4 win. The 24-year-old is mired in a 5-for-40 (.125) slump even with Wednesday's two-hit outing, dropping his slash line on the year to .237/.320/.451.

Cron is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Cron has just one hit over his last eight games, so he'll head to the bench to hit the reset button. Carlos Gomez is starting at DH in his stead, allowing Johnny Field to pick up a start in the outfield.

Bell will take a seat Wednesday against the Brewers.

Bell sits after starting 10 straight games, hitting .300/.447/.433 over that stretch. Jose Osuna starts at first base Wednesday.

Cooper played four innings at first base and went 0-for-1 at the plate Tuesday in his second rehab appearance for High-A Jupiter.

Per the Associated Press, Cooper will shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A New Orleans, with whom he'll likely play several more games before being reinstated from the 60-day disabled list. Cooper has been sidelined since March 30 with a right wrist contusion and may need most of the allotted 30-day rehab window to prove his health to the Marlins. Cooper opened the campaign as the Marlins' starting right fielder, but with Brian Anderson having since secured that job, Cooper will likely play mostly left field and first base during the minor-league assignment.

Calhoun went 1-for-4 with his second home run of the season in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Calhoun's sixth-inning homer off Matt Koch proved to be the deciding run in a tight victory. The 30-year-old has produced well in two games since returning from an oblique injury, and a new batting stance may be the reason behind his improved production, ESPN's Alden Gonzalez reports. Perhaps the adjustment will enable Calhoun to make push toward mixed-league relevance again in the weeks ahead.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and two walks in Tuesday's loss to the Angels.

Goldschmidt tagged Angels' closer Blake Parker for a two-run homer -- his 16th of the year -- in the ninth inning to bring the Diamondbacks within one run. He has been on fire of late, hitting .423 with nine homers and 20 RBI in June. Despite the early struggles in the year, Goldschmidt leads all first basemen in runs scored (51) and is tied for second at the position in home runs (16) this season.

Hoskins went 2-for-5 with a two-RBI double during Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Cardinals.

Hoskins came through again for the Phillies on Tuesday, delivering the game-tying two-RBI double in the seventh inning, although the Cardinals did retake the lead in the top of the ninth inning. The 25-year-old is now 13-for-39 with four home runs and 13 RBI in 10 games since coming off the disabled list June 9.

Cron went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Cron got the scoring started with his solo blast in the second inning. The 28-year-old has been having a dreadful June, going just 6-for-55 (.109), but four of those six hits have left the yard. Tuesday's homer was his 16th, matching the career-high output he achieved in each of the previous three seasons.

Smith is starting in left field and hitting fifth Tuesday against the Rockies.

With Jay Bruce (hip) and Yoenis Cespedes (hip) both on the shelf, Smith will make his first career big-league start in the outfield. The youngster saw some time at the corner outfield spots with Triple-A Las Vegas, and he could continue to see some starts in the outfield until either Bruce or Cespedes returns. Smith is hitting .211/.250/.421 across eight games with the Mets this season.
