Wade is set to join Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Wade moved up to Triple-A after Jake Cave was promoted to the big leagues. Wade was hitting .298 with seven homers and 27 RBI through 46 games at Double-A Chattanooga.

Cron is not in the lineup against Seattle on Saturday.

Cron will get a breather after going 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Friday's loss. In his absence, Matt Duffy will DH and Christian Arroyo will enter the starting lineup at third base.

Calhoun (oblique) has been able to resume some baseball activities, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Calhoun is currently rehabbing in Arizona, and he's been swinging a bat, although the Angels are by no means rushing him back from the disabled list. There's no timetable for his return quite yet, so it doesn't appear Calhoun will be activated off the DL in the near future.

Bell will be moved from the cleanup spot "until further notice" according to manager Clint Hurdle, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

During Saturday's game against the Cubs, Bell will be batting sixth and manning first base after starting the month 1-for-20. Hurdle added that this will not be a one-day swap and that he wants to see Bell find success outside of his typical cleanup position.

Hoskins (jaw) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Hoskins is ready to return after missing the minimum on the disabled list with a fractured jaw. He figures to be penciled into Saturday's lineup against the Brewers and almost every day moving forward, despite struggling at the dish prior to hitting the DL; he's batting just .136 with two RBI and 13 strikeouts over his last 12 games.

Bour went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the Padres.

The first baseman still isn't supplying the big-time power the Marlins were hoping for, but he's at least digging himself out of his early season hole at the plate, slashing .304/.365/.457 over his last 12 games with one homer, four RBI and six runs. Bour's relative lack of production -- he does have 10 home runs and 27 RBI in 61 games -- is at least partially due to other teams pitching around the only real long-ball threat in Miami's batting order, as his 17.4 percent walk rate is over six points higher than his career mark.

Cron went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Mariners.

Cron hit a two-run blast -- his 14th homer of the year -- off reliever Alex Colome in the eighth to bring the Rays within one. It was Cron's second homer in three games, but those have been the only hits he's recorded over his last six contests. The 28-year-old is slashing .257/.325/.473 with 10 doubles, 35 RBI and 34 runs scored. Cron hit 16 home runs in each of the last three seasons as a member of the Angels, and with the increased playing time in Tampa Bay he appears poised to significantly exceed those figures.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in Arizona's 9-4 victory over the Rockies on Friday.

The big first baseman has exploded over his last three games, bagging 10 hits in his last 15 at-bats, and he swatted home runs numbers nine and 10 on the season in this contest. His slow start to the season may have elicited some hand wringing from worried owners, but he looks like he's finally ready to get back to his old tricks, as this four-hit effort brought his slash line up to .241/.349/.464. That's still far short of the lofty standards he's set with his MVP-caliber play the past few seasons, but if these recent fireworks are a sign a sustained hot streak is on the horizon, Goldschmidt's numbers could start to rise in a hurry.

White, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles in his Triple-A Tacoma debut Friday, is expected to remain the Rainiers for a limited time following his promotion from High-A Modesto, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

White made quite the jump in level of competition with the promotion, which general manager Jerry Dipoto confirmed was necessitated by Daniel Vogelbach being called up to the big-league club and Cameron Perkins (undisclosed) still being on the minor-league disabled list. Still, White didn't exactly look out of place in his first taste of Triple-A action Friday, and Divish confirms a long-term move to the Rainiers is possible after the All-Star break if White continues to play well after returning to the Nuts.

Santana went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in Friday's 12-4 loss to Milwaukee.

Santana drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth, followed by a solo homer in the seventh, but the Brewers had already pulled out to a huge lead. Across 61 games this season, Santana has struggled to hit for average (.223), although he's demonstrated plenty of power, smacking 10 home runs while driving in 37.
