Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Rockies.

Goldschmidt got hold of a solo home run in the first inning and followed that up with a three-run home run in the fourth inning, both coming off Chad Bettis. The home runs marked his 11th and 12th of the season, half of which have come in his past 10 games. While his four home runs in two games against the Rockies were aided by Coors Field, Goldschmidt continues to provide optimism that he's breaking out of his season-long slump as he entered Saturday's game hitting .388/.444/.796 across the last 15 days.

Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.

Cabrera capped off a big first inning for the Mets by taking Domingo German deep, recording his 11th home run of the season. While his batting average has taken a hit of late, Cabrera has kept up a surprising power profile as he is now slugging .502 in 235 at-bats this season. If he were able to maintain that, it would be the highest mark of his career by nearly 30 points.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 12-3 loss to the Brewers.

Hoskins made a triumphant return from the disabled list with a three-run shot in the third inning to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead. The lead didn't last as the rest of Philadelphia's offense managed only four hits and the bullpen collapsed behind starter Jake Arrieta, but Hoskins' immediate impact was nonetheless a welcome sight.

Flores (back) is nearing a return from the 10-day disabled list, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

Flores landed on the disabled list May 28 with lower-back soreness and has resumed all baseball activities. It remains unclear whether the 26-year-old will require a short minor-league rehab stint.

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.
