Wade (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Wade went 2-for-4 with a solo home run before exiting Saturday's contest with an apparent back injury, and he continues to be evaluated, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The 29-year-old may not have started Sunday regardless of the injury since lefty Max Fried is pitching for Atlanta. Wilmer Flores is manning first base while J.D. Davis receives a turn at designated hitter.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

With southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on the hill for Detroit, the lefty-hitting Calhoun will duck out of the starting nine. Gabriel Arias will fill it at first base for Calhoun, who extended his hitting streak to six games in Saturday's 4-3 loss by going 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk.

Casas (tooth) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 23-year-old will be sidelined for the second consecutive game due to a tooth infection. According to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, Casas has a follow-up appointment for the issue and could be back in the lineup Monday in Houston if he checks out OK. Justin Turner will receive another look at first base Sunday in the Bronx.

Cooper (wrist) was hit by a pitch as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Arizona and was immediately removed for a pinch runner.

After jamming his wrist Friday and being left out of the starting lineup for Saturday's matinee, Cooper felt well enough to pinch hit with the Padres trying to overcome a 6-4 deficit in the final frame, but he was drilled by a 93.8 mph Paul Sewald fastball just above the left elbow. Cooper was immediately replaced by Jose Azocar on the basepaths, but given that he represented the tying run, manager Bob Melvin might have made that move regardless. Cooper didn't make an appearance in the nightcap, but with San Diego now off Sunday after MLB juggled the schedule due to Hurricane Hilary, the 32-year-old will get a chance to heal up ahead of a home series against the Marlins that's still set to begin Monday.

Diaz went 4-for-9 with two runs scored and a walk across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Diaz has been racking up hits for the better part of the last month, as he's maintained a .373 average across his last 19 games. In that span, he's recorded 11 multi-hit games, 10 RBI and 15 runs scored. In addition to a .325 average and .391 wOBA, Diaz also has a career-best .178 ISO across 473 plate appearances this season.

Casas (tooth) is expected to be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Casas, who was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a tooth infection, had the tooth drained at an area hospital. Red Sox manager Alex Cora is targeting Monday for the first baseman's return. Justin Turner switched from designated hitter to first base Saturday.

Montero went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a run and four RBI in an 11-5 win against the White Sox on Saturday.

Montero couldn't get a homer to complete a cycle, but he nonetheless finished with a big stat line that included a season-high four RBI. The first baseman also notched the fourth three-hit game of the season, two of which have come over his past four games. Montero has gone 7-for-13 with five RBI over that span.

Aranda went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Saturday across both games of a doubleheader against the Angels.

Aranda started at first base in the matinee and slugged a 430-foot solo shot in the sixth inning for his first major-league long ball of the campaign. He came off the bench in the nightcap and added a walk over two plate appearances. Aranda has gotten into just six big-league games this season, going 4-for-18 with three RBI. He's pounded minor-league pitching, though, slashing .339/.449/.613 with 25 homers and 81 RBI over 434 plate appearances at Triple-A Durham.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-1 loss to the Dodgers in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.

Bell also went 1-for-4 in the matinee. He's been nothing short of excellent since he was traded from Cleveland to Miami at the deadline, batting .288 with six homers, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored over 16 contests with his new team. Overall, Bell has a .242/.324/.419 slash line with 17 homers, 59 RBI, 39 runs scored and 22 doubles through 114 games this season.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 13-2 victory over the Cardinals.

Alonso plated Jeff McNeil on a two-run homer off Andrew Suarez in the seventh for the first baseman's third long ball of the last four games and his 38th of the campaign. Alonso trails only Matt Olson and presumptive AL MVP Shohei Ohtani in the home run column this season and is on pace to reach 40 long balls for a second straight year.
