France went 3-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

France has a pair of three-hit efforts over his last three games. Entering Tuesday, he had gone nine contests without an extra-base hit before slapping a pair of doubles. The first baseman is up to a .255/.325/.373 slash line with seven home runs, 40 RBI, 57 runs scored, one stolen base and 26 doubles through 104 games this season.

Wade went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Wade had gone 0-for-9 with two walks over his previous three games before getting back on track Tuesday. His seventh-inning solo shot ended up being the difference in the Giants' win, and it was his 10th homer of the year. The first baseman is up to a .267/.398/.421 slash line with 29 RBI, 45 runs scored and two stolen bases over 93 contests. He continues to occupy the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers.

The Padres acquired Cooper and Sean Reynolds from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for Ryan Weathers, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Cooper has a .722 OPS and 13 home runs in 82 games this season and will now make his way to San Diego. The 32-year-old could find himself in the short side of a platoon at designated hitter since the Friars also acquired the lefty-hitting Ji-Man Choi on Tuesday.

Miami acquired Bell from the Guardians on Tuesday in exchange for infielders Jean Segura and Kahlil Watson, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The Marlins moved Garrett Cooper to the Padres just before the 6 p.m. ET deadline, and Bell will replace Cooper as an option at first base and designated hitter. Bell, a 30-year-old former All-Star, had slashed .233/.318/.383 with 11 home runs and 48 RBI through 97 games this season for Cleveland.

Naylor was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against Houston due to right side tightness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

No details have been provided regarding the severity of Naylor's injury, but it is apparently enough to keep him out of Tuesday's contest. David Fry will enter as Cleveland's first baseman and bat fifth.

Beaty (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Beaty landed on the shelf June 23 after suffering a concussion, and he'll rejoin the Royals on Tuesday after a six-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha. The 30-year-old has appeared in just seven big-league games this season and should fill a bench role now that he's healthy.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

O'Hearn started the past four games and will receive a day off after he went 5-for-16 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs during that stretch. Ryan Mountcastle will shift to first base while Gunnar Henderson serves as the designated hitter versus Toronto lefty Hyun Jin Ryu.

Montero went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and an RBI in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Padres.

Montero was making his third start in six games since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque last Wednesday. Though Michael Toglia is expected to get the first opportunity to serve as the Rockies' primary first baseman following the recent trade of C.J. Cron to the Angels, Montero drew the starting nod Monday while Toglia shifted to the corner outfield as a replacement for Nolan Jones, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Toglia and Jones will have clearer paths to everyday roles moving forward, but Montero may end up settling in as the Rockies' top option at designated hitter. In addition to Cron, the Rockies also recently traded away another everyday player in Randal Grichuk, and two more lineup regulars in Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (finger) remain on the injured list and are without clear target dates to return.

Rivas was traded from the Padres to the Pirates on Tuesday along with Jackson Wolf and Estuar Suero in exchange for Ji-Man Choi and Rich Hill, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

With Rivas and Choi essentially switching spots, it's possible Rivas could see a significant uptick in playing time in the short term. The 26-year-old first baseman has a career .245/.330/.323 slash line with four home runs and six steals in 127 games. Rivas has long been known for his strong command of the strike zone in the minor leagues, but he has never been able to tap into the requisite power of a traditional big-league first baseman. He's slashed .332/.462/.582 with nine home runs, eight steals and a .400 BABIP this year in the Pacific Coast League.

Arias went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Astros.

Arias has gone 8-for-18 (.444) over five games since taking over as the Guardians' primary shortstop following the trade that sent Amed Rosario to the Dodgers. Prior to picking up the starting job, Arias had endured an 0-for-20 slump stretched across 19 games -- he was often a pinch runner or defensive replacement in that span. He's at a .209/.309/.323 slash line with four home runs, one stolen base, six RBI, 17 runs scored and six doubles through 181 plate appearances this year. As long as he continues to hit well, Arias should be able to fend off Tyler Freeman for playing time.
