Bohm is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Since homering twice and recording six RBI on July 1 versus Washington, Bohm has failed to leave the yard in his subsequent 17 games and has plated only seven runs during that stretch. Phillies manager Rob Thomson will give Bohm a chance to hit the reset button Monday, paving the way for Josh Harrison to pick up a start at third base.

Pratto is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Guardians.

Matt Duffy will get the call at first base against left-hander Logan Allen. While his strikeouts have been exorbitant against both lefties and righties, Pratto has actually fared better versus southpaws this season with a .765 OPS and four of his seven home runs.

Solano is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Mariners.

Solano will take a seat after he went 0-for-8 with six strikeouts while starting two games during the team's series with the White Sox. Willi Castro will slot in at third base while Trevor Larnach starts in left field and bats seventh in the series opener with Seattle.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

The first baseman took Bryan Woo deep in the fourth inning to get the Blue Jays on the board. Guerrero's bat might be heating up again -- the 24-year-old has homered in back-to-back games and three times in the last four contests, giving him 17 long balls on the year, but he still carries a disappointing .242/.311/.515 slash line over 17 games in July.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Rays.

O'Hearn took Colin Poche yard in the sixth to put the Orioles ahead 4-3, and they didn't look back from there. The long ball was his eighth of the year and his second against a lefty, as he's primarily played in a strong-side platoon role and has just 11 plate appearances against left handers for the season. O'Hearn has revived his career in his first year with the Orioles and is now slashing .313/.358/.528 with 19 extra-base hits, 32 RBI, 23 runs and an 11:40 BB:K in 179 plate appearances.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.

Diaz took Tyler Wells deep to left center in the fifth to knot the game up 3-3. He did not hit a home run at all in June but now has two home runs this month and is up to 14 on the year, which ties the career high he set back in 2019. Diaz's power is not something fantasy managers should be reliant on, though he continues to be a strong offensive contributor, slashing .317/.401/.505 with 47 RBI, 60 runs and a 42:62 BB:K in 372 plate appearances.

Tellez (forearm) said that he'll have 17 stitches removed from his fractured ring finger Tuesday, and he expects to resume swinging a bat as soon as Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Tellez was initially placed on the 10-day injured list July 5 with right forearm inflammation, but he appeared on pace to get activated at some point this past week before he fractured his ring finger while shagging a fly ball July 15. Now one week into an expected 3-to-4-week recovery, Tellez looks to be progressing as anticipated but still has a few more hurdles to clear before his return can be considered imminent. Owen Miller will likely continue to serve as the Brewers' primary first baseman until Tellez is back in the fold.

Rizzo went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 8-5 victory over Kansas City.

It was a huge day for Rizzo after he'd gone just 1-for-21 over his last five games. His home run, a solo shot off Jordan Lyles in the third inning, was his first since May 20, ending a 45-game drought. It's certainly the type of game the Yankees needed from the 33-year-old Rizzo, who came into the game batting just .154 with a .459 OPS in 38 games since the start of June. Overall, he's slashing .253/.338/.398 with 44 runs scored and 41 RBI through 390 plate appearances this season.

Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's victory over the Padres.

After going 0-for-10 in his previous three games, Torkelson opened the scoring in the first inning Sunday with a solo homer off Joe Musgrove, his 15th long ball of the year. The 23-year-old Torkelson has been productive of late, even with his recent cold spell -- he's gone 18-for-70 (.257) with an .835 OPS in 18 games since the start of July. Overall, the first baseman is slashing .230/.307/.414 with 53 RBI and 49 runs scored through 417 plate appearances in his sophomore campaign.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Goldschmidt has a .586 OPS over his past five games and will take a seat Sunday after starting the past 11 contests. Alec Burleson will step in at first base and bat fifth.
