Wade isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade will take a seat with southpaw Bailey Falter set to serve as the primary pitcher Monday evening. Wilmer Flores draws the start at first base in Wade's absence.

Hiura has been placed on the 7-day injured list with a PCL injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Hiura has performed well for Triple-A Nashville before the injury with a .331 average, 1.074 OPS and 12 homers in 118 at-bats. The former top prospect will not be able to return to the field until late June at the earliest. Hiura is no longer on the 40-man roster and struggled mightily after showing some success as a rookie, but his strong performance for Nashville as a 26-year-old was encouraging to see prior to the injury.

Walker is not in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Monday's game in Oakland.

It appears to be a regular day off for the slugger. Pavin Smith will fill in for Walker at first base.

The Rockies recalled Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Toglia wasn't able to win an Opening Day roster spot but is up now to replace C.J. Cron (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old turned in an .857 OPS with eight home runs over his 37 games with Albuquerque. Though Mike Moustakas is starting at first base Monday versus the Reds, the switch-hitting Toglia could be a candidate to fill a short-side platoon role at the position while Cron is on the shelf.

Mervis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

With southpaw Framber Valdez on the bump for Houston in the series opener, the lefty-hitting Mervis will give way to Trey Mancini at first base. Since his call-up from Triple-A Iowa on May 5, Mervis has started in eight of the Cubs' subsequent 10 games while hitting .219 with a 41.2 percent strikeout rate.

The Rockies placed Cron (back) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Cron departed Sunday's 4-0 win over the Phillies with back spasms and is now set to miss at least a week and a half of action. Mike Moustakas is starting at first base Monday against the Reds in Cron's stead, and Triple-A Albuquerque call-up Michael Toglia could also see time at the position while Cron is on the mend.

Milwaukee placed Voit on the 10-day injured list Monday with a strained neck.

Voit will be eligible to return later this month, although it's unclear whether he'll be ready then. Milwaukee signed Darin Ruf to a one-year contract in a corresponding move, and he'll presumably replace Voit as a short-side platoon option at either first base or designated hitter.

Hall (thumb) started playing catch May 3 and has also resumed taking dry swings, MLB.com reports.

Hall underwent surgery on April 12 to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. Following the operation, the Phillies offered a two-month timetable for Hall's return. That leaves him with roughly another month to go, and he'll certainly require some rehab games prior to activation.

The Reds transferred Votto (shoulder/biceps) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Matt McLain, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Louisville ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies. Votto took live batting practice at Triple-A over the weekend, which signifies that he could be close to resuming a rehab assignment. As a result of his move to the 60-day IL, Votto won't be eligible to make his 2023 debut with the Reds until May 30.

Rizzo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Rays.

Rizzo has been red hot of late -- he now has three home runs in three games while going 19-for-48 with a 1.130 OPS in his last 12 contests. The 33-year-old first baseman is slashing .312/.395/.526 with nine homers, 27 runs scored and 22 RBI through 177 plate appearances this season.
