Young was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

After getting called up earlier this month, Young will return to the minors as Willson Contreras (ankle) and Seiya Suzuki (paternity) return to the active roster. Young went 5-for-19 at the plate and put up a respectable .732 OPS during his short time in Chicago.

Solano (eye) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates.

Solano has not played since Sept. 23. Jake Fraley will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup.

Aranda is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Aranda will sit in favor of Taylor Walls for the second game in a row. While Aranda has a strong track record as a hitter in the minors, his defense is below average, so he needs to be hitting to justify getting at-bats. He is slashing .100/.273/.259 over the last 10 games.

Diaz (shoulder) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

He was supposedly trending in the right direction Sunday and was available off the bench, but Diaz has not appeared in a game since Sept. 19. Isaac Paredes will continue to start at third base.

Olson went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Monday's 8-0 win over the Nationals.

His two-run blast off Cory Abbott in the fourth inning opened the scoring and gave Bryce Elder all the run support he would need. Olson snapped a 17-game homer drought with the performance, and his bat is showing some flickers of life with the playoffs on the horizon -- he's gone 6-for-25 (.240) over his last seven starts with two doubles in addition to Monday's long ball, Olson's 29th of the season.

Solano (eye) isn't in Monday's lineup versus the Pirates.

The 34-year-old will miss his fourth consecutive game with an eye infection. Kyle Farmer is the designated hitter in place of Solano, who should be considered day-to-day until further updates are available.

France went 3-for-5 with a two-run single, a double and a run in a loss to the Royals on Sunday.

France's bat caught fire over the weekend, as he'd also authored a three-hit effort Saturday that included another two-bagger. The 28-year-old owns a .345 average (10-for-29) with eight RBI over his last seven games, a stretch during which he's hit .375 with men on base.

O'Hearn went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Mariners.

O'Hearn has seen his playing time drop even more since rosters expanded at the start of September -- he's started in just four contests this month. Despite the inconsistent playing time, he's been solid, going 7-for-22 (.318) in his last 10 contests. He hadn't driven in a run since Aug. 22 before his two-run double in the sixth inning Sunday. O'Hearn has a .230/.285/.310 slash line with one home run, five doubles, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored through 137 plate appearances.

Alonso went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three runs and five RBI during Sunday's 13-4 victory over Oakland.

Alonso singled and scored in the first inning, connected on a two-run homer in the fourth, singled in the sixth and knocked a bases-loaded double in the eighth for his second four-hit game of the campaign. The 27-year-old has been on a power binge of late with four long balls in his last six games and eight in September. The five-RBI performance pulls Alonso into a tie with Aaron Judge for the MLB lead with 128.

Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over Colorado.

Cronenworth hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning to put the Padres up 2-0 and later hit a two-run triple to put the Padres up 5-1. For the second game in a row, Cronenworth knocked in three runs, increasing his season-long total to 83. In 21 games this month, the 28-year-old is batting .215 with three homers, 16 RBI, 11 runs and one stolen base.
