Wade went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

Wade has gone 2-for-12 in three games since he returned from a knee injury. The outfielder took the second pitch from Dylan Cease and put it over the fence, though the Giants didn't strike again until the eighth inning. Wade should play regularly against right-handed pitchers while serving primarily as an option in the corner outfield positions. He's batting .216/.318/.378 with two homers, six RBI and five runs scored through 13 games in what's so far been an injury-riddled campaign.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, a walk and three total runs scored in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the Rockies.

Walker went six games without a homer entering Saturday, his third-longest power drought of the year. He went deep in the second inning and then added another long ball in the sixth, giving him 21 on the year. The slugger continues to hover around the Mendoza Line -- he's batting .206 -- but he's added a .799 OPS in 311 plate appearances. He sits at 44 RBI, 43 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple through 76 contests.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Voit was one of four Padres to log multiple hits, and both of his went for extra bases. He smacked a double in the second inning and added a solo shot in the eighth. The 31-year-old had a bit of a power binge in June with six homers, and it only took him two contests into July to snap a 10-game drought without a long ball. He's up to a .232/.319/.432 slash line with 10 homers, 34 RBI, 29 runs scored, a stolen base and 14 doubles through 60 contests this year.

Freeman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Padres.

Freeman made a quick impact with the first of three first-inning homers for the Dodgers. That was ultimately all they needed in the win, though the first baseman walked and scored on a sacrifice fly in the seventh. He's been scorching lately, hitting safely in 15 of his last 16 games with eight multi-hit efforts in that span. For the season, Freeman owns a .307/.391/.502 slash line with 10 homers, 49 RBI, 52 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 25 doubles and two triples in 77 contests.

Naylor went 4-for-8 with a solo home run across both halves of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

Naylor's homer came in the second inning of the matinee, while his other three hits Saturday were singles. He's posted five multi-hit efforts in his last 15 games, batting .298 (17-for-57) in that span. For the season, the 25-year-old is up to a .273/.327/.495 slash line with 10 homers, 42 RBI, 23 runs scored, a stolen base and 13 doubles through 53 contests. He's still limited to the strong side of platoon at first base, but he's doing well with the playing time he's earned.

Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 6-1 win over the Guardians in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Rizzo got the Yankees on the board with a fourth-inning blast. The first baseman has hit safely in three of the last four games after enduring a brutal 0-for-18 skid near the end of June. He's slashing .225/.338/.513 with 22 homers, 52 RBI, 47 runs scored, six stolen bases and 10 doubles through 76 contests, and he's received a couple of breathers lately to reset as he looks to get back in a rhythm at the plate.

Hall isn't starting Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Hall has been on a tear over the last three games, as he's gone 3-for-13 with three homers, four RBI and three strikeouts. However, he'll get a breather while Kyle Schwarber serves as the designated hitter with Matt Vierling starting in left field.

Clemens is starting at first base and batting eighth in Saturday's game against the Royals.

Spencer Torkelson was hit in the head by a pitch Friday, so he'll get at least Saturday's contest off. If Torkelson has to miss more time, Clemens could get an extended look at first, though Harold Castro could also enter the lineup more frequently.

Torkelson (head) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Torkelson was removed from Friday's game against Kansas City after he was hit in the head by a pitch, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one additional matchup. It's not clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Kody Clemens will start at first base and bat eighth.

Arias was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

Arias made his major-league debut in April and went 1-for-8 with two runs, an RBI and three strikeouts. He missed a month and a half of game action due to a broken hand that required surgery, but he should provide depth for the Guardians after Oscar Gonzalez (abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
