Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Cronenworth set the Padres on the comeback trail with his fifth-inning homer to get them on the board. The 28-year-old had gone nine games without a long ball, batting .207 (6-for-29) in that span. He's up to a .239/.339/.388 slash line with 14 homers, 70 RBI, 78 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 134 contests.

Wade is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Tyler Anderson is the second consecutive left-handed pitcher to start for Los Angeles, so Wade finds himself on the bench for the second straight game. David Villar will start at first base and bat eight Tuesday.

Vaughn is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mariners.

He takes a seat against a tough righty (Logan Gilbert) while AJ Pollock and Gavin Sheets man the outfield corners. Vaughn is hitting .175 with one home run, two walks and nine strikeouts over his last 10 games.

Santana is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

Santana is 2-for-24 over his past eight contests and will take a seat for Tuesday's game. Jake Lamb will bat eighth as the designated hitter versus Chicago righty Johnny Cueto.

Naylor is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Royals.

Naylor had started 16 straight games, hitting .200/.279/.317 with two home runs and two steals in 60 at-bats over that span. Owen Miller will start at first base and bat sixth.

Rizzo, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, is dealing with headaches that will require additional testing, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports. The team believes the epidural improved Rizzo's back issue.

He had been out with a back issue and was trending toward returning to the lineup soon, but these headaches will be what delays his return. Rizzo's timeline and status could become more clear following the additional tests. Ronald Guzman was promoted to offer first base depth in the short term.

Calhoun is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Astros.

Calhoun, a left-handed hitter, currently holds a better OPS against left-handed pitchers this season (.662) than he does when facing righties (.605). Nonetheless, the Rangers will continue to play the matchups. Mark Mathias will fill in as the Rangers' designated hitter and bat fifth against Framber Valdez.

Rizzo (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

It sounds like the Yankees are just being careful here, as it was reported Monday that Rizzo could rejoin the lineup Wednesday. Ronald Guzman was recalled to provide first base depth in the short term. Rizzo is eligible to return to action Sept. 11 against the Rays.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in the first game of Monday's doubleheader sweep of the Orioles.

The first baseman continues to catch other teams by surprise by his baserunning acumen. All seven of Guerrero's steals this season have come since the All-Star break and he's been caught only twice, adding extra value to a second half that has seen the 23-year-old slash .295/.348/.497 over 41 games with seven homers, 24 RBI and 25 runs.

Montero has started only five of Colorado's last 13 games entering Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee.

Montero appears to be stuck in a short-side platoon role, as four of his five starts in the last 13 games have come against lefties -- replacing either Ryan McMahon or C.J. Cron. Montero has collected 14 extra-base hits in 125 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he's also struck out at a 34.4 percent clip.
