Bohm went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and three runs in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.

Since June 24, Bohm has failed to record a hit in just three of his 31 contests, with the 26-year-old batting an incredible .393 over that stretch while scoring 22 runs and driving in 19. He'll look to stay hot in Sunday's series finale; he'll be included in the lineup at third base as the Phillies' No. 3 batter.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

He'll take a seat for the second time in less than a week, allowing Trey Mancini to pick up a start at first base. The move to the bench comes after Gurriel went 1-for-14 with an RBI in the first three games of the series in Cleveland.

Wade went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in a 7-3 win over the Athletics on Saturday.

Wade took advantage of one of MLB's weakest starting pitchers in Adam Oller to rack up a couple of extra-base hits, including his fourth home run of the season. He now has 16 RBI. Wade had a miserable July, slashing .154/.279/.346 and spending an increasing amount of time on the bench, so he will need to build on his performance by handling the bat well against higher-quality pitchers if he hopes to force his way back into the starting lineup more regularly.

Hiura went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.

This was Hiura's first start and second game since he was brought up from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. He got the Brewers within a run with his fourth-inning blast, but the Reds pulled away again after that. For the season, Hiura owns a .240/.354/.472 slash line with nine long balls, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases. The righty hitter owns noticeable reverse splits with a 1.054 OPS against righties versus a .559 OPS versus lefties this year, but he may still have to settle for the short side of a platoon with Rowdy Tellez at first base.

Solano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.

Solano has slumped a bit lately, going 5-for-27 (.185) in his last eight contests. His homer Saturday was his first since July 22, but the Reds' lack of better options has kept the versatile infielder in the lineup. For the season, he's slashing .299/.357/.444 with three homers, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and eight doubles in 35 contests. Jose Barrero's promotion has pushed Kyle Farmer to third base full time, but it appears Solano will maintain his fair share of playing time as the designated hitter.

Votto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.

Votto is now 10-for-29 (.345) over his last nine games, hitting safely in eight of them in one of his longest hot stretches of the year. He's collected three of his 11 homers this year in that span. The 38-year-old's surge has lifted his slash line to .224/.341/.406, but all of those would be career-worst marks for a full season. He's added 39 RBI, 30 runs scored, 17 doubles and one triple through 82 contests.

Alonso went 3-for-8 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

Alonso was more involved in the nightcap, going 3-for-4. He's hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 12-for-32 (.375) in that span to get his season average back up to .283 through 107 contests, its highest point since July 1. The first baseman has added a .910 OPS, 29 home runs, 93 RBI, 63 runs scored, two stolen bases and 20 doubles this year.

Dalbec went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.

Dalbec has hit safely in three of his four games in August, but the presence of Eric Hosmer on the roster likely means he'll see less playing time down the stretch. This was Dalbec's first homer since he swatted two versus the Guardians on July 27. The corner infielder is up to 11 long balls this season while adding 32 RBI, 32 runs scored, two stolen bases and a mediocre .205/.280/.369 slash line through 300 plate appearances.

Pratto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Red Sox.

Pratto walked it off in the ninth inning with a two-out solo shot off Red Sox reliever Garrett Whitlock. After beginning his major-league career with three multi-hit efforts in his first five games, Pratto's cooled off noticeably. Saturday's homer made this just the second time the first baseman has hit safely in consecutive contests this year. He's slashing .196/.313/.393 with two long balls, five RBI, four runs scored, a triple and three doubles through 67 plate appearances. Despite the growing pains, the Royals are likely to give the 23-year-old an extended audition in a lost season for the team.

Rizzo (back) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Cardinals, according to Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger.

Rizzo did not rule out taking the field Sunday, but when asked if he would play, he responded, "realistically probably not." Rizzo's status will be known for sure when the Yankees release their starting lineup for Sunday's contest.
