Freeman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Freeman gave the Dodgers some insurance with his seventh-inning blast, and it was almost necessary as the Giants pushed for a ninth-inning rally. The first baseman has gone 22-for-41 (.537) during his current 11-game hitting streak, which has seen him swat five of his 15 homers for the year. He's added 61 RBI, 64 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 31 doubles and two triples while slashing .324/.402/.544 in 93 contests overall.

Cooper was hit in the right arm by a pitch in Saturday's contest against the Pirates, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Cooper entered the game as pinch hitter for Luke Williams in the top of the eighth inning, but he was struck by a 96 mph Wil Crowe sinker and was forced to exit the game. More information on his injury will likely come after the conclusion of Saturday's contest.

Cooper isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper started the last five games and went 1-for-20 with a walk and nine strikeouts. Nick Fortes is serving as the designated hitter and batting second Saturday.

Wade isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wade is sitting for a second consecutive game since the Giants are facing left-hander Julio Urias on Saturday. Darin Ruf is serving as the designated hitter while Luis Gonzalez starts in right field.

White (sports hernia) was pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma following his last appearance June 14 and has since taking part in baseball activities back in Seattle while receiving treatment, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

White has now been pulled off his rehab assignment on two occasions this season, as he was previously shut down for two weeks before returning to action for Tacoma for one game in mid-June. Altogether, White went 3-for-27 with 11 strikeouts across his nine rehab contests, so he wasn't finding much success before he informed the Mariners that he wasn't feeling right physically. The 26-year-old has been on injured list all season and hasn't played in an MLB game since May 13, 2021, as his previous campaign was cut short when he required surgery to repair a left hip flexor strain. At this stage, the Mariners likely aren't counting on White being a major contributor in 2022 if and when he's healthy again.

Naylor isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Naylor started the last six games and hit .250 with two home runs, a double, seven RBI and three runs. He'll get a breather while Owen Miller starts at first base and bats sixth.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a home run in a 5-4 loss to the Athletics on Friday.

Lowe helped his team attempt to claw back into the game by taking struggling Athletics closer Lou Trivino deep to right in the ninth inning. It was Lowe's 13th home run of the season and his 40th RBI. The 27-year-old first baseman is now slashing .246/.307/.420 with three home runs in 18 games in July.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with a three-run double and two walks in a 7-3 win over the Royals on Friday.

Diaz came up big with the bases loaded in the fourth inning and cashed in three with a bases-clearing double off Brad Keller, who was bothered by drainage from his nose. Diaz is slashing an excellent .383/.479/.533 in July and continues to set the table for the Rays' offense as a reliable leadoff man.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Angels.

His seventh-inning blast off Shohei Ohtani broke open a scoreless tie and wound up being the game-winning hit. The All-Star break did nothing to cool down the first baseman -- Olson's gone yard five times as part of a seven-game hitting streak, boosting his slash line on the season to .255/.341/.495 with 18 homers and 62 RBI through 95 contests.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Reds.

Goldschmidt ended a 17-game homer drought just before the All-Star break and also went yard during the Midsummer Classic. He kept up the power display Friday, delivering a two-run blast in the fifth inning, though the Cardinals' offense couldn't keep up in this contest. The first baseman has multiple hits in six of 18 games in July and owns a .331/.414/.596 slash line with 21 homers, 72 RBI, 65 runs scored and five stolen bases through 91 games overall.
