Cooper was ejected in the eighth inning of Saturday's against the Padres for arguing balls and strikes, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cooper had gone 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI prior to being tossed. Miguel Rojas shifted to first base and Joey Wendle entered the game at shortstop in Cooper's absence.

Naylor isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Naylor started at first base in Saturday's matinee and went 1-for-3. However, he'll get a breather for the second game of the twin bill while Owen Miller returns to first base with Ernie Clement entering the lineup at the hot corner.

Rivas will remain on the bench for the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Rivas was on the bench against southpaw Clayton Kershaw in the first game of the day and will remain there against Tyler Anderson in the nightcap. Frank Schwindel remains the starter at first base.

Wade will sit Saturday against St. Louis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade returned from a knee injury to make his season debut Friday against righty Jordan Hicks, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. With lefty Steven Matz on the mound Saturday, he'll retreat to the bench, with Mike Yastrzemski shifting to right field and Austin Slater starting in center.

Hoskins isn't starting Saturday against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Hoskins has gone 0-for-7 with two walks and four strikeouts over the last two games, and he'll be out of the lineup for the first time since April 13. Johan Camargo will start at first base and bat eighth.

Rivas isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Rivas led off in the last three games and went 1-for-9 with a run, two walks and six strikeouts. Frank Schwindel will shift to first base while Yan Gomes serves as the designated hitter against left-hander Clayton Kershaw in Saturday's matinee.

Kirilloff is starting at first base and batting eighth Saturday against the Athletics.

He was activated Friday but was left on the bench against a lefty. He slots into the bottom third of the lineup against righty James Kaprielian. It seems that Kirilloff will have to earn both a prominent spot in the lineup and opportunities against same-handed pitching.

Tellez went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 6-3 win over Atlanta.

The 27-year-old slugger continues to rake. Tellez has multiple hits in three straight games and five of his last 10, and over that stretch he's slashing .378/.452/.838 with four homers and 16 RBI. While he will still sit against the occasional lefty, Tellez appears to have seized the starting first base job for Milwaukee, and his path to everyday at-bats got clearer after Keston Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Voit (biceps) struck out in all four plate appearances with Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

He is 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts and two walks on his rehab assignment. The expectation was that Voit would need about a week-long rehab stint, and that may still be the case, but he was also hitting .143 with 17 strikeouts in 54 plate appearances in the majors before injuring his bicep, so it's fair to be concerned about how productive he will be once activated.

Wade is leading off and starting in right field in his first game back from the injured list Friday against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade, who typically plays mostly against righties, will slot right in atop the order with Jordan Hicks on the hill for St. Louis. The lefty-hitting first baseman/outfielder had seven walks and zero strikeouts in seven rehab games.
