Crawford went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Pirates.

While Crawford isn't hitting for much power overall, he's still been swinging a fairly hot bat as of late. The rookie center fielder finished out the month of June having gone 23-for-75 (.307) with no home runs, four doubles, seven RBI and three stolen bases over 27 games. With Adolis Garcia (lat) and Johan Rojas (elbow) both done for the season, the left-handed-hitting Crawford is locked in as Philadelphia's primary center fielder.

Troy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Arizona will go with Jorge Barrosa in center field while Troy receives his first day off since June 19. Troy had started in the Diamondbacks' previous eight games, slashing .179/.207/.321 with one home run, four runs and three RBI over that stretch. His last five starts came in center, and he looks set to receive most of the playing time at that position with Ryan Waldschmidt back in the minors and with Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) likely out until at least late July.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Hernandez mashed his way into an everyday role after producing a .994 OPS through his first 16 games of June, but he's slowed down over his subsequent five games, going 1-for-16 with a 3:3 BB:K. With Liam Hicks (back) returning from the injured list Tuesday, the slumping Hernandez could become the odd man out of the lineup versus right-handed pitching on a more frequent basis.

Mangum is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Mangum will hit the bench after he produced a .297/.316/.378 slash line with one stolen base, four runs and two RBI while starting in the Pirates' last nine games. Billy Cook will replace Mangum in center field and will bat eighth.

Manager Torey Lovullo said June 20 that Lawlar will receive further imaging on his strained right hamstring during the All-Star break to gauge his healing, Steve Gilbert MLB.com reports.

Lawlar appears to be facing a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline after he was removed from a June 19 win over the Twins when he strained the hamstring while trying to beat out a bunt single. The 23-year-old had already been shelved for just over two months earlier this season due to a fractured wrist, so the hamstring injury represents yet another major setback on the health front. Lawlar had settled in as the Diamondbacks' everyday center field prior to getting hurt, but Tommy Troy has since stepped in as the main replacement at the position.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

O'Hearn started the previous 16 games -- included two versus left-handed pitchers -- but will take a seat after posting a .300/.310/.500 slash line with five doubles, three homers and 17 RBI during that span. Marcell Ozuna will serve as the designated hitter against Philadelphia ace Cristopher Sanchez.

Acuna (hamstring) went through a full pregame workout at Truist Park in Atlanta on Tuesday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It's a big step for Acuna, who is on the 10-day injured list for the second time this season with a strained left hamstring. He missed nearly three weeks of action the first time and has already been out longer than that this time around. Going through a full workout suggests Acuna could be nearing a return to games, but Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said it's a "long shot" the outfielder returns before the All-Star break. Acuna could be back for the beginning of the second half, however.

The Reds placed Myers on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left shoulder contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Myers had to be carted off the field during Monday's game versus the Brewers after he collided with the outfield wall following a terrific catch. X-rays came back negative, but Myers is still being evaluated to determine whether there's additional damage beyond a contusion. The Reds should have more on Myers' status later this week.

Bericoto went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Bericoto singled in the second inning and doubled in the fifth before coming around to score San Francisco's first run. The 24-year-old outfielder has logged at least one hit in each of his last five appearances, batting .412 with three RBI, three runs scored and two home runs in 18 plate appearances during that stretch. Overall, he's slashing .286/.306/.571 with four runs scored, four RBI and three long balls across 36 plate appearances this season.

Stowers went 1-for-3 with a walk, a hit by pitch, a double and three runs scored in Monday's win over the Rockies.

It was a typically wild night at Coors Field, and the Marlins produced multiple runs in three separate innings en route to a 10-7 victory. Stowers was in the thick of all three offensive outbursts as he shows signs of shaking off his June malaise. Over the last eight games, the 28-year-old is batting .276 (8-for-29) with five extra-base hits, five runs and five RBI.
