Jonah Bride 3B | TEX
Marlins' Jonah Bride: Designated for assignment by Miami
Bride was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Tuesday.
Bride was removed from the 40-man roster in order to make room for Jesus Sanchez and his return from the 10-day injured list. Bride was off to a rough start this season, slashing .100/.200/.100 with zero extra-base hits, two RBI, three runs scored and a 5:15 BB:K across 45 plate appearances. Bride hit right-handed pitching well in 2024, slashing .302/.364/.550 with a .248 ISO, .382 wOBA and 144 wRC+ spanning 173 trips to the plate. The 29-year-old will look to get his bat going in the minors.

Bryan Reynolds LF | PIT
Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Hits in four straight
Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Nationals.
Reynolds remains limited to designated-hitter duties as he manages triceps soreness, though he has started to show some life at the plate. He has a modest four-game hitting streak, but the fantasy impact has been minimal as his only counting stats in that span came during Monday's performance.

Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD
Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Homers among three hits Monday
Ohtani went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs against the Rockies in a 5-3 win Monday.
Ohtani's homer came in the third inning, when he belted a 408-foot shot to center field. Prior to Monday, the star slugger had been in a bit of a power drought, going deep just once over his previous nine games. Ohtani's spot atop the Dodgers' order has hamstrung his ability to drive in runs to some extent, as he has just six RBI through 18 games. Beyond that, though, he's been quite productive, posting a .296/.390/.549 slash line, five homers and four stolen bases. He's also scored 18 runs, second-most in the majors.

Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC
Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Absent from starting nine
Suzuki (wrist) isn't starting Monday's game against the Padres.
Suzuki can continue to be considered day-to-day while dealing with a right wrist injury. Justin Turner will see another start in Suzuki's absence, as he'll slot into the DH spot and bat third against Dylan Cease in Monday's series opener.

Kris Bryant RF | COL
Rockies' Kris Bryant: Heads to IL with back injury
The Rockies placed Bryant on the 10-day injured list Monday with lumbar degenerative disc disease.
Back injuries have plagued Bryant throughout his tenure with the Rockies and this latest stint on the injured list figures to be a lengthy one. The 33-year-old has just a .400 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate in 11 games for Colorado this season. Kyle Farmer is starting at designated hitter Monday while Adael Amador plays second base.

Kris Bryant RF | COL
Rockies' Kris Bryant: Absent from lineup again
Bryant is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Dodgers.
Bryant isn't dealing with any known injury, but this is the second day in a row he's been out of the lineup and the third time across the last four games versus a right-hander that he hasn't started. The 33-year-old has a .400 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate in his first 11 tilts this season. For the second straight day, Kyle Farmer is starting at designated hitter Monday while Adael Amador plays second base.

Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT
Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Out until Friday with inflamed hip
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Ozuna will be unavailable for the team's three-game series in Toronto due to hip inflammation, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan reports.
Ozuna was sent back to Atlanta to undergo an MRI, which showed inflammation in the hip but no other serious concerns, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is considered day-to-day but will remain in Atlanta until the team returns home Friday. Bryan De La Cruz will start at designated hitter in Monday's series opener in Toronto.

Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT
Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Nursing minor leg injury
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Ozuna is not in Monday's lineup versus the Blue Jays due to a minor leg injury, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Snitker is not concerned about Ozuna's injury lingering, but it's enough to keep the designated hitter out of the lineup Monday for the first time this season. Bryan De La Cruz will be the DH and bat fifth for Atlanta in the series opener.

Starling Marte RF | KC
Mets' Starling Marte: Set to lose work with Winker back
Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Marte had started four of the previous five games at designated hitter, but the surge in playing time seems to be result of Jesse Winker having battled flu-like symptoms for much of the past week. With Winker back in lineup for the first time since last Monday, Marte looks set to occupy the short side of a platoon at DH moving forward. Marte is batting .192 with a home run and a stolen base over his 32 plate appearances on the season.
