Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Since joining the Reds on July 31 after being acquired from the Athletics, Andujar is slashing a sizzling .358/.414/.623 with three home runs in his first 17 games with his new team. He should continue to occupy a prominent spot in the heart of the lineup whenever he starts, but Andujar will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Reds use Austin Hays at designated hitter and Gavin Lux, TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte at the outfield spots.

Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The left-handed-hitting Del Castillo will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with two of his absences coming against lefties and two coming against righties. He had been serving as the Diamondbacks' primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching, but manager Torey Lovullo may prefer to use a committee of players at DH moving forward, as Del Castillo has struck out at a 34.8 percent clip since the beginning of August.

Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The switch-hitting Bell has mustered a lowly .138/.250/.276 slash line with a 23 percent strikeout rate in 100 plate appearances against southpaws this season, so his absence from the lineup with lefty Ranger Suarez on the hill for Philadelphia doesn't come as a major surprise. Andres Chaparro will replace Bell at first base and bat cleanup.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Marte had served as the Mets' designated hitter in each of the last three games, but he'll cede those duties to Pete Alonso in the series finale in Atlanta. Brandon Nimmo (neck) will remain on the bench for a fourth game in a row, but assuming that Nimmo doesn't require a stint on the injured list, Marte will likely be limited to a short-side platoon role heading into the upcoming week.

Devers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Devers will get his first day off since being acquired by the Giants in mid-June, after he turned in a .227/.337/.412 slash line with 10 home runs in his first 58 games for San Francisco. Wilmer Flores will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while Dominic Smith starts at first base.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and four RBI in Friday's 9-0 rout of the Rockies.

The 38-year-old got the offensive fireworks started early with two-run doubles in both the first and second innings. The performance snapped a 1-for-22 slump by McCutchen over his prior nine games, and on the season he's slashing .240/.331/.375 with 11 homers, 39 runs and 45 RBI in 109 contests.

Andujar is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Andujar will be out of the Reds' lineup for the second time in four games while Gavin Lux serves as the designated hitter and Matt McLain starts at second base. Andujar has gone 18-for-47 (.383) with nine runs, three home runs and 11 RBI in 15 games since Aug. 1.

Ohtani (thigh) is serving as the designated hitter and batting out of the leadoff spot against the Padres on Friday.

Ohtani took a comebacker to his right thigh during Wednesday's game against the Rockies, but the injury isn't severe enough for him to miss Friday's NL West series opener. Ohtani has reached base safely in all 18 games since Aug. 1, and over that span he has posted a 1.266 OPS with 20 runs, four steals, six home runs and 10 RBI in 82 plate appearances.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Nationals.

The veteran hitter took MacKenzie Gore deep in the third inning to give the Mets a 2-0 lead, but the game quickly got away from New York after that. Marte has just seven homers on the season, but three of them have come in his last seven contests, a stretch in which he's batting .375 (9-for-24). Despite that August power surge, he'll continue handling a part-time role at DH as the team tries to find playing time for Mark Vientos, Brett Baty, Jeff McNeil and Ronny Mauricio in a crowded infield.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Padres.

That's now six homers during the month for Devers, who also clubbed his 25th of the year Thursday. Devers closed the month of July on a 0-for-14 dry spell at the plate, but he's been far more productive so far in August. Over his last 72 at-bats, the star corner infielder is hitting .250 with two doubles, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored and 11 walks.
