Pederson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at San Diego, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pederson started the past seven games and caught fire at the plate and hit .409 with a double, three triples, a home run, four RBI and seven runs, but he'll take a seat Tuesday with lefty Sean Manaea on the mound for the Padres. Austin Slater will start in left field and bat leadoff.

Ozuna is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Marlins, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Ozuna has played sporadically over the past couple weeks, but he heads to the bench for a second day in a row Tuesday. Robbie Grossman will start in left field while William Contreras draws the start at designated hitter.

Turner isn't in the lineup Monday against Colorado, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Turner returned from a four-game absence Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a strikeout. Max Muncy is starting at third base while Trayce Thompson serves as the designated hitter Monday.

Turner went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.

Turner returned from a four-game absence due to a shin injury. The Dodgers played it cautiously with the veteran third baseman, slotting him in at designated hitter and pinch running for him after he singled in the ninth inning. Still, the fact that he was able to return to the lineup bodes well for Turner's ability to play every day in the postseason.

Ozuna is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Ozuna will take a seat after going 1-for-6 with a double and two strikeouts after serving as Atlanta's designated hitter over the final two games of its weekend series with the Mets. He'll likely continue to be part of a three-way timeshare at DH with Willson Conteras and Travis d'Arnaud.

Vogelbach went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 5-3 loss to Atlanta on Sunday.

Vogelbach got New York on the board with a solo home run in the second inning and added an RBI single in the third before being pulled for pinch-hitter Francisco Alvarez in the fifth. The long ball was just the second for the 29-year-old since Aug. 22 as he's been patient at the dish with 15 walks and 15 hits during the 26-game stretch. Vogelbach is slashing .239/.361/.439 with 18 home runs, 45 runs and 59 RBI in 127 games.

Reyes went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Reyes accounted for three of the Cubs' eight runs Sunday with an RBI single and two runs scored. His two hits on the day marked his first multi-hit game since Sept. 7, a stretch in which he was slashing .133/.235/.150 entering Sunday. Despite being known for his prodigious power, he has not left the yard since Aug. 31.

Turner (lower leg) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Sunday against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Turner was held out the past four games with the lower-leg injury but will rejoin the starting nine Sunday. The 37-year-old is coming off a strong September, as he hit .342 with four home runs, eight doubles, 15 RBI and 14 runs in 21 contests.

Morel is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Morel started the past five games and will receive a day off after he went 4-for-14 with two home runs, a double and five RBI during that span. Nelson Velazquez will man center field and bat ninth Sunday.

Meneses went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in a 13-4 win over the Phillies in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. He also scored four runs and drew a walk.

Meneses had himself a day at the plate on Saturday, beginning with a three-run double with two outs in the second inning to put the Nationals up 4-1. He followed that up with a homer to lead off the fifth - his seventh long ball since the start of September, to go along with 22 RBI and 17 runs scored. It was also the rookie first baseman's 11th multi-hit game in that 27-game span.
