Marte (knee) is taking batting practice, and the Mets still anticipate that he'll return from the injured list before the end of July, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

The 36-year-old hasn't recovered from a knee bruise quite as quickly as the team had hoped, but Marte isn't expected to miss too much more time. Through 188 plate appearances on the season, he's slashing .270/.353/.387 with four homers, five steals, 20 RBI and 22 runs.

Ozuna said after Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees that he's no longer bothered by the sore hip that was affecting his performance earlier in the season, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. "It was my hip earlier this season, but now I feel fantastic," Ozuna said. "I just lost my confidence at the plate. I just lost my timing, and that's what I've been battling. As soon as I get my timing back, everything's coming like last year and the year before."

The veteran slugger has lost his regular spot in the starting lineup while Atlanta has been using either Sean Murphy or Drake Baldwin at designated hitter on their non-catching days, and Ozuna's .139/.262/.333 slash line through 42 plate appearances in July, including an 0-for-4 effort Sunday, doesn't make much of a case for him to regain his job. He also acknowledged the trade rumors surrounding him as the team's playoff odds continue to shrink, but Ozuna didn't give any hint as to whether he would use his 10-and-5 rights to veto a potential deal. Until he shows signs of life at the plate, Ozuna's fantasy value and value as a trade asset will both be low.

Smith (oblique) was recently cleared to resume taking dry swings, MLB.com reports.

Smith is a little more than two weeks removed from landing on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain and is at the beginning stages of a hitting progression. A timetable for Smith's return to the Diamondbacks' active roster should be available soon as he reaches the point that he's facing live pitching.

Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday in a loss to the Brewers.

Ohtani batted second in the lineup for the first time this season, and the move paid off when he followed a Mookie Betts single in the third inning with a two-run blast to left field. The two-way superstar has homered in each of his past two contests and is up to 34 long balls on the campaign, though he's been passed for the NL lead by Eugenio Suarez, who has 35 home runs after going deep four times over the weekend. Suarez is also up on Ohtani by 20 RBI, which is due in part to the latter hitting leadoff throughout the season until Sunday. If Betts can get his bat back on track while taking over in the leadoff role, Ohtani could see more run-scoring opportunities moving forward.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

The veteran slugger has struggled a bit coming out of the All-Star break, going 2-for-9 with four strikeouts and a caught stealing in the first two games of the series in Los Angeles. William Contreras is serving as the designated hitter while Yelich sits, allowing Eric Haase to make a start behind the plate.

Bell is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Padres.

Bell went 2-for-7 over the first two games of the series, but he'll get a rest in the finale. James Wood is getting a day off his feet with a start at DH.

Ozuna will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Sunday versus the Yankees.

Ozuna was withheld from the lineup in each of Atlanta's previous three contests in what appears to be a performance-related benching, but he'll back in the starting nine for the series finale versus New York. His exit from the lineup came as Atlanta prioritized getting its two catchers -- Sean Murphy and Drake Baldwin -- into the lineup. Baldwin is getting the nod at catcher Sunday while Murphy is receiving rest, allowing Ozuna to at least temporarily reclaim his role at DH.

Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Brewers.

Ohtani sparked a rally in the third inning with his homer and added an RBI single in the sixth. The two-way superstar has had a relatively quiet July as a batter, hitting .192 (10-for-52) over 14 games, though four of those hits have been homers. He's still at a .274/.379/.604 slash line on the year while adding 33 long balls, 63 RBI, 92 runs scored, 12 doubles, seven triples and 13 stolen bases through 97 games.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Angels.

Schwarber doubled in the first inning and later played hero in the sixth, launching a go-ahead grand slam with the Phillies trailing by one. The lefty slugger has followed up his All-Star Game MVP showing by homering in back-to-back games since the break, and he's now hit safely in 10 of 13 contests in July with seven long balls. For the year, he's tied for fourth in the majors with 32 home runs while slashing .251/.382/.563 with 74 RBI, 70 runs scored and nine steals across 435 plate appearances.

Ozuna isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Ozuna will miss a third consecutive start at DH on Saturday, as Atlanta appears to have pivoted to using catchers Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy in the lineup simultaneously. The 34-year-old Ozuna owns a .762 OPS this season -- his lowest since 2022 -- and could be shipped to another team before the July 31 trade deadline, though it's worth noting he has 10-and-5 rights and can veto any potential trade.
