Pederson (illness) is starting Wednesday against the Mets.

Pederson was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to an upset stomach, but he'll return to action following a one-game absence. Across his last four starts, he's gone 7-for-17 with a home run, a double, five RBI, three runs and five strikeouts.

Harper went 3-for-5 with a solo, inside-the-park home run and an RBI double during Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Nationals.

Harper delivered the run-scoring double during the first inning, and he also hit an inside-the-park home run during the fifth when his shot to center field caromed off the top of the wall. It's the outfielder's seventh three-hit performance of the year and first of the second half. He's hitting .295/.399/.533 with 16 home runs, 20 doubles, 37 RBI, 54 runs and 12 stolen bases through 79 games.

Winker went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Cubs.

Winker continued his breakout season Tuesday with a solo home run off Adbert Alzolay in the first inning. The first-time All-Star is hitting a ridiculous .476 in his last five games with two home runs and five RBI.

Belt (knee) will report to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Belt has been on the shelf over a month while recovering from an inflamed right knee, and he's set to begin the final stage of his rehab work this week, The veteran first baseman is expected to require four or five games in the minors to get back up to speed, so he should rejoin the Giants early next week if all goes well.

Pederson was scratched from Tuesday's lineup versus the Mets due to an upset stomach.

Pederson was slated to start in right field and bat leadoff, but he'll instead be sidelined for at least one game due to the ailment. He should be considered day-to-day while Ehire Adrianza takes his place in the lineup.

Dickerson will sit Tuesday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dickerson will hit the bench with lefty Julio Urias on the mound for the Dodgers. LaMonte Wade, who also bats left-handed, will start in left field in his absence.

Carpenter will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Tuesday against Cleveland.

Playing time has been hard to come by of late for Carpenter, but thanks to the DH being available in Cleveland, he'll enter the starting nine for the first time in seven games. For the second season in a row, Carpenter is hitting below the Mendoza Line (.188), and he's striking out at a career-worst 31.5 percent rate.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Monday's 6-5 win over Washington.

The outfielder came up clutch with a walkoff homer off Washington closer Brad Hand. This was McCutchen's third long ball in his last eight games and his 18th of the year. The 34-year-old has added 55 RBI, 52 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .237/.357/.458 slash line across 381 plate appearances as a near-everyday presence in the lineup.

Pederson went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Pederson got Atlanta on the board in the top of the third inning with an RBI double, plating one of only two total runs in Game 1. After hitting just .230 with the Cubs over his first 73 games of the 2021 campaign, he's now 11-for-41 with four extra-base hits, nine RBI and four runs scored in his first 10 contests with his new club.

Pederson went 4-for-6 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and two additional runs scored in Saturday's win over Philadelphia.

Aside from the homer -- blasted off shortstop Ronald Torreyes, who recorded the final five outs for the Phillies -- it's safe to say this was one of Pederson's best offensive showings of his career, and he is quickly settling at the top of the order for Atlanta. Since debuting for the team earlier this month, the former Cubs and Dodgers outfielder has gone 9-for-32 with two homers, eight RBI and four runs scored.
