Marte isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Marte has collected a hit in each of his last four games while going 7-for-17 with a pair of homers, but he'll step out of the starting nine Thursday. Ronny Mauricio will act as New York's designated hitter instead and bat seventh.

Suzuki is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Toronto.

Suzuki is sporting just a .182/.312/.286 batting line with two home runs in 22 contests since the All-Star break. Owen Caissie is in the designated-hitter spot in his major-league debut Thursday, and while it's unlikely Caissie will displace Suzuki in the lineup on a regular basis, he could eat into the latter's playing time a bit as the Cubs look to jumpstart a sluggish offense.

Ohtani allowed four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Wednesday. He also went 1-for-4 with a triple, a run and a walk as a hitter.

Ohtani took the mound for the first time in his career against the Angels, with whom he played his first six big-league campaigns. The two-way star again showed flashes of brilliance on the bump, racking up 14 whiffs and seven punchouts while throwing 50 of 80 pitches for strikes. The pitch count itself was noteworthy -- It was by far his highest this season, exceeding the 54 pitches he threw against St. Louis in his previous outing. Wednesday also marked the first time Ohtani has pitched into the fifth frame this year, though he may have run out of gas late, as the final three batters he faced got a hit against him, culminating in a two-run double off the bat of Zach Neto. While that marred Ohtani's final line, the bigger picture is that he would have been allowed to finish five frames had the Angels not strung together the trio of hits to end his night. With that in mind, Ohtani seems to be at the point where he'll be allowed to pitch deep enough into games to qualify for wins, which should further boost his already robust fantasy appeal.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and three total RBI in an 11-6 win against the Mets on Wednesday.

The Mets raced out to an early 6-0 lead, but Atlanta came back with a nine-run fourth frame that included Ozuna's RBI single. The veteran slugger tacked on two insurance runs in the sixth with a home run to left field. Ozuna took a hit to his playing time just after the All-Star break, but he's responded loudly by batting .302 with seven homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs over 14 games since July 28. As a result, he's back to being a lineup regular, staring seven of Atlanta's past eight contests.

Andujar went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Phillies.

The 30-year-old doubled the Reds' lead with a grand slam off Jordan Romano in the seventh inning, effectively putting the game out of reach. Andujar has gone deep three times in the past four days and is riding a six-game hitting streak that's produced eight RBI and five runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .306/.346/.473 with nine homers, 35 RBI, 29 runs scored and one steal across 245 plate appearances.

Hays went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Phillies.

Hays scored the game's first run in the fourth inning before sparking a three-run sixth with an RBI double. It was a much-needed effort for the 30-year-old, who entered the day just 3-for-33 with a 2:12 BB:K through nine August contests. He's slashing .253/.315/.441 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 46 runs scored and four steals across 289 plate appearances this season and appears to be in a timeshare unless he can deliver more consistent production.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani will be limited to pitching four innings in his next start Wednesday against the Angels in Anaheim, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

The Dodgers are continuing to have Ohtani get stretched out incrementally as a pitcher since he made his team debut on the mound June 16 after completing his recovery from his second career Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in September 2023. Though he's already made eight starts as a pitcher and has delivered excellent ratios (2.37 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 25:5 K:BB), he's tossed just 19 innings in total and has yet to work deep enough into any of those outings to qualify for a win. Ohtani won't be in the mix for a win Wednesday since he'll be limited to four innings for a second outing in a row in addition to serving as the Dodgers' designated hitter, but assuming he comes out of the appearance feeling well physically, he should be ready to make a five-inning start when his turn in the rotation comes up again next week.

Flores went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Flores drove in the Giants' lone run on an RBI single in the first inning. The 34-year-old added another single in the sixth, marking his second multi-hit performance in four games this month. After missing six matchups due to left hamstring tightness, Flores returned to action in Saturday's loss to the Nationals. In three games since his return, he's batting .250 with two RBI across nine plate appearances.

Yelich went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

Yelich had a perfect day at the plate and his two-run homer in the fifth was part of a 14-run offensive eruption. Yelich has posted four multi-hit efforts in 10 games in August and has homered in consecutive games. Yelich leads the Brewers with 23 home runs and 78 RBI, both of which are his best numbers since 2019.

Andujar started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Phillies.

Andujar homered in the fourth inning, his second blast over the last three games. He's started five consecutive contests and hit safely in all of them. Since being traded from the Athletics, Andujar has gone 8-for-23 (.348) with four extra-base hits, four RBI and six runs scored over nine games in a Cincinnati uniform.
