Ohtani allowed five hits and struck out eight without walking a batter over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. He also went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored as a batter in the Dodgers' 5-4 loss.

Ohtani crossed the 90-pitch mark for the first time this season, throwing 63 of 91 pitches for strikes in another stellar start. He's kept runs off the board throughout September, allowing just eight hits with an 18:2 K:BB through 14.2 innings across his three starts this month. Ohtani is expected to be in the Dodgers' playoff rotation, so it's a big positive to see him looking both in form and fully stretched out in his final tuneup before the postseason. He's posted a 2.87 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 62:9 K:BB through 47 innings across 14 appearances this season.

Del Castillo hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

Del Castillo contributed to the Diamondbacks' comeback effort with a seventh-inning blast to pull them within a run. This was his second homer in his last five games, though he's mostly been limited to bench duties recently. The rookie is up to four homers, 16 RBI, nine runs scored and a .246/.281/.404 slash line over 40 big-league contests (121 plate appearances).

Fry was removed from Tuesday's game against the Tigers after getting hit in the head by a foul ball, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Fry was hit in the face after fouling off an attempted bunt in the sixth inning. He was carted off the field immediately afterward and transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. The Guardians should provide an update on his status in the near future.

The Blue Jays reinstated Santander (shoulder) from the injured list Tuesday.

Santander had been out since late May with a left shoulder injury but began playing in rehab games with Triple-A Buffalo on Sept. 11. Since starting up his assignment, the 30-year-old slugger has gone 7-for-32 (.219) with two homers, five RBI and four runs scored across 10 games. Now fully healthy, he'll likely take over as Toronto's primary designated hitter for the remainder of the regular season and postseason despite posting a .577 OPS in 209 plate appearances before going down. Ty France (oblique) was placed on the IL in a corresponding move, and Alek Manoah was DFA'd to clear space on the 40-man roster.

Bell is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Bell isn't dealing with any known injury, but this will be his second straight day out of the lineup. Luis Garcia is making his first-ever start at first base for the Nationals.

McCutchen is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

It's a routine day off for the veteran. Joey Bart is getting a start at designated hitter and will bat sixth for the Pirates.

Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said that Ohtani will be used as a starting pitcher in the playoffs, in addition to his designated-hitter duties, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

The Dodgers discussed the possibility of using Ohtani as a reliever in the postseason and have even mulled deploying him some in the outfield so he could stay in the game as a hitter after he was done pitching in relief. However, they've ultimately decided Ohtani will be a member of their playoff rotation. Ohtani could even start Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series, as he'll be tentatively lined up for it after making his final regular-season start Tuesday in Arizona. The two-way superstar holds a 3.29 ERA and 54:9 K:BB over 41 innings covering 13 starts this season and went five hitless frames versus the Phillies in his last outing.

Devers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Devers launched his 33rd homer of the season to left-center field in the fifth inning, scoring the final run of the game. The 28-year-old has been slumping in September and hasn't delivered a multi-hit performance since Sept. 5. Over his last 16 games, Devers is batting .138 with nine runs scored, seven RBI and two long balls across 69 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .252/.371/.473 with 106 RBI, 95 runs scored, 31 doubles and a stolen base in 706 plate appearances over 158 games between San Francisco and Boston this season.

Herrera went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Monday's victory over the Giants.

Herrera tied the game in the fifth inning with a two-run homer off Justin Verlander, sparking a Cardinals win. The 25-year-old has been one of the brightest spots in St. Louis this year, slashing .281/.372/.462 with 13 doubles, 18 homers and 62 RBI in 102 games. While he showed promise with an .800 OPS in 72 games last season, Herrera's ability to maintain strong rate stats while boosting his overall production in 2025 makes this breakout especially encouraging.

Yelich is batting leadoff and serving as the designated hitter Monday night against the Padres, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

This marks the first time this season that Yelich will get a look in the leadoff spot, resulting in Sal Frelick being bumped down to the No. 5 spot in the order. Yelich hasn't had a great month of September at the plate thus far, batting .231 with two home runs, eight RBI, one stolen base and six runs scored in 14 matchups.
