Polanco is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Polanco started the previous 10 games and will receive a day off after going 6-for-35 (.171 average) with a 26.3 percent strikeout rate during that span. Josh Naylor is serving as the designated hitter while Donovan Solano picks up a start at first base.

Springer (concussion) will DH at Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, and if all goes well, he'll join the Blue Jays on Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Springer cleared concussion protocol Wednesday and began a minor-league rehab assignment Thursday. The 35-year-old went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk in Thursday's contest. Springer had been sidelined since Aug. 1 due to the concussion.

Marte is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Marte, who prior to Thursday started four of the previous five contests and went 7-for-17 with two homers during that stretch. Mark Vientos is batting sixth as the designated hitter in the series opener versus Seattle righty Luis Castillo.

Yoshida isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against Miami, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Yoshida will cede DH work to Roman Anthony for the second time in four games, taking a seat against right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Marlins. Yoshida is 7-for-19 (.368) with two doubles, a homer and seven RBI in his last six games.

Smith (oblique) started at first base in the first two games of his rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno, going 2-for-8 with a double and a run scored.

Smith was on the field Tuesday for seven innings and Wednesday for eight innings before getting a day off Thursday. He could be activated ahead of the Diamondbacks' next homestand, which begins Monday, but it's unclear what role Smith will have for a team that's punted on the 2025 season. Tyler Locklear, who was acquired from Seattle in the Eugenio Suarez deal, has been the primary first baseman since joining Arizona. As for DH, the Diamondbacks are giving prospect Adrian Del Castillo, a lefty batter like Smith, a long look there.

Bryant (back) is not expected to play again this season, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Bryant played in 11 games to begin the season, but a degenerative disc issue in his back has sidelined him ever since, as he remains on the 60-day IL. Last month, Bryant was reportedly exploring experimental treatments to correct the issue, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. It's unclear what path Bryant will choose for treatment, but his 2025 season appears to be over after slashing a miserable .154/.195/.205 with two doubles, one RBI, two runs scored and a 2:13 BB:K across 41 plate appearances. Since signing a seven-year, $182 million deal ahead of the 2022 season, Bryant has played in just 170 games for Colorado, registering a .244/.324/.370 slash line with 17 home runs, 61 RBI, 75 runs scored and a 61:156 BB:K over 712 plate appearances. He'll turn 34 years old in January.

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.
