Smith started at designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Washington.

Smith knocked in a run with a single in the fifth inning, his second RBI in nine games. This was his third start in the last four games, as the Diamondbacks have faced more right-handers recently. That wasn't the case to start the season, when opponents started more lefties than righties. Smith is in a strict platoon and has just one plate appearance against a southpaw.

Steer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a strikeout in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Brewers.

Steer was able to launch a 379-foot solo blast off Chad Patrick in the top of the fifth inning, notching his first long ball of the year. The 27-year-old is off to a slow start in 2025, batting just .083 with the aforementioned home run, three RBI and two runs scored over 24 at-bats in seven games.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said prior to Sunday's 5-4 11-inning win over the Yankees that Reynolds isn't expected to begin a throwing program until later this week while he manages right triceps soreness and will remain limited to serving as a designated hitter for the time being, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Reynolds, who went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Sunday, has served as the Pirates' DH for six straight games. The Pirates aren't concerned that the injury will be a long-term concern for Reynolds, and his fantasy outlook shouldn't change dramatically in the short term while he's available to fill the DH spot. Rather than Reynolds himself, his injury has had a more negative effect on the fantasy value of Andrew McCutchen, who has made just a pair of starts in right field in the Pirates' last six games. The Pirates likely aren't eager to give McCutchen regular playing time in the outfield, so he's expected to continue sharing right field with Jack Suwinski until Reynolds completes his throwing program.

Flores is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

He'll take a seat for the first time this season after hitting .250 with four home runs and 11 RBI through eight games, with seven of his starts coming at designated hitter. Heliot Ramos will get a day off from outfield duties and will serve as the Giants' DH while Flores rests up.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

O'Hearn will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Jackson Holliday, Cedric Mullins and Heston Kjerstad as the Orioles look for platoon advantages against Royals southpaw Kris Bubic.

Maton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Maton will take a seat Sunday after he had started each of the last four games at either designated hitter or first base. He owns an .818 OPS over 22 plate appearances so far this season and should have a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching so long as he continues to swing a hot bat.

Burleson is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus Boston, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Lefty Sean Newcomb is taking the mound for the Red Sox, so Burleson will hit the bench as he and Luken Baker continue to work in a platoon at designated hitter.

Rice is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

The left-handed-hitting Rice had started each of the past six games, but he'll take a seat Sunday for the matinee contest while the Pirates send a lefty to the bump in Andrew Heaney. Aaron Judge will get a day off from defensive duties and serve as the Yankees' designated hitter in Rice's stead.

Winker went 3-for-4 with a double, two triples and two RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Winker's third extra-base hit and second triple of the game was the crucial knock in Saturday's win -- he launched a two-out, two-strike pitch from left-hander Brendon Little off the right-field fence to drive in a pair of runs, tying the game 2-2. Winker is now 5-for-17 (.294) with four RBI to start the year while holding down the strong side of a platoon at DH.

Raley isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Raley and his .572 career OPS against left-handers will stay put in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's game, as Robbie Ray is due to toe the slab for San Francisco. Cal Raleigh will serve as Seattle's designated hitter while Raley sits, allowing Mitch Garver to start behind the plate and bat fifth.
