Alvarez (neck) will start in left field and bat second in Monday's game against the Phillies, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez was on the bench for each of the Astros' last three games due to neck discomfort, but the team's willingness to use him in the outfield rather than at designated hitter Monday implies confidence in his health moving forward. He'll put an 18-game on-base streak on the line as he draws back into the lineup Monday. During that stretch, Alvarez has slashed .364/.475/.652 with five home runs and 12 walks against 10 strikeouts.

Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Royals.

Schwarber's RBI double in the third inning brought in the first run of the game. He came around to score on an Alec Bohm single and later drove in another pair of runs. Schwarber had gone 13 straight games without multiple hits but has now done so in back-to-back games. He's produced an .868 OPS with 12 extra-base hits this month. Schwarber owns an .845 OPS with 45 extra-base knocks and 82 RBI through 119 games this season.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

Martinez went deep off Martin Perez in the fourth for the first run of the game. Three of his last four hits over the last six games have left the yard. Martinez now has 61 RBI in his last 89 games, which is third in the National League over that span behind Kyle Schwarber and Shohei Ohtani. For the year, Martinez is slashing .251/.334/.440 with 15 homers, 62 RBI, 39 runs and a 41:118 BB:K in 407 plate appearances.

Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk during Sunday's 4-3 loss against the A's.

Sanchez cleared the fence for the ninth time this season and has now driven in five runs and scored three over his last two starts. Sanchez has collected at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 starts while his .243 batting average on the season is the best he's posted since 2017 while with the Yankees.

Fry went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.

Fry's power has picked up in August -- he's hit five homers this month, giving him 13 for the year. That's about the only thing trending in the right direction for the 28-year-old, who has been losing playing time since he's hitting just .175 (10-for-57) across 19 games this month. Overall, Fry has a .265/.364/.454 slash line with 46 RBI, 40 runs scored, 14 doubles and four stolen bases over 102 contests.

Mervis (hand) was reinstated from Triple-A Iowa's 7-day injured list Tuesday and has gone 4-for-17 with five walks since rejoining the lineup.

Mervis missed about six-and-a-half weeks with a hand injury and didn't require a rehab assignment before being activated. The 26-year-old has spent the majority of the season at Iowa, slashing .238/.332/.463 with 13 home runs and two stolen bases over 60 games.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Rockies.

The Yankees' big sluggers were at their best in the seventh inning, as Stanton had the third of three consecutive homers, following Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. This was Stanton's third game in a row with a long ball, giving him 23 on the year. The slugger is up to a .245/.305/.495 slash line with 57 RBI, 41 runs scored and 13 doubles across 88 contests this season, which is decent production given his downward trend over the previous two campaigns.

O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

O'Hearn has gone 1-for-16 over his past six games and will sit Sunday against Houston lefty Yusei Kikuchi. Eloy Jimenez is batting fifth as the designated hitter in the series finale against the Astros.

Alvarez (neck) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It's the third straight game on the bench for Alvarez as he continues to battle neck discomfort. The 27-year-old should continue to be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener at Philadelphia. Mauricio Dubon, Chas McCormick and Ben Gamel will start across the outfield Sunday while Yainer Diaz serves as the designated hitter.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run Saturday in an extra-inning loss to the Rays.

One day after belting a walk-off grand slam to become the sixth member of the 40-40 club in MLB history, Ohtani went deep again with a two-run shot to right field in the fifth inning. The slugger has hit home runs four times during his current seven-game hitting streak, during which he's added eight RBI, five stolen bases and eight runs while slashing .345/.406/.828. The only MLB players to reach 40 home runs so far this season are Ohtani and Aaron Judge, who is one long ball away from 50.
