Andujar is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Monday.

Andujar will be on the bench for the start of Monday's series opener while Gavin Lux serves as the designated hitter and Matt McLain starts at second base. Andujar is out of the Reds' starting nine for the third time in four games despite slashing .358/.424/.623 with three homers and 11 RBI in 18 games since being acquired by the Reds from the Athletics in late July.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Santander (shoulder) has rejoined the Blue Jays in Toronto and has progressed to hitting off high-velocity pitching machines, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Santander's activation from the 60-day injured list isn't imminent, but he's finally making tangible progress as he works his way back from a subluxation of his left shoulder. The switch hitter will require a rehab assignment before returning from the IL, and it's uncertain when he'll be cleared for game action in the minors.

Trout is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

After missing a pair of games to begin August while he recovered from an illness, Trout started in each of the Angels' ensuing 19 contests and slashed .231/.383/.323 with one home run, five RBI and 12 runs. He looks to be receiving a pre-planned rest day Monday after a rough weekend series against the Cubs in which he went 0-for-10 with seven strikeouts. Logan O'Hoppe will replace Trout in the lineup as the Angels' designated hitter.

Herrera is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Herrera had started every game since the last contest of the first half, but he will receive a well-earned break as the Cardinals open up a series versus the Pirates. The 25-year-old's absence from the lineup comes after he posted a meager .437 OPS across his last 17 contests. Willson Contreras will serve as the team's designated hitter Monday.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Stanton will get a breather after he started in right field in the final two games of the Yankees' weekend series versus Boston while going 3-for-7 with a solo home run, one double and two additional runs between the contests. His move to the bench for the series opener versus Washington clears a spot in the outfield for Jasson Dominguez.

Winker (back) has yet to resume baseball activities, and he's running out of time to complete any sort of progression that would allow him to play again this season, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

The 32-year-old was originally shut down May 5 with an oblique strain, and his return in early July lasted just three plate appearances before his back became an issue. Given that it's been over three months since Winker saw regular game action in the majors, he would likely need a lengthy rehab stint before being ready to help the Mets' playoff push. As a result, he may have played his last game for the team, as he'll become a free agent this winter.

Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Padres.

Ohtani provided some insurance with a homer in the ninth inning. After missing one game due to a bruised thigh, Ohtani had a quiet weekend series versus the Padres -- his homer Sunday was his lone hit over 11 at-bats across the last three games. He's still batting .342 (26-for-76) with seven homers and 11 RBI over 21 contests in August. For the season, he's at 45 homers, 84 RBI, 122 runs scored, 17 stolen bases and a .280/.389/.619 slash line in 128 contests.

Polanco went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Athletics.

Polanco picked up his first steal since Aug. 6 versus the White Sox. The infielder is up to six steals on eight attempts this season, his most thefts in any of the last four years. He's added a .247/.314/.444 slash line with 19 home runs, 55 RBI, 47 runs scored and 15 doubles. Polanco is batting just .228 (13-for-57) with three extra-base hits over 18 contests this month.

Yoshida is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

For the second time in the series, the left-handed-hitting Yoshida will bow out of the lineup while the Yankees send a left-handed pitcher (Carlos Rodon) to the bump. With Yoshida on the bench, Roman Anthony will serve as the Red Sox's designated hitter, and Jhostynxon Garcia will pick up a start in right field.

Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Since joining the Reds on July 31 after being acquired from the Athletics, Andujar is slashing a sizzling .358/.414/.623 with three home runs in his first 17 games with his new team. He should continue to occupy a prominent spot in the heart of the lineup whenever he starts, but Andujar will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Reds use Austin Hays at designated hitter and Gavin Lux, TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte at the outfield spots.
