Ozuna (wrist) is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Tigers.

Ozuna took a pitch off his right wrist in Monday's series opener against Detroit, but X-rays showed no fractures and he is considered day-to-day. Eddie Rosario will grab a turn at designated hitter Tuesday with Kevin Pillar patrolling left field.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and four RBI in Monday's 9-6 win over the Rangers in 12 innings.

Ohtani came up big in the clutch late in Monday's series opener, with his seventh-inning solo blast tying the game at 5-5. He then gave the Angels the lead in the top of the 12th, sending a Cole Ragans offering to the opposite field for a two-run home run. The long ball was his eighth in the last 13 games and his 20th overall of the season, allowing him to overtake the Yankees' Aaron Judge for the MLB lead.

Vogelbach remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Yankees.

Vogelbach, who's slashing just .203/.343/.297 on the year, has now gone five straight games without a start. Tommy Pham will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and bat seventh Tuesday against the Yankees and right-hander Luis Severino.

Vientos is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

Tommy Pham will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and Mark Canha will cover first base in the opening game of the Subway Series. Brett Baty is at third. Vientos, 23, has slashed just .167/.200/.238 in 15 games (45 plate appearances) since being called up from Triple-A Syracuse on May 17.

Ozuna was removed from Monday's game as a precaution due to a right wrist contusion.

Ozuna, who was pulled after getting hit by a pitch in his second at-bat Monday, appears to have avoided a serious injury. It's possible Atlanta keeps him out of the lineup Tuesday in order for him to heal, but he figures to be back within a few days. Ozuna is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak and is hitting .414 with two home runs and three doubles over that stretch.

Ozuna was removed from Monday's game against the Tigers after getting hit by a pitch, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Ozuna initially remained in the game after taking a pitch to the hand/wrist, but Travis d'Arnaud later pinch-hit for him. Atlanta has yet to offer any details regarding Ozuna's injury, but he did seem to be in quite a bit of pain immediately after getting hit. He should be considered day-to-day until more is known.

Ford will sit Monday against the Marlins.

Ford will take a seat as Seattle faces off with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the mound. AJ Pollock will replace him at designated hitter and bat sixth in the series opener with Miami.

Pederson is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Cardinals.

He will take a seat as the Giants face off with left-hander Matthew Liberatore on the mound. Pederson had started six games in a row -- all against righties -- but he has not started against a lefty all season.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Lewis (illness) from the 10-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Lewis is evidently over the undiclosed illness which has kept him sidelined since early April. However, the Diamondbacks decided they don't have a spot for him on the major-league club right now, so he'll remain in Reno, where he had been on his rehab assignment.

Solak was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Solak was claimed off waivers last Friday and recalled Saturday but didn't receive a plate appearance. He's clearing out to make room for the return of Matt Vierling from the injured list.
