Larnach isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Larnach will step out of the starting nine Tuesday after beginning the second half 2-for-11 through four games. Ryan Jeffers will replace him as Minnesota's DH, allowing Christian Vazquez to start behind the dish.

Pederson (hand) resumed taking live batting practice Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Pederson is expected to take another round of batting practice Wednesday, and if everything goes smoothly, he could be sent out on a rehab assignment shortly thereafter. Given that he's been on the shelf since May 25 due to a right hand fracture, Pederson could require multiple games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate, though manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that he doesn't expect the 33-year-old's assignment to last very long.

Devers will start at first base and bat third in Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Devers has gone through workouts at first base since joining the Giants, but this will be his first start at a position other than third base in his pro career. It will be his first time playing anywhere on the field in 2025, as each of his first 102 starts between the Red Sox and Giants came at designated hitter.

McCutchen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

McCutchen appears to be getting a routine breather after he had started in each of the Bucs' first four games out of the All-Star break while going 4-for-15 with a double and two walks. Bryan Reynolds will get a day off from patrolling right field and will replace McCutchen at designated hitter.

The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Young had been recalled by the Mets on July 11 but saw only one plate appearance during his latest stint in the majors. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Starling Marte's (knee) return from the 10-day injured list.

The Mets activated Marte (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Marte missed two weeks of action with a right knee bruise, but he will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back on the Mets' 26-man active roster. The 36-year-old is expected to be used primarily as a designated hitter, though he could occasionally see playing time in left field if Brandon Nimmo requires a day off.

While Suzuki started in center field Monday with Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) out of the lineup, the team would like to add depth at the position before the trade deadline and not rely on Suzuki to fill in, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Monday marked Suzuki's first career MLB appearance in center field, as he's primarily played in right or served as the DH for the Cubs since coming over from Japan in 2022. The team started him there out of necessity with Crow-Armstrong's sore knee keeping him out of the lineup, but Chicago seems likely to target a veteran center fielder before the deadline to provide insurance. When fully healthy, the Cubs will roll out Ian Happ, Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker from left to right most days, with Suzuki sliding back into the DH role. The latter has excelled in that role this year, as his 26 home runs and 80 RBI are both among the top six in the majors.

Flores went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 9-5 loss to Atlanta.

The 33-year-old first baseman got the starting nod against right-hander Bryce Elder and lined a double to right field in the second inning before coming around to score. Flores later added a single in the fourth, marking his third multi-hit effort over his last seven games. During that span, he's slashed .320/.370/.360 with two runs scored and one double across 27 plate appearances.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Monday against the White Sox.

Diaz slugged his 16th home run of the season in the seventh inning to continue his strong performance in July. He's hit .306 across 72 plate appearances during the month with three homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs.

Ohtani allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over three innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Monday. He also went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run as a batter in the contest.

Ohtani completed three innings on the mound as originally scheduled, and he helped himself out with early run support by going yard in the bottom of the first inning after allowing a leadoff blast to Byron Buxton in the top of the frame. While Ohtani gave up a run for the first time since his season debut June 16 versus the Padres, this was another positive outing for the two-way superstar, who has a 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB over 12 innings through six starts. He stretched out to 46 pitches (30 strikes) Monday, up from 36 pitches in his previous start July 12. He's also up to 35 homers, 67 RBI, 94 runs scored, 13 stolen bases and a .275/.379/.614 slash line over 99 contests as a batter. The Dodgers have not yet announced when Ohtani's next start will be, but it is expected to be on the road, either at Boston this weekend or in Cincinnati early next week.
