Cabrera is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Cincinnati.

An 0-for-3, two-walk performance Saturday lowered Cabrera's average to .273 with two home runs, six RBI and six walks in his last 10 games. With no designated hitter in play, he takes a seat while Jonathan Schoop mans first base.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Marlins on Saturday.

McCutchen's fourth-inning solo shot accounted for the first run of the game and looked like it would stand up until Miami put up three runs in the eighth frame to snatch the victory. The veteran outfielder has been on a hot streak of late, going 6-for-15 with a pair of homers and eight RBI over his past four games. Though he's long past the days of being a .300 hitter, McCutchen has shown that he still has pop in his bat with 23 long balls on the campaign -- his most since the 2017 season.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and was caught stealing in a 4-1 win over Texas on Saturday.

One night after getting the win on the mound, Ohtani extended Los Angeles' lead to 4-0 with a 426-foot bomb to right off Texas starter Kolby Allard in the sixth inning and later singled in the eighth but was caught stealing second. The phenom's MLB-leading 43rd long ball snapped an 0-for-10 skid at the plate, though his ninth caught stealing also leads the majors.

Turner went 1-for-3 with two runs, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout in Saturday's 6-1 triumph over San Francisco.

Turner contributed to a three-run first inning by walking, stealing second and scoring and later singled and scored in the sixth. The theft was only his second all season, though both have come since the beginning of August, and the veteran third baseman has compiled a solid 7-for-19 span at the dish over his past five games.

Alvarez (knee) underwent X-rays on Saturday that came back negative, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez was diagnosed with a left knee contusion after exiting Saturday's game against San Diego, and he doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage. Manager Dusty Baker is optimistic that the 24-year-old won't require a trip to the injured list, so he should be considered day-to-day.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 loss to Toronto.

After an underwhelming August, Canha has started to regain his composure at the plate by posting an eight-game hitting streak. He's gone 10-for-31 (.323) with four homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in that stretch, with all four long balls coming in his last five contests. The 32-year-old's slash line is at .239/.365/.415 with 16 homers, 53 RBI, 81 runs scored and 12 stolen bases through 518 plate appearances overall.

Alvarez suffered a left knee contusion in Saturday's game against the Padres, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez had to be helped off the field after he fouled a ball off his left knee Saturday, and he's considered day-to-day. The 24-year-old will likely be evaluated to determine the extent of the issue, but it doesn't appear as though he's dealing with a serious injury.

Alvarez exited Saturday's game against the Padres with an apparent leg injury, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez went down after fouling a ball off his left leg in the top of the fifth inning, and he needed some assistance to get off the field. He went 1-for-1 with a walk prior to his departure, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's series finale in San Diego.

Reyes went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

With Cleveland down to its final out, Reyes was summoned off the bench to hit for Yu Chang. Facing Adam Ottavino, Reyes got down to his final strike before absolutely demolishing a hanging slider over the Green Monster to tie the game at three. While Boston went on to win the game, the swing had to feel good for the 26-year-old, as he entered play mired in a 1-for-19 slump over his last five games.

Dickerson was placed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday.

Dickerson wasn't likely to start Saturday against lefty Julio Urias, but he'll now be out until at least Sept. 14. Whether or not he'll miss additional time beyond that point is not yet clear. Mauricio Dubon was recalled to take his place on the roster.
