Sheets went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and two doubles in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds.

Sheets gave the Padres a 6-4 lead in the seventh inning with a 422-foot blast that held up as the game-winning play. It was the 29-year-old's first homer since June 14, and he snapped a 3-for-18 slump over his previous five games. He's now slashing .265/.322/.470 with 13 long balls, 49 RBI, 33 runs scored and one steal across 295 plate appearances in what's shaping up to be a career-best campaign.

Soler (back) took batting practice on the field Saturday and said he could be activated from the injured list soon, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

This was the first time Soler has participated in batting practice since he landed on the injured list June 20. The veteran outfielder also said that he's been doing defensive drills and running, so he appears to be closing in on a return -- possibly when he's first eligible Monday. While Soler has been out of action, LaMonte Wade and Gustavo Campero have been logging starts in right field.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that the team plans to have Ohtani pitch into the second inning Saturday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

In both of Ohtani's first two starts, he completed exactly one inning, tossing 28 pitches in the first of those appearances and 18 in the second. Though Roberts stated that Ohtani could get a chance to exceed one frame Saturday, that will likely depend on how hard he has to work in the first inning. It's unlikely that the two-way superstar will go beyond two frames, so he should not be expected to qualify for a win no matter how well he pitches.

Yoshida (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Mike Monaco of ESPN reports.

Yoshida is in the final stages of his recovery from offseason surgery on his right shoulder. He played exclusively at DH in 2024 but will get some reps in the outfield during his rehab in the minors. How Yoshida fairs early on in his rehab assignment will provide the Red Sox a better idea of when the 31-year-old will be able to return to the majors.

Polanco is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Rangers on Saturday.

Polanco will take a seat after going 1-for-4 with two walks and two RBI during Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win. Julio Rodriguez will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Randy Arozarena, Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone start in the outfield from left to right.

Flores went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Friday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Flores drove in the Giants' first run in the third inning with a double to left field. The 33-year-old tallied a much-needed hit after going 0-for-13 over his previous four games entering Friday's matchup. He's now slashing .243/.315/.389 with 55 RBI, 31 runs scored, 11 home runs and one stolen base across 311 plate appearances.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with two walks, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 13-0 rout of Atlanta.

The veteran slugger crushed a Michael Petersen cutter to right-center field in the third inning, the Phillies' fifth homer of the night and Schwarber's 25th of the season. Three of those long balls have come in the last eight games, a stretch in which he's batting .310 (9-for-29) with two of his seven steals on the year, as well as four RBI and eight runs.

Smith went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Friday's 9-8 loss to Miami.

Smith drew the Diamondbacks closer with a two-run single in the ninth inning, but the comeback stalled there. He's lifted his run production of late, knocking in 10 runs over the last eight games. That's a greater number of RBI than he had in the entire months of May/April or May. For the season, Smith has 27 RBI across 73 contests.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, two walks and three total runs scored in Friday's 15-9 win over the Angels.

Bell was one of two Nationals limited to one hit, but he made it count, opening the scoring with a second-inning homer. He also tied the game with an RBI groundout in the fifth. The 32-year-old is 13-for-49 (.265) with four extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last 14 games. For the season, he's maintained a mediocre .194/.282/.355 slash line with 11 homers, 31 RBI, 26 runs scored, four doubles and one triple across 70 contests.

Ohtani went 2-for-3 with a triple, a home run, two walks and two RBI during Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

The 29th home run of Ohtani's season led off the game, and he added his seventh triple of the season as well. The 30-year-old has now had at least one hit in five straight games, going 7-for-17 over that stretch with two triples, four home runs and 10 RBI. The reigning NL MVP is putting together another fantastic campaign, slashing .295/.396/.649 in 81 games this year.
