Marte started at designated hitter for a third consecutive game and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

It appears manager Torey Lovullo is managing Marte, who has no reported injury. Tender hamstrings have been a recurring feature throughout Marte's career, and he missed a month of action earlier this season because of a hamstring issue. Having him DH appears to be a ploy that can get his bat in the lineup while also giving younger players, like Jordan Lawlar and Blaze Alexander, plate appearances.

Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Yankees.

The Chicago infielder gave his team a lead it didn't surrender with a 418-foot solo shot off New Yorker reliever Tim Hill in the eighth. The long ball caps a breakout power month for Sosa in August, as he hit .241 with eight homers, 20 RBI and 13 runs scored in 27 games. The 25-year-old should continue to occupy a key lineup spot thanks to his 18 homers, 61 RBI, 45 runs scored and .735 OPS through 457 total plate appearances.

Holliday went 1-for-2 with an RBI double, three walks, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 13-2 loss to the Giants.

Holliday prevented the Orioles from being shut out when he hit an RBI double in the ninth inning. He's gone 6-for-14 (.429) over his last four games while adding three extra-base hits and two steals in that span. The 21-year-old is up to 14 steals on 23 attempts while adding 15 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored, 19 doubles, three triples and a .246/.313/.384 slash line through 128 games this season.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's win over Washington.

Lowe ripped a grand slam during the Rays' six-run second inning. It was his 28th long ball of the year and fourth in his last eight games. He leads all MLB second basemen in home runs and RBI (71) this season. Lowe owns a .264/.319/.493 slash line through 113 games and is approaching his first 30-homer campaign since 2021.

Schneemann went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle.

The Guardians utility man started at second before eventually shifting to third and snapped a 19-game long-ball draught in this contest. Schneeman cracked a 408-foot, two-run homer off Mariners starter Bryce Miller in the third to tally his team's only runs of the game. Schneeman, who is in a strong-side platoon role, is now slashing .220/.301/.381 with 11 homers, eight steals, 41 runs scored and 34 RBI across 357 total plate appearances.

Schmitt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Christian Koss will fill in for Schmitt at second base in the series finale. Schmitt will get a chance to clear his head after he slashed just .170/.235/.340 with a 25.5 percent strikeout rate while starting in each of the Giants' last 12 games.

Hoerner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Hoerner will receive a breather after starting 11 straight games while slashing .275/.333/.425 with a home run, a stolen base, six RBI and six runs. Willi Castro will step in for Hoerner at the keystone.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

The versatile Dubon will hit the bench after starting 11 straight games across three different positions. His last two starts came in center field, where he could end up seeing the bulk of his playing time until Jake Meyers (calf) is ready to return from the injured list.

India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The Royals will hold India out of the lineup for the second day in a row while he's stuck in a 5-for-32 slump. Michael Massey will step in for India at the keystone.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

The left-handed-hitting Garcia was included in the lineup for Wednesday's 11-2 loss to the Yankees while New York sent southpaw Max Fried to the hill, but the infielder will hit the bench Sunday versus Rays lefty Ian Seymour. With Garcia out of the lineup, Paul DeJong will receive the starting nod at the keystone.
