Alvarez (finger) remains out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Red Sox.

Alvarez was scratched Tuesday after injuring his left index finger when he slammed a door on his hand at home. Astros manager Dusty Baker said it should only be a day-to-day type of issue, which suggests that the big slugger might be able to return in full for Thursday's series finale against Boston. Yainer Diaz is filling the DH role for Houston on Wednesday.

Angels manager Phil Nevin said that Ohtani will not be under any workload restrictions in his return to the mound Wednesday versus the Reds, Brandon Deutsch of The Sporting Tribune reports.

It will be Ohtani's first start as a pitcher in two weeks, as he had his last outing skipped due to some fatigue. Wednesday's outing will be treated as a normal one, though, so fantasy managers don't have to worry about the superstar's workload being truncated.

Ford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Ford had served as the Mariners' designated hitter in each of the past three games, but he'll cede those duties to Dominic Canzone in the series finale. Until the Mariners get Jarred Kelenic (foot) back from the injured list, the Mariners should have two spots in the everyday lineup for Ford, Canzone and Cade Marlowe. Ford and Canzone are swinging the hotter bats of the three at the moment and may have an edge on playing time over Marlowe.

Belt went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Orioles.

Belt led off the 10th inning with a two-run shot off Mike Baumann, putting the Blue Jays ahead 5-3 in an eventual three-run win. The homer was Belt's third in his last two games. Since the start of August, he's batting .321 (18-for-56) with six home runs and a 1.155 OPS across 16 games. Overall, Belt's slash line is up to a .255/.372/.473 slash line with 14 homers, 45 runs scored and 36 RBI in 352 plate appearances this season.

Ford went 2-for-2 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Ford was a late fill-in for Julio Rodriguez (illness) and made good use of the spot start, producing his first multi-hit effort since July 18. The multiple trips on the basepaths also pushed Ford's OBP back over the .300 mark (.307) for the season, and he appears to be slowly trending back up following a prolonged slump. He's hitting a respectable .263 and striking out a modest 16.7 percent of the time over his last six games.

Turner served as the designated hitter and went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Astros.

Turner was back in the lineup after receiving Monday off. He's been nursing a bruised heel and had been asked to play the field, something manager Alex Cora is trying to avoid, for consecutive games over the weekend.

Ford will bat eighth and serve as the designated hitter Tuesday against the White Sox.

Ford was a late addition to the lineup after Julio Rodriguez (illness) was scratched. He has only three hits across 28 at-bats since the start of August while striking out at a 27.3 percent clip.

Alvarez was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Red Sox with a left index finger injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

He injured his finger in a door at his home Tuesday. Manager Dusty Baker said he hopes to have Alvarez back in the lineup Wednesday. Yainer Diaz was added to the starting nine in his place.

Rooker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-4 victory versus the Royals.

After hitting his 20th homer of the season Sunday, Rooker followed with No. 21 a day later. The long ball proved to be the difference in the contest, as it came in the ninth inning and broke a 4-4 tie. Rooker struggled at the plate early in August, but he's been coming on of late, batting .346 (9-for-26) with two homers, four RBI and five runs over his past seven games.

Turner is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic.

Turner had a big weekend series against the Yankees, but he will get some rest after starting two straight games at first base.
