Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Miami.

Ozuna went four games without a homer, going 3-for-17 with nine strikeouts and no extra-base hits in that span. The 33-year-old slugger remains in second place in the National League for homers with 32 this year, one behind the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani. For the season, Ozuna has added a stellar .300/.374/.583 slash line, 86 RBI, 69 runs scored, 20 doubles and no stolen bases through 110 contests.

McCutchen was removed from Saturday's contest against the Diamondbacks with left quadriceps tightness.

McCutchen notched a leadoff single off Slade Cecconi to open the bottom of the sixth inning before being removed for a pinch runner. McCutchen may have tweaked his quad running to first base, though the team said he was removed from the contest out of precaution. The 37-year-old finished his night 1-for-3 from the plate and can be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's series finale.

Blackmon (head) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Padres.

Blackmon left Friday's 5-2 loss early after being struck in the face with an errant throw from San Diego's Xander Bogaerts, and Blackmon will now take a seat in Saturday's matchup. With left-hander Martin Perez on the mound, it's possible that Blackmon would've taken a seat anyway, so it's unclear if the injury or the matchup is the reason for his absence. Kris Bryant will slot in at designated hitter while Sam Hilliard enters the lineup in right field and bats ninth against San Diego.

Ramirez isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Ramirez will get a breather Saturday after going 8-for-24 with six RBI and four runs scored over his last six games. Travis Blankenhorn will fill in as Washington's designated hitter and bat sixth.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a walk and two runs scored Friday against the Diamondbacks.

McCutchen turned in his first multi-hit game since July 19, and he's hit .234 across his last 12 games. He's still managed respectable production during that span, tallying six RBI and eight runs scored. McCutchen remains locked into the leadoff spot and has started 17 of Pittsburgh's last 18 games.

Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

Ohtani had gone 0-for-11 over his previous three games and was hitless through four at-bats Friday. He went deep in the ninth inning to get the Dodgers within a run, but they couldn't find a tying run. The brief slump had little impact on Ohtani's season-long numbers -- he's still at a stellar .308/.398/.630 slash line with 33 long balls, 28 stolen bases, 79 RBI and 84 runs scored through 107 contests.

Blackmon was removed from Friday's game against the Padres after getting hit in the head by a throw, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

An errant throw from Xander Bogaerts connected with Blackmon's face as he was running toward first base in the third inning. The 38-year-old outfielder was able to walk off the field on his own, but he'll likely be evaluated for a concussion in the Rockies' clubhouse.

Bryant isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Bryant has gone 5-for-22 with two RBI and four runs scored in six games since returning from the injured list July 23. He'll get a breather for Thursday's series finale while Sam Hilliard, Brenton Doyle and Jake Cave start across the Rockies' outfield.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Pederson will hit the bench for a third straight game, with all of those absences coming against southpaws. The 32-year-old continues to be deployed as a strict platoon player, but he's raked against righties this season, slashing .286/.387/.532 (155 wRC+) in those matchups.

Ohtani went 0-for-4 with a walk, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Though Ohtani was hitless for a second straight game, he managed to swipe a bag for the fourth consecutive contest. He's already reached a career-high mark with 28 steals on the season and not only should easily reach 30 thefts for the first time but has a legitimate chance to get to 40. With 32 homers on the campaign, Ohtani is threatening to record the sixth 40-40 season in MLB history.
