Sanchez isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game against San Francisco.

Sanchez went 3-for-6 with a homer and five RBI during Milwaukee's previous series against the Athletics, and he'll now get a breather to open the Brewers' three-game set against the Giants. In his place, Jake Bauers will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Heading into Tuesday's game, Pederson has appeared in the last seven games, going 5-for-21 with a home run and seven walks. However, with left-hander Sean Manaea on the mound for the Mets, Pederson will begin the game on the bench. In his designated hitter spot, Randal Grichuk has the start and is batting fifth.

Carpenter will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Monday's game against the Padres.

Carpenter has been the main beneficiary thus far of the Cardinals' decision to demote the struggling Nolan Gorman to Triple-A Memphis last Wednesday. With Gorman out of the mix, Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson have been seeing most of their starts lately at second base and in left field, respectively, leaving the DH spot available for Carpenter. Though he'll be getting his fifth start in the Cardinals' last six matchups with right-handed pitchers, Carpenter has yet to do much with the opportunity. He's gone 0-for-11 with three walks over his last five contests.

Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Royals.

Schwarber's RBI double in the third inning brought in the first run of the game. He came around to score on an Alec Bohm single and later drove in another pair of runs. Schwarber had gone 13 straight games without multiple hits but has now done so in back-to-back games. He's produced an .868 OPS with 12 extra-base hits this month. Schwarber owns an .845 OPS with 45 extra-base knocks and 82 RBI through 119 games this season.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

Martinez went deep off Martin Perez in the fourth for the first run of the game. Three of his last four hits over the last six games have left the yard. Martinez now has 61 RBI in his last 89 games, which is third in the National League over that span behind Kyle Schwarber and Shohei Ohtani. For the year, Martinez is slashing .251/.334/.440 with 15 homers, 62 RBI, 39 runs and a 41:118 BB:K in 407 plate appearances.

Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk during Sunday's 4-3 loss against the A's.

Sanchez cleared the fence for the ninth time this season and has now driven in five runs and scored three over his last two starts. Sanchez has collected at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 starts while his .243 batting average on the season is the best he's posted since 2017 while with the Yankees.

Mervis (hand) was reinstated from Triple-A Iowa's 7-day injured list Tuesday and has gone 4-for-17 with five walks since rejoining the lineup.

Mervis missed about six-and-a-half weeks with a hand injury and didn't require a rehab assignment before being activated. The 26-year-old has spent the majority of the season at Iowa, slashing .238/.332/.463 with 13 home runs and two stolen bases over 60 games.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run Saturday in an extra-inning loss to the Rays.

One day after belting a walk-off grand slam to become the sixth member of the 40-40 club in MLB history, Ohtani went deep again with a two-run shot to right field in the fifth inning. The slugger has hit home runs four times during his current seven-game hitting streak, during which he's added eight RBI, five stolen bases and eight runs while slashing .345/.406/.828. The only MLB players to reach 40 home runs so far this season are Ohtani and Aaron Judge, who is one long ball away from 50.

Ohtani (elbow) threw 10 pitches off a bullpen mound Saturday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ohtani still won't pitch in 2024 but Saturday marks the first time he's thrown off a mound since undergoing Tommy John surgery in September of 2023. The milestone comes one day after he joined the 40-40 club with a walk-off grand slam. The 29-year-old is expected to be a cleared to pitch in time for spring training.

Sanchez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

Sanchez went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 11-3 win over the Athletics. For the month of August, he is slashing .313/.450/.500 with six runs scored, seven walks, one home run and eight RBI across 40 plate appearances. Rhys Hoskins will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth.
