Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani will make his next start as a pitcher Wednesday versus the Rockies at Coors Field and will be targeted for five innings, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Through his first nine starts as a pitcher coming back from September 2023 Tommy John surgery, Ohtani has turned in a stellar 3.47 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 32:5 K:BB across 23.1 innings, but because he hasn't worked at least five frames in any outing, he has yet to qualify for a win. Assuming he's able to avoid a blowup at Coors Field and reaches the five-inning benchmark, Ohtani should have a good chance at coming away with his first win of the season if he's able to exit the game with the Dodgers in the lead. Ohtani will continue to serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter Wednesday, though Roberts is contemplating giving the two-way superstar a breather for a day game in Thursday's series finale.

Andujar is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.

Andujar saw his eight-game hitting streak come to a halt against the Brewers on Sunday, when he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. He has hit well since the All-Star break, posting a 1.060 OPS with 11 runs, six homers and 16 RBI in 77 plate appearances over that span. Andujar will begin Monday's game on the bench while Gavin Lux serves as the designated hitter and Matt McLain starts at second base.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Smith (oblique) from the 10-day injured list, and he is starting at first base and batting fifth against the Guardians on Monday.

Smith has spent the last six weeks recovering from a right oblique strain that landed him on the 10-day IL in early July. He ended his rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on a strong note, going 2-for-3 with two walks, two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's contest. Smith will get the start at first base over Tyler Locklear on Monday, and the former could also work in rotation with Adrian Del Castillo at DH.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

Devers singled in the sixth inning before coming around to score and added another base hit in the seventh. With that, the 28-year-old delivered his third multi-hit performance over 15 appearances in August. He has tallied at least one hit in six consecutive games, slashing .269/.269/.423 with two runs scored, one home run and one double across 26 plate appearances during that span.

Hays went 2-for-5 with a run, a double and an RBI single during Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Milwaukee.

Hays walked it off for the Reds in the bottom of the 10th by smacking a groundball to left field, which brought TJ Friedl home and snapped the Brewers' 14-game winning streak. Sunday marked Hays' 19th multi-hit game of the season, and he has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with five runs and three RBI over his last five starts.

The Nationals are expected to recall Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mets, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Washington optioned Jose Tena to Rochester after Sunday's loss to the Phillies, and Chaparro is poised to fill the open roster spot. Chaparro began the season on the injured list due to an oblique injury and has seen action in just four big-league games in 2025. He's been productive at Triple-A, however, and has a .268/.377/.575 slash line with 14 homers in 47 games.

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

The right-handed-hitting Flores will hit the bench for a fourth straight game, with the Giants having faced right-handed pitchers in each of those contests. He appears to have faded into the short side of a platoon with the left-handed-hitting Dominic Smith, who has started in all four games.

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

Del Castillo started in seven of the past eight games while going 8-for-29 (.276 average) with two home runs, four doubles, seven RBI and three runs. With Del Castillo on the bench Sunday, Lourdes Gurriel will serve as Arizona's designated hitter, and Jose Herrera will receive a start behind the plate.

McCutchen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

McCutchen will head to the bench for the second time in four contests as the Pirates wrap up their series in Chicago with a matinee game. Bryan Reynolds will get a day off from playing the outfield and occupy McCutchen's usual spot at designated hitter.

Del Castillo went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to Colorado.

Del Castillo made the most of his opportunities at altitude, notching his second three-RBI performance in the last week. The catcher has appeared in 20 games since being called up after the All-Star break, seeing most of his action at DH and batting .239 (16-for-67) with two homers and 10 RBI.
