The Reds designated Soto for assignment Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Soto was moved off the 40-man roster after the Reds acquired right-hander Jakob Junis and outfielder Joey Weimer from the Brewers while sending right-hander Frankie Montas to Milwaukee. The 24-year-old Soto had gone hitless in three plate appearances during his brief time with the Reds this season.

Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Brewers.

He opened the scoring in the game by taking Colin Rea deep in the fourth inning. Ozuna has homered in three of the last four games, boosting his total on the season to 31. Over the last 15 games he's slashing a blistering .382/.452/.818 with eight home runs, 10 RBI and 13 runs.

Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Carpenter has essentially been a bench bat throughout July, and with the Cardinals looking to buy ahead of the trade deadline, his role may be further reduced down the stretch. The 38-year-old is slashing just .255/.322/.377 with three homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and four doubles across 118 plate appearances this season. Alec Burleson and Willson Contreras continue to see most of the playing time at designated hitter, and Carpenter's in no position to challenge Paul Goldschmidt for first base.

Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 8-3 loss to Milwaukee.

Ozuna has homered in three of the last four games, and he's hit 10 long balls over 23 contests in July. The designated hitter is up to 31 homers, 83 RBI, 66 runs scored, 20 doubles and a .306/.384/.596 slash line through 105 games this season. Atlanta's trade for Jorge Soler from San Francisco on Monday shouldn't have much of an effect on Ozuna, as Soler will likely be the one to pick up playing time in the outfield.

Atlanta acquired Soler and right-hander Luke Jackson from San Francisco on Monday in exchange for left-hander Tyler Matzek (elbow) and infielder Sabin Ceballos, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Soler will head back to Atlanta, where he was a part of the team's postseason run and ultimate World Series championship in 2021 after being acquired at the trade deadline from Kansas City. The 32-year-old has produced a .240 batting average with 12 home runs, 40 RBI, 57 runs scored and one stolen base over 341 at-bats in 93 games with the Giants this season. Soler has also been running hot as of late, going 11-for-18 with a home run, five RBI and eight runs scored over his last five games. He's operated primarily as a designated hitter in 2024, but with Marcell Ozuna holding down that role in Atlanta, it's possible that Soler is asked to play some more in the corner outfield with his new club.

Ramirez will serve as the Nationals' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Ramirez will draw his second consecutive start at designated hitter and should see an uptick in playing time after Jesse Winker was traded to the Mets on Saturday and Lane Thomas was shipped to the Guardians on Monday. Since signing with Washington in mid-June and getting called up to the big club, Ramirez is slashing .319/.333/.468 with one home run and 13 RBI in 16 games.

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

The lefty-hitting Pederson will retreat to the bench while the Nationals send southpaw Mitchell Parker to the hill. Randal Grichuk will serve as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter while Pederson takes a seat.

McCutchen isn't in the starting lineup for the Pirates' series opener against the Astros on Monday.

McCutchen will retreat to the bench Monday while Joey Bart serves as the designated hitter and bats fifth against Houston right-hander Jake Bloss. McCutchen has been in the midst of quiet July, having slashed .197/.307/.355 with two home runs and four RBI across 80 plate appearances on the month.

Ohtani went 0-for-4 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-2 win against the Astros.

Though Ohtani had a three-game multi-hit streak snapped, he extended his streak of contests with a stolen base to three. The slugger has elevated his acumen on the basepaths to even greater heights this season, as he's already set a career high with 27 steals while getting caught just four times. Of course, Ohtani has excelled in other ways as well, slashing .314/.404/.639 with 32 home runs, 76 RBI and 82 runs in what has been an MVP-caliber campaign so far.

Soler went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Soler posted a trio of three-hit games during this weekend's four-game series versus the Rockies, going 9-for-15 with four RBI and three walks in that span. The slugger has batted .359 (14-for-39) over 11 contests since the All-Star break, though it helps that the Giants have faced the Rockies in seven of those games. For the season, he's up to a .240/.330/.419 slash line through 93 contests.
