McCutchen isn't in the lineup for Thursday's contest in St. Louis.

The Pirates are giving Bryan Reynolds a start in the designated hitter slot while Jack Suwinski plays left field and Michael Taylor handles center field. McCutchen has struggled in his career against the Cardinals' starting pitcher for Thursday's game, Lance Lynn, going 13-for-57 with a 21:1 K:BB.

Carpenter is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.

Carpenter has been seeing most of the starts in the designated-hitter spot for the Cardinals versus righties since Lars Nootbaar (oblique) went on the injured list, resulting in Alec Burleson playing regularly in right field. However, Carpenter will begin Thursday's contest on the bench against right-hander Mitch Keller. Nolan Arenado will serve as St. Louis' DH while Jose Fermin replaces Arenado at third base.

Soler went 2-for-2 with two walks and one run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Astros.

Soler has found some success at the plate in June, going 11-for-37 (.297) over 10 contests this month. He's also drawn four walks over his last three games, though his 9.6 percent walk rate is still his lowest since 2015. While it's a positive to see the designated hitter make more consistent contact, he's still struggling to hit for power. He's batting .217 with a .661 OPS, seven home runs, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 56 games this season. Soler's lowest OPS in a season is .503 in 2017, but he played in just 35 games that year.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

The lefty-hitting Carpenter will hit the bench Wednesday while the Pirates bring southpaw Bailey Falter to the hill. With Carpenter taking a seat, Alec Burleson will get a day out of the outfield and serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter while Dylan Carlson steps in as St. Louis' starting right fielder.

Peralta is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Manny Machado remains limited to designated hitter duties after missing out on four straight starts last week due to a hip flexor strain, so the Padres won't have room in the lineup for Peralta for the third contest in a row. Once Machado is cleared to play regularly at third base again, Peralta will likely form a platoon at designated hitter with Donovan Solano.

Ohtani went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer, two walks, a steal and three runs scored in Tuesday's 15-2 win over the Rangers. He also reached via a hit by pitch.

Ohtani kickstarted a four-homer sixth inning by the Dodgers with a two-run blast off Grant Anderson. He also tallied his 15th steal of the year, becoming the first player in baseball this season to tally 15 home runs and 15 steals. Ohtani continues to be one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball and is now slashing .312/.384/.581 with 16 homers, 43 RBI, 50 runs and a 30:62 BB:K in 294 plate appearances.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox.

The veteran slugger led off the game with a deep blast to right field off Kutter Crawford, then did it again to lead off the fifth. Schwarber's June exploits have become legendary -- per Paul Casella of MLB.com, he's averaging one homer every 10.4 at-bats in his career during the month, the best pace in MLB history ahead of Babe Ruth's 10.6. Schwarber's current groove extends back to late May, and over his last 12 games he's slashing .277/.382/.532 with four long balls and seven RBI.

Burleson went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

There wasn't much for the hitters early in this contest, but Burleson was able to account for two of the five runs on Pittsburgh starter Paul Skenes' line. Through 10 games in June, Burleson is batting .286 (12-for-42) with five extra-base hits. He continues to be consistent for the Cardinals with a .283/.314/.455 slash line, nine home runs, 24 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases over 58 contests this season. Four of his homers have come in June.

Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Tuesday's game against Oakland, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Peralta went 5-for-12 with two RBI and scored three runs during San Diego's last series against Arizona, but he will sit for the second game in a row Tuesday as the A's prepare to send out left-hander JP Sears to start the game. Manny Machado will fill in as the Friars' DH, allowing Donovan Solano to start at third base, batting fifth.

Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

Pederson will retreat to the bench Tuesday as left-hander Jose Suarez prepares to take the mound for Los Angeles. Blaze Alexander will instead serve as Arizona's DH while batting eighth.
