Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a triple against the Astros in a 12-3 win Saturday.

Suzuki tripled and scored in the fourth inning and added a two-run homer in the eighth. The 30-year-old outfielder has been racking up extra-base hits this season -- among his 83 total knocks, 44 have gone for extra bases. Suzuki set a career high with his 22nd homer Saturday, and with 69 RBI he's very close to the career-best mark of 74 that he established in 2023.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a two-run single and a run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Mets.

McCutchen played a key role in the Pirates' six-run eighth inning, when he drove in a two-run single before coming around to score on a Bryan Reynolds two-run double. McCutchen has reached base safely in nine of his last 11 starts, and over that span he has gone 14-for-47 (.298) with two home runs and five RBI.

Sheets went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and two doubles in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds.

Sheets gave the Padres a 6-4 lead in the seventh inning with a 422-foot blast that held up as the game-winning play. It was the 29-year-old's first homer since June 14, and he snapped a 3-for-18 slump over his previous five games. He's now slashing .265/.322/.470 with 13 long balls, 49 RBI, 33 runs scored and one steal across 295 plate appearances in what's shaping up to be a career-best campaign.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that the team plans to have Ohtani pitch into the second inning Saturday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

In both of Ohtani's first two starts, he completed exactly one inning, tossing 28 pitches in the first of those appearances and 18 in the second. Though Roberts stated that Ohtani could get a chance to exceed one frame Saturday, that will likely depend on how hard he has to work in the first inning. It's unlikely that the two-way superstar will go beyond two frames, so he should not be expected to qualify for a win no matter how well he pitches.

Flores went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Friday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Flores drove in the Giants' first run in the third inning with a double to left field. The 33-year-old tallied a much-needed hit after going 0-for-13 over his previous four games entering Friday's matchup. He's now slashing .243/.315/.389 with 55 RBI, 31 runs scored, 11 home runs and one stolen base across 311 plate appearances.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with two walks, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 13-0 rout of Atlanta.

The veteran slugger crushed a Michael Petersen cutter to right-center field in the third inning, the Phillies' fifth homer of the night and Schwarber's 25th of the season. Three of those long balls have come in the last eight games, a stretch in which he's batting .310 (9-for-29) with two of his seven steals on the year, as well as four RBI and eight runs.

Smith went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Friday's 9-8 loss to Miami.

Smith drew the Diamondbacks closer with a two-run single in the ninth inning, but the comeback stalled there. He's lifted his run production of late, knocking in 10 runs over the last eight games. That's a greater number of RBI than he had in the entire months of May/April or May. For the season, Smith has 27 RBI across 73 contests.

Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, two walks and three total runs scored in Friday's 15-9 win over the Angels.

Bell was one of two Nationals limited to one hit, but he made it count, opening the scoring with a second-inning homer. He also tied the game with an RBI groundout in the fifth. The 32-year-old is 13-for-49 (.265) with four extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last 14 games. For the season, he's maintained a mediocre .194/.282/.355 slash line with 11 homers, 31 RBI, 26 runs scored, four doubles and one triple across 70 contests.

Ohtani went 2-for-3 with a triple, a home run, two walks and two RBI during Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

The 29th home run of Ohtani's season led off the game, and he added his seventh triple of the season as well. The 30-year-old has now had at least one hit in five straight games, going 7-for-17 over that stretch with two triples, four home runs and 10 RBI. The reigning NL MVP is putting together another fantastic campaign, slashing .295/.396/.649 in 81 games this year.

The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

With Mark Vientos (hamstring) back from the 10-day injured list, Young heads back to Triple-A. He's seen 44 plate appearances at the major-league level this season and has slashed .171/.227/.415 with three home runs, four RBI and four runs scored.
