Brooks is not in Thursday's lineup against the Dodgers.

Brooks sat against a lefty Tuesday but will now sit with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound Thursday. Jose Iglesias will enter the lineup as the designated hitter and bat seventh.

Herrera is not in the lineup for the second game Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Herrera started the previous 34 games but will take a seat for the second half of Thursday's twin bill. He went 2-for-4 with a run in the Cardinals' 5-4 win over the White Sox in the first game of the doubleheader.

Ohtani is scheduled to make his next start as a pitcher Sunday against the Nationals in Los Angeles.

Ohtani will begin his time as a two-way player with the Dodgers with a two-start pitching week, but just like when he made his mound debut in Monday's win over the Padres, the right-hander is expected to serve as an opener this Sunday. After tossing one inning and 28 pitches Monday, Ohtani could push up to the 2-to-3-inning range and toss around 40 pitches against the Nationals, though the Dodgers haven't provided official word on what his workload might look like. According to Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com, manager Dave Roberts did note that Ben Casparius would "most likely" pitch behind Ohtani again, after Casparius previously earned the win Monday while covering 3.2 innings out of the bullpen. The Dodgers' goal is for Ohtani to gradually get stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload without needing to be followed by a bulk reliever, though it will probably take him at least a couple more outings for him to get there.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Arizona is facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Eric Lauer) for the first time since June 6, so Smith will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed-hitting regular Alek Thomas. Randal Grichuk will step in at designated hitter in place of Smith, who hit .200 with one home run and two RBI while starting each of the last nine games.

Devers went 2-for-5 with an RBI double during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Devers made his Giants debut after being acquired from Boston on Sunday. The 28-year-old lined a double to right field in the third inning, giving San Francisco a 2-1 lead. He later added a single to left field in the ninth, marking his second straight multi-hit game. While he started at designated hitter Tuesday, Devers is expected to see time at first base, per Angelina Martin of NBC Sports Bay Area -- a position he declined to take reps at earlier this season with the Red Sox.

Herrera went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

Herrera collected a pair of two-RBI singles, and his night could have been even bigger if not for Michael Taylor robbing him of a home run to lead off the top of the fifth inning. The 25-year-old has now driven in 36 runs in just 41 games for the Cardinals this season. With Brendan Donovan moving up to the leadoff spot, Herrera appears to be cementing himself as St. Louis' new No. 3 hitter against right-handed pitching.

Smith went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Toronto.

Smith put Arizona on the board with a two-out, run-scoring single in the fourth inning. He's been largely unproductive since the middle of April, as the lefty hitter is batting .210 (25-for-119) with just nine RBI over the last 44 contests dating back to April 23. By the grace of a .406 BABIP, Smith has managed to bat .271 for the season, far outpacing a .223 expected batting average.

Brooks hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Brooks struck out twice Monday while starting at designated hitter. He was a pinch hitter Tuesday and delivered a blast in the seventh inning, but he didn't stay in the game. Brooks provides another left-handed bench bat, but it's unlikely he'll regularly bump Gavin Sheets or Luis Arraez out of the lineup at first base or in left field, and the Padres can rotate a number of other players in at DH. Brooks will likely see indirect competition for playing time from Tyler Wade and Jose Iglesias while he is on the major-league roster.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a three-run double in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Ozuna delivered a clutch, bases-clearing double in the eighth inning to knot the game up at 4-4. He produced six RBI through his first 10 games this month but has since driven in eight runs in four games. Ozuna has produced two multi-hit efforts over his last 13 contests and now owns a .257/.389/.427 slash line through 298 plate appearances.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Brewers.

Suzuki continued his strong season, as he now has 18 home runs to go along with an .853 OPS. The OPS would be a new career best, while he's closing in on his career high of 21 home runs, which he recorded last year. Suzuki has been a consistent performer since coming over to the U.S. from Japan before the 2022 season, and he should continue to post strong counting stats as a staple in the middle of a strong Chicago lineup.
