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

Flores' streak of six consecutive starts will come to an end. With Flores on the bench, Jung Hoo Lee will make his first MLB start at designated hitter.

Burleson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Though he has emerged as a regular in the St. Louis lineup against right-handed pitching, Burleson will continue to sit against southpaws like MacKenzie Gore. With Burleson on the bench, Ivan Herrera will get a look in the designated-hitter spot.

Marte will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and No. 6 batter in Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Marte had been occupying the short side of a platoon at DH with Jesse Winker (oblique) until the latter landed on the injured list Monday. Winker's absence hasn't opened up additional playing time for Marte though, as the veteran has been on the bench for each of the Mets' last three matchups against a right-handed starter. He'll get the nod Sunday versus southpaw Matthew Boyd, but manager Carlos Mendoza looks like he'll rotate other players through the DH spot against righties until Winker returns.

Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

Suzuki had been scuffling a bit before the two-hit effort, going 0-for-13 with four strikeouts over his previous three games. The veteran outfielder usually doesn't slump for too long, however, as he batted .283 or better each of the last two seasons. Suzuki is batting .250 at the moment, and he will likely push that figure up over the summer based on his MLB track record.

Sheets went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in a 21-0 rout of the Rockies on Saturday.

Sheets capped a five-run San Diego first inning with a 439-foot, two-run blast to right-center field, and he added an RBI double in the eighth frame to conclude a huge offensive day for the team. The veteran slugger has seven RBI over his past two games, exceeding the total he had accumulated over his previous 20 contests combined. Sheets is thriving in his first year with the Padres, slashing .296/.353/.500 with five long balls, 21 RBI, 15 runs and a stolen base through 119 plate appearances.

Smith went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

Smith was the only player to have a multi-hit effort in this contest. He's 4-for-7 over his last two games, but prior to that, he went 0-for-17 across the previous eight contests. The 29-year-old is up to a .302/.442/.531 slash line, four home runs, 10 RBI, 19 runs scored, 10 doubles and a stolen base over 120 plate appearances. Smith is in a strong-side platoon role, primarily as a designated hitter with a little time at first base this year.

Ohtani (elbow) threw an up-down bullpen session Saturday in Arizona, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

This was the first time Ohtani has done an up-down -- meaning he simulated a break between innings -- as he continues this pitching progression. Aside from the added wrinkle, the session was similar to recent bullpens the two-way star has thrown, as he tossed around 35 pitches consisting of four-seamers, two-seamers and splitters. Ohtani has yet to deploy his full pitch mix or throw to live hitters, however, so he's probably still at least a couple months away from returning to game action. The Dodgers plan to have him build up through simulated games since his role as a designated hitter precludes him from going on a minor-league rehab pitching assignment.

Hays isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

Hays went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts Friday during his return from the injured list. He'll step aside Saturday while Connor Joe makes his Reds debut in left field and bats ninth.

Bell isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Bell's early-season struggles continued with an 0-for-3 performance in Friday's series opener, and he'll now take a seat to begin Saturday's game. James Wood will serve as the Nationals' DH with Alex Call filling the void in left field.

Hays served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Astros.

Hays missed the minimum 10 days on the injured list with a hamstring injury and did not require a rehab assignment. As was the case prior to his injury, Hays will bounce between DH and left field.
