McCutchen is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

McCutchen slugged a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Marlins, but he'll get a breather in Wednesday's matinee. Bryan Reynolds will be in the designated hitter spot for the Pirates while Billy Cook gets a start in left field.

McCutchen went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer and a pair of walks in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

McCutchen broke the game open in the fifth inning, launching a three-run homer off Adam Oller to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 6-1. It's the 20th homer of the season for McCutchen -- the 10th time in his 16-year MLB career that he's reached that mark. Since returning Aug. 30 from a two-week IL stint, the 37-year-old McCutchen's gone 9-for-29 with four home runs and a 1.157 OPS. He's slashing .241/.338/.432 with 50 RBI, 64 runs scored and three steals in 470 plate appearances on the season.

Pederson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.

Pederson has gone 21 games without a multi-hit effort, but he's gotten on base well by drawing 14 walks in that span. The 32-year-old's solo shot Tuesday opened the scoring and gave Arizona all it needed for the win. Pederson is up to 22 homers, 61 RBI, 58 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .282/.404/.536 slash line over 404 plate appearances in his standard strong-side platoon role at designated hitter.

Schwarber was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays due to left elbow discomfort, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Schwarber appeared to injure his elbow while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the third inning, and he was later pinch hit for in the fourth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, and he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Rosario started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta.

Rosario, who started for the eighth time in the last nine games, is getting plenty of opportunities but doesn't hold much fantasy value. Since joining the Reds in the middle of August, Rosario is batting .205 (9-for-44) with a home run, three RBI and six runs scored. Where may be useful is in steals; the utility infielder has swiped three bags in 16 games for Cincinnati and 13 for the season.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Cubs.

Ohtani moved a little closer to the majors' first ever 50-50 season by recording his 47th theft of the campaign. The slugger also has 46 homers, putting him in reach of the historic mark with just under three weeks remaining in the regular season. Ohtani has recorded a home run and/or a stolen base in seven of his past 12 contests and is slashing .280/.339/.640 with five long balls, seven steals, seven RBI and 14 runs during that span.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rays.

Schwarber got the Phillies' first hit of the game Monday when he took Tyler Alexander deep in the sixth inning. Schwarber stayed hot at the dish as he extended his hitting streak to eight games, which ties a season-long streak. He's now hit six home runs over his last seven games with 12 RBI in that span. Schwarber's 34 home runs are the third most in the National League behind Shohei Ohtani and Marcell Ozuna. 

The Mets designated Reyes for assignment Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Reyes was with the Mets for one week and appeared in just one game as a pinch runner. He was replaced on the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster by fellow utility player Eddy Alvarez, whom the Mets acquired from the Red Sox on Sunday.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

Ohtani took Tanner Bibee 450 feet to right field in the fifth that was calculated at 116.7 MPH off the bat. The home run brought him up to 46 for the year, which ties his career high from 2021. He's also now at 101 RBI for the season, which is a new career high. Ohtani is the first player in MLB history to have 46 home runs and 46 stolen bases in the same season and he's knocking on the door of history with a 50-50 campaign. For the year, Ohtani is slashing .291/.374/.618 with 83 extra-base hits, 113 runs and a 72:145 BB:K in 642 plate appearances.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Nationals.

McCutchen's third-inning blast was his 19th of the season, placing him just one shy of reaching the 20-homer milestone for the second time since 2018. The 37-year-old veteran has been battling a knee issue but has been productive when in the lineup, batting 17-for-53 (.321) with six home runs and 17 RBI over 15 games since the start of August.
