Ohtani (elbow) is throwing a bullpen session Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Ohtani threw what was described as a "light" bullpen in the outfield Thursday, and Saturday's session is slated to be "fuller," per Plunkett. The two-way star doesn't yet have a timeline to face hitters, but he's back to ramping up after slowing down his throwing progression in the early part of March as he focused on his preparations as a hitter. If Ohtani's throwing rehab doesn't experience any additional delays, he could make his first MLB pitching appearance since 2023 at some point in May.

Ozuna went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 10-0 win over Miami.

After doubling to plate two runs in the third inning, Ozuna had a call on the field overturned by umpire review to give him his first homer of the campaign in the seventh frame. Despite Friday marking his first long ball of 2025, Ozuna is still hitting a strong .286 with five RBI, one double, six runs scored and a whopping 13 walks through 34 plate appearances so far this year.

McCutchen went 3-for-4 in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Yankees.

McCutchen's playing time has been reduced while Bryan Reynolds is limited to designated hitter due to a triceps injury that affects his throwing but not his hitting. This led to McCutchen being on the bench for three games in a row. The Pirates were comfortable putting the right-handed-hitting McCutchen in right field Friday versus southpaw Max Fried, but it has typically been Jack Suwinski filling in while Reynolds is limited. McCutchen is 6-for-18 (.333) with a home run, two RBI and a double across his first six contests this season.

Reynolds went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Yankees.

Reynolds continues to be limited to designated hitter while battling triceps soreness that affects his throwing. It's not enough to keep him away from the plate, and he was able to smack his first homer of the season when he went deep off Max Fried in the third inning. Reynolds is batting just .194 with three RBI, two runs scored and one stolen base across eight contests, but he should continue to play regularly as long as his triceps issue doesn't get worse.

Steer is hitting second and serving as the designated hitter Friday against the Brewers.

Steer was originally out of the lineup, but Matt McLain (hamstring) was scratched roughly an hour before first pitch. After the Reds reconfigured the order, Steer is now set to occupy a prominent spot in the lineup, and he'll look to get on track after beginning the season with only one hit across 18 at-bats.

Steer isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

After a 1-for-18 start to the season, Steer will get a chance to rest and collect himself during a day off Friday. Meanwhile, Jeimer Candelario will serve as the Reds' designated hitter while Santiago Espinal starts at the hot corner.

Sheets is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Southpaw Shota Imanaga is taking the mound for Chicago, so it's not a surprise that Sheets finds himself on the bench. He has a 1.196 OPS through 19 plate appearances, all but one of which have come against right-handed pitching. Yuli Gurriel will bat sixth as the designated hitter, as the pair continue to platoon at the position.

Bryant is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

It's the second straight day on the bench for Bryant, who is just 1-for-14 with six strikeouts in the early going this season. Hunter Goodman is in the designated hitter spot Friday and Jacob Stallings is doing the catching.

Winker is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

It's right-hander Kevin Gausman on the hill for Toronto, but the left-handed hitting Winker will yield to righty Starling Marte at designated hitter. Winker is off to a 2-for-13 start at the plate this season for the Mets.

Schwarber went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.

Schwarber extended the Phillies' lead to 2-0 in the seventh inning with a 444-foot moonshot off left-hander Luis Peralta, his fourth homer already this year. Schwarber has hit safely in six straight games to start the season, going 8-for-26 (.308) with eight RBI, seven runs scored and a 1.165 OPS.
