Winker is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

Winker missed some time earlier in the week due to side tightness, but he returned to the starting lineup Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with a walk. He'll head back to the bench Wednesday as the Reds look to ease him back into action. Derek Dietrich is starting in left field and hitting fifth in his place.

Dickerson went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Colorado.

Dickerson hasn't skipped a beat since returning from his minor back injury, going a combined 7-for-10 with three doubles and three RBI in two starts. The 29-year-old has been playing every game like he's in Coors Field since joining the Giants, slashing .400/.471/.783 with four homers and 18 RBI over 67 plate appearances. Dickerson continues to start in right field and bat in the heart of the order against right-handed starters. It would be tough to ignore this kind of production in almost any format.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI, and a run scored in a victory over Houston on Tuesday.

Ohtani plated the first of six Angels runs in the first inning with an RBI single and then came around to score on an Albert Pujols double. He singled again in the next inning and proceeded to swipe second base for his sixth steal of the season. The Japanese slugger is enjoying a fine campaign at the plate, slashing .298/.354/.544 with 14 home runs and 40 RBI in 215 at-bats.

Harper went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers, including a walkoff, two-run double.

Harper crushed a 458-foot, three-run homer during the second inning and then came through in the ninth to save the Phillies after they blew the lead in the top of the frame. The former NL MVP is 6-for-19 with two doubles and a home run in the first five games out of the All-Star break.

Reyes went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Marlins.

Reyes was a late scratch from the Padres' lineup Tuesday for an unspecified reason. However, he seemed unhindered in his lone plate appearance late in the contest, smacking his 26th homer of the season. Still, his status for the remainder of the team's series against Miami remains unclear.

Manager Rick Renteria said Jimenez (elbow) is likely heading to the injured list after exiting Tuesday's game at Kansas City, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Jimenez was removed during the first inning after colliding with teammate Charlie Tilson in the outfield and was given a preliminary diagnosis of right elbow soreness. According to James Fegan of The Athletic, the 22-year-old is returning to Chicago to be further evaluated and will undergo an MRI.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI on Tuesday against the Padres.

Ramirez delivered early on in the contest, roping doubles in each of his first two plate appearances. The highlight came in the second inning when he doubled deep to right field to drive in both of his runs for the contest. Ramirez had been quiet at the dish since the All-Star break, collecting just one hit in eight at-bats prior to Tuesday's game. While he's hit for a strong .286 average across 210 plate appearances for the season, he has just a 3.8 percent walk rate and is slugging .392.

Jimenez exited Tuesday's game against the Royals with right elbow soreness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Jimenez left Tuesday's game against the Royals in the first inning after colliding with teammate Charlie Tilson in the outfield.

Jimenez appeared to be holding his right shoulder after the play on what looked to be an innocuous collision with Tilson. Ryan Cordell replaced him in the game.

Winker (side) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, batting leadoff.

In this case, the best-case scenario played out in regards to Winker's injury, and he's able to return to the lineup just two days after it occurred.
