Herrera went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Reds.

Herrera logged multiple hits for the second game in a row. He also ended a 14-game power drought when he went yard in the third inning off Andrew Abbott. Herrera is batting .244 with a .748 OPS, 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 65 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and six stolen bases over 104 contests this season. He continues to see steady time between catcher and designated hitter.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Lowe has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with two home runs and seven RBI over six games since the All-Star break. While he's still in a part-time role, he's heating up with the bat, which could help him carve out more playing time in a battle with Eugenio Suarez and others. He could also benefit from Spencer Steer's wrist injury, which forced his removal from Sunday's contest. Ultimately, Lowe is expected to be moved by the trade deadline next week. Overall, Lowe is batting .256 with an .808 OPS, 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 23 runs scored, 13 doubles and no stolen bases over 249 plate appearances, mainly as a strong-side platoon option.

Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Athletics.

After going 0-for-6 with two walks, a run scored and a strikeout between the first two games of the series, Bell will get the day off for the series finale. Byron Buxton will get a break from playing center field but stay in the lineup at designated hitter while Bell heads to the bench.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The left-handed hitter will receive a breather in the day game with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the bump for Colorado. William Contreras will get a break from catching but will stick in the lineup by occupying Yelich's usual spot at designated hitter.

Pederson went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Mariners.

Pederson has hit safely in his last six games, going 10-for-23 (.435) in that span. He made a rare start at first base to give Jake Burger a day off Saturday, but Pederson will see most of his playing time as a strong-side platoon option at designated hitter. The veteran slugger is batting .251 with an .833 OPS, 17 home runs, two steals, 36 RBI, 41 runs scored, 10 doubles and two triples across 93 contests this season.

Springer went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Red Sox.

Springer singled in the second inning before breaking the game open with a three-run blast in the third. It continued a hot stretch for the 36-year-old, who posted a 1.121 OPS in the second half of the 2025 regular season and owns a .963 mark with two homers and eight RBI through eight games since returning from this year's All-Star break. On the season, he's slashing .229/.312/.396 with 11 homers, 30 RBI, 35 runs scored and seven steals across 327 plate appearances.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Ohtani (knee) "kicked the can" on his scheduled bullpen session Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

With Ohtani's knee still not feeling 100 percent after first throwing out of the bullpen Wednesday, the 31-year-old decided to cancel his slated bullpen session Saturday. Manager Dave Roberts is still confident that Ohtani will pitch again this season. Despite his knee problems, Ohtani will continue to serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter.

Lowe isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Lowe will move to the bench to begin Saturday's contest after going 2-for-5 with a strikeout Friday. Sal Stewart will shift to first base while Lowe sits, giving Ke'Bryan Hayes a start at the hot corner.

Gonzalez entered Friday's game as a pinch hitter and had a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 6-4 win over Toronto.

Gonzalez, who had snapped an 0-for-23 stretch in his previous game Wednesday, delivered the go-ahead run in the eighth inning. Since a midseason return from shoulder surgery following a truncated rehab assignment, Gonzalez has been grinding. He entered Friday with a .189/.271/.321 slash line across 60 plate appearances.

Eldridge went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and a double in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Eldridge drew a walk in the first inning before coming around to score, and he hit a ground-rule double in the third before adding another run. The 21-year-old has now logged three doubles across 18 outings in July, batting .242 with nine runs scored, seven RBI, four home runs and a stolen base in 77 plate appearances this month. Overall, he's slashing .266/.363/.472 with 32 runs scored, 23 RBI, 10 long balls and a stolen base across 248 plate appearances this season.
