Yelich (back) will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot in Monday's game against the Rangers.

Lower-back soreness has kept Yelich off the field for the Brewers' past five games, but he has been cleared to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener. The 33-year-old has performed well at the plate in the home stretch of the 2025 season and has a .957 OPS with 27 runs, seven homers and 23 RBI in 133 plate appearances since Aug. 1.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

The Padres will go with Gavin Sheets at designated hitter as the Reds send left-hander Nick Lodolo to the hill. The left-handed-hitting O'Hearn had started the previous four contests, including a pair versus southpaws.

Devers went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.

Devers lined an RBI single to center field in the sixth inning before coming around to score the team's final run. The 28-year-old has safely reached base in 12 consecutive games, batting .375 with six home runs and a 7:13 BB:K across 55 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .263/.380/.492 with 100 RBI, 87 runs scored, 31 long balls and one stolen base in 645 plate appearances over 144 games between San Francisco and Boston.

Bell smacked a three-run home run in the ninth inning of Sunday's 6-3 win over the Cubs.

Bell started Sunday's game on the bench, with Andres Chaparro starting at first base. Bell was brought out for the ninth with two runners on base, and he put the Nationals on top for good with a three-run shot to center field. It was Bell's first homer since Aug. 20 and his 17th home run of the season, which is two shy from his mark in 2024. Bell has a .767 OPS with six home runs and 12 RBI in 148 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Ohtani went 2-for-2 with a pair of solo home runs and three walks in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Ohtani led off the game with a 411-foot blast off Tomoyuki Sugano before extending the Dodgers' lead to 2-0 with his second long ball of the day in the top of the third. The two-way phenom had been stuck in an abbreviated slump coming into Sunday, going just 1-for-11 in his previous three games. Overall, he's slashing .279/.389/.612 with 48 home runs, 90 RBI, 127 runs scored and 17 stolen bases across 643 plate appearances this season.

Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Del Castillo had started in each of the Diamondbacks' previous three matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench Sunday against the Red Sox's Brayan Bello. With Del Castillo taking a seat, Ketel Marte will serve as Arizona's designated hitter, which opens up a spot in the infield for Jordan Lawlar.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Pederson will join fellow left-handed hitters Alejandro Osuna, Josh Smith, Rowdy Tellez and Dustin Harris on the bench as the Rangers stock up on right-handed bats to counter southpaw Framber Valdez. Jonah Heim will assume designated-hitter duties with Pederson out of the lineup.

Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Bell will get a breather for the series finale after he went 1-for-16 with a double, two walks and one run while starting in each of the previous five contests. Andres Chaparro will replace Bell at first base Sunday and bat fifth.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Larnach started the previous six games and will receive a day off after going 9-for-25 (.260 average) with a double, a steal, two RBI and two runs during that span. Edouard Julien is batting seventh as the designated hitter for the series finale in Kansas City.

Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Yelich took some swings in the batting cage Saturday with no issues and responded "we'll see" when asked if he'll be available to pinch hit Sunday, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. William Contreras is resting his legs as the designated hitter in the series finale, allowing Danny Jansen to pick up a start behind the plate.
