Soler went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in a 5-0 win over the Rockies in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Soler was 0-for-3 with a walk in the first game, but he bounced back with a strong showing in the nightcap for his third multi-hit effort in the last four games. The 32-year-old is batting .253 with nine extra-base hits and eight RBI over 21 contests in July. For the season, he's up to a .235/.378/.467 slash line with 12 home runs, 39 RBI, 56 runs scored, one stolen base and 22 doubles over 92 games.

Martinez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Martinez will get a breather after striking out in all four of his plate appearances Saturday. Brandon Nimmo will serve as the designated hitter Sunday and bat third against Atlanta right-hander Reynaldo Lopez.

The Mets optioned Stewart to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for outfielder Jesse Winker, who was acquired by the Mets on Saturday. Stewart has struggled in July, batting 3-for-25 with six walks and eight strikeouts, and has a slash line of .172/.326/.298 across 187 major-league plate appearances this season.

Larnach is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Larnach will sit Sunday for the second straight game. Matt Wallner will start in left field and bat third.

Malloy is absent from the Tigers' starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Malloy will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-9 with five strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Mark Canha will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober.

Schwarber went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-0 rout of the Guardians.

The veteran slugger reached 20 homers on the season when he took Nick Sandlin deep in the fourth inning, one of four Phillies long balls on the afternoon. It was Schwarber's first multi-hit performance since he returned from a groin strain in early July, and his first game with multiple extra-base hits since June 22. On the season, he's slashing .245/.370/.447 with 60 RBI and 67 runs in 93 contests.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Mets.

He took Tylor Megill deep in the fourth inning, the first of three solo shots by Atlanta off the right-hander. Ozuna has gone yard in back-to-back games to reach 30 on the season, and he's finishing July in style, slashing .404/.466/.827 over the last 14 contests with seven homers and nine RBI.

Ramirez went 3-for-3 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Cardinals.

Ramirez came into the game as a pinch hitter for Jesse Winker, who was pulled because he was traded to the Mets. Ramirez immediately took advantage with an excellent performance that included his first multi-hit effort since June 29. The veteran outfielder is hitting .308 (8-for-26) in July, and he may see a larger role now that Winker is out of the picture. For the season, Ramirez is slashing .275/.291/.338 with two home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 213 plate appearances between the Rays and Nationals.

Ohtani went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run, an additional RBI, two walks and a stolen base Saturday in a loss to the Astros.

Ohtani belted another moonshot in the loss, going 443 feet to right field in the third inning. The NL MVP candidate added a run-scoring single in the sixth and reached base four times in total. Ohtani also swiped his 26th base in the contest, tying the career-high mark he established in that category in 2021. The Japanese superstar leads the National League with a .318 batting average and 32 home runs, ranks second with 76 RBI and is in fourth place with 26 steals through 103 games.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Orioles.

Machado singled in the third inning, crushed a three-run home run in the seventh and then singled and scored again in the ninth. Over his last 10 games, the third baseman has had four multi-hit efforts and two homers, though he has also gone hitless in five of those contests. On the season, he is batting .262 with 14 homers, 56 RBI, 48 runs scored and five steals across 412 plate appearances.
