Del Castillo started at catcher and went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Del Castillo was back in the starting nine after three straight games on the bench. With James McCann tending to a sore back, Del Castillo moves up the ladder to primary backup behind Gabriel Moreno. This was Del Castillo's fourth start behind the plate since being called up after the All-Star break.

Pederson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an RBI double during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.

The 33-year-old tagged J.T. Ginn for a two-run homer in the first inning, marking Pederson's fourth home run in his last 38 plate appearances spanning nine games. He had gone yard just four times in 195 plate appearances before the stretch. In those nine games, Pederson is 12-for-38 (.316) with 12 RBI and three doubles.

Devers went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Sunday's 13-2 win over the Orioles.

Devers knocked in the Giants' first two runs in the romp, hitting a solo shot in the first inning before adding an RBI single in the third. He closed out August in good form, hitting five homers and supplying 12 RBI over his last 13 games of the month. He's now at a .262/.381/.484 slash line with 28 homers, 93 RBI, 81 runs scored, one stolen base and 30 doubles across 138 contests between San Francisco and Boston this year.

Ozuna is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

It's the second straight lineup absence for Ozuna, who is batting .108 (4-for-37) over his past 12 games and is without a homer since Aug. 13. Ronald Acuna is resting his legs as the designated hitter Sunday, which opens up right field for Eli White.

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

The switch-hitting Bell has produced a lowly 51 wRC+ against left-handed pitching this season, so he'll retreat to the bench Sunday while the Rays send southpaw Ian Seymour to the hill. Andres Chaparro will spell Bell at first base and bat cleanup.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz will receive a breather after starting six stright games while going 8-for-23 with a solo home run, three doubles, two walks and two additional runs. Bob Seymour will start at first base and Brandon Lowe will serve as the Rays' designated hitter.

Pederson went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

Pederson smacked a seventh-inning double to extend a hit streak to eight games, easily his best stretch of a trying season. He's gone 10-for-33 with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and six runs scored during the streak. The Rangers are finally getting what they paid for when they signed Pederson to a one-year, $18.5 million contract this past winter with a player option for 2026 -- he's slashing .277/.338/.554 with five home runs and 12 RBI over 23 contests in August.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Smith (quadriceps) is "trending toward" missing the remainder of the season, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Smith landed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a quad strain suffered Wednesday. His absence opens up playing time at first base and designated hitter. Tyler Locklear has started at first base in the two games since Smith sustained the injury, while Ketel Marte has operated as the DH.

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

The Padres are having right-hander David Morgan open the contest, but since lefty Kyle Hart is projected to work in bulk relief, Larnach will take a seat. His absence will open up the DH spot for Byron Buxton.

Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

After slumping for much of August, Suzuki has produced consecutive multi-hit games at Coors Field. The slugging outfielder is still batting just .235 in 26 games this month, and he's only gone deep once in that time. Overall, Suzuki has a .247 batting average and .803 OPS to go along with 27 home runs, which is second on the team to Pete Crow-Armstrong's 28.
