Yoshida is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Astros on Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Yoshida will be available off the bench while Roman Anthony serves as the DH and Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu man the outfield from left to right. Yoshida went 4-for-11 with one double, one home run and four RBI during Boston's three-game weekend series against San Diego.

Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The White Sox are having right-hander Elvis Peguero open the game, but since lefty Tyler Alexander is expected to work in bulk relief behind him, the left-handed-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench for the series opener in Chicago. With Keith exiting the starting nine, Kerry Carpenter will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter and Andy Ibanez will start at third base.

Alvarez (hand) took batting practice on the field Saturday at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

After he had previously been limited to hitting in the batting cages while he works his way back from a right hand fracture, Alvarez took a small step forward in the recovery process by facing off against pitching on the field. The Astros will likely want to see Alvarez complete several live BP sessions before clearing him to participate in simulated games or minor-league games, where he'll need to stockpile at-bats to regain his timing at the plate following a lengthy layoff from action. Houston has yet to provide a firm timeline for a return for Alvarez, who has been on the injured list since May 5.

Hays is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Hays will take a seat for the second time in three games as the Reds make room in the lineup for Miguel Andujar, who will occupy the designated-hitter spot and bat cleanup while Gavin Lux covers left field. With Hays providing a meager .565 OPS since the All-Star break, he could be in danger of moving into more of a part-time role in the near future if he's unable to turn things around at the plate.

Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Marlins.

Ozuna provided Atlanta with key insurance via a 422-foot homer in the seventh inning. The 34-year-old has now gone deep four times in as many games, racking up six hits and eight RBI in that span. He's slashing .240/.369/.427 with 19 homers, 56 RBI and 47 runs scored this season and should remain the team's primary DH amid his recent hot streak.

Andujar went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 14-8 win over the Pirates. He was also hit by a pitch.

Andujar capped a four-run third inning for Cincinatti with a three-run blast off Mike Burrows. Since returning from the injured list July 10, the 30-year-old has produced a .965 OPS with nine extra-base hits and 10 RBI over 21 games. For the year, he's quietly slashing .303/.343/.453 with seven homers, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and one steal across 251 plate appearances between the Athletics and Reds.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Ohtani tied the game at 1-1 with his leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning. He still hasn't been held hitless in August, going 16-for-35 (.457) with three homers, four RBI and four steals during his nine-game hitting streak to begin the month. He had multiple hits in all three games against Toronto. He's up to a .284/.388/.620 slash line with 41 long balls, 77 RBI, 111 runs scored and 17 steals through 116 games this season.

Del Castillo went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Rockies.

Del Castillo set the early tone with his first-inning homer. He finished with his second three-hit game of the season, and it was his first multi-hit effort since July 19 versus the Cardinals. He's slipped into a part-time role in August due to his struggles at the plate. He typically plays only against right-handed pitchers, but he has been in the lineup against just three of the last five righties Arizona has faced. Del Castillo is batting .255 with a .648 OPS, seven RBI, four runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 49 plate appearances.

Manzardo went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

The Cleveland slugger posted his third career multi-homer game and second of the season in the series finale at Chicago. Manzardo cracked a 408-foot solo shot off White Sox starter Davis Martin in the fourth before returning in the seventh to slug another solo homer off reliever Jordan Leasure. The 25-year-old has been hot since the All-Star break, batting .368 (21-for-57) with five long balls, 15 RBI and seven runs across 18 contests. Through 368 total plate appearances, Manzardo is slashing .244/.323/.485 with 20 homers, 52 RBI and 34 runs scored.

Flores (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Before providing a pinch-hit sacrifice fly and playing an inning at first base Saturday, Flores had gone more than a week without making an appearance while he managed a left hamstring injury. The veteran infielder apparently checked out fine after his brief cameo, so he'll rejoin the starting nine while Dominic Smith heads to the bench.
