Ozuna is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Ozuna recorded two hits in Sunday's game, but he's also gone 5-for-40 (.125) and struck out 13 times over his last 10 games, so manager Brian Snitker decided it was time for a mental break. William Contreras will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter Monday night.

Vogelbach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

He capped the scoring on the day by taking Zack Wheeler deep in the sixth inning. Vogelbach continues to enjoy life as a Met, slashing .308/.429/.558 through 18 games with his new club with three of his 15 homers on the season and 11 of his 45 RBI.

Buxton went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in a 4-2 loss to the Angels on Sunday.

Buxton provided all of Minnesota's offense with a two-run shot off Los Angeles' starter Tucker Davidson in the first inning and added a single and stolen base in the sixth for his second two-hit game in his last four. During the span, he's batted 5-for-17 with two home runs and two stolen bases. Buxton started at DH after appearing in center field during the last two contests but is most likely feeling healthier after logging a theft for the second straight game.

Pederson (hand) underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pederson sustained a right hand contusion during Sunday's win over the Pirates, but he isn't dealing with any structural damage. He said after the game that he hopes to be available off the bench Monday against Arizona and hopes to return to the lineup Tuesday.

Pederson exited Sunday's game against the Pirates due to a right hand contusion, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pederson was hit by a pitch on his right hand in the fourth inning Sunday and initially remained in the game, but he was replaced defensively in the top of the sixth. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

Pederson initially remained in the game after being struck by a pitch during the fourth inning, but he was replaced in the field for the top of the sixth. The 30-year-old went 0-for-2 with a run scored and should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Torrens cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Torrens was designated for assignment Thursday but will remain in the organization after he went unclaimed on waivers. He hit .214 with a home run, 10 RBI and nine runs over 46 games during his time in the majors to begin the season.

Horwitz (thumb) started Saturday's game for Triple-A Buffalo and went 0-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Horwitz missed nine days due to the thumb injury but rejoined the lineup Saturday for the Bisons. The 24-year-old opened the season with Double-A New Hampshire but was promoted to Triple-A in early July, and he has a .256/.354/.395 slash line through 22 games with Buffalo.

Belt (thumb) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Belt sat out Saturday with a sore thumb, but that will be the extent of his absence. He will play first base and hit cleanup for the Giants on Sunday.

Winker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Texas.

The 29-year-old was back in the lineup the past two games after a brief absence due to back spasms, but he'll return to the bench for Sunday's contest. Sam Haggerty will take over in left field with Winker receiving a day off in the series finale.
