Rice will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus the Angels.

Rice saw most of his playing time at catcher in the minors, but he'll be making his first-ever start and seventh career appearance behind the dish at the major-league level. While Rice's starts at catcher moving forward are expected to be few and far between, it offers an additional path to playing time and also gives him a chance to gain eligibility at the position for fantasy purposes.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Arizona is facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Eric Lauer) for the first time since June 6, so Smith will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed-hitting regular Alek Thomas. Randal Grichuk will step in at designated hitter in place of Smith, who hit .200 with one home run and two RBI while starting each of the last nine games.

Devers went 2-for-5 with an RBI double during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Devers made his Giants debut after being acquired from Boston on Sunday. The 28-year-old lined a double to right field in the third inning, giving San Francisco a 2-1 lead. He later added a single to left field in the ninth, marking his second straight multi-hit game. While he started at designated hitter Tuesday, Devers is expected to see time at first base, per Angelina Martin of NBC Sports Bay Area -- a position he declined to take reps at earlier this season with the Red Sox.

Herrera went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

Herrera collected a pair of two-RBI singles, and his night could have been even bigger if not for Michael Taylor robbing him of a home run to lead off the top of the fifth inning. The 25-year-old has now driven in 36 runs in just 41 games for the Cardinals this season. With Brendan Donovan moving up to the leadoff spot, Herrera appears to be cementing himself as St. Louis' new No. 3 hitter against right-handed pitching.

Fry went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Giants.

Fry snapped a hitless run of 13 at-bats with a fourth-inning double and scored on a Carlos Santana single to knot the game at 2-2. Fry has become the go-to DH against left-handers, and since being activated off the 60-day injured list May 31, he's batting .160/.276/.320 over 12 games.

Smith went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Toronto.

Smith put Arizona on the board with a two-out, run-scoring single in the fourth inning. He's been largely unproductive since the middle of April, as the lefty hitter is batting .210 (25-for-119) with just nine RBI over the last 44 contests dating back to April 23. By the grace of a .406 BABIP, Smith has managed to bat .271 for the season, far outpacing a .223 expected batting average.

Brooks hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Brooks struck out twice Monday while starting at designated hitter. He was a pinch hitter Tuesday and delivered a blast in the seventh inning, but he didn't stay in the game. Brooks provides another left-handed bench bat, but it's unlikely he'll regularly bump Gavin Sheets or Luis Arraez out of the lineup at first base or in left field, and the Padres can rotate a number of other players in at DH. Brooks will likely see indirect competition for playing time from Tyler Wade and Jose Iglesias while he is on the major-league roster.

Manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Yoshida's (shoulder) return from the 60-day injured list could be expedited after the Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the Giants on Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. "We're going to meet [Tuesday or Wednesday] to go over a few things. Let's see if we can speed up the process," Cora said, in reference to when Yoshida might make his 2025 debut. "He can swing the bat. Now it's a matter of him getting at-bats and all that. But at the same time, respecting the rehab of the shoulder. So we'll decide that sooner rather than later."

Yoshida served exclusively as a designated hitter for the Red Sox in 2024 and has been operating with no restrictions at the plate since late February, but he's nonetheless remained on the IL all season while he's moved slowly through his throwing program following his Oct. 3 right shoulder labral repair. Because Devers had been serving as a full-time DH prior to being traded, the Red Sox weren't willing to activate Yoshida until he proved that his shoulder presented no issues for him while playing in the corner outfield. However, with Devers now out of the picture, Cora said that the Red Sox are considering bringing Yoshida back from the IL before he's cleared to play defense, with the skipper floating the possibility of using him in a platoon at DH with the right-handed-hitting Rob Refsnyder. Yoshida -- who played catch out to 120 feet Tuesday -- would still be an option in the outfield once he finally completes his throwing program, though the Red Sox likely wouldn't have much of a need for him to play defense. Wilyer Abreu's (oblique) expected return from the 10-day IL this weekend will create a logjam in the outfield that could spill over to the DH spot, but the Red Sox might be able to keep Yoshida's bat in the lineup by handing center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela more starts at second base at the expense of Kristian Campbell and David Hamilton, both of whom have offered little offensive production since the beginning of May.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a three-run double in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Ozuna delivered a clutch, bases-clearing double in the eighth inning to knot the game up at 4-4. He produced six RBI through his first 10 games this month but has since driven in eight runs in four games. Ozuna has produced two multi-hit efforts over his last 13 contests and now owns a .257/.389/.427 slash line through 298 plate appearances.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Brewers.

Suzuki continued his strong season, as he now has 18 home runs to go along with an .853 OPS. The OPS would be a new career best, while he's closing in on his career high of 21 home runs, which he recorded last year. Suzuki has been a consistent performer since coming over to the U.S. from Japan before the 2022 season, and he should continue to post strong counting stats as a staple in the middle of a strong Chicago lineup.
