O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

O'Hearn will retreat to the bench for a second consecutive game Tuesday, even with right-hander Ryne Nelson set to start on the bump for Arizona. Luis Arraez will start at first base for the Friars while O'Hearn sits, and Manny Machado will serve as the DH with Jose Iglesias at third.

Scott isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Scott will receive a day to rest Tuesday after going 3-for-15 with five strikeouts to begin the month. Alec Burleson, Lars Nootbaar and Jordan Walker will start across the Cardinals' outfield while Scott is out.

The Padres optioned Sears to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Sears did not impress for his new team in Monday's loss versus the Diamondbacks, in which he surrendered five runs across five innings. With the starter's demotion Tuesday, the Padres recalled reliever Sean Reynolds.

Flores (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Flores exited Friday's context due to hamstring tightness and is sitting Tuesday for a fourth straight game. It's not believed to a be a serious injury, but an IL stint could be considered if he misses much more time. Dominic Smith is receiving the start at first base Tuesday while Rafael Devers serves as the designated hitter.

The Padres recalled Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

JP Sears was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday in a corresponding move. Reynolds made three appearances with Triple-A El Paso after being optioned June 30. He allowed no runs with a 4:2 K:BB across 2.2 innings, and he also earned a save in his last game Aug. 2.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Smith will step out of the starting nine Tuesday after going 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's loss. Dalton Rushing will get the nod to start behind the plate instead and catch for starter Emmet Sheehan.

Suzuki is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Suzuki started the previous 86 games for the Cubs, so it's a well-deserved day off for the 30-year-old. He's struggled to a .143/.284/.214 slash line in 16 games since the All-Star break, and he'll take a day to reset Tuesday. Kyle Tucker is receiving a turn at designated hitter while Willi Castro is manning right field.

Del Castillo isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Diego.

Del Castillo will grab a seat on the bench for the third day in a row after going 8-for-36 (.222) with a .487 OPS through his first 10 MLB games this season. Lourdes Gurriel will take over as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter, allowing Jake McCarthy to start in left field.

McCann isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

The Diamondbacks have begun to use McCann behind the plate every other day since the start of August, and Tuesday will mark a day off for the 35-year-old backstop. Jose Herrera will start at catcher instead and bat ninth.

The Pirates optioned Oviedo to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Oviedo returned from the 60-day injured list Monday to make his first appearance in the big leagues since Sept. 27, 2023, after he missed time while recovering from Tommy John surgery and then a lat strain. Though he escaped with a no-decision in the Pirates' 5-4 win over the Giants, Oviedo was inefficient in his start, needing 43 pitches to complete one inning while serving up two earned runs on two hits and three walks. He'll head back to Triple-A as he looks to hone his command following the lengthy layoff from big-league action and will be replaced on the 26-man active roster by right-hander Cam Sanders, who will provide the bullpen with some reinforcement after the Pirates needed four relievers to cover the final eight frames of Monday's contest. The Pirates have yet to announce who will replace Oviedo in the rotation the next time his turn comes up Saturday versus the Reds.
