Winn (back) cranked a pair of solo home runs in his second rehab game with Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

After starting at shortstop in his first rehab game Friday and striking out in all three plate appearances, Winn was in the designated hitter spot Saturday and went deep twice. Recovering from lower-back spasms, Winn remains on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Busch singled in a run in the bottom of the first inning, then added a solo home run an inning later, giving him five long balls for the season. The infielder has an impressive .316/.381/.618 slash line through 22 games, and while he often sits against southpaws, Busch has been a force against righties. He currently has a 1.020 OPS against opposite-handed pitching this year, as well as all of his home runs and RBI.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Suzuki went deep for the second straight day, giving him six long balls for the season. The outfielder's career high in home runs is 21, which he recorded last year. If he stays healthy in 2025, Suzuki is on pace to easily surpass that total.

Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Cruz is receiving Sunday off after a run of seven straight starts, during which he batted .269 (7-for-26) with three homers, three stolen bases, six RBI and six runs. Alexander Canario is getting a look in center field for the series finale versus Cleveland.

The Dodgers designated Rosario for assignment Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The veteran outfielder joined the big-league roster Friday with Shohei Ohtani landing on the paternity list, but it will be a short stay in the majors with Ohtani rejoining the club Sunday. Rosario went 1-for-4 with a double in his two games with the team. Assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed, he could elect free agency or return to Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he has a .948 OPS through 14 contests this year.

Ohtani (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list and is expected to start at designated hitter Sunday against the Rangers, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Ohtani was away from the Dodgers for the past two games to attend the birth of his daughter, but he's back with the club for Sunday's series finale in Texas. Through 20 games this season, the 30-year-old has a .288/.380/.550 slash line with six homers, five steals eight RBI and 21 runs in 92 plate appearances.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Murphy has just one hit with seven strikeouts in his past 16 plate appearances, and he'll receive Sunday off after a run of seven straight starts. Drake Baldwin will take over behind the plate for Atlanta in the series finale versus Minnesota.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

Trevino went 4-for-9 with a walk, two doubles and three runs in the first two games of the series and will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Austin Wynns will step in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Beck went 1-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Nationals.

Beck was recalled to provide some extra depth due to Brenton Doyle (quadriceps/personal) being away from the team. The former immediately drew a start with a lefty on the mound and delivered a three-RBI triple in the seventh inning. Beck is likely to serve in a small-side platoon role, though his playing time will be worth monitoring until Doyle returns.

Moniak went 2-for-3 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Nationals.

Moniak has seen extra playing time due to the absence of Brenton Doyle (personal/quadriceps), with Saturday marking his eighth straight start. He is in the midst of a four-game hitting streak and has now homered in consecutive games. Even more notable has been Moniak's improved plate discipline -- albeit in a small sample -- as he's striking out at only an 18.4 percent clip paired with a 10.4 percent walk rate across 49 plate appearances.
