Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Ohtani was scratched from his scheduled start as a pitcher Wednesday in Pittsburgh after feeling "under the weather," but the skipper is hopeful the two-way player will be ready to return to the mound "sometime this weekend" in Baltimore, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Roberts noted that because of a cough and congestion, Ohtani had to cut his recent between-starts bullpen session short, so the Dodgers opted to have Emmet Sheehan take the hill for Wednesday's contest. Ohtani doesn't feel that the illness will compromise him at the plate, however, so the Dodgers will include him in the lineup Wednesday at designated hitter and the leadoff spot. The Dodgers should have a better idea in a couple days which game of the Baltimore series that Ohtani will make his return to the mound.

Ohtani is no longer listed as the Dodgers' starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, but he'll serve as the team's designated hitter and will bat leadoff, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

The Dodgers haven't provided an explanation for why Ohtani is no longer in line to pitch, but if he's dealing with an undisclosed injury, it's evidently not anything the team believes will affect him while swinging the bat or running the bases. Emmet Sheehan will end up starting on the mound in Ohtani's stead. Expect manager Dave Roberts to shed more light on the situation and provide word on when Ohtani's next start as a pitcher will come when the skipper addresses the media later Wednesday.

Devers went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

Devers launched his 30th homer to right field in the first inning, giving the Giants a 2-0 lead. The 28-year-old has now reached the 30-homer mark four times in his career, including twice in the last three seasons. He's slashing .263/.381/.493 with 96 RBI, 84 runs scored and a stolen base across 627 plate appearances in 140 games between San Francisco and Boston this season.

McCutchen went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Dodgers.

McCutchen kept a Pirates' rally going in the first inning with an RBI single and reached base for the sixth straight game. He hasn't hit for much power but has otherwise remained productive, recording 16 RBI and nine runs scored across 22 games since Aug. 1. McCutchen remains a near-everyday player, but he could lose some at-bats down the stretch if the Pirates hope to get extra playing time for the likes of Nick Yorke or Cam Devanney.

Ohtani went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Pirates.

The Dodgers found themselves staring at a 4-0 deficit after the first inning, but Ohtani did his best to get his team back into it, launching a 99.2 mph fastball from Bubba Chandler down the right-field line for a solo shot in the third inning. It was Ohtani's 46th home run of the season, giving him an even 100 in a Dodgers uniform, and the three-hit performance snapped a 7-for-40 skid (.175) over his prior 11 games.

Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 7-4 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

The homer was Flores' 15th of the year, and he now has one hit in four of his past five outings. The veteran slugger had 46 RBI through May 31, but he's cooled down dramatically ever since. Over his last 201 plate appearances (55 games), Flores is slashing a frigid .230/.303/.343 with five homers, five doubles and 20 RBI since the start of June.

Herrera went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.

That's now two homers in as many days to open the month of September for Herrera, who has three long balls in his past five outings. The 25-year-old backstop also has an active eight-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .375 with six RBI and five runs scored. Herrera's OPS sits at a career-best .818 for the campaign as well.

O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

O'Hearn will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 11-for-40 (.275) with an RBI and five runs scored across his last 10 contests. His absence will allow Gavin Sheets to serve as San Diego's designated hitter while batting fourth.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Winker has been shut down from all activities and will likely miss the remainder of the season, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Winker has been on the injured list since mid-July due to back inflammation. He was given the green light to begin a rehab assignment last Wednesday but was shut down after going 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in two games with Single-A St. Lucie. With time running out for the 32-year-old to return to Queens this year, it now appears that he'll shift his focus to getting ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. Winker is due to hit free agency this winter.

The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Young has posted a .964 OPS with 15 home runs in 66 games with Syracuse this season. He's managed three more long balls in 45 plate appearances with the Mets, though he's slashing only .171/.222/.415 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate. Young is likely to be used mostly in a pinch-hitting role.
