News Archive	MON, AUG 8, 4:08 PM Ohtani isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Spin:Fletcher notes that this is simply a scheduled off day for the two-way star. Max Stassi will get a chance to serve as the designated hitter and Kurt Suzuki will handle the catching duties in Ohtani's absence.
Anthony Rizzo Yankees1B Day-To-DayNews Archive	MON, AUG 8, 4:05 PM Rizzo (back) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners. Spin:Rizzo is set to miss his fourth consecutive contest due to lower-back tightness. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until more information on his status becomes known. DJ LeMahieu draws another start at first base in Rizzo's absence.
Joc Pederson GiantsOF News Archive	MON, AUG 8, 4:00 PM Pederson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Spinederson rarely faces left-handers, so it should come as no surprise that he is being held out with southpaw Blake Snell on the bump for the opponent. Luis Gonzalez will start in left field in Pederson's place.
Brandon Belt Giants1B, DH News Archive	MON, AUG 8, 3:58 PM Belt is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Spin:Belt is hitting just .216 since the All-Star break and the Giants are facing lefty Blake Snell on Monday, so manager Gabe Kapler decided to give Belt the night off. Wilmer Flores will start at first base in Belt's place.
Evan Longoria Giants3B News Archive	MON, AUG 8, 3:39 PM Longoria (hamstring) was activated from the injured list Monday. Spin:Longoria

Hmmmmm... Interesting for impact on Angels without Ohtani at the plate.

I all ready bet A’s and Padres Under FF

Agree Biggins but you have to feel better about the A's without Ohtani playing for the Angels. I know I would.
