Schanuel, who has been battling a lingering ankle issue the past couple weeks, was hit by a pitch on the lower left leg before making an early exit from Tuesday’s contest. He’s presumably day-to-day for now.

Martin has almost always been effective when healthy, but that stopped at age 40 this year, as he gave up 14 earned runs in 14 innings for the Rangers. Still, given that his velocity hasn’t changed much, we’re guessing he’ll be offered minor league deals by a bunch of contenders.

Márquez was DFA’d on Wednesday after amassing a 5.26 ERA and a 37/24 K/BB in 53 innings for the Padres.

Fairchild spent three days with the Mariners but didn’t an at-bat before being DFA’d on Tuesday. He’s back with the organization now after being outrighted.

It’s been 2 1/2 weeks since Ohtani was last known to have thrown. It’s doubtful he’ll be back on the major league mound before Sept. 1 as he recovers from left knee and right biceps issues, but he is in the Dodgers lineup as a DH tonight.

Edwards got the scoring started with a two-run single in the third inning and scored on a single by Otto Lopez. He later drove in his third run with a base hit in the fifth before scoring his second run. The 26-year-old second baseman is hitting .287/.367/.394 with six homers, 54 runs scored, 44 RBI, and 18 steals across 493 plate appearances.

Lopez drove in two runs on a bases-loaded single in the third inning. He later added a single and a run scored in the fifth before reaching for a third time on a walk in the seventh. The 27-year-old infielder is having an excellent season, hitting .317/.350/.470 with nine homers, 70 runs scored, 53 RBI, and 23 steals across 494 plate appearances.

Alcantara was lights out on Saturday, dominating the Angels over seven shutout innings. He scattered three hits and one walk while collecting eight strikeouts, tossing 70 of 108 pitches for strikes. The 30-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 3.52 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 128/42 K/BB ratio across an MLB-leading 163 2/3 innings. He’ll look to follow up the performance against the Reds in Cincinnati on Friday.

Ureña pitched two quiet innings against the Marlins before completely losing it in the third. A base hit and two walks loaded the bases for Xavier Edwards, who doubled to drive in two runs. Another walk loaded the bases again before Otto Lopez drove in two more runs on a single. That would do it for Ureña, ending his day with one out in the third inning. The 22-year-old right-hander will take a 2.83 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and a 97/55 K/BB ratio across 101 2/3 innings into a start against the Rangers in Anaheim on Thursday.

Soderstrom’s only hit of the day left the yard as he took Raymond Burgos deep for a solo homer in the seventh inning. It was his second homer in as many days in Boston. The 24-year-old slugger is up to 19 homers, 55 runs scored, and 54 RBI while slashing .245/.340/.472 across 435 plate appearances.

Bolte was hitless through his first four at-bats before giving the A’s an insurance run with a solo blast in the ninth. His fifth home run of the season left the bat at 111.5 mph and traveled an impressive 439 feet. The 23-year-old outfielder is hitting .253/.332/.350 with 25 runs scored, 22 RBI, and 13 steals across 270 plate appearances.
