Let’s go through the NL DH options.

#Braves have a few strong candidates. Marcell Ozuna could be primary DH, Riley should get some run as well and hopefully they can take advantage of one of his hot streaks. Ender should play everyday and they could go to Pache if he goes down
#Mets should just straight platoon Dom Smith and Cespedes. They are built for the NL DH
#Phillies obvious candidate is Jay Bruce. Weird fit on the roster without the DH, and he’s good enough to get everyday at bats. Could platoon him with Bohm if they make a playoff run.
#Marlins One of Aguilar/Cooper will DH w/ other playing 1B. Matt Joyce is an above average option against righties, good sneaky play in OBP formats. Also Matt Kemp?!?
#Nationals should be Kendrick/Thames. Play Kieboom everyday at third. Play Zim at DH some as well, keep him as fresh as possible. No set DH here but rotating based on matchups. Asdrubal in the mix as well.
#Cubs should just make Schwarber their everyday DH, play Happ everyday. See what they have there. Bote/Souza DH vs tough lefties.
#Reds should just go Castellanos, but with opt-out he’s probably not cool with being full-time DH. Rotate Winker Casty Aquino Senzel and keep them all fresh and in lineup. Absolutely built for this brand of baseball.
#Brewers should be Braun, but he’s had issues with moving to other positions in the past. He open to DH everyday?
#Pirates have Jose Osuna and this should get him at bats. Adam Frazier could DH opening up 2B for Tucker or Newman with other playing short. Some options but not very exciting
#stlcards obvious answer is Matt Carpenter, but would he be open to that everyday? Brad Miller will he in the mix, as will Fowler. Edman becomes an absolute everyday guy. Hopefully Carlson as well.
#dbacks it’s easy to get excited about Cron, and then you’re reminded of the K rate. They’ll probably give Jake Lamb a last chance. I’d love to see Seth Beer, but that wouldn’t be right away I wouldn’t think.
#rockies should just play Daniel Murphy there 80% of the time. McMahon should play more, and Hampson/Hilliard as well. Everyone knows about these guys though. Brendan Rodgers though. If he hits he will play.
#dodgers will likely just rotate everyone around, and are pretty fortunate the Joc trade didn’t go through. Pollock should DH a lot, Beaty, Rios, Kiké in mix as well.
#Padres could turn Naylor loose, but likely platoon with Myers. Pham would be strong candidate though. He could just be full time DH.
#giants Alex Dickerson! Hopefully. Dude mashed but has just kept getting hurt. They’ll likely rotate guys around though, but I hope Dickerson sticks there
