Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Garcia started the previous 30 games and will receive a day to reset while he's in the midst of a 4-for-24 slump. Nick Loftin will fill in at the hot corner and bat eighth versus Arizona righty Anthony DeSclafani.

Williamson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Miles Mastrobuoni will get the nod at third base while Williamson heads to the bench for the series finale. The rookie had started in each of the Mariners' previous five games, going 4-for-14 with three doubles, two walks, two runs and two RBI.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

After his 12-game hitting streak came to an end in Saturday's 1-0 loss, Hayes will exit the starting nine for what will be his first day off since June 25. Jared Triolo will spell Hayes at third base and will bat seventh.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Rojas started the previous three games but will head to the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 5-for-35 slump. Miguel Vargas will shift to the hot corner while Ryan Noda starts at first base in the series finale at Colorado.

Lee will start at second base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Rays.

The Twins sent Lee to the bench for the previous two contests, but he came up big in a reserve role Saturday, going 1-for-2 with a walk-off RBI bunt single in a 6-5 win. Lee will rejoin the starting nine for the series finale, but he'll likely need to raise his production at the plate to ensure he maintains a regular spot in the lineup over Harrison Bader, who will head to the bench after making four straight starts. Over his last seven games, Lee has gone 3-for-19 with no walks and seven strikeouts, bringing his slash line down to .272/.306/.402 for the season.

Mauricio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Mauricio looks to have moved into a utility role following the return of Mark Vientos from the injured list. With Vientos settling back in at third base, Brett Baty has been getting more exposure to second base, which has closed off Mauricio's primary avenues to playing time. The switch-hitting rookie's outlook for at-bats won't improve when Jesse Winker (oblique) likely returns from the injured list during the upcoming week to give the Mets another option at designated hitter.

McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

After starting each of the last seven games and going 9-for-26 with two home runs, three RBI and six runs, McKinstry will receive a breather. Javier Baez will slide over from his usual spot at shortstop to fill in for McKinstry at third base.

Riley went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Orioles.

The third baseman launched a two-run homer off Dean Kremer in the first inning. although the lead didn't last long for Atlanta. Riley snapped a 13-game homer drought with the blast, but his power was showing signs of returning before Saturday -- over his last 12 contests, he's slashing .292/.333/.479 with four doubles and a triple among his 14 hits. On the season, Riley's up to 13 home runs and 45 RBI in 88 games, but a .761 OPS would be his lowest mark since 2020.

Barger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Barger will head to the bench with southpaw Tyler Anderson on the bump for the Halos. Joey Loperfido will fill in as the Blue Jays' right fielder.

Wagner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

With southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, Wagner will hit the bench Sunday. The 26-year-old utility player has a clear path to playing time against right-handed pitching through the All-Star break, and Wagner had started five of the past six games. Andres Gimenez (ankle) landing on the injured list Sunday will create even more opportunities on the infield, although Davis Schneider and Leo Jimenez will also be in the mix at the keystone.
