  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Resting up Sunday

    Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Goodman will get a chance to rest in the series finale after he had started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the Rockies' previous five contests. Braxton Fulford will get a turn behind the plate Sunday, while Brenton Doyle gets a day off from playing center field as the DH.

  • Jimmy Crooks C | STL

    Cardinals' Jimmy Crooks: Idle Sunday

    Crooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Crooks will take a seat for the day game after starting three of the last four contests while going 1-for-10 with a run scored. Pedro Pages will draw the start at catcher Sunday, but with the 71-72 Cardinals fading from playoff contention, it wouldn't be surprising if the rookie Crooks ended up seeing the bulk of the playing time at the position for the remainder of the season.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Returns to No. 2 role

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    On the bench for the second time in three days, Trevino is likely to see his playing time dwindle over the final few weeks of the season after top backstop Tyler Stephenson was reinstated from the injured list Friday. Trevino has produced at least one hit in each of his last three starts but has struggled on the whole since the All-Star break, slashing just .186/.226/.221 with no home runs or stolen bases.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Getting breather Sunday

    Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Bailey started the previous six games and will receive a day off after posting an .855 OPS during that span. Andrew Knizner will step in behind the plate to do the catching for righty Kai-Wei Teng.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Idle Sunday

    Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Dingler will get the Sunday afternoon game off after he had started behind the dish Friday and Saturday. Jake Rogers will handle catching duties for Detroit in the series finale.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Idle Sunday

    Quero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Quero will get a breather after he had started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the last four contests. Kyle Teel will be behind the dish Sunday, while Andrew Benintendi serves as Chicago's DH.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Taking seat Sunday

    Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    The 25-year-old backstop had started behind the plate in four of the previous six games, but he'll cede catching duties to Joey Bart in the series finale. Davis hasn't provided much to get excited about for fantasy purposes lately, slashing .145/.203/.274 since Aug. 1 with two home runs, one stolen base, seven RBI and six runs in 21 games.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Receiving breather Sunday

    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Realmuto started the previous seven games and will receive Sunday off, which will put his modest four-game hit streak on hold, barring an appearance off the bench. Rafael Marchan is stepping in behind the plate for the series finale in Miami.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Sitting Sunday

    Basallo (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    The 20-year-old departed Saturday's game after taking a foul tip off his right hand. X-rays on his hand came back negative, so it appears Basallo won't miss extended time. Alex Jackson will step in behind the dish Sunday.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Goes on IL with concussion

    The Twins placed Jeffers on the 7-day injured list Sunday with a concussion.

    Jeffers took a foul tip off the mask Thursday and had been held out of the lineup for Minnesota's ensuing two games. With the backstop now having been diagnosed with a concussion, he won't be eligible to rejoin the Twins until next Friday. Mickey Gasper and Jhonny Pereda will serve as the Twins' options behind the plate while both Jeffers and Christian Vazquez (shoulder) are on the shelf.
