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

McCutchen will get a breather after starting the last five games and going 5-for-24 with two home runs, two walks, seven RBI and four runs. Bryan Reynolds will serve as the designated hitter in McCutchen's stead.

Flores (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Flores will be relegated to the bench for a second straight game after his left hamstring tightened up on him Friday. According to MLB.com, he's considered day-to-day, and the Giants don't believe he'll require a trip to the injured list. With Flores sitting out Sunday, Rafael Devers will serve as the designated hitter while Dominic Smith steps in at first base.

Yelich went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored during Saturday's 8-2 win over the Nationals.

Yelich got things started for the Brewers with an RBI single in the first inning, and he followed that up with a 390-foot solo home run to center field off Jake Irvin. Saturday was Yelich's 27th multi-hit game of the season and fourth in 13 games since the All-Star break. He has a .724 OPS with 10 runs, one steal, two home runs and seven RBI since the break.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Saturday in a 2-0 win against the Yankees.

Ramirez provided all the offense in the contest, smashing a solo homer in the first and fourth frames. The first-year backstop is making a serious case for Rookie of the Year consideration, slashing .244/.289/.471 with 17 home runs, 48 runs, 50 RBI and five stolen bases through 85 games. Among major-league rookies, only Nick Kurtz has more homers (23) or RBI (50) than Ramirez.

Flores (hamstring) is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Mets on Saturday.

Flores was removed from Friday's game after injuring his hamstring while running to first base in the eighth inning. He'll be out of action for Saturday's contest, with Rafael Devers serving as the designated hitter and Dominic Smith starting at first base.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a walk, two stolen bases, two RBI and one run in Friday's 13-12 win over the Yankees.

After pilfering a bag in his MLB debut April 21, Ramirez went without a steal for 76 straight games before recently increasing his involvement in the running game. In his last seven starts, Ramirez has now gone 4-for-4 on stolen-base attempts while also chipping in three extra-base hits (one home run, two doubles) during that span. The 23-year-old continues to occupy a prominent spot in the Miami lineup, and his ability to contribute both as a power hitter and occasionally on the basepaths should make him a must-roster option even in one-catcher leagues for the rest of the season.

McCutchen went 3-for-5 with a walk, a three-run home run, three runs scored and five RBI in Friday's 17-16 loss to the Rockies.

It was a game in which McCutchen looked a lot like the player who won the 2013 NL MVP Award, knocking in five and picking up three hits. However, those moments have been rarer than in most seasons; his five RBI on Friday were more than he had in the entirety of July (three) and his OPS, boosted to .714 after his big game, is still on track to be his second-worst as a pro. The 17-year veteran is up to 11 home runs and 39 RBI in 96 games.

Flores was pulled from Friday's game versus the Mets with left hamstring tightness, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Flores had to make an early exit from Friday's contest after tweaking his hamstring while running to first base in the eighth inning. The Giants haven't offered any information regarding the severity of the infielder's injury, but they may err on the side of caution and allow him to recover while keeping him on the bench for a day or two. Any missed time for Flores would likely spell DH reps for Rafael Devers and put Dominic Smith at first base.

Flores was removed from Friday's game against the Mets with a lower-body injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Flores came up lame after legging out an infield single in the eighth inning and was immediately lifted for a pinch runner. It isn't immediately clear what is bothering the 33-year-old, but more information should come from the Giants after they take a closer look at him.

The Cubs optioned Ballesteros to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The 21-year-old was called up Wednesday by Chicago and went 1-for-2 with three-run double that day against Milwaukee, but he'll head back to the minors to make room on the MLB roster for trade deadline acquisition Willi Castro. Ballesteros has a .334/.393/.497 slash line with 26 doubles, nine homers and three steals in 86 games this year at Iowa.
