Reyes went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Reyes capped the scoring for the Indians with a round tripper to right field in the seventh inning. The home run was his second in four games since returning from a two-game absence Thursday. The 24-year-old is slashing .243/.307/.505 with 36 homers and 79 RBI in 145 games between San Diego and Cleveland this season.

Alvarez went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Angels.

It was Alvarez's second four-hit performance this month, but oddly enough, he somehow didn't drive in a run Sunday. Still, he boosted his season OPS to 1.103 with 52 extra-base hits and 77 RBI over 351 plate appearances.

Solak is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Solak drilled a home run in Saturday's 12-3 loss, but it was his only hit of the day and left him in a 3-for-23 skid over his past six contests. The Rangers will give the rookie a day to clear his head, allowing Ronald Guzman to crack the lineup in the series finale.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Blackmon takes a seat in what likely amounts to routine maintenance following a string of seven straight starts. During that stretch, Blackmon went 8-for-25 with three home runs, three walks, a double and five RBI. Sam Hilliard replaces Blackmon in right field.

Vogelbach is not in Sunday's lineup due to a sore neck, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

The extent of the injury isn't known, though Vogelbach did exit Saturday's contest early. Tom Murphy is serving as the team's designated hitter Sunday in Vogelbach's absence.

Dickerson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Dickerson started in left field the last two times the Giants faced right-handed starters, but the team is facing a left-hander Sunday for the third time in four games, and Joey Rickard has gotten the start in left in all three of those instances.

Belt is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

The Giants will take on left-hander Dallas Keuchel on Sunday, so as has been the case all month, Belt will not be in the lineup with a southpaw on the mound for the opponent. Austin Slater will get the start at first base in Belt's place.

Carpenter is starting at third base Sunday for the third straight day.

Starts have been few and far between for Carpenter in September, but he has gotten a chance to see regular at-bats this weekend with Kolten Wong (hamstring) sidelined. Carpenter will play third base Sunday and hit sixth in the Cardinals' batting order.

Cabrera (knee) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Cabrera was scratched from Saturday's lineup with knee soreness and remains out Sunday. It remains unclear if Cabrera will return to assume his regular role prior to the close of the season, though it's safe to assume the team will take a cautious approach. Christin Stewart will handle the designated hitter duties in his place and bat fifth.

Vogelbach is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Vogelbach is hitting just .178 this month and .163 against lefties this season, so it doesn't come as much surprise he is being held out Sunday against Orioles starter John Means. Tom Murphy will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter.
