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

Paul DeJong will replace the left-handed-hitting Garcia at second base while the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the bump. Garcia started in the first two contests of the series, going 3-for-8 with a home run, a double and two RBI.

Lile is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed-hitting Lile had started in each of the last four games, but he'll get Sunday off while the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill. Robert Hassell will fill in for Lile in left field and bat eighth.

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

Baldwin started the first two games of the series, but he'll head to the bench Sunday while southpaw David Peterson takes the hill for New York. Sean Murphy will handle catching duties for Atlanta.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Marte had served as the Mets' designated hitter in each of the last three games, but he'll cede those duties to Pete Alonso in the series finale in Atlanta. Brandon Nimmo (neck) will remain on the bench for a fourth game in a row, but assuming that Nimmo doesn't require a stint on the injured list, Marte will likely be limited to a short-side platoon role heading into the upcoming week.

Nimmo (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Nimmo will miss a fourth straight start and is viewed as day-to-day while he continues to manage a stiff neck. Jeff McNeil will step in as the Mets' starting left fielder Sunday.

Torrens (hand) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game at Atlanta.

Torrens was held out of action for the past three games while managing a sore left hand, but he's made enough progress in his recovery to re-enter the starting nine for the series finale in Atlanta. With Francisco Alvarez (thumb) on the shelf, Torrens should be in line to see the bulk of the starts behind the dish for the Mets now that he's moved past the hand issue.

Devers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Devers will get his first day off since being acquired by the Giants in mid-June, after he turned in a .227/.337/.412 slash line with 10 home runs in his first 58 games for San Francisco. Wilmer Flores will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while Dominic Smith starts at first base.

Turang (wrist) will start at second base and bat sixth Sunday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Turang sat out Saturday's 7-1 loss after being hit by a pitch on the wrist in Friday's series opener, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup after missing just one game. The second baseman has been one of the best hitters in baseball during August and has a 1.190 OPS with eight home runs, six doubles, 20 RBI, 16 runs and two steals in 20 games this month.

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

Realmuto started the previous five contests and is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak, during which he's batting .440 (11-for-25) with two doubles and three home runs, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale versus Washington. Rafael Marchan will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Ranger Suarez.

Lopez (illness) will start at shortstop and bat fifth Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Lopez was held out of the starting nine in the previous three games due to a stomach illness, but he's good to go for the series finale versus Toronto. The 26-year-old has struggled to a .189/.250/.230 slash line with just three extra-base hits (all doubles) through 21 games in August.
