Nationals' Luis Garcia: Resting back injury again
Garcia (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Garcia will miss a third straight contest while he manages a tight back, but the Nationals are viewing him as day-to-day after an MRI came back negative, per MLB.com. According to Andrew Golden of The Washington Post, Garcia was spotted fielding grounders prior to Sunday's game, which could bode well for his chances of returning to the lineup Monday in Kansas City.

Connor Seabold RP | TOR
Braves' Connor Seabold: Finds home with Atlanta
Atlanta claimed Seabold off waivers from Tampa Bay on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Though he'll report to Triple-A, Seabold will provide Atlanta with organizational starting pitching depth as the big club navigates numerous injuries to its rotation. Seabold made a pair of multi-inning relief appearances for Tampa Bay but has primarily worked out of the rotation at Triple-A Durham this season, logging a 6.49 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 57:26 K:BB across 61 innings.

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

Anthony Seigler C | BOS
Brewers' Anthony Seigler: Idle against lefty
Seigler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
The switch-hitting Seigler has been seeing more starts against right-handed pitching lately at Caleb Durbin's expense, but Durbin remains the Brewers' clear top option at third base when Milwaukee faces a lefty, such as Mets starter Sean Manaea. Seigler has done little at the plate to earn extra playing time however, batting just .192 (5-for-26) since the All-Star break with zero extra-base hits.
