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

Though Turang isn't a strict platoon player, he'll take a seat against Mets lefty Sean Manaea as the Brewers go for their ninth straight win Sunday. Andruw Monasterio will step in at second base.

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.

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

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

Vientos will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets go with Jeff McNeil at designated hitter, Brett Baty at second base and Ronny Mauricio at third base. Since swatting a grand slam July 28, Vientos has fallen into a skid at the plate, posting a .526 OPS over his last eight contests.

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

With the Pirates playing out the string on a non-contending season, McCutchen has been subject to more veteran days off recently. He'll exit the lineup Sunday for the fourth time in the Pirates' last eight games, paving the way for Jack Suwinski to crack the starting nine in right field.
