Myers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Myers will hit the bench after he had started each of Miami's last three games while going 0-for-6 with two walks. Troy Johnston had started at first base in his first two MLB games but will fill in for Myers in right field Sunday.

Riley was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds due to lower abdominal pain.

Sunday was slated to be an off day for Cincinnati and Atlanta, but the two clubs instead resumed Saturday's MLB Speedway Classic after the game was suspended in the first inning due to rain. Riley struck out swinging Saturday before the game was halted, and he was replaced by Luke Williams before coming up to the plate Sunday. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and Riley should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus Milwaukee. Given that Riley was reinstated July 25 following a stint on the injured list due to a lower abdominal strain, it's worrisome that he's seemingly dealing with a recurrence of the injury just over a week later.

Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Baty will head to the bench for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against left-handed starters. He could be at risk of losing out on starts versus right-handers, too, as Jeff McNeil will see more time in the infield after the Mets acquired center fielder Cedric Mullins from the Orioles on Thursday, giving Ronny Mauricio one fewer path to playing time. Baty, Mauricio and Mark Vientos will battle for starts at third base, but Mauricio's .886 OPS this season against righties is well ahead of Baty's .729 OPS in that split.

Mauricio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Mauricio will head to the bench while Mark Vientos starts at third base Sunday. The acquisition of Cedric Mullins at the trade deadline will limit Jeff McNeil to primarily second base, and in turn, Mauricio could be part of a committee at the hot corner with Vientos and Brett Baty.

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.

The Rockies optioned Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The 26-year-old recently fell into more of a part-time role and has now lost his place on the major-league roster. Toglia has played in 85 games for the Rockies this season and has a .194/.261/.361 slash line and 38.3 percent strikeout rate over 329 plate appearances.

The Rockies recalled Anderson from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The right-hander was demoted to Triple-A on Monday but is back with the Rockies with Seth Halvorsen (elbow) landing on the injured list in a corresponding move. Anderson surrendered five earned runs over one innings during his lone appearance with Colorado following his call-up in late July.

The Rockies placed Halvorsen on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right elbow strain.

Halvorsen's elbow acted up Saturday, prompting the Rockies to pull him from the contest midway through Spencer Horwitz's at-bat. Though Dugan Darnell ended up finishing out the contest, Victor Vodnik and Juan Mejia could be the top options for saves while Halvorsen is on the shelf. According to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, the right-hander will undergo an MRI on Sunday, and he's likely to miss more than the minimum 15 days. Halvorsen has converted 11 of 14 save chances while providing a 4.99 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 36:21 K:BB in 39.2 innings on the season.

House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

After tying a career high with three hits in a July 22 win over the Reds, House has fallen into a 5-for-30 skid at the plate while striking out 11 times over his last eight games. Jose Tena will step in at third base Sunday in place of House, who will hit the bench for the second time in four games amid his rough stretch at the dish.

Adams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Adams will get a chance to catch his breath after he started five of the previous six games. Drew Millas will handle catching duties Sunday, forming a battery with starting pitcher Brad Lord.
