Young (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Alex Call will pick up a start in center field. Young can be considered day-to-day due to a right finger contusion heading into Monday's series opener in Houston.

Haase will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

William Contreras will stick in the lineup at designated hitter in a rare day off from catching, allowing Haase to enter the starting nine for just the 16th time all season. Haase carries a .224/.278/.358 slash line into Sunday's contest.

Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Perkins will hit the bench for the second day in a row after he had started in five of Milwaukee's six contests before that. With Sal Frelick returning from the injured list Saturday, Perkins looks set to fill more of a fourth-outfielder role moving forward for the Brewers.

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

After starting the first two games of the series, Wagaman will give way to Liam Hicks at first base. Wagaman is slashing just .118/.211/.137 since the beginning of July, and his playing time could dwindle as a result.

Frelick is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Frelick was reinstated from the injured list Saturday after missing a couple weeks due to a hamstring strain, and he went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in his return to the lineup. Christian Yelich will receive a start in the outfield Sunday, opening up the DH spot for William Contreras.

Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Herrera and James McCann had alternated starts behind the plate in each of the previous nine games, but McCann will collect a second straight start Sunday. The two backstops will continue to split the workload until Gabriel Moreno (finger) returns from the 60-day injured list.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

After starting in each of Arizona's last five games, Gurriel will get a break while the Diamondbacks run out a starting outfield of Jake McCarthy, Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll from left to right. Since the All-Star break, Gurriel has gone 5-for-26 with one RBI and one run.

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

With a tough southpaw (Carlos Rodon) on the bump for New York, the left-handed-hitting Marsh will take a seat while the right-handed-hitting Johan Rojas replaces him in center field. While starting in each of the Phillies' previous 12 games, Marsh went 9-for-43 (.209 average) with zero home runs, zero steals, one RBI and five runs.

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

After starting six straight games against right-handed starters, Kepler will take a seat against southpaw Carlos Rodon. Kyle Schwarber will draw the start in left field.

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

Stott started the previous six games and went 4-for-18 with two doubles, a homer and two stolen bases during that stretch. Weston Wilson will man the keystone and bat eighth versus New York lefty Carlos Rodon on Sunday.
