Doyle is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Doyle will begin on the bench Sunday after going 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Saturday's victory. Mickey Moniak is getting a start in center field in Doyle's stead.

Marte (personal) isn't in the starting lineup Sunday against St. Louis.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that "all indications" were that Marte would be back with the team Sunday, per SI.com, but the star second baseman isn't on the lineup card for a third straight contest coming out of the All-Star break. It's not clear if Marte will be available off the bench, but he'd first need to be removed from the restricted list. Blaze Alexander is picking up another start at the keystone in Marte's stead.

The Brewers called up Black from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Black fractured the hamate bone in his right hand in late March and missed over six weeks of action. He's largely struggled in 24 contests with Nashville since returning in mid-May, posting a .191/.301/.303 slash line, but he has produced five stolen bases, two homers and 17 RBI. Black's first big-league opportunity in 2025 comes as a result of Jake Bauers landing on the 10-day IL on Sunday due to a shoulder injury.

The Brewers placed Bauers on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left shoulder impingement.

Bauers had started two of Milwaukee's previous three games, but he'll now be out of action for at least 10 days. The veteran has been slumping at the plate, batting just .085 (4-for-47) across his past 23 games. Infielder Tyler Black was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday to take Bauers' spot on the 26-man roster.

Johnson is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Nationals on Sunday.

Johnson wasn't in San Diego's original lineup, but he's now picking up a start in center field, as Jackson Merrill was scratched due to an illness. This will be the third start for Johnson over San Diego's past eight contests, and he's posted a .304/.360/.391 slash line with no homers, two RBI and two steals over 22 games this season.

Merrill was removed from the starting lineup Sunday versus Washington because of an illness.

Merrill was initially set to start in center field and bat fifth, but he was a late scratch in favor of Bryce Johnson. The Padres haven't revealed whether Merrill will be available off the bench.

Betts is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Sunday versus Milwaukee, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Betts was given a day off to reset Saturday, but his absence will end up lasting just one day. the 32-year-old will also hit leadoff in his return -- according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, it's the first time Betts will be batting atop the order since June 2024. Shohei Ohtani, who has been the Dodgers' leadoff hitter this season, is batting second as manager Dave Roberts shakes things up following the team's two-game skid coming out of the All-Star break.

Hill is not in Sunday's lineup against Kansas City due to a minor finger injury, Nate Karzmer of Fish on First reports.

According to manager Clayton McCullough, Hill picked up the injury in the batting cage Saturday. However, it doesn't seem like the outfielder is dealing with a significant issue, as he's available off the bench Sunday. Hill has been working as Miami's fourth outfielder, and his last start came July 12, two games prior to the All-Star break.

The Reds have returned Spiers (shoulder) from his minor-league rehab assignment due to right bicep soreness, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Spiers landed on the injured list due to a right shoulder impingement April 20 and was transferred to the 60-day IL in late May. He appeared to be nearing activation, as the right-hander began a rehab assignment July 3 and worked up to 75 pitches over 3.1 frames in his most recent outing Saturday, but he's experienced a setback due to an issue with his right bicep. It's unclear how much more time Spiers will need to miss as a result.

Pham isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against the White Sox.

Pham started in left field in Pittsburgh's first two games of the second half, going 1-for-9. Jack Suwinski will handle left field for the series finale versus Chicago.
