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

Goodman started the first two games of the series in Cincinnati and will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-6 with two walks, a triple and a run. Austin Nola will step in behind the plate to catch Austin Gomber for the final game before the All-Star break.

Estrada (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Estrada suffered the thumb injury in Monday's loss to the Red Sox and will head into the All-Star break having sat out five straight games. The 29-year-old seemed to have avoided a serious injury when he had X-rays come back negative, so he should be good to go for the start of the second half Friday versus Minnesota.

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

Wagaman will hit the bench after he had started at first base each of the previous four games while going 1-for-13 with two walks. Liam Hicks will cover first base in Wagaman's stead.

The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. He'll start at third base and bat eighth in the Marlins' series finale versus the Orioles.

The 24-year-old will fill in for Connor Norby (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. While Norby is on the shelf, Pauley could end up seeing the bulk of the stars at the hot corner, though the Marlins may shield him from left-handed pitching. Pauley posted a poor .545 OPS In 89 plate appearances with Miami earlier this season but had been sporting a hot bat at Triple-A prior to his latest call-up, slashing .395/.452/.789 with four home runs over his last 10 games for Jacksonville.

The Marlins placed Norby on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to left wrist inflammation.

Norby was held out of Saturday's lineup due to the injury and now won't be eligible for activation until July 22. In a corresponding move, the Marlins recalled infielder Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville, and he could see the bulk of the starts at third base while Norby is out. The Marlins could also use Javier Sanoja on the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Pauley.

The Mets reinstated Manaea (elbow/oblique) from the 60-day injured list, and he's expected to work as a bulk reliever Sunday against the Royals.

The left-hander will make his 2025 MLB debut in the final game of the first half, and he is poised to pitch behind starter Clay Holmes in Kansas City. Manaea threw 73 pitches over 3.2 innings during his final rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday and shouldn't face significant workload restrictions, though he could have a suppressed pitch count Sunday as a result of his role. The 33-year-old had a 3.47 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 184:63 K:BB over 181.2 innings for the Mets in 2024 and should work as a traditional starter after the All-Star break.

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

Shaw will close out of the Cubs' first-half schedule having been held out of the lineup for three consecutive games and four of the last five, and he's managed just one hit in 26 at-bats to begin July. Vidal Brujan will get the start at third base after Jon Berti filled in for Shaw over the past two contests, but the Cubs may look to the trade market for an upgrade at the position if the organization isn't convinced that Shaw will be able to improve his offensive production coming out of the All-Star break.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a walk, two solo home runs and a third run scored in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Angels.

The slugging third baseman took Yusei Kikuchi deep in the second and fourth inning, but those were the only runs the Arizona offense produced until the game was well out of hand. Suarez is up to 31 homers on the season in only 94 contests, already eclipsing the 30 long balls he launched in 2024, and the 33-year-old is on pace to top the career-best 49 home runs he delivered in 2019 with the Reds.

Gallen (7-10) took the loss Saturday, surrendering six runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings as the Diamondbacks fell 10-5 to the Angels. He struck out three.

While the right-hander did manage to last at least five innings for the 17th straight start, Gallen crashed back to earth after looking more like his old self to begin July. He's been tagged for at least five runs in three of his last five trips to the mound, and since the beginning of June he's served up 11 homers in only 48.1 innings, with Mike Trout doing the honors Saturday. Gallen will head into the All-Star break laboring under a 5.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 110:45 K:BB through 115 innings.

Rogers threw a scoreless ninth inning in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers, allowing one hit.

Though he gave up one single Saturday, Rogers also induced three groundouts to end the frame efficiently, throwing eight of his 10 pitches for strikes. The right-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in six consecutive appearances and now owns a 1.55 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and a 34:4 K:BB across 46.1 innings in 48 outings.
