Mack is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Agustin Ramirez will make a start behind the plate as Mack gets a breather. Mack handled catching duties in the first two games of the series, going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts to bring his season batting average down to .232.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Yelich started the previous six games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 4-for-23 with eight strikeouts during that span. William Contreras is resting his legs as the designated hitter, which allows Gary Sanchez to pick up a start behind the plate.

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

The left-handed-hitting Gonzalez will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets send another lefty starter (Sean Manaea) to the bump. Jared Triolo will step in for Gonzalez at shortstop and will bat eighth.

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

After starting the past three games, the left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench while southpaw Sean Manaea toes the rubber for the Mets. Rafael Flores will replace Horwitz at first base and bat seventh.

Rodriguez (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Rodriguez will receive a third straight game off while he tends to left hip discomfort. Henry Davis will draw another start behind the plate in place of Rodriguez, who is considered day-to-day.

Mitchell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Mitchell started the previous 12 contests and will receive a day off amid a 5-for-53 slump, which has dropped his OPS 70 points to .763. Brandon Lockridge is instead starting in center field Sunday for the Brewers.

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

Polanco served as the designated hitter for the first two games of the series, but he'll cede those duties to Brett Baty in the finale. Since being activated from the 60-day injured list July 7, Polanco has yet to start more than two consecutive games and has put together a wretched .097/.138/.177 slash line with one home run, three RBI and four runs.

De La Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

De La Cruz has moved into a reserve role in the aftermath of Monday's trade deadline. With the Phillies bringing aboard Luis Arraez and installing him as their everyday second baseman, Bryce Harper has settled into an everyday role in right field as part of a domino effect that has also resulted in Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm changing positions. De La Cruz will hit the bench Sunday for the fifth time in six games.

The Mets selected Weisenburger's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

The 28-year-old righty will hit the big leagues for the first time after he submitted a 7.22 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 46:27 K:BB across 52.1 innings at Syracuse. Weisenburger will likely fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen while he's up in the majors.

Manager Pat Murphy said Pratt, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, is undergoing an MRI on his hamstring, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

The rookie shortstop felt some discomfort during Saturday's contest and believes he could play Sunday, but the club will instead play it safe and send him for medical imaging. Pratt should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated. David Hamilton is shifting to shortstop Sunday while Andrew Vaughn receives a start at third base.
