Doyle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Though Doyle delivered a pinch-hit solo home run in Saturday's 10-3 loss, Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer will stick to his plan of keeping the outfielder out of the lineup for all three games of the weekend series. Schaeffer is hoping that the time off will provide a needed reset for Doyle, who had slashed .175/.204/.272 with a 25 percent strikeout rate dating back to the start of June before he slugged the solo home run Saturday. Mickey Moniak will patrol center field Sunday, but Doyle -- a two-time Gold Glove Award winner -- should settle back into an everyday role within the next few days.

Farmer will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Sunday against the White Sox.

Farmer has been getting most of his starts against left-handed pitching lately, but he'll crack the lineup Sunday with righty Shane Smith on the hill. Since the start of June, Farmer has batted .178 with one home run and a 1:13 BB:K over a stretch of 16 games.

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

The 26-year-old will take a seat for the series finale while Austin Nola receives a turn behind the plate. Goodman had started at catcher in the previous two contests, going 1-for-9 with a double and a run.

Holmes (4-8) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five.

While he was ultimately outdueled by Trevor Rogers in a 2-1 loss, Holmes delivered another strong performance Sunday. The right-hander has pitched to a 1.86 ERA over his last five starts (29 innings) while striking out 41 in that span. Overall, Holmes sports a 3.44 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP and 118:48 K:BB across 102 innings this season. He's currently slated to face the Cardinals on the road his next time out.

Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox due to right hamstring soreness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old started the previous seven games and went 10-for-22 over the past six contests, but the hamstring issue will force him to the bench Sunday. Freeman said that his injury isn't serious, noting that soreness and cramping with his legs sometimes happens toward the end of homestands at the higher elevation. Yanquiel Fernandez will replace Freeman in the lineup in the series finale, manning right field and batting eighth.

The Brewers transferred Mitchell (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

The transaction is merely procedural with Mitchell on track to miss the rest of the season after undergoing left shoulder surgery Tuesday. In a corresponding move, Milwaukee reinstated Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his 2025 debut Sunday against the Marlins.

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

Ortiz started the previous 37 games and will take a seat Sunday while he's in the midst of a 4-for-29 slump. Despite those poor numbers, the 27-year-old has been decently productive in 30 games since the start of June with four home runs, 20 RBI, 15 runs and a .263/.311/.424 slash line. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at shortstop in the series finale in Miami.

Collins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Miami.

Collins has a .951 OPS with three double, one triple and four home runs in 26 games since the start of June, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins. Christian Yelich will move out to left field while William Contreras receives a turn at designated hitter.

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

On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Mauricio looks to have moved into a utility role following the return of Mark Vientos from the injured list. With Vientos settling back in at third base, Brett Baty has been getting more exposure to second base, which has closed off Mauricio's primary avenues to playing time. The switch-hitting rookie's outlook for at-bats won't improve when Jesse Winker (oblique) likely returns from the injured list during the upcoming week to give the Mets another option at designated hitter.

Bell went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.

The veteran switch hitter is digging his way out of an early-season hole at the plate. The three-hit performance was Bell's second in the last four games, and over his last 16 contests he's slashing .327/.377/.491 with three doubles, two homers, five runs and 11 RBI.
