Caissie is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

After four consecutive starts, the left-handed hitter will move to the bench while southpaw Jackson Kent takes the bump for the Nationals. Agustin Ramirez will serve as the Marlins' designated hitter in Caissie's stead.

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

Mack started the past three contests after missing a few days due to a shoulder issue, so he's likely just getting a rest day after going 1-for-11 since rejoining the lineup. Brian Navarreto is working behind the plate and batting ninth in the series finale versus Washington.

Marsee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

After four consecutive starts, the left-handed-hitting Marsee will move to the bench while southpaw Jackson Kent takes the bump for the Nationals. Esteury Ruiz will cover center field in Marsee's stead Sunday.

Chaparro will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Since being called up from Triple-A Rochester on May 19, Chaparro has largely served as a short-side platoon player for the Nationals, but he's begun to gain traction in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. He'll crack the starting nine against a righty for the third time in four games, and on the season he sports a 1.127 OPS with three homers in 35 plate appearances in that split.

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

After starting at third base in each of the last three games while going 2-for-8 with three walks, House will take a seat for the series finale while Jorbit Vivas mans the hot corner. House has put together a modest .699 OPS over 24 second-half games with the Nationals, but that may be enough to give him in the edge in playing time over Vivas, who is slashing just .214/.324/.250 over that same timeframe.

Bohm is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to what interim manager Don Mattingly described as hamstring or groin tightness, Cory Nidoh of PhillySportsNetwork.com reports.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 12-3 win before making a late exit due to what appears to be a minor injury. Though Bohm won't start Sunday, Mattingly downplayed most of the concern about the first baseman's health, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Kyle Schwarber will draw the start at first base in the series finale, but Bohm could appear at some point off the bench, if needed.

Church is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The Cardinals will keep the left-handed hitter on the bench for the second time in the series while the Phillies send another southpaw starter to the bump in Cristopher Sanchez. Jose Fermin will replace Church in center field and bat seventh.

Crooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed hitter will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Phillies send another southpaw to the hill in Cristopher Sanchez. Pedro Pages will handle catching duties Sunday in place of Crooks while Ivan Herrera is the DH.

Hentges (1-6) took the loss and was charged with a blown save Saturday against the Red Sox, allowing two earned runs on two hits and an intentional walk across one-third of an inning. He also hit a batter.

Hentges entered in the ninth inning with a runner on first base and plunked the first batter he faced. The 30-year-old southpaw went on to give up a single and a double before Boston won on a fielder's choice. Hentges owns a 3.56 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 33:23 K:BB across 30.1 innings this season.

The Marlins recalled Ralston from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

The right-hander was added to Miami's 40-man roster in early August, and he's now on the cusp of making his major-league debut. Ralston has enjoyed a strong season for the Jumbo Shrimp with a 2.04 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 76:30 K:BB across 61.2 innings out of the bullpen.
