Pages is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Pages will get a breather for the series finale after he started at catcher each of the previous three days. Ivan Herrera -- who had served as the Cardinals' designated hitter in all three of those contests -- will fill in for Pages behind the plate Sunday.

Winn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Winn started the previous 35 games but will hit the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 9-for-49 (.184 batting average) slump. Jose Barrero will take over at shortstop and bat ninth versus Milwaukee righty Quinn Priester.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Marte has been a lineup regular of late and has an .865 OPS through 11 games in June, but he'll take a seat Sunday. Francisco Lindor is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Luisangel Acuna receives a start at shortstop.

The Mets recalled Adcock from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Adcock will join the bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Justin Garza, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Over 18 appearances with Syracuse this season, Adcock owns a 4.91 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 22 innings.

The Mets optioned Garza to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Garza had covered three scoreless innings over the past two days, so he wasn't going to be available for the next game or two. New York opted to swap him off the 26-man roster for Ty Adcock, who was recalled from Syracuse.

The Marlins optioned Veneziano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Veneziano worked 1.1 innings and tossed 49 pitches between a pair of relief appearances the past two days, so he wasn't going to be available Sunday. The Marlins opted to swap him for a fresh bullpen arm in Freddy Tarnok, whose contract was selected from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

The Marlins selected Tarnok's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Tarnok had been working primarily in the rotation at Jacksonville while posting a 4.79 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB in 41.1 innings over 12 appearances (10 starts). The Marlins are expected to deploy the right-hander out of the bullpen initially, but if he isn't needed over the next few days, he could be a candidate to make a spot start later next week.

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

Norby will take a seat after going 0-for-8 with a walk and an RBI during the first two games of the series in DC. Javier Sanoja will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh Sunday.

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

Hicks will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with the Marlins having faced three left-handed starters during that stretch. The Rule 5 pick will see plenty of action between catcher, first base and DH when the team faces right-handed pitching, as he's slashing a magnificent .302/.374/.500 over 107 plate appearances in that split this season.

Stowers is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Stowers has made 10 starts against left-handed pitching this season and has an .834 OPS versus southpaws, but he'll take a seat Sunday with MacKenzie Gore on the mound for Washington. Heriberto Hernandez will start in left field and bat fifth in the series finale.
