Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

He'll take a seat for the day game after he went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two additional runs in Saturday's 11-7 win. Austin Wynns will pick up the start at catcher Sunday.

Bender walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday during a 4-0 win over Atlanta.

While it wasn't a save situation, it was still another sign that the right-hander is viewed as the best high-leverage option in the bullpen right now by the Marlins. Calvin Faucher, Bender's main competition for closing duties, recorded the final two outs of the eighth Saturday. Bender hasn't given up a run in four appearances to begin the season, but his 2:2 K:BB in 3.2 innings has been far from dominant.

Atlanta reinstated Murphy (rib) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

The 30-year-old was expected to finish up his rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday before likely rejoining Atlanta on Tuesday, but the club elected to activated him early after Sunday's game against the Marlins was postponed. Murphy will take over as the club's primary backstop, and prospect Drake Baldwin is set to fill the backup job after Chadwick Tromp was designated for assignment.

Kiner-Falefa will start at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday against the Yankees after Jared Triolo (undisclosed) was scratched, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Kiner-Falefa was poised to receive his first day off this season but will instead take his usual post at shortstop. He's batting .321 (9-for-28) with no extra-base hits and four steals in 33 plate appearances.

Triolo was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Yankees due to an unspecified issue, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa was a late addition to the lineup in place of Triolo and will start at shortstop and bat ninth. The Pirates will likely provide an explanation behind Triolo's removal from the lineup later Sunday.

The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Designated as the Cardinals' 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox, Graceffo will be available out of the bullpen and will likely be optioned back to Memphis immediately after the twin bill. Prior to receiving the call-up, Graceffo made one start for the Triple-A club, giving up four earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five over 2.1 innings March 30 versus Louisville.

The Dodgers placed Snell on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left shoulder inflammation.

According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Snell completed a bullpen session Sunday and informed the Los Angeles training staff afterward that his shoulder was bothering him. Rather than reassessing Snell in a few days and seeing if the inflammation dissipates, the Dodgers will send him to the IL, making him ineligible to pitch again for the big club until April 18. The Dodgers recalled right-hander Matt Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City to provide coverage in the bullpen in the short term, but Snell's absence means that the team will need to break in a new rotation member Tuesday in Washington.

Burleson is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus Boston, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Lefty Sean Newcomb is taking the mound for the Red Sox, so Burleson will hit the bench as he and Luken Baker continue to work in a platoon at designated hitter.

Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Kiner-Falefa will get his first day off this season after slashing .321/.424/.321 with four stolen bases, three runs and an RBI through Pittsburgh's first nine games. Jared Triolo will fill in for Kiner-Falefa at shortstop and as the Pirates' No. 9 hitter.

Donovan is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Donovan started the first eight contests of the season and batted .267 (8-for-30) with two homers and six RBI, but he'll take a seat for the opener of the twin bill. Prospect Thomas Saggese will man the keystone and bat seventh in the matinee.
