Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey went 3-for-7 with a double while starting the first two games of the series, but he'll sit Sunday for the afternoon finale. Curt Casali is batting eighth and catching for right-hander Landen Roupp.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade went 6-for-15 with a double and two RBI while starting the previous five games, but he'll sit Sunday as southpaw Martin Perez takes the mound for San Diego. Mark Canha will step in at first base for San Francisco.

Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

For just the third time in 13 games on the month, Perkins will take a seat while Milwaukee goes with a starting outfield of Jackson Chourio, Garrett Mitchell and Sal Frelick from left to right. Since returning from a stint on the injured list Aug. 22, Perkins has slashed an anemic .197/.287/.258 over 19 games. He could soon be at risk of moving into more of a fourth-outfielder role.

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

The lefty-hitting Pederson will take a seat for the series finale while the Brewers send southpaw DL Hall to the bump. Josh Bell will get the starting nod at designated hitter in Pederson's stead.

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

With a left-hander (DL Hall) starting for the Brewers, the left-handed-hitting Del Castillo will head to the bench while Jose Herrera gets the nod behind the plate. Though Del Castillo had typically been seeing most of the starts against right-handed pitching since he was promoted from Triple-A Reno on Aug. 6, he and Herrera are both likely to see their opportunities diminish over the final two weeks of the season after Arizona reinstated top backstop Gabriel Moreno (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. Moreno could draw back into the lineup as soon as Monday in Colorado.

The Diamondbacks placed Sewald on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left neck discomfort.

The timing of Sewald's move to the IL means that he won't be eligible to return until the Diamondbacks' final series of the regular season, which begins Sept. 27. Even before the neck issue cropped up, Sewald's fantasy value had been on the downturn with Justin Martinez having started to build up security as the Diamondbacks' preferred closing option. Sewald didn't help his case for regaining the closer's gig after giving up at least one run in four of his last six appearances before landing on the IL.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Moreno (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Moreno won't enter the lineup Sunday against the Brewers in his return to the 28-man active roster, but the 24-year-old will be available off the bench after completing his recovery from the left adductor strain that had kept him on the shelf for nearly five weeks. Though he didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, Moreno was able to prove his health by playing in simulated games at the Diamondbacks' spring facility in Arizona in recent days. He could be eased back into the fold with a lighter catching load initially, but the expectation is that Moreno will be ready to serve as the club's No. 1 backstop by the time the postseason gets underway.

The Diamondbacks recalled Walston from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

The left-hander was activated from the injured list in mid-August after missing two months due to an elbow issue, but he was immediately sent to Triple-A. Walston has started in two of his three appearances with Arizona this season, but he's likely to work in a long-relief role this time around.

The Diamondbacks designated Floro for assignment Sunday.

The right-hander was acquired from the Nationals at the summer trade deadline, but he struggled to a 9.37 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings with the Diamondbacks. Floro could elect to become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed, but he won't be eligible for the playoffs with a new team.

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

Goodman will take a seat for the series finale after he started behind the dish Friday and Saturday. Even though he's unlikely to be used Sunday, Goodman paid huge dividends for fantasy managers that streamed him this weekend, as he went 3-for-4 with two home runs and seven RBI in Friday's 9-5 win. The Rockies have been running a three-man committee at catcher lately with Goodman, Jacob Stallings and Drew Romo, but Goodman's ability to play first base, corner outfield and designated hitter in addition to working behind the plate should enable him to handle a near-everyday role down the stretch.
