Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies and is considered day-to-day with a forearm injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Marte received precautionary X-rays following Saturday's game against the Phillies after getting hit by a pitch in the eighth inning. He stayed in the game and went 2-for-2 with one triple and three RBI in the loss. The X-rays came back negative, so while Marte appears to have avoided a major injury, he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. He could return to the lineup for the Mets' upcoming three-game series versus the Nationals that begins Monday.

Marte has been shut down from throwing with Triple-A Lehigh Valley due to a shoulder injury, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Seidman relays that the injury is serious enough that Marte could be done for the rest of the regular season. Marte's last outing in Triple-A was Sept. 5 against Buffalo, during which he gave up three runs on three hits and one walk over one inning. The 29-year-old right-hander appeared in 23 games for the Phillies this season and posted a 6.92 ERA and 1.88 WHIP over 26 innings.

Marsh is not starting Sunday against the Mets.

The Mets are sending southpaw David Peterson to the mound Sunday, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will begin the game on the bench. Marsh has gone 11-for-36 with one home run and four RBI across 42 plate appearances in September. Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth.

Stott is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Mets.

Stott went 1-for-8 with one run scored over the first two games of the series, and he will begin Sunday's game in the dugout. Buddy Kennedy will start at second base and bat eighth against Mets left-hander David Peterson.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Saturday's win over San Francisco.

Bogaerts jumped on a hanging sweeper from Mason Black in the top of the fourth and sent it into the stands for his 10th home run of the campaign and his third in September. The shortstop has now hit safely and driven in a run in three consecutive games, though he's still batting just .238 (10-for-42) this month with eight RBI and five runs scored. Bogaerts also has just two multi-hit games since Aug. 23.

Abrams (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

It's the third straight game on the bench for Abrams due to shoulder soreness after he was scratched from the starting nine for Friday's series opener versus Miami. Nasim Nunez will receive another look at shortstop for the Nationals. Manager Dave Martinez indicated Abrams could be available off the bench Sunday and may return to the lineup Monday against the Mets, per Nusbaum.

De La Cruz is absent from Sunday's lineup against Kansas City.

De La Cruz went 2-for-8 with one run scored and two strikeouts over the first two games of the series, and he will sit for the finale Sunday. Billy Cook will start in right field and bat ninth against Royals right-hander Brady Singer.

Benson (finger) is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Twins.

Benson is not starting for a third straight game after sustaining an injury to his left middle finger during Thursday's game against the Cardinals. He did enter Saturday's game against the Twins in the bottom of the seventh inning in right field, and he hit an RBI single in the eighth frame. Benson will likely be available out of the dugout for Sunday's series finale, and with the Reds scheduled for an off-day Monday, the 26-year-old could return to the lineup for Cincinnati's upcoming home series against Atlanta.

The Phillies designated Garcia for assignment Sunday.

Garcia was promoted to the big club Sept. 7 after J.T. Realmuto suffered a knee injury. Garcia appeared in three games for the Phillies and went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over that span. The move makes room on the 28-man roster for the reinstatement of third baseman Alec Bohm (hand) from the 10-day injured list.

The Phillies reinstated Bohm (hand) from the 10-day injured list. He'll start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Mets.

Bohm injured his left hand in late August and was placed on the 10-day IL on Sept. 3. He made one rehab appearance on Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, when he went 2-for-4 with one double. The Phillies evidently saw enough from Bohm on Saturday to bring him back with the big club, and he'll immediately reclaim his spot in the infield rather than being eased back in as the designated hitter.
