Cave will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Though he'll be included in the lineup Sunday over a resting Nolan Jones, the lefty-hitting Cave was on the bench for three of the Rockies' previous four matchups with right-handers. The Rockies look to be prioritizing Jones and Jordan Beck as starters in the corner outfield ahead of Cave, a 31-year-old journeyman who is entering his final year of arbitration this winter and may be a non-tender candidate.

Frelick is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Frelick started against a southpaw Saturday but will head to the bench Sunday versus Colorado lefty Sal Frelick. Jackson Chourio will shift to right field while Isaac Collins makes his MLB debut in left.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Bauers is sitting for the second straight day as Kyle Freeland is the second consecutive lefty to start for Colorado. Gary Sanchez will step in behind the plate while William Contreras rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Turang doesn't operate in a strict platoon at second base, but he'll sit Sunday against Colorado southpaw Kyle Freeland. Andruw Monasterio will start at the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale.

Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Busch went 1-for-17 while starting the past seven games but will sit Sunday against New York righty Gerrit Cole. Cody Bellinger will shift to first base while Mike Tauchman receives a start in right field.

Hoerner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Hoerner has gone 3-for-14 in his past four games and will receive a well-deserved day off Sunday after a run of 75 consecutive starts. Miles Mastrobuoni will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.

Megill is available out of the bullpen Sunday against the Reds, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander allowed four runs with a 9:2 K:BB over 9.1 frames in the past two turns through the rotation for the Mets, but he'll shift to the bullpen with Paul Blackburn (hand) returning from the injured list Monday in Toronto. Megill could be called upon for a spot start or two down the stretch, but for now he'll operate in a long-relief role.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Triolo will take a seat after making 12 consecutive starts, and he had a .282/.391/.436 slash line with a homer, two steals, eight RBI and six runs during that span. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will shift to the hot corner while Alika Williams receives a start at shortstop.

Cruz is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Cruz will head to the bench after a run of 22 straight starts, during which he batted .313 with nine extra-base hits, nine steals, 10 RBI and nine runs. Michael Taylor is receiving a look in center field for the series finale versus Washington.

The Reds placed Moll on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left shoulder impingement.

The left-hander presumably suffered the injury during Saturday's appearance against the Mets, during which he surrendered three runs on a hit, a walk and a hit-by-pitch without recording an out. Moll will be eligible to return during the final week of the season, but he may have already thrown his final pitch of 2024.
