Heliot Ramos RF | NYY
Giants' Heliot Ramos: Exiting starting nine Sunday
Ramos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Ramos has gone 0-for-11 with four strikeouts over the Giants' previous three contests, so he'll get a breather while Jerar Encarnacion enters the lineup as the team's designated hitter. The 25-year-old outfielder had started in each of the Giants' last 23 games, slashing .244/.303/.478 during that stretch.

Brett Wisely 2B | ATL
Giants' Brett Wisely: Getting second straight start
Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Wisely has now picked up starts in consecutive contests to close out the weekend, and he should be in store for a strong-side platoon role at the keystone after the Giants recently moved Thairo Estrada off the 40-man roster. Over 218 plate appearances with the big club this season, Wisely has supplied a .250/.286/.368 slash line to go with three home runs and two stolen bases.

Patrick Bailey C | CLE
Giants' Patrick Bailey: Getting rest Sunday
Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Bailey will get a breather for the day game after he had started at catcher in each of the Giants' three contests while going 1-for-11 with four strikeouts following his return from the injured list Thursday. Curt Casali will check in for Bailey behind the plate.

Connor Norby 2B | COL
Marlins' Connor Norby: Getting afternoon off
Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Norby will take a seat for the first time since he was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 19 in advance of his Marlins debut. Jose Devers will enter the lineup and pick up a start at second base in place of the resting Norby, who has produced a 1.002 OPS with two stolen bases and three home runs through his first 12 games with Miami.

Jake Burger 1B | TEX
Marlins' Jake Burger: Resting Sunday
Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
After seeing his six-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4, two-strikeout showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Burger will get a breather for the series finale. He'll give way at first base to David Hensley in what amounts to Burger's first day off since July 25.

Ali Sanchez C | NYY
Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Taking seat Sunday
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Sanchez had started in each of the Marlins' previous three matchups with right-handed starters, but he'll cede catching duties to Nick Fortes in the series finale while the Giants send right-hander Logan Webb to the hill. Sanchez and Fortes will likely continue to operate in a timeshare down the stretch, and the Marlins' catching picture could become even murkier with Miami using one of its two September call-ups on a third backstop in Jhonny Pereda.

Jhonny Pereda C | SEA
Marlins' Jhonny Pereda: Receives promotion
The Marlins recalled Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
Pereda will provide the Marlins with a third catcher behind Nick Fortes and Ali Sanchez for the final month of the season. Over his 199 plate appearances with Jacksonville in 2024, Pereda has slashed .302/.407/.444 with five home runs.

Darren McCaughan RP | CIN
Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Called up, will start Sunday
The Marlins recalled McCaughan from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. He'll start in the Marlins' series finale in San Francisco against the Giants.
McCaughan will take over the rotation spot that previously belonged to Roddery Munoz, who was optioned to Jacksonville on Wednesday. The 28-year-old right-hander has previously made five appearances at the big-league level this season between Cleveland and Miami, logging an 8.62 ERA and 2.11 WHIP over 15.2 innings. He performed much better over his 11 starts with Jacksonville (4.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 59:18 K:BB in 53.2 innings), but McCaughan doesn't make for a reliable streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Cal Quantrill RP | TEX
Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Lands on IL
The Rockies placed Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Quantrill had been in line to start Sunday's series finale with the Orioles at Coors Field, but he was scratched a day in advance after experiencing right triceps inflammation. According to Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com, Quantrill's injury isn't considered significant, with manager Bud Black noting that the right-hander is expected to return from the IL before the end of September. Ty Blach was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Quantrill's spot on the active roster and in the rotation.

Ty Blach RP | CHC
Rockies' Ty Blach: Called up ahead of start
The Rockies selected Blach's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Orioles.
Colorado placed right-hander Cal Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list to open up room on the 28-man active roster and in the rotation for Blach. The soft-tossing southpaw has previously made 18 appearances (10 starts) for Colorado this season, pitching to a 3-6 record with a 6.36 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB in 63.2 innings.
