Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Goldschmidt has a .631 OPS over 70 at-bats in August and will take a seat Sunday for the second time in St. Louis' past four games. Alec Burleson will shift to first base while Matt Carpenter receives a turn at designated hitter.

Harris was removed from Sunday's game against the Nationals as a precaution due to left hand soreness.

The 23-year-old initially stayed in the game after being hit by a pitch during the opening inning Sunday, but he was replaced in center field for the top of the fifth inning. The fact Atlanta labeled Harris' removal as precautionary is encouraging, though it's possible he still undergoes X-rays. He should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Paredes was withheld from the lineup last Sunday versus the Blue Jays due to shoulder discomfort, but he returned to start each of Chicago's' last five games while going 3-for-22 at the plate. The Cubs haven't suggested that he's still being nagged by the shoulder, so Paredes' absence for the series finale in Miami is likely just a maintenance day.

Edwards (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

The 25-year-old will sit for the second straight game after he exited Friday's contest due to lower-back discomfort. Edwards had medical imaging on his back come back negative Saturday, and he took a step forward prior to Sunday's game by taking some swings and doing some throwing, per Noah Berger of ElExtraBase.com. He can be considered day-to-day heading into the Marlins' upcoming four-game series in Colorado that begins Monday.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Amaya will get a breather for the matinee contest after starting each of the past three games behind the plate. Christian Bethancourt will handle the catching duties for the Cubs in the series finale in Miami.

McKinney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Though McKinney had picked up starts in each of the Pirates' last three matchups with right-handers, he'll give up his spot in the lineup to Yasmani Grandal while righty Nick Martinez takes the hill for the Reds. Since his call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, McKinney has gone 3-for-13 with an RBI, a run and six strikeouts.

Bae is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Though a right-hander (Nick Martinez) is on the hill for the Reds, the lefty-hitting Bae will head to the bench for the series finale. Michael Taylor will step in as the Pirates' center fielder in place of Bae, who still looks to be the Pirates' preferred option at the position after starting in each of the team's previous five matchups with righties.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

After starting in each of the last eight games while going 4-for-23 with two home runs and six walks against five strikeouts, Triolo will hit the bench for the series finale. Alika Williams will replace Triolo in the starting nine, manning second base while batting eighth.

The Pirates selected Feigl's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

After more than a decade or toiling in the minors and the independent ranks upon going undrafted out of Mount St. Mary's University in 2012, Feigl has finally reached the big leagues at 33 years old. The lefty reliever will join the Pittsburgh bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Hunter Stratton, who was placed on the 60-day injured list after suffering a rupture of his left patella tendon in Saturday's loss to the Reds. Feigl compiled a 3.83 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 62:13 K:BB over 51.2 innings across his 33 appearances with Indianapolis this season.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's extra-inning loss to Tampa Bay.

Hernandez brought the Dodgers, who had fallen behind early, to within a run with his two-run shot to center field in the fourth inning. The long ball snapped an 11-game homerless stretch for the outfielder, who batted just .186 and had only one extra-base hit during the cold spell. Hernandez is up to 27 home runs on the season as he pursues the second 30-homer campaign of his career, and his first since 2021.
