Bart was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds due to left hamstring discomfort.

Bart collected an RBI with a groundout during the opening frame Sunday, but he tweaked his hamstring while attempting to beat the throw. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

The Mets placed Blackburn on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right hand contusion.

The right-hander suffered the injury during his start against the Padres on Friday, but he appeared set to avoid a stint on the injured list after a CT scan came back negative Saturday. However, Blackburn experienced some stiffness and soreness when he attempted to throw Sunday, per Tim Healey of Newsday, and the Mets are hoping he can return after a minimum-length stay on the IL. Tylor Megill is the likely candidate to get called up from Triple-A Syracuse to fill Blackburn's spot in the starting rotation.

The Marlins transferred Myers (ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Myers was ruled out 6-to-8 weeks after he suffered a fractured ankle in mid-July, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. The 28-year-old will be eligible to be activated in mid-September, though any setbacks in his rehab program could prevent him from returning before the end of the season.

The Marlins selected Bermudez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

The 29-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Giants late in 2022 and is now on the cusp of making his MLB debut. Bermudez pitched well in 14 starts for Double-A Pensacola this season with a 2.53 ERA over 74.2 innings, but he's struggled to a 6.46 ERA in 23.2 frames for Jacksonville.

The Marlins optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Ramirez was called up from Jacksonville last week and will return to the affiliate after he surrendered five runs over 1.1 innings during Saturday's contest. Jonathan Bermudez was recalled in a corresponding move to fill out Miami's bullpen.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

The veteran backstop started the previous five contests and will sit for Sunday's afternoon tilt after a night game Saturday. Realmuto has a .348/.400/.652 slash line with five doubles, three homers, 14 RBI and eight runs in his past 46 at-bats. Garrett Stubbs will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Kolby Allard.

Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Hays started the past two games after being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, and he'll receive Sunday off after going 2-for-8 with a double and an RBI. Brandon Marsh will shift to left field while Johan Rojas receives the nod in center.

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.
