Nimmo was removed from Sunday's game against the Marlins due to shoulder discomfort, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Nimmo had an eventful seventh inning, as he fouled a pitch off himself in the top of the frame and had a diving catch to finish the bottom of the inning. According to Tim Healey of Newsday, the outfielder is scheduled to undergo an MRI on the shoulder Monday. Before exiting Sunday's contest, Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer, his 18th long ball of the season.

Soler (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

The 32-year-old indicated Friday that he didn't expect to play this weekend in Anaheim, so it's not a surprise he's out of the starting nine Sunday for the fourth straight game. Ramon Laureano will again man right field in Soler's place while Michael Harris bats leadoff.

Kuehler is on the full-season injured list at High-A Rome after undergoing Tommy John surgery in July, Scott Kennedy of SI.com reports.

Kuehler logged a 2.52 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 44:20 K:BB in 50 innings across 11 starts for Single-A Augusta and then gave up eight runs in three innings in his lone start for Rome on June 30. It's possible that the 22-year-old righty will eventually shift to the bullpen, where his fastball/slider combo could play up and his shaky command would be less of an issue. He may not recover in time to pitch for an affiliate in 2025.

Muncy (oblique) is traveling to Los Angeles and could be activated for Monday's series opener versus the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers were planning to reinstate the 33-year-old for Tuesday's contest, but Freddie Freeman's finger injury could necessitate a trip to the injured list and move that timeline up a day. Muncy has gone 6-for-21 with a double and a homer during his six-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he's ready to rejoin the active roster after spending three months on the injured list due to a strained oblique.

Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Tovar started the previous 24 games but will sit Sunday while in the midst of a 3-for-19 slump. Aaron Schunk will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale versus San Diego.

Paredes was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays due to right shoulder discomfort, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

It's unclear when Paredes suffered the injury, but he struggled over the past few games and went 0-for-11 with two strikeouts. The 25-year-old will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus Detroit. Patrick Wisdom has replaced Paredes at third base for Sunday's contest.

The Rockies optioned Goodman to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The move clears a spot on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Nolan Jones (back), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Goodman has been with the big club since late April, but he's seen his playing time decrease since the All-Star break. Over 169 total plate appearances in the big leagues on the season, Goodman has slashed .177/.219/.373 with eight home runs, 24 RBI and a 29 percent strikeout rate.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Smith started the previous three contests but will sit for Sunday's day game. Austin Barnes will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Clayton Kershaw.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.

Arenado's homer was his second over the last four games. The third baseman has been steady at the plate in August, going 17-for-56 (.304) with 10 RBI over 15 games this month. He's up to a .268/.323/.395 slash line, 13 homers, 55 RBI, 51 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases over 116 contests for the season.

Winn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.

Winn has homered in back-to-back games against the Dodgers, and he's up to four long balls over 14 contests in August. The shortstop is batting .259 (15-for-58) over that span. For the season, he's at a .277/.327/.423 slash line with 11 homers, 43 RBI, 59 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 114 games.
