  • Landon Knack RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Landon Knack: Promoted Sunday

    The Dodgers recalled Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    The 27-year-old is taking the 26-man active roster spot of River Ryan, who landed on the injured list Sunday due to an elbow injury. Knack has started in eight of his nine big-league appearances this season and has a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB across 44 innings. He's likely to fill a long-relief role while he's up with the big club.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Joc Pederson: Sitting against lefty

    Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Pederson is on fire to begin August with four homers and a 1.276 OPS though nine games, but he'll hit the bench Sunday with lefty Cristopher Sanchez pitching for Philadelphia. Randal Grichuk is batting fifth as the designated hitter in the series finale.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: On bench Sunday

    Carroll is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Carroll has an .896 OPS through nine games in August but will sit Sunday against Philadelphia lefty Cristopher Sanchez. Jake McCarthy will receive a start in right field in the series finale versus the Phillies.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Out Sunday, as expected

    Marte (ankle) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    The second baseman exited Saturday's contest due to a left ankle contusion and said after the game he'll likely need a day off to recover, so it's no surprise he's on the bench Sunday. Marte also indicated he expects to rejoin the starting nine Monday versus the Rockies, so this should be a brief absence for the 30-year-old. Kevin Newman is manning the keystone Sunday for Arizona.

  • River Ryan SP | DET

    Dodgers' River Ryan: Done for season

    The Dodgers placed Ryan on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right forearm tightness, and manager Dave Roberts said the rookie will miss the rest of the 2024 season, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Ryan is undergoing an MRI on Sunday to determine the full extent of the forearm injury that he suffered in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Pirates, but the Dodgers have apparently seen enough to rule him out for the rest of the campaign. It's a tough break for the 25-year-old, who was called up for his big-league debut in late July and posted a 1.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB over 20.1 innings through his first four starts.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Resumes rehab stint

    Edman (wrist) went 1-for-3 and scored a run while playing six innings in center field in a rehab game for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Edman's previous rehab appearance had come July 28, when he was still in the Cardinals organization. The utility man was traded to the Dodgers on July 29, and the team waited until Edman was ready to play the field before having him return to game action, as he had previously been limited to designated-hitter duties over his eight rehab games with the Cardinals.

  • Kris Bryant RF | COL

    Rockies' Kris Bryant: Getting day off

    Bryant is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Bryant has now taken Sunday off in each of the three weekends since he came off the 10-day injured list July 23. With Bryant on the bench for the series finale with Atlanta, Charlie Blackmon will start in right field and Brendan Rodgers will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter.

  • Elias Diaz C | TEX

    Rockies' Elias Diaz: Resting up Sunday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    He'll get a breather for the matinee contest after he started behind the dish in both of the first two games of the series. Jacob Stallings will draw the start at catcher Sunday.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Knocks double in first rehab game

    Muncy (oblique) went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and an RBI in a rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Muncy performed well in his first game action since May 15. The third baseman is working his way back from an oblique injury and subsequent rehab that progressed slowly and at times was described as "stagnant." He'll need at least a handful more games in the minors to knock off some rust before the Dodgers are ready to bring him back from the 60-day injured list.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | CHW

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Getting afternoon off

    Doyle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Doyle had started in every game dating back to July 31, so he's most likely getting some routine maintenance as the Rockies conclude their series with Atlanta. Jake Cave will fill in for Doyle in center field.
