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

Realmuto started the first two games of the series and will receive Sunday off after going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts and a run scored. Garrett Stubbs will step in behind the plate and bat eighth.

Bouchard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Though he's on the bench for the second time in the series, Bouchard has been deployed as the Rockies' primary option in left field following Jordan Beck's (hand) placement on the injured list last Sunday. After getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque the same day Beck was deactivated, Bouchard started in five of the ensuing six games, going 2-for-14 with a double, three walks, four runs, three RBI and two stolen bases. Hunter Goodman will spell Bouchard in left field Sunday.

Goodman will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Goodman concluded last weekend's series versus the Phillies by making his sixth start in eight games, but his playing time has fallen off over the past week. Before drawing back into the lineup Sunday, Goodman started just once in the Rockies' preceding five games. With Kris Bryant settling in primarily at designated hitter and Sean Bouchard and Charlie Blackmon typically serving as Colorado's starters in the corner outfield, Goodman has found himself as the odd man out of late.

Donovan (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The 27-year-old will be withheld from the starting nine for the third consecutive game due to neck stiffness. According to John Denton of MLB.com, Donovan is expected to take swings in the batting cage Sunday and could be back in action Monday against the Astros. Alec Burleson will start in left field for the series finale while Matt Carpenter receives a turn at designated hitter.

Trejo will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Trejo will crack the starting nine for the first time since May 24 while everyday second baseman Brendan Rodgers gets a day out of the field and serves as the Rockies' designated hitter. Though he's been on the active roster since Opening Day, Trejo has made just 12 starts in 58 games and has logged only 34 plate appearances.

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

Diaz will receive a breather for the series finale in Los Angeles after he had started at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Rockies' previous six games. Jacob Stallings will handle catching duties Sunday in Diaz's stead.

Brooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Though he'll take a seat while southpaw Nestor Cortes takes the hill for the Yankees, the lefty-hitting Brooks appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon at first base with the right-handed-hitting Wilmer Flores. Brooks has started in the Giants' last three matchups against righties and has gone 1-for-6 with two walks and two runs in four games overall since he was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday following LaMonte Wade's (hamstring) placement on the injured list.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Bailey will get a breather for the series finale after he started at catcher Friday and Saturday while going 2-for-7 with a walk. Curt Casali will step in behind the dish Sunday.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Yastrzemski has a .569 OPS in 34 at-bats over his past 10 games and will sit Sunday as lefty Nestor Cortes takes the ball for the Yankees. Luis Matos will shift to right field while Tyler Fitzgerald receives a start in center.

Lux is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rockies.

Lux has gone 3-for-17 over his past six contests and will head to the bench Sunday as southpaw Austin Gomber takes the mound for Colorado. Miguel Rojas will step in at the keystone and bat sixth in the series finale.
