Wade (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets

Wade tweaked his hamstring in the ninth inning of San Fransisco's 8-7 win over the Mets on Friday, and he'll be out of the lineup for the second straight game as the two clubs finish up their series. Wilmer Flores will fill in at first base for Wade and will bat fifth.

Chourio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Boston.

Chourio will sit out a second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher as Milwaukee looks to get the sweep against the Red Sox. The rookie has gone 2-for-19 in his last five games and looks to be losing playing time in the outfield to the likes of Sal Frelick, Christian Yelich, Blake Perkins and Jake Bauers.

Kelenic is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

With Pittsburgh bringing a southpaw (Martin Perez) to the hill for the second time in the series, the lefty-hitting Kelenic will remain on the bench. Adam Duvall will fill in as Atlanta's left fielder and will bat sixth.

The Brewers optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

With infielder Oliver Dunn being called up in a corresponding move, Wiemer will head to Nashville less than a week after returning from a stint on the injured list due to a knee injury. Wiemer has gone 4-for-26 at the dish in his 19 games this season with the Brewers.

Barnes will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Barnes will start for the first time in a week while top backstop Will Smith rests for the day game. Over 45 plate appearances this season, Barnes is hitting .189 with zero home runs or stolen bases.

Riley (side) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Riley likely won't return to action until Monday versus Washington, so it's no surprise the third baseman will sit for the 13th straight game due to an intercostal strain. Zack Short will receive another start at the hot corner in the series finale at Pittsburgh.

Milwaukee recalled Dunn from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. He'll start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

After being optioned to Nashville earlier in May, the 26-year-old infielder earned his way back to the majors after slashing .310/.394/.517 across eight games at Triple-A. Though he'll get the starting nod Sunday in his return to the big club, Dunn is still expected to play second fiddle to Joey Ortiz at third base and will likely function as more of a utility man.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against San Francisco.

Marte will get a breather for the day game after he started in both of the first two games of the series while going 2-for-8 with a solo home run and an additional run. DJ Stewart will check in for Marte in right field.

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

After starting at catcher in the last five games, Smith will get a break for the day game as the team finishes out its series in Cincinnati. Austin Barnes will get the start behind home plate and will bat ninth in place of Smith.

Sewald earned the save in a win over the Marlins on Saturday, striking out one over a perfect ninth inning.

Sewald had no issues running through the bottom of Miami's lineup to secure the save, needing just nine pitches to get the job done. The right-handed reliever remains perfect on the season in save opportunities and hasn't allowed a run since his first relief appearance back on May 7 (spanning six appearances). Sewald has also recorded at least one strikeout in three straight outings.
