Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

With southpaw Ryan Weathers on the hill for Miami, the lefty-hitting Garcia will hit the bench for the first time since April 14 while Ildemaro Vargas steps in at second base. While manning the keystone for each of the last 11 games, Garcia went 11-for-42 (.262 average) with one home run, four stolen bases, five RBI and one run.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

After his return from the 10-day injured list Thursday following a bout with the flu, Ruiz started behind the dish each of the past three games, going 1-for-11 with a solo home run and a walk. He'll get a breather for the day game in Miami, giving way to Riley Adams.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Yankees.

Hoskins started the previous 15 games but will receive Sunday off after he posted a .799 OPS during that span. Gary Sanchez will bat fifth as Milwaukee's designated hitter in the series finale against New York.

The Marlins selected Ramirez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 29-year-old will receive his first taste of the big leagues, taking the roster spot of Kent Emanuel, who was designated for assignment. Ramirez has a 3.86 ERA and 16:4 K:BB over 11.2 innings at Jacksonville this season and should fill a low-leverage bullpen role for Miami.

The Marlins designated Emanuel for assignment on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old had his contract selected by Miami on Saturday but spent just one day with the big club. Emanuel has surrendered seven earned runs over six frames in his two major-league appearances this season.

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

After starting behind the plate Friday and Saturday, Smith will get a breather as the Dodgers wrap up their series in Canada with a day game. Austin Barnes will handle catching duties for the Dodgers on Sunday.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

D'Arnaud will get a breather as Atlanta wraps up its series with a day game. Chadwick Tromp will get a turn behind the plate in place of d'Arnaud, who went 1-for-6 with a double and an RBI between the first two contests of the series.

Martinez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Martinez went 3-for-8 with a double, an RBI and five strikeouts in his first two games with the Mets but will take a seat for Sunday's series finale versus St. Louis. DJ Stewart will step in as the designated hitter and bat cleanup.

Burleson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The Cardinals are giving Willson Contreras a day off behind the plate and having him serve as the designated hitter, so Burleson will bow out of the lineup as Ivan Herrera enters the starting nine at catcher. Burleson had served as St. Louis' DH in both of the past two games, going 2-for-5 with a home run, two walks and three RBI.

The Marlins placed Garcia on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

The veteran outfielder presumably suffered the injury Saturday against the Nationals, as he went 1-for-2 with a strikeout before being replaced by a pinch hitter. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Garcia will be sidelined until at least May 8. Outfielder Dane Myers was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.
