Rosario is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Rosario is mired in a 1-for-22 slump and will hit the bench Sunday with lefty Alex Wood pitching for Oakland. Jared Young will start in center field and bat leadoff Sunday.

Walker is not included in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Diamondbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Walker has started 13 of the Cardinals 15 games this year but will get a rest day Sunday. The outfielder is sporting a .182 average through 49 plate appearances, which is a lot lower than his .276 mark last season, but he still has plenty of time to get his bat going this year.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's, Andrew Golden of The Washington Postreports.

Lefty Alex Wood is taking the mound for Oakland, so Garcia will head to the bench, and he's now started just twice in seven games against southpaws. Ildemaro Vargas will handle the keystone Sunday for Washington.

Crow-Armstrong (elbow) returned to Triple-A Iowa's lineup Wednesday and has appeared in each of the club's last four games, going 2-for-19 with one stolen base and one run.

After he was removed from a game last Sunday against Toledo with right elbow soreness, Crow-Armstrong sat out Tuesday but was back in action a day later. Though he's ostensibly healthy, the elbow injury may be affecting his timing at the dish, as he's struck out 11 times in 19 at-bats since making his return.

Ruiz (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz hasn't seen the field since April 8 while battling an illness, and his absence will continue Sunday. Riley Adams will receive another start behind the plate for Washington.

Burger was removed from Sunday's game against Atlanta due to left oblique discomfort, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Burger grounded out in his lone plate appearance before exiting Sunday's contest with the injury. The severity of the issue is unclear, and the 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Martinez isn't listed among the Reds' three probable pitchers for the team's series in Seattle that begins Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

While manager David Bell hasn't officially said that Martinez has been removed from the Cincinnati rotation, the right-hander's continued absence from the Reds' pitching schedule to begin the week suggests that he's been moved to the bullpen. With Nick Lodolo (calf) returning from the 15-day injured list Saturday with a 10-strikeout gem, Goldsmith relays that the Reds are expected to have Lodolo make his next turn in the team's series opener with the Angels on Friday. Rather than expanding the rotation to six men to keep Martinez on hand as a starter, the Reds seem inclined to let him operate as a multi-inning reliever, a role in which he thrived with the Padres for much of the past season. Martinez had been erratic in his first two starts of the season with Cincinnati, giving up eight earned runs on 14 hits and two walks while striking out nine over 10 innings.

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

The Diamondbacks haven't indicated that Suarez is nursing any sort of injury in the aftermath of Saturday's 4-2 win, so the veteran third baseman is likely just getting a maintenance day. Jace Peterson will step in at the hot corner while Suarez rests for the first time in 2024 after starting at third base in each of Arizona's first 15 games while hitting .259 with two home runs and 12 RBI.

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

Moreno looks to be getting a routine day off after he caught the first two games of the series while recording a pair of base hits across seven at-bats. Tucker Barnhart will take on the catching duties in the series finale.

Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Rays.

Soler went seven games without a long ball, and he hit just .125 (3-for-24) with five walks in that span. The designated hitter's power has been there for the Giants so far with three homers through 15 games, but he's batting just .208 with four RBI, nine runs scored, three doubles and a 10:13 BB:K over 64 plate appearances.
