Madrigal is absent from the lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks with a hamstring injury, Maddie Lee of The Sun Times reports.

Madrigal exited Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to Arizona early with an apparent hamstring injury. Manager David Ross said Sunday that "it was just some cramping and tightness" and that Madrigal is not expected to require a stint on the injured list. The 26-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being with the Cubs having a day off Monday.

Crow-Armstrong is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest with Arizona.

Crow-Armstrong will remain on the bench for a third consecutive game Sunday as Mike Tauchman draws another start in center field. The 21-year-old may be on the short side of a platoon in the outfield for the time being.

Gomes is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

Gomes will get a breather after he caught all 13 innings in the Cubs' 7-6 loss to Arizona on Saturday. Miguel Amaya will take over behind the plate and bat ninth in the series finale.

Madrigal is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

Madrigal will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with a run scored over the first two games of the series. Patrick Wisdom will take over at third base and bat eighth in the series finale.

Thomas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cubs.

Thomas has a .539 OPS through 15 games in September and will sit Sunday after making three straight starts. Corbin Carroll will move to center field while Jake McCarthy starts in right.

Bednar picked up the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Yankees. He allowed one hit while striking out three in a scoreless inning.

Bednar's now gone nine consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, striking out 10 in that span, while converting his last 14 save opportunities. The 28-year-old right-hander is now 36-for-39 in save chances this season with a pristine 1.86 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 72:4 K:BB across 63 innings.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Perdomo is in the midst of a 0-for-22 slump and will take a seat after starting the previous three games. Rookie Jordan Lawlar will handle shortstop and bat ninth.

Jarvis was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Jarvis has a 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 7:8 K:BB across 16 innings this season, so it's not a major surprise he'll receive another look in the big-league bullpen. Scott McGough (shoulder) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

McGough was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

McGough presumably picked up the injury during his last appearance Thursday, when the Mets tagged him for three earned runs over two-thirds of an inning. The veteran right-hander will be eligible to be activated during the final series of the regular season, but he's not guaranteed to be healthy by that point given that he's dealing with an arm issue.

Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Jameson (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

The right-hander elected for the rest-and-rehab route after being diagnosed with a UCL strain in late July, but he'll end up needing Tommy John surgery. Jameson had a 3.32 ERA over 40.2 innings this season but is now likely to be sidelined until 2025 given the typical 12-to-18 month recovery timeline for the procedure.
