Peralta was removed from Sunday's game against the Nationals after being hit by a pitch around the left elbow, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Timesreports.

Peralta appeared to tweak something with his right hand on a swing during the second inning but stayed in the game, only to exit shortly thereafter as the plate appearance finished with a hit-by-pitch. The 36-year-old picked up an RBI since the bases were loaded, but that could be a small consolation depending on the severity of the injury.

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

Moreno started the first three games of the series but will take a seat for Sunday's finale after going 2-for-8 with a double, three walks, a stolen base, an RBI and a run. Seby Zavala will step behind the plate to catch for opener Joe Mantiply.

Vogelbach is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Vogelbach will typically find himself on the bench against left-handed pitchers, but he's sitting Sunday despite righty Pablo Lopez being on the mound for Minnesota. Mark Vientos will bat seventh as the Mets' designated hitter.

Tauchman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Tauchman started the past three games but will head to the bench Sunday after going 0-for-9 with three walks and a run during that stretch. Cody Bellinger will move out to center field while Jeimer Candelario handles first base and Christopher Morel leads off at designated hitter.

Tatis is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Tatis started the past 49 games but will receive Sunday off while in the midst of a 2-for-24 slump. Jurickson Profar will start in right field and bat second Sunday.

Machado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Machado started all 87 games since he returned from a fracture in his left hand in early June, though he's exclusively served as San Diego's designated hitter in September while managing tennis elbow. Matt Carpenter will take over the DH spot Sunday while Eguy Rosario starts at the hot corner.

The Reds returned Lopez to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

The 27-year-old was temporarily added to Cincinnati's 26-man and 40-man rosters Friday when Stuart Fairchild (illness) landed on the COVID-19 injured list, and Lopez will return to the minors after going 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI and a run in his lone appearance. Since Lopez is not on the 40-man roster, he's not a likely bet to receive another chance in the big leagues this season.

Lawlar (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

The rookie shortstop exited Saturday's contest after being hit by a pitch on his right hand, though according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, manager Torey Luvollo said Lawlar's hand is fine and he's simply receiving a day off. Geraldo Perdomo will shift to shortstop while Emmanuel Rivera starts at the hot corner.

Marte (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs but could be available off the bench if needed, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte was removed from Saturday's contest with left knee soreness after being hit by a pitch, and he's considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative. The 29-year-old will be held out of the starting nine for at least one game, with Jace Peterson handling the keystone Sunday.

Mantiply will start Sunday's game against the Cubs, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The 32-year-old will make his third start of the season as the Diamondbacks decided to go with an opener ahead of expected primary pitcher Brandon Pfaadt, who was originally scheduled to start the contest. Mantiply has covered as much as three frames in an appearance this season, but he's likely to pitch only an inning or two Sunday.
