Conforto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

With southpaw Robbie Ray on the hill for the Giants, the left-handed-hitting Conforto will retreat to the bench for the series finale while Alex Call picks up a start in left field. Though the Dodgers reinstated utility man Tommy Edman from the injured list Wednesday, his return has yet to inhibit Conforto, who had started against right-handed pitchers in both of the first two games of the series in San Francisco.

Pages is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Pages will be rested for the second Sunday in a row after he went 6-for-18 (.333 average) with one double, one RBI and five runs in the intervening five games. With Pages on the bench, Tommy Edman will receive a start in center field.

Iglesias (hand) is starting at third base and batting seventh Sunday against the Rockies, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

The veteran infielder hasn't been in the lineup since being hit by a pitch on the hand Tuesday, though his absence may not have been due to the injury given he still made two appearances off the bench. Iglesias will fill in at the hot corner Sunday for Manny Machado, who is out of the lineup for the first time in 2025.

Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Hays will get a chance to catch his breath Sunday after he had started in each of the Reds' last 12 games, during which he slashed .292/.300/.583 with four home runs, one stolen base, 10 RBI and seven runs. Will Benson will spell Hays in left field and will bat sixth.

Arraez (head) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Arraez was struck in the head by an errant warmup throw Saturday and will be sidelined for at least one game. The 28-year-old will have a team day off Monday to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Mets in Queens.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Stephenson will be given the afternoon off after he started behind the plate in each of the Reds' last four games while going 3-for-15 with two home runs, a walk, five RBI and three runs. Jose Trevino will handle catching duties Sunday.

Steer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

On the bench for the fourth time in five games, Steer appears to have faded into a bench role while the Reds have opened up more opportunities for rookie Sal Stewart, who has produced a .714 OPS since getting called up from Triple-A Louisville on Sept. 1. Over that same two-week stretch, Steer has matched Stewart with a .714 OPS, so Steer could be just one Stewart cold streak away from regaining playing time.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Kelly will get some rest for the series finale after he started at catcher in each of the team's last four contests. Reese McGuire will form a battery with starting pitcher Matthew Boyd on Sunday.

Tawa will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Tawa will pick up his fifth consecutive start and his fourth in a row at first base, where he appears to have emerged as Arizona's preferred option in the wake of season-ending injuries to Pavin Smith (quadriceps) and Tyler Locklear (elbow). Since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Tawa has gone 5-for-13 with two doubles, two walks, five runs and one RBI.

Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

The left-handed-hitting Del Castillo will hit the bench for the series finale against Minnesota righty Bailey Ober and appears to be stuck in a part-time role at designated hitter. Del Castillo has now started in three of the Diamondbacks' last six matchups versus righties, and his playing-time outlook is unlikely to improve until he shows an ability to make more contact. He's striking out at 52.2 percent clip through seven games in September.
