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

The Yankees will give the 38-year-old a breather for the matinee contest after he started 10 straight games while going 7-for-40 (.175) with one home run, two RBI and three runs. Ben Rice will draw the start at first base Sunday, while Amed Rosario slots into the designated hitter spot.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Wade started in left field for the first two games of the series, going 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored. He'll exit the lineup Sunday while Yordan Alvarez receives a turn in left field. Wade looks to have a hold on at least a semi-regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching.

Trammell will start in center field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Trammell will stick in the lineup for a seventh straight game after getting on base at a .423 clip over the prior six contests while adding two home runs, five runs and four RBI. He appears to have usurped Lucas Spence as the Astros' preferred option in center field for the time being.

Spence is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

On the bench for the fourth time in the past five games, Spence appears to have faded into a reserve role while Taylor Trammell has re-emerged as the preferred option in center field. Since receiving his first big-league call-up July 17, Spence has hit just .162 while striking out at a 36.6 percent clip. He could be headed back to Triple-A Sugar Land in the near future.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Diaz will get a chance to catch his breath after starting the last three games behind the dish. Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties for Houston in the series finale.

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

Lopez will retreat to the bench after starting 10 straight games at second base or shortstop. Cam Cauley will get the nod Sunday at the keystone, which is where Lopez is expected to see the bulk of his playing time after Corey Seager returned from the injured list Friday.

The Rays acquired Peralta from the Mets on Sunday in exchange for outfielder Aidan Smith, second baseman Emilien Pitre and right-hander Gary Gill Hill, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Peralta was pulled from his scheduled start Friday versus Miami in anticipation of Monday's trade deadline, and the Mets found a willing suitor for his services in the Rays, who pivoted to the right-hander after falling short in their pursuit of Tarik Skubal. After being acquired from the Brewers during the offseason, Peralta had a rough time in Queens with a 4.99 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 113:48 K:BB in 113.2 innings over 22 starts. Tampa Bay represents a good landing spot for the 30-year-old, given the Rays' track record of getting the best out of their pitchers.

Marte will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Marte will pick up a sixth consecutive start after going 4-for-19 with a double, an RBI, a run and an 0:7 BB:K over the Reds' previous five contests. He looks like he'll occupy a regular spot in the lineup while Spencer Steer (wrist) is on the injured list.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Unless the Marlins lose a corner outfielder to an injury or trade, Hernandez could have to settle for a part-time role against right-handed pitching. Hernandez had started every game dating back to July 8 while producing a .732 OPS during that span, but he looks to be the odd man out of the everyday lineup following Owen Caissie's return from the injured list Saturday.

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

Baty will hit the bench Sunday after he made starts at three different infield positions in the previous three games. The 26-year-old doesn't have a clear path to steady playing time at any one position, but his ability to play all over the infield as well as both corner outfield spots should allow him to continue seeing semi-regular at-bats versus right-handed pitching.
