Reynolds went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.

Reynolds extended Pittsburgh's lead to 4-0 in the third inning with a 399-foot shot off Cade Cavalli, his 13th homer this season and his seventh in his last 25 games -- he's gone 33-for-101 (.327) in that span. It's been a strong season at the plate overall for Reynolds, who's now slashing .282/.393/.474 with 56 RBI, 62 runs scored and six stolen bases across 397 plate appearances.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Muncy is working against left-handed pitching more often this season and is excelling to the tune of a .939 OPS in 72 plate appearances, but he finds himself on the bench Sunday while southpaw JP Sears takes the mound for San Diego. Miguel Rojas is starting at the hot corner for the Dodgers in the series finale.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's 11-5 loss to the Pirates.

Garcia got Washington on the board in the third inning with his two-run blast off Bubba Chandler, his 19th homer this season (a new career high) and his 10th in his last 15 games. In his last 20 contests, Garcia has gone 24-for-68 (.353) with a staggering 1.271 OPS, boosting his slash line to .282/.313/.561 with 64 RBI, 42 runs scored and three steals across 294 plate appearances this season.

Keys will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Keys will collect his fifth start in a row after going 3-for-15 with a home run, a double and three RBI over the previous four contests. His run as an everyday player could end soon, however. The Blue Jays could get George Springer (personal) back from the family medical emergency list as soon as Monday, and Keys is likely to fade into a bench role or return to Triple-A Buffalo at that point.

Rushing is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against San Diego.

Rushing started the previous three contests and will rest Sunday after going 5-for-9 with a double, a homer, four RBI and four runs during that span. Eliezer Alfonzo is making his MLB debut behind the plate in the series finale for the Dodgers.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Gimenez will be riding pine for the series finale in Seattle after he had started in Toronto's last four games. Ernie Clement will step in for Gimenez at shortstop and will bat sixth.

Chandler did not factor into the decision in an 11-5 win over the Nationals on Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks without recording a strikeout over four innings.

Chandler needed 86 pitches, just 47 of which were strikes, to get through four innings. The 23-year-old right-hander has now given up nine runs over 10.1 innings in his last two starts after posting a 2.82 ERA across 22.1 frames in his prior four outings. Overall, Chandler is 3-8 with a 4.82 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 79:52 K:BB across 89.2 innings this season. He'll look to get back on track his next time out, currently scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Tucker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

After missing a few games in late June due to back spasms, Tucker started the last nine contests and posted a .940 OPS with a double, a homer, five RBI and seven runs during that span. Alex Call is picking up a start in right field Sunday for the Dodgers.

Kuroda-Grauer will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Kuroda-Grauer will stick in the starting nine for a sixth straight game since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, this time covering shortstop after making his previous three starts at third base and the two before that at the keystone. With Zack Gelof (hand) coming back from the injured list Saturday and potentially settling in as the Athletics' primary option at the hot corner, shortstop could represent Kuroda-Grauer's clearest path to playing time until Jacob Wilson (thumb) is ready to be activated. The Athletics will send Alika Williams to the bench to open up shortstop for Kuroda-Grauer, who has gotten off to a hot start to his big-league career by going 8-for-18 with two doubles, three runs and one RBI.

Edman was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres due to a right foot/ankle injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Edman was penciled in to start at third base but will instead head to the bench. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic that Edman was removed from the lineup as a precaution after being hit in the foot by a Mason Miller pitch in the eighth inning of Saturday's 3-0 win. Alex Freeland will replace Edman in the lineup and start at second base, pushing Miguel Rojas over to the hot corner.
