Mariners' Mitch Garver: Stuck in timeshare
Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Though he appeared likely to take over as the Mariners' clear No. 1 catcher when Cal Raleigh (oblique) was placed on the injured list earlier this month, Garver has instead been used in a timeshare behind the plate with Jhonny Pereda. Since Raleigh last played May 13, Garver has made seven starts to Pereda's nine.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Resting Sunday
Troy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Troy will hit the bench for the series finale while the Diamondbacks go with Tim Tawa in left field. The 24-year-old Troy had started in each of Arizona's last six games, going 5-for-19 with two doubles and a 3:4 BB:K while scoring five runs.

Adrian Del Castillo DH | ARI
Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Taking seat Sunday
Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
The Diamondbacks are giving Ketel Marte a day off from playing second base but keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter, so Del Castillo will be the odd man out of the starting nine as a result. Del Castillo had served as Arizona's designated hitter for the past five games, going 4-for-14 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and an additional run during that stretch. The 26-year-old could soon be at risk of losing hold of his strong-side platoon role, however; Pavin Smith (elbow) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could take over as the Diamondbacks' primary DH if he's activated from the 60-day injured list during the upcoming week.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Taking seat Sunday
Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Moreno will be rested for the series finale after he started at catcher Friday and Saturday, going 3-for-9 with a double, two RBI and a run between those contests. Aramis Garcia will step in for Moreno behind the dish Sunday.

Henry Bolte CF | ATH
Athletics' Henry Bolte: Relegated to bench Sunday
Bolte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in addition to committing an error in Saturday's 6-4 win, Bolte will head to the bench in the series finale. Lawrence Butler will replace Bolte as the Athletics' starting center fielder Sunday.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Idle against southpaw
McMahon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
McMahon is in the midst of one of his best stretches of the season, having gone 9-for-29 (.310 average) with three home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and five runs over his last eight games. The Yankees will hold him out of the starting nine Sunday with southpaw Jacob Lopez on the hill, but the left-handed-hitting McMahon should continue to receive regular at-bats against right-handed pitching while he's swinging a hot bat.

Will Smith C | LAD
Dodgers' Will Smith: Not in Sunday's lineup
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Smith started the previous five games and will get a breather Sunday after going 5-for-14 with a double and two homers during that stretch. Dalton Rushing will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the series finale versus Philadelphia.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Taking seat against lefty
Chisholm is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The Yankees will keep the left-handed-hitting Chisholm on the bench for a second straight matchup versus a southpaw, as he'll give way to Max Schuemann at second base while the Athletics send lefty Jacob Lopez to the hill. Chisholm is slashing just .234/.286/.344 (77 wRC+) over 70 plate appearances against lefties this season.

Shea Langeliers C | ATH
Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Receiving break Sunday
Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Langeliers started the previous 12 games but will receive a day off after posting a .130/.259/.304 slash line during that span. Jonah Heim is starting behind the plate and batting fifth for the series finale versus New York.

TJ Rumfield 1B | COL
Rockies' TJ Rumfield: Managing shoulder inflammation
Rumfield was removed from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants due to right shoulder inflammation, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
The 26-year-old was scratched just before the start of Sunday's game, so it's unclear when exactly he picked up the injury. Rumfield should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the Angels.
