O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

O'Neill will sit for the second time this weekend as the Orioles continue to manage his workload following his return from the 10-day injured list Sept. 12. Since being activated, O'Neill has gone 2-for-19 with five walks, two stolen bases, one RBI and one run in six games.

Baez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Baez will be making his third consecutive start after going 1-for-6 at the dish over the first two contests of the series. With Colt Keith (rib) recently landing on the injured list, Zach McKinstry will likely platoon at third base with Andy Ibanez for the remainder of the regular season, leaving Baez to handle shortstop.

Manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that the best case scenario for Megill (elbow) is to return for Milwaukee's regular-season finale Sept. 28 against Cincinnati, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The best-case timeline, according to Murphy, would mean Megill would throw a bullpen Tuesday and live batting practice Friday. The timeline could be adjusted based on how the right-hander recovers from the throwing sessions, but that would mean he wouldn't return until the postseason. The Brewers are tracking toward a top-two seed in the NL, which would allow them to bypass the wild-card round and give Megill extra time to get healthy.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The left-handed-hitting Bauers will take a seat against left-hander Matthew Liberatore, allowing Andrew Vaughn to draw the start at first base. Bauers has taken hold of the strong side of a platoon at first base with Vaughn as the regular season winds down.

Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The left-handed-hitting Turang will take a seat Sunday against southpaw Matthew Liberatore. The second baseman had been part of the starting nine in each of the Brewers' last 14 games and went 14-for-56 (.250 average) with eight runs scored and seven RBI during that stretch.

Frelick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The lefty-hitting Frelick will retreat to the dugout while the Brewers run out a lineup of seven right-handed hitters and two switch hitters to counter southpaw Matthew Liberatore. Isaac Collins, Blake Perkins and Jackson Chourio will fill the outfield from left to right.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Yelich will dodge a same-handed matchup against southpaw Matthew Liberatore on Sunday, clearing a spot in the lineup at designated hitter for Rhys Hoskins. While starting in each of Milwaukee's previous 11 games, Yelich went 12-for-48 (.250 average) with two home runs.

Ramos went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Ramos hit a leadoff single in the first inning before coming around to score and later added another base hit in the fourth. It was the 26-year-old outfielder's first multi-hit performance since Sept. 5. Over 17 games this month, he's slashing .186/.260/.286 with 11 runs scored, four RBI and two home runs across 77 plate appearances.

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

Norby will give way to Graham Pauley at third base after after starting at the hot corner in the first two games of the series. Since returning from the injured list Monday, Norby has gone 7-for-19 with a solo home run, two doubles and an additional run in four games.

Eldridge went 1-for-3 with three RBI, a double, a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Eldridge hit a three-run double to left field in the first inning before coming around to score, giving the Giants an early 4-0 lead. It was the 20-year-old's first major-league hit after going 0-for-9 in his first three games. Before being called up to the majors, Eldridge slashed .249/.322/.514 with 63 RBI, 31 runs scored, 18 long balls and a stolen base across 286 plate appearances for Triple-A Sacramento.
