Rincones is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The left-handed hitter will hit the bench for the series finale while the Tigers send southpaw Tarik Skubal to the hill. Edmundo Sosa will take Rincones' spot in the outfield, covering left while batting fifth.

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

On the bench for the second straight day and for the third time in the last five games, Young looks to be slipped into a part-time role, having provided a middling .224/.275/.369 slash line over 288 plate appearances on the season. Dylan Crews will shift over to cover Young's usual position in center field, while the freshly recalled Abimelec Ortiz replaces Young in the lineup as the designated hitter while batting third in his MLB debut.

Crawford (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

It's the third straight absence for Crawford after being scratched from Friday's starting nine due to left knee soreness. The 23-year will now have three additional days to recover from the injury before the Phillies open the second half of the season Thursday against the Mets. Derek Hill is starting in center field again Sunday for Philadelphia.

Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

With the game tied at 1-1 in the sixth inning, Schmitt launched a three-run homer to left-center field. The 27-year-old has recorded a hit in three straight games and in seven of his 10 appearances in July, during which he's batting .262 with seven RBI, five runs scored and three home runs in 45 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .280/.309/.500 with 50 RBI, 42 runs scored, 19 long balls and seven stolen bases across 366 plate appearances this season.

Lara is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Lara will head to the bench after he went 2-for-6 with a double, two walks and a run while starting both games of Saturday's doubleheader. Though he isn't locked in as a regular in the Milwaukee outfield just yet, the switch-hitting Lara will likely be a mainstay in the lineup against left-handed pitching and should handle at least a part-time role versus righties.

Callihan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

The left-handed hitter will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Brewers face off against another lefty starter in Robert Gasser. Since blasting two home runs in a June 10 game against the Dodgers, Callihan has left the yard just once in his subsequent 24 contests, and he's slashing an underwhelming .231/.282/.354 during that stretch. He could soon find himself as the odd man out of the lineup against right-handed pitching after the Pirates completed a trade earlier in the weekend for another left-handed bat in Jacob Gonzalez, who may be in store for playing time at first base while Spencer Horwitz (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

The Brewers designated Jones for assignment Sunday.

Milwaukee dropped Jones from its 40-man roster to clear a spot for another utility player in Braden Shewmake, whom the team acquired in a trade with the Astros. Jones has had two stints with the big club this season, going just 2-for-23 with a 0:10 BB:K over 12 games.

Moniak went 2-for-4 on Saturday against the Giants.

Moniak was the only Rockie to reach base multiple times, and he tallied his fifth multi-hit effort across his last eight starts. He's also hitting .406 with six RBI, seven runs scored and two home runs across 10 appearances since the start of July, helping him build upon his breakout 2025 season. Moniak is pacing for a career-high home run total despite missing a month with an ankle injury, and he's also maintained a .283 batting average across 223 plate appearances.

Reynolds went 2-for-6 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Reynolds was overshadowed by Esmerlyn Valdez's three-homer day, but he delivered the game-winning RBI in the sixth inning in the second game of the doubleheader. Reynolds will head into the All-Star break having gone 11-for-39 with three homers, six RBI and nine runs scored across 10 games in July.

Tawa went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Dodgers.

Tawa has posted back-to-back three-hit efforts against the Dodgers' pitching, racking up six RBI in that span. The utility man is getting a run of time at first base; he's a right-handed hitter, but he's started there against two righty starters as well Friday's bullpen game. Tawa is batting .213 with a .647 OPS, two home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, five doubles and two stolen bases over 38 contests in the majors this season.
