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.

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.

The Marlins scratched Marsee from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets due to back spasms, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Miami will treat the center fielder as day-to-day heading into its three-game series in Atlanta that begins Tuesday. Esteury Ruiz will draw the start Sunday in place of Marsee.

Tatis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Gavin Sheets will pick up the start in right field in place of Tatis, who appears to be receiving a planned day off. Tatis had started every contest dating back to June 22, posting a .280/.364/.483 slash line with six home runs, eight steals, 24 runs and 23 RBI over that 35-game stretch.

Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Waldschmidt will head to the bench for the series finale after starting in Arizona's last two games and four of the last five. Tim Tawa will cover center field in Waldschmidt's stead and will bat seventh.

The Pirates optioned Cook to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

The 27-year-old will lose his place on the active roster to Spencer Horwitz (concussion), who was activated from the injured list Sunday. Cook hasn't taken advantage of his chances in the big leagues this year and has a .200/.200/.267 slash line with 18 strikeouts in 45 plate appearances.

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

The left-handed hitter will stay on the bench for a second straight game while the Cardinals send another lefty to the bump in Matthew Liberatore. Myles Straw will pick up a start in right field in place of Lukes, who is slashing just .227/.306/.295 with no home runs, stolen bases or RBI and just five runs in 14 games since the All-Star break.
