Fraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

The left-handed hitter will be left out of the starting nine once again while the Rays face off against a fourth consecutive left-handed starting pitcher in Payton Tolle. Fraley's platoon partner, Jonny DeLuca, will cover right field for the Rays.

Benintendi (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

The veteran outfielder was scratched from the lineup Saturday due to neck stiffness and is on the bench Sunday for a second straight game. Randal Grichuk is receiving another start at designated hitter in the series finale versus Seattle.

Friedl is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Friedl has gone 1-for-17 across the past five games and will hit the bench Sunday with opposing pitcher Kai-Wei Teng starting what is expected to be a bullpen game for Houston. Blake Dunn will take over in center field while Will Benson steps into the leadoff spot for Cincinnati.

Springer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

It's likely just a maintenance day for Springer, who has gone 3-for-16 with a double and a walk over the past four games after missing two contests due to a hit-by-pitch on his already sore foot. Vladimir Guerrero is resting his legs as the designated hitter Sunday while Lenyn Sosa picks up a start at first base.

Waldschmidt started in center field and went 0-for-3 while striking out three times in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Waldschmidt, who was called up from Triple-A Reno on Friday, was making his first start in the majors. He was called up after the Diamondbacks designated Alek Thomas for assignment and is expected to receive plenty of opportunities to adapt to MLB pitching.

Pages went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Atlanta.

Pages took Reynaldo Lopez deep in the ninth inning, keeping the Dodgers from getting shut out. With four homers over his last three games, Pages looks to have shaken off the power drought that saw him go 20 contests without a long ball. The outfielder is batting .333 with a .948 OPS, nine homers, 35 RBI, 23 runs scored, six stolen bases and eight doubles across 39 games this season, as he's turned himself into one of the steadiest hitters in the Dodgers' lineup.

White went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

White continues to be Atlanta's fourth outfielder, most often drawing into the lineup as a platoon partner for Mike Yastrzemski in right field. The steal was White's first this season after he notched 10 steals on 11 attempts over 105 games in the 2025 regular season. The outfielder is batting .232 with a .647 OPS, two home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored across 61 plate appearances in 2026.

Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Phillies.

Castro got the Rockies on the board with his solo shot in the second inning, his second homer of the season. That also extended his hitting streak to six games, during which he's gone 8-for-24 with two RBI and five runs scored. Castro has played nearly every day across the last two weeks, splitting his playing time evenly between second and third base, though he drew a start at shortstop Saturday.

Betts (oblique) will travel back to Los Angeles on Sunday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday ahead of the Dodgers' four-game home series against the Giants, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Betts was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. He's gone 2-for-5 with a walk and a run scored across two minor-league outings, and it looks like the veteran shortstop has progressed enough in his recovery from a right oblique strain to return to the Dodgers. When Betts is activated off the IL, Hyeseong Kim and Miguel Rojas both stand to lose out on playing time.

Wood went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.

Wood led off the game with a 442-foot blast and was a consistent contributor in a losing effort. Over his past 10 games, the 23-year-old has posted four multi-hit performances, five extra-base hits, eight runs scored and seven RBI. For the year, he's slashing .243/.395/.526 with 11 homers, 28 RBI, 35 runs scored and seven steals across 190 plate appearances.
