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

The Pirates will go with Henry Davis behind the plate Sunday while Flores rests for the second time in the series. Though he's maintained a solid .794 OPS over 105 plate appearances with the Pirates on the season, Flores has fallen into a bit of cold spell lately, going 4-for-30 with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate over his last nine games.

Hill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Hill started the past five contests and will hit the bench Sunday after going 7-for-19 (.368) with no extra-base hits, four RBI and three runs during that span. Grant McCray will take over in left field and bat seventh for the series finale in Queens.

Manager Craig Counsell said he "fully expects" Webb (forearm) to be available to pitch Sunday against the Marlins, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The right-hander hasn't taken the mound since being struck by a 102.5-mph comebacker Wednesday against the Brewers, but he avoided a fracture and appears good to go after taking it easy for a few days. Webb has surrendered seven runs across his past four appearances but is still in the mix at closer for the Cubs, having recorded nine saves with a 3.15 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB over 60 innings this year.

Winn (thumb) will have his activation from the 10-day injured list delayed due to discomfort he felt during pregame batting practice Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn had targeted a return Saturday, but certain kinds of swings still give him trouble and the Cardinals "need to get on the other side of it completely" before the shortstop is reinstated, per manager Oliver Marmol. The 24-year-old has missed the last two-plus weeks with a small fracture in his left thumb. Winn's readiness to return to the active roster will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Thomas Saggese has drawn the last six starts at shortstop for St. Louis in Winn's stead.

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

Goodman will hit the bench Sunday after a run of eight straight starts, during which he batted .219 (7-for-32) with three walks, two doubles, four RBI, four runs and 12 strikeouts. Brett Sullivan will instead do the catching for Tanner Gordon while batting seventh in the series finale versus St. Louis.

Kim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Kim had started the last four games and seven of the previous nine, going 6-for-21 (.286 average) with one walk, two RBI, one run and one stolen base during that span. The 30-year-old is still slashing an abysmal .113/.204/.124 on the season and may have more work to do before settling back into an everyday role at shortstop.

Basabe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Mets.

Basabe lined a homer to left-center field in the eighth inning, giving San Francisco an 8-3 lead. He's recorded a hit in four of the Giants' last six games, batting .286 with four runs scored, four RBI and two home runs in 17 plate appearances during that span. The 25-year-old is slashing .216/.264/.382 with 12 runs scored, 12 RBI, five long balls and two stolen bases across 111 plate appearances this season.

McCray went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Mets.

McCray hit a leadoff single in the third inning before coming around to score, and he also launched a solo shot in the ninth. The 25-year-old recorded his first multi-hit performance of the season and is now slashing .143/.262/.304 with 11 runs scored, four stolen bases, three RBI and two long balls across 68 plate appearances in 2026.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto will get a breather after starting the previous four games and going 1-for-13 with two walks and four strikeouts. Garrett Stubbs will step in behind the plate to catch for right-hander Aaron Nola while batting ninth.

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

Jorge was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Friday and made his first MLB start Saturday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. The 22-year-old will shift to the bench Sunday as lefty Kyle Harrison takes the mound for Milwaukee, with Jorge expected to continue operating on the strong side of a platoon in center field moving forward. Dane Myers is starting in center and batting leadoff for Cincinnati.
