Wendle is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Jon Berti will start at shortstop and bat ninth versus the Nats and right-hander Trevor Williams. Wendle went 0-for-2 in the Marlins' loss to Washington on Saturday and holds a weak .229/.264/.325 slash line across 268 total plate appearances this year.

Reyes (elbow) will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Though Reyes was initially expected to get the day off after he was pulled from Saturday's 8-5 win with left elbow pain, he'll end up getting his fifth straight start Sunday. The Red Sox scratched third baseman Rafael Devers (wrist) from the lineup to clear a spot for Reyes.

Reyes (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Reyes will see his streak of four straight starts come to an end Sunday while he nurses left elbow pain. Luis Urias will spell Reyes at second base in the series finale.

Neto (back) resumed baseball activities in New York on Aug. 25, per MLB.com.

Neto is reportedly pain-free after going on the injured list in early August due to lower-back discomfort. The rookie shortstop was originally slated to start up baseball activities during the Angels' last homestand but had that plan pushed back a few days for unspecified reasons. Neto will likely need a minor-league rehab stint before being activated, so he's probably still a couple weeks away from a return.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Milwaukee on Saturday.

In another quiet performance by San Diego's offense, Bogaerts provided an early spark with his second-inning solo shot. The shortstop has been flashing more power of late, going deep three times in his past six games. However, he has only one other hit and no walks while batting just .174 over that span.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

Marte has seen regular playing time since he was called up a week ago. He's hitting a modest .227 (5-for-22) with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored, though he's also logged four steals. His speed was on display with 18 thefts over 89 contests in the minors this year prior to his promotion. Marte has mostly played at third base, moving Elly De La Cruz into a more permanent role at shortstop while Matt McLain handles second base.

De La Cruz went 0-for-4 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

De La Cruz has done a lot of things since rising to the majors, but he hasn't shown a lot of patience at the plate with a 7.2 percent walk rate and 34.3 percent strikeout rate. The infielder's pair of walks Saturday accounted for just the fourth time he's drawn multiple walks in a game. He's still finding a fair amount of success with a .248/.304/.447 slash line, 22 steals, 11 home runs, 33 RBI and 52 runs scored over his first 69 contests.

McLain went 2-for-6 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

McLain got the Reds on the board in the sixth inning with his solo homer, and he tied the game by knocking in a run with a groundout in the ninth. He was again responsible for extending the game in the 10th, though it was because of a fielding error that allowed Arizona to keep a rally alive. He's knocked three homers and added six RBI over his last six games. For the season, the infielder is at a .294/.361/.512 slash line with 16 homers, 14 steals, 50 RBI, 65 runs scored, 23 doubles and four triples through 88 contests.

Reyes was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers with left elbow pain, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

The Red Sox didn't provide any specifics regarding what exactly is wrong with Reyes or how severe his injury is, but more information should be available in the near future. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.

Volpe will sit Saturday against the Rays.

Volpe has been swinging the bat well lately, hitting .269/.356/.519 with three homers over his last 16 games. Oswald Peraza will get the start at shortstop Saturday.
