  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Resting up Sunday

    Kelly is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Kelly will get a day off after he started behind plate the previous two contests. Miguel Amaya will receive the nod at catcher and bat eighth for the series finale in Kansas City.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | MIL

    Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Good to go Tuesday

    Harrison (calves) is listed as the Brewers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

    The left-hander departed his previous start Wednesday versus Pittsburgh after striking out 10 across five scoreless frames due to bilateral calf cramps, but he's ready to take his next turn through the rotation. That start was Harrison's first following a month-long absence due to forearm issues, so the club may be cautious with his workload for his next couple of outings.

  • Cooper Pratt SS | MIL

    Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Heads to IL with hamstring strain

    The Brewers placed Pratt on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain.

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy disclosed that Pratt was set to undergo an MRI on Sunday after experiencing hamstring discomfort during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Twins. While the results of Pratt's imaging aren't yet available, the Brewers determined that the rookie's hamstring injury was enough of a concern to keep him out for the next week and a half. David Hamilton will draw the start at shortstop in Sunday's series finale, and he and Joey Ortiz (neck) will likely serve as the Brewers' primary options at the position while Pratt is on the shelf.

  • Joe Mack C | MIA

    Marlins' Joe Mack: Idle Sunday

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

    Agustin Ramirez will make a start behind the plate as Mack gets a breather. Mack handled catching duties in the first two games of the series, going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts to bring his season batting average down to .232.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Yelich started the previous six games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 4-for-23 with eight strikeouts during that span. William Contreras is resting his legs as the designated hitter, which allows Gary Sanchez to pick up a start behind the plate.

  • Jacob Gonzalez SS | PIT

    Pirates' Jacob Gonzalez: Idle against southpaw

    Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    The left-handed-hitting Gonzalez will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets send another lefty starter (Sean Manaea) to the bump. Jared Triolo will step in for Gonzalez at shortstop and will bat eighth.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Resting against lefty

    Horwitz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    After starting the past three games, the left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench while southpaw Sean Manaea toes the rubber for the Mets. Rafael Flores will replace Horwitz at first base and bat seventh.

  • Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Missing out on another start

    Rodriguez (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Rodriguez will receive a third straight game off while he tends to left hip discomfort. Henry Davis will draw another start behind the plate in place of Rodriguez, who is considered day-to-day.

  • Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Sitting amid slump

    Mitchell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Mitchell started the previous 12 contests and will receive a day off amid a 5-for-53 slump, which has dropped his OPS 70 points to .763. Brandon Lockridge is instead starting in center field Sunday for the Brewers.

  • Jorge Polanco DH | NYM

    Mets' Jorge Polanco: On bench for finale

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

    Polanco served as the designated hitter for the first two games of the series, but he'll cede those duties to Brett Baty in the finale. Since being activated from the 60-day injured list July 7, Polanco has yet to start more than two consecutive games and has put together a wretched .097/.138/.177 slash line with one home run, three RBI and four runs.
