The Phillies reinstated Robert (finger) from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

The 30-year-old right-hander had posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 12 innings out of the bullpen this season before being placed on the IL on Aug. 1 due to a blister on his right middle finger. He's healthy now but will remain with Lehigh Valley, where he had been on a rehab assignment.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Sosa had started in seven of the Phillies' last eight games, but his playing time will tail off after Philadelphia activated Alec Bohm (rib) from the injured list Sunday and reinstalled him as its everyday third baseman. Expect most of Sosa's playing time to come against left-handed pitching, though he'll be on the bench Sunday against Washington southpaw Mitchell Parker.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Kepler will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Nationals send another lefty to the hill in Mitchell Parker. Weston Wilson will spell Kepler in left field and bat seventh.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Marsh will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Nationals send another lefty to the hill in Mitchell Parker. Harrison Bader will spell Marsh in center field and bat sixth.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

With the series finale in Washington beginning at 11:35 a.m. ET, Realmuto will get a chance to catch his breath after he went 2-for-4 while playing eight innings behind the dish in Saturday's 2-0 win. Rafael Marchan will handle the catching duties for Philadelphia on Sunday.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rays.

Adames singled to left field in the sixth inning, then stole second before coming around to score the Giants' lone run. The 29-year-old shortstop has recorded a hit and a stolen base in back-to-back outings after going 0-for-18 over his previous five games. He's slashing .235/.316/.480 with 19 runs scored, 14 RBI, seven homers, four doubles and two stolen bases across 114 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-7 loss to Colorado.

Perdomo continues to thrive as the leadoff batter. In five games since being moved to the top of the order, he's reached base safely nine times (.391 OBP) with three steals and eight runs scored. Saturday's stolen base was his career-high 20th.

Winn threw a scoreless ninth inning in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rays, allowing one hit and one walk.

The 27-year-old made his season debut with San Francisco due to Ryan Walker being placed on the paternity list. Winn threw only five of his 12 pitches for strikes, and the right-hander had struggled at Triple-A Sacramento before being recalled, recording a 9.31 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 20:7 K:BB across 19.1 innings in 11 appearances (three starts).

The Phillies optioned Kemp to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

The rookie had started just three of the last eight games, and since his playing-time outlook wasn't going to improve with Alec Bohm (rib) returning from the injured list Sunday, the Phillies opted to send Kemp back to the minors. After getting called up from Triple-A on June 7, the 25-year-old slashed .228/.298/.359 with four home runs, one stolen base, 17 RBI and 17 runs over 46 games.

Del Castillo went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to Colorado.

Del Castillo made the most of his opportunities at altitude, notching his second three-RBI performance in the last week. The catcher has appeared in 20 games since being called up after the All-Star break, seeing most of his action at DH and batting .239 (16-for-67) with two homers and 10 RBI.
