The Rockies placed Agnos on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right elbow flexor strain.

During a relief appearance Saturday, Agnos retired just one of the five batters he faced and was charged with four earned runs before being pulled from the game due to an unspecified arm injury. After further evaluation, the Rockies determined that the right-hander was dealing with an elbow strain, an injury that will most likely keep him on the shelf beyond the minimum 15 days. Colorado recalled Jaden Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque to take over Agnos' spot in the bullpen.

Arcia will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Arcia will cover the hot corner for the third game in a row and looks like he'll get the first chance to serve as the Rockies' primary option at the position after Colorado shipped Ryan McMahon to the Yankees earlier this weekend. Since signing with Colorado in late May, Arcia hasn't done much to prove that he's deserving of regular playing time. Through 35 games, the veteran infielder is slashing just .160/.200/.250 with two home runs, no stolen bases, five RBI and six runs.

Toglia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Toglia appears to have lost his regular role at first base to Warming Bernabel, as he'll be on the bench Sunday for the third time in four games. Since getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on June 16, Toglia has hit .193 with four home runs and one steal in 30 games while continuing to strike out at a high rate (37.3 percent).

Miller is transitioning to a relief role with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It seems like forever ago that Miller was among the most promising young starters in the game, but after an impressive 2023 rookie campaign with the Dodgers he lost his major-league role in 2024 and has given up seven earned runs over just five frames across two appearances with the big club this season. Miller also hasn't been very good with OKC this year, posting a 5.58 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 57:49 K:BB over 69.1 innings spanning 16 outings (14 starts). Converting Miller to a relief role could provide Los Angeles with a high-leverage option late in the campaign if he does well.

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

Goodman will get a routine breather for the day game after he went 0-for-3 while catching seven innings of Saturday night's 18-0 loss. Austin Nola will replace Goodman behind the dish.

Doyle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Despite going 7-for-13 at the dish to open the second half, Doyle finds himself on the bench for the fourth consecutive game. The Rockies haven't provided an explanation behind Doyle's ongoing absence from the lineup, and no reports have suggested that the two-time Gold Glove winner is dealing with any sort of injury. Yanquiel Fernandez has been the main beneficiary of Doyle exiting the lineup, as he'll crack the starting nine for the second time in three days.

Betts (personal) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Sunday against the Red Sox.

The 32-year-old didn't start the first two games versus Boston due to a personal matter, but he made an appearance as a pinch hitter in Saturday's contest. Betts has gone 3-for-30 over his past eight games, dropping his slash line for the season to .237/.308/.369, all of which would be career worsts.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Thomas (personal) from the bereavement list, and he will start in center field and bat eighth Sunday against the Pirates.

Thomas stepped away from the team for a couple days while on the bereavement list, but he's back with the Diamondbacks for Sunday's series finale in Pittsburgh. The 25-year-old has struggled at the plate through 15 games in July with a .234/.294/.362 slash line and 34 percent strikeout rate.

Sosa (back) will start at shortstop and bat seventh Sunday against the Yankees.

Sosa departed Saturday's 9-4 win due to a back contusion, but the injury is apparently not much of a concern since he's in the lineup a day later. The 29-year-old continues to perform well as a utility infielder for the Phillies and has an .812 OPS through 15 games in July.

Castellanos (knee) is starting in right field and batting cleanup Sunday against the Yankees.

The outfielder sat out of Saturday's contest after jamming his knee against the outfield wall Friday, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup after missing just one game. In seven games since the All-Star break, Castellanos is batting .241 (7-for-29) with a double, a homer, a stolen base, five RBI and four runs.
