The Cardinals recalled McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis to start Sunday against the Dodgers.

The right-hander made his season debut in early May with 5.2 scoreless frames for the Cardinals and will take the mound again Sunday in a tough matchup versus Los Angeles. McGreevy is one of the organization's top prospects and has pitched well at Memphis this season with a 2.78 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 58:12 K:BB across 55 innings. According to John Denton of MLB.com, manager Oliver Marmol has already indicated that McGreevy is likely to stick with the Cardinals beyond Sunday's contest.

Collins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

The switch-hitting Collins had started each of the Brewers' last three games against right-handed pitching, but he'll give way to Jake Bauers in left field while San Diego sends righty Ryan Bergert to the hill. Collins has gotten off to a nice start to June, going 3-for-7 with a home run, six walks and four RBI in five games.

Moreno (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Moreno is on the bench for a second straight day after he departed Friday's contest after being struck in the right hand by a wild pitch. The 25-year-old already had X-rays come back negative and should continue to be considered day-to-day, with Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona relaying that Moreno will be available to back up Jose Herrera on Sunday. Moreno could make his return to the starting nine as soon as the Diamondbacks' next game Monday versus the Mariners.

Kim went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

Kim got the start in center field and continued to make a strong impression with his bat, collecting his third multi-hit effort across his past four starts. The rookie has gone 8-for-15 with a homer, two RBI and two stolen bases during that span but continues to play sporadically -- he didn't start in any of Los Angeles' three games prior to Saturday. Kim has started at three different positions (center, second base and shortstop) this season as manager Dave Roberts looks to find room for him on a talented roster. Kim has done all he can to make a case for playing time, slashing .411/.441/.554 with two home runs, seven RBI, 13 runs and six stolen bases (in six attempts) across 25 games.

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

Diaz will take a seat for the second time in the series and the fourth time in the past six contests. Martin Maldonado appears to have at least temporarily moved ahead of him on the depth chart, though Diaz could reclaim primary catching duties if his bat heats up.

Muncy went 2-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base Saturday in a loss to St. Louis.

The Dodgers offense struggled to produce runs again Saturday, but Muncy did what he could to set the table from the middle of the order by reaching in all four of his trips to the plate. The veteran third baseman even got himself into scoring position with a rare stolen base -- his third of the campaign, which is already tied for the second-highest total of his career -- but he ended up being stranded there. Muncy continues to turn things around at the plate; he was hitting below the Mendoza Line as recently as May 14 but has batted .311 over 20 games since then to push his season slash line to .229/.353/.422.

Stowers (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Stowers will miss a fourth consecutive start while he continues to deal with a sore hand. Though he went unused in Saturday's extra-inning win, Stowers was reportedly available off the bench, so he appears likely to avoid a stint on the injured list. Javier Sanoja will get the nod in left field Sunday.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

With first pitch Sunday set for 12:10 p.m. EDT, Ramirez will get a breather after starting at either catcher or designated hitter in 18 straight contests. Liam Hicks will handle catching duties, and Heriberto Hernandez will serve as Miami's DH.

Walker (wrist) took swings off a tee Saturday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Walker had been shut down for a few days after being given an anti-inflammatory injection in his left wrist earlier this week. Per Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol, Walker's rehab will go "pretty quickly" as long as the wrist responds. Walker is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Sunday but still lacks a clear timeline for his return.

Espinal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Espinal is on the bench for the second day in a row and appears to have shifted back into a utility role in the wake of Christian Encarnacion-Strand's return from the injured list. Espinal has gone just 1-for-29 over his last eight games and is slashing just .239/.296/.287 over 204 plate appearances on the season.
