Moreno is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Moreno went 2-for-7 with a double, an RBI and a run while starting the first two games of the series and will sit for Sunday's finale. Jose Herrera will take over behind the plate to catch for ace Corbin Burnes.

Yelich was removed from Sunday's game against the Phillies due to a right hand contusion.

Yelich was hit by a pitch during his first plate appearance and was replaced by a pinch hitter for his second time up Sunday. The veteran slugger is likely to undergo imaging to determine the severity of the injury.

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

Davis will give way behind the plate to Endy Rodriguez, who will pick up his first start since being activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Davis started the prior three games and looks like he could serve as the team's top option behind the plate while Joey Bart (concussion) is on the 7-day injured list. Davis wrapped up May with a .237/.341/.342 slash line and a 22.2 percent strikeout rate over 46 plate appearances on the month.

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

He'll hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Pirates hand Tommy Pham another start in left field. Canario still looks to be the Pirates' preferred option at the position, as he holds a 124-point edge in OPS over Pham on the season.

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

Carroll is in the midst of a 3-for-31 slump and will head to the bench for just the third time all season. Randal Grichuk is starting in right field and batting sixth versus Washington lefty Mitchell Parker.

Kelly is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

It's likely just a rest day for Kelly, who went 0-for-10 with a walk while starting the previous three games. Reese McGuire will step in behind the plate to catch for veteran righty Jameson Taillon on Sunday.

Sanoja will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Giants.

Sanoja will draw his fifth straight start and his second in a row in center field, but he's still likely to notice a downturn in playing time in the near future following Xavier Edwards' return from the injured list Saturday. With Edwards and Otto Lopez entrenched as the Marlins' top options in the middle infield, Sanoja could be limited to starts in the outfield against left-handed pitching in place of either Jesus Sanchez or Kyle Stowers.

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

Farmer had started the last three games, all at different positions (second base, designated hitter and first base), but he went 0-for-8 at the dish during that stretch. First base appears to be Farmer's clearest path to consistent playing time after the Rockies demoted Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday. Keston Hiura was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and he'll get the nod at first base Sunday in his Rockies debut.

Myers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Meyers went 0-for-5 with a walk and a run scored in his first two games since coming off the injured list Friday, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Javier Sanoja will instead start in center field versus San Francisco righty Hayden Birdsong.

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

Kepler will get a breather while the Brewers send southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Weston Wilson will check in for Kepler in left field.
