McGough was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

The right-hander was called up by Arizona a week ago and will return to Triple-A after firing two scoreless frames in Saturday's contest. McGough struggled to a 7.44 ERA in 26 big-league appearances last season and will likely be limited to middle relief if he rejoins the Diamondbacks later this year.

Winker was lifted from the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals ahead of the bottom of the fourth inning due to right side discomfort, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Winker drew a walk in the first inning and hit an RBI sacrifice fly in the third, but it's unclear if he picked up the injury on any of his swings or while he was playing defense in left field. Regardless, Winker will be on the bench for the rest of the matinee, and his availability for the nightcap would seem to be in doubt. Jeff McNeil shifted from second base to left field in the bottom of the fourth upon Winker's removal from the game.

Koss will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Koss will occupy the keystone for the third time in four games and could get a look as the Giants' primary option at the position after Tyler Fitzgerald (rib) joined Casey Schmitt (oblique) on the injured list. After making the Giants' roster out of spring training, Koss had seen limited playing time through the end of April, logging just 26 plate appearances over the team's first 31 games. Along with Koss, Brett Wisely is also in the mix for playing time at second base while Fitzgerald and Schmitt are on the shelf.

Ramos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The Giants haven't indicated that Ramos is dealing with any physical concerns, so the 25-year-old is presumably just getting a well overdue rest day after he had started in each of the team's first 34 games. Luis Matos will spell Ramos in left field and will bat seventh.

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

Martini had started at designated hitter in each of the Rockies' last three games against right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Sunday while the Giants send righty Logan Webb to the bump. Hunter Goodman will get a day off from catching duties, but the Rockies will keep his bat in the lineup by using him at DH.

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

On the bench for the third time in four games after slashing just .179/.238/.333 through his first 15 games of the season, Amador could be at risk of a demotion now that the Rockies have seemingly pulled the plug on him as an everyday player. Colorado will give Kyle Farmer the start at second base Sunday, and Owen Miller also remains in the mix for occasional playing time at the keystone.

Collins will start in left field and bat second Sunday against the Cubs.

The switch-hitting Collins has now batted second in the Brewers' last two matchups against left-handed pitchers, but the 27-year-old has been gaining a foothold in Milwaukee's lineup against righties too, and he seems to be the main beneficiary of an IL stint for Garrett Mitchell (oblique). Collins has held his own over 48 plate appearances, slashing .256/.333/.419 with a home run and two stolen bases.

The Diamondbacks recalled Henry from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

The left-hander will join the Diamondbacks for the first time in 2025 with Corbin Burnes (shoulder) and Merrill Kelly (hamstring) banged up. Burnes isn't starting Monday as scheduled, which is expected to result in Ryne Nelson making his first start of the season. Henry, who has an 8.53 ERA through six starts with Reno this year, is joining Arizona to provide some length out of the bullpen.

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

Kelly will take a seat for the series finale after drawing starts behind the plate in the first two games in Milwaukee. Miguel Amaya will handle catching duties Sunday.

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

Kepler will hit the bench along with Brandon Marsh and Bryson Stott while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill. Weston Wilson will enter the lineup in Kepler's stead, drawing a start at first base while Bryce Harper serves as the Phillies' designated hitter and Kyle Schwarber mans left field.
