Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Freeman returned from the 10-day injured list Friday, and in his first two games back in action, he went 1-for-6 with one run scored and three strikeouts. The Dodgers haven't indicated that Freeman is dealing with any setbacks with his surgically repaired right ankle, so his absence from the lineup Sunday is presumably a rest day. Enrique Hernandez will step in for Freeman at first base and will bat eighth.

Pages is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Pages went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. He'll begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Tommy Edman shifts to center field and Miguel Rojas starts at second base.

Siri could be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left shin contusion, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Siri had to be carted off the field after fouling a ball off his left leg Saturday against the Athletics. Initial tests didn't reveal any structural damage, but the 29-year-old outfielder is still using crutches and is in pain. Siri will continue to undergo testing, and if a stint on the IL is warranted, the Mets will look to Triple-A Syracuse for outfield depth.

Senger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Senger had started behind the dish in six of the previous seven games, but he'll likely see his playing time take a hit now that Luis Torrens has recovered from a bruised forearm. Senger may soon find himself off the 26-man active roster entirely, as Francisco Alvarez (hand) has already begun a minor-league rehab assignment and is nearing reinstatement from the 10-day injured list.

Thomas is not in Arizona's starting lineup against Milwaukee on Sunday.

Thomas is coming off a two-hit outing against the Brewers on Saturday, but he'll begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Jake McCarthy starts in center field and bats seventh. Thomas has started the season slashing .323/.371/.516 with five runs scored, two triples and eight RBI across 35 plate appearances.

Moreno is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup against the Brewers on Sunday.

Moreno will rest for the series finale while Jose Herrera starts behind home plate and bats ninth against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. Moreno has gone 1-for-12 with two walks, one run scored and three strikeouts over his last four starts.

Bryant is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Padres on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Bryant went 0-for-7 with two strikeouts in the first two games of the series. Kyle Farmer will serve as the designated hitter and bat third against Padres right-hander Michael King.

Sproat gave up one run on two hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Saturday's start for Triple-A Syracuse.

After a bumpy first outing this season, Sproat has bounced back to post an 8:2 K:BB over his last two starts and 8.1 innings for Syracuse. The 24-year-old righty tossed 75 pitches (51 strikes) in Saturday's appearance, and while he'll need to be more efficient before he'll be a real option for a spot start with the Mets, he's making progress toward his big-league debut.

Doyle (quadricep) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Doyle will be on the bench for a third consecutive game while he contends with left quad tightness. Per MLB.com, Doyle has said that his condition is improving, but a move to the injured list could be in the forecast if he doesn't return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers. With Doyle out once again Sunday, the Rockies will roll out an outfield of Zac Veen, Mickey Moniak and Nick Martini from left to right in the series finale in San Diego.

Marte is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Athletics on Sunday.

Marte will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-9 with two RBI and three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Mark Vientos will serve as the designated hitter while Luisangel Acuna and Brett Baty start at second and third base, respectively.
