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

He will retreat to the bench while Tommy Edman picks up the start at shortstop Sunday. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 7 after recovering from forearm tightness, Rojas has sizzled at the plate with a .349/.364/.460 slash line to go with 10 RBI and 10 runs in 19 games.

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

Austin Barnes will spell Smith behind the dish after the latter catcher started in both of the first two games of the series. Despite banging out two hits in Saturday's 8-6 win, Smith still endured a tough August, slashing just .194/.298/.319 with two home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs on the month.

The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Wrobleski initially looked like he might only be in store for a spot start Sunday, but he could have the opportunity to stick around for a few turns through the rotation after Clayton Kershaw (toe) landed on the injured list Saturday. Over his previous five starts with the big club this season, the rookie southpaw turned in a 4.68 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB across 25 innings.

The Giants reinstated Beck (arm) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Beck will join the big club for the first time all season after completing his recovery from surgery to address an upper right arm aneurysm, which cropped up during spring training. The right-hander got stretched out to 56 pitches and three innings over his five minor-league rehab outings, so he be an option for the rotation if the Giants elect to expand to six men at some point in September. For the time being, however, Beck will likely serve as a multi-inning reliever.

The Giants recalled Sabol from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

The addition of Sabol gives the Giants a third catcher behind Patrick Bailey and Curt Casali who's also capable of filling in at first base or in the corner outfield in a pinch. Sabol spent the entire 2023 season on the Giants' roster as a Rule 5 selection, but he's logged just 38 plate appearances over 11 games with the big club in 2024.

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

Ramos has gone 0-for-11 with four strikeouts over the Giants' previous three contests, so he'll get a breather while Jerar Encarnacion enters the lineup as the team's designated hitter. The 25-year-old outfielder had started in each of the Giants' last 23 games, slashing .244/.303/.478 during that stretch.

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

Wisely has now picked up starts in consecutive contests to close out the weekend, and he should be in store for a strong-side platoon role at the keystone after the Giants recently moved Thairo Estrada off the 40-man roster. Over 218 plate appearances with the big club this season, Wisely has supplied a .250/.286/.368 slash line to go with three home runs and two stolen bases.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Bailey will get a breather for the day game after he had started at catcher in each of the Giants' three contests while going 1-for-11 with four strikeouts following his return from the injured list Thursday. Curt Casali will check in for Bailey behind the plate.

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

Norby will take a seat for the first time since he was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 19 in advance of his Marlins debut. Jose Devers will enter the lineup and pick up a start at second base in place of the resting Norby, who has produced a 1.002 OPS with two stolen bases and three home runs through his first 12 games with Miami.

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

After seeing his six-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4, two-strikeout showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Burger will get a breather for the series finale. He'll give way at first base to David Hensley in what amounts to Burger's first day off since July 25.
