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

Sanchez had started in each of the Marlins' previous three matchups with right-handed starters, but he'll cede catching duties to Nick Fortes in the series finale while the Giants send right-hander Logan Webb to the hill. Sanchez and Fortes will likely continue to operate in a timeshare down the stretch, and the Marlins' catching picture could become even murkier with Miami using one of its two September call-ups on a third backstop in Jhonny Pereda.

The Marlins recalled Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Pereda will provide the Marlins with a third catcher behind Nick Fortes and Ali Sanchez for the final month of the season. Over his 199 plate appearances with Jacksonville in 2024, Pereda has slashed .302/.407/.444 with five home runs.

The Marlins recalled McCaughan from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. He'll start in the Marlins' series finale in San Francisco against the Giants.

McCaughan will take over the rotation spot that previously belonged to Roddery Munoz, who was optioned to Jacksonville on Wednesday. The 28-year-old right-hander has previously made five appearances at the big-league level this season between Cleveland and Miami, logging an 8.62 ERA and 2.11 WHIP over 15.2 innings. He performed much better over his 11 starts with Jacksonville (4.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 59:18 K:BB in 53.2 innings), but McCaughan doesn't make for a reliable streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

The Rockies placed Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Quantrill had been in line to start Sunday's series finale with the Orioles at Coors Field, but he was scratched a day in advance after experiencing right triceps inflammation. According to Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com, Quantrill's injury isn't considered significant, with manager Bud Black noting that the right-hander is expected to return from the IL before the end of September. Ty Blach was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Quantrill's spot on the active roster and in the rotation.

The Rockies selected Blach's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Orioles.

Colorado placed right-hander Cal Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list to open up room on the 28-man active roster and in the rotation for Blach. The soft-tossing southpaw has previously made 18 appearances (10 starts) for Colorado this season, pitching to a 3-6 record with a 6.36 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB in 63.2 innings.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

The Rockies and Orioles are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, and Blackmon will get some rest after he started in both of the previous two contests. Nolan Jones will replace Blackmon as the Rockies' designated hitter.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

The Mets will run out a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter White Sox southpaw Garrett Crochet in the series finale. McNeil will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Jesse Winker and Brandon Nimmo.

Winker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

The Mets will shield the lefty-hitting Winker from White Sox southpaw Garrett Crochet in the series finale. Tyrone Taylor will replace Winker as the Mets' starting left fielder.

Torrens will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

With top backstop Francisco Alvarez receiving a routine maintenance day, Torrens will step in behind the dish. Since being acquired from the Yankees on May 31, Torrens has appeared in 35 games (28 starts) for the Mets, logging a .250/.311/.406 slash line with three home runs, 15 RBI and 13 runs.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Alvarez will get a breather for the day game after starting at catcher in both of the Mets' previous two contests. Luis Torrens will step in behind the dish in the series finale.
