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

He'll head to the bench for the first time since Sept. 2, ending a streak of 10 consecutive starts during which he hit .308 with one home run, three steals, seven RBI and five runs. With Beck taking a seat, the Rockies will have a spot in the outfield available for Yanquiel Fernandez, who will cover right field and bat sixth.

Ritter (undisclosed) will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Ritter was held out of the lineup for each of the previous five games due to an unspecified issue, though he was able to make an appearance off the bench in Saturday's 11-3 loss. He reached base in his lone plate appearance when he was hit by a pitch, but he was able to stay in the game and is now ready to reclaim a starting role in the series finale.

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

Karros will hit the bench after he started in each of the last six games while going 2-for-20 with one walk and six strikeouts. Kyle Farmer will step in for Karros at third base and will bat seventh.

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

Goodman will retreat to the bench after he started in each of the Rockies' last six games, with five coming behind the plate. Braxton Fulford will handle catching duties for Colorado in the series finale.

Robles is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Robles started the previous two games and will hit the bench Sunday after going 1-for-6 with three strikeouts and a caught stealing. Dominic Canzone will start in right field and bat seventh against veteran righty Kyle Hendricks.

Davidson will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Davidson will draw his fifth straight start at first base after going 3-for-15 with a home run and a double over the past four games. The Angels appear content to give Davidson a look in a near-everyday role at the position until Nolan Schanuel (wrist) is cleared to make his return from the injured list.

Peraza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Peraza will take a seat for the second day in a row and for the third time in four games. Though Peraza had earned regular starts at first base to begin the month, he appears to have since been supplanted by Logan Davidson as the Angels' top option at the position.

Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

For the second day in a row, Rengifo will take a seat in favor of rookie Christian Moore, who will cover second base and bat fifth in the series finale. At 69-80, the Angels are effectively eliminated from playoff contention, so it wouldn't be surprising if the club moved Rengifo into a utility role over the final two weeks in order to open up regular playing time for Moore, who is viewed as the organization's long-term future at the keystone.

Neto (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Neto sustained a hand injury while taking a swing Thursday and will sit Sunday for the third consecutive game. The Angels have a team day off Monday, so the shortstop will have an extra day to recover before Tuesday's series opener in Milwaukee. Denzer Guzman will pick up another start at shortstop for the Halos.

Flores will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Flores has mostly occupied the short side of a platoon with Dominic Smith (hamstring) since the All-Star break, but with Smith landing on the injured list Saturday, Flores should get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis. The 34-year-old heads into Sunday's contest having produced a .238/.306/.375 slash line with 15 home runs, 67 RBI, 41 runs and one stolen base in 444 plate appearances on the season.
