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

Hoerner will receive a breather after starting 11 straight games while slashing .275/.333/.425 with a home run, a stolen base, six RBI and six runs. Willi Castro will step in for Hoerner at the keystone.

Kurtz (oblique) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

The 22-year-old had an MRI come back clean Saturday, but he'll still be held out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Manager Mark Kotsay indicated Saturday that Kurtz should be back soon but didn't provide a target date. Tyler Soderstrom is filling it at first base, with Carlos Cortes starting in left field.

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

Kelly will hit the bench for the third time in four games while the Cubs go with Reese McGuire behind the plate. Dating back to Aug. 10, Kelly is slashing just .149/.226/.149, and his downturn in production appears to have pushed him into a timeshare with McGuire.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

The 25-year-old was scheduled to receive a day off Friday before James McCann (back) was scratched, and Moreno will instead get that break Sunday. Adrian Del Castillo will start at catcher and bat fifth for the series finale in Los Angeles.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

The veteran outfielder had started the previous 16 games and will get a well-deserved off day over posting an .874 OPS with five home runs and 21 RBI during that stretch. Jake McCarthy will receive a start in left field with Gurriel on the bench Sunday.

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

Goodman started the first two games of the series and will receive Sunday off after going 4-for-8 with an RBI and a run scored. Braxton Fulford will take over behind the plate and bat seventh in the series finale.

Bernabel (knee/quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Bernabel exited Saturday's 4-3 loss due to a knee and quad bruise, and he'll be held out of the lineup for the series finale as a result. The 23-year-old should be considered day-to-day while Kyle Farmer receives a start at first base.

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

The versatile Dubon will hit the bench after starting 11 straight games across three different positions. His last two starts came in center field, where he could end up seeing the bulk of his playing time until Jake Meyers (calf) is ready to return from the injured list.

The Angels placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

The veteran left-hander delivered five scoreless frames Friday in Houston, but that could end up being his final start of the campaign. Anderson will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 14, but oblique injuries often require longer than 15 days of recovery time. If the 35-year-old is unable to return to the mound in 2025, he'll finish the campaign with a 4.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 104:57 K:BB across 136.1 innings.

Teodosio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Teodosio has been serving as the Angels' everyday center fielder for much of August, but he'll sit for the series finale in Houston after starting 18 straight games and slashing a poor .170/.237/.245 with zero home runs and one stolen base. Jo Adell will slide over from his usual spot in right field to cover center field.
