Gray is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Gray started in each of the previous three contests and went 4-for-11 with a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI, but he may have to settle for a part-time role moving forward. The Rays will get Yandy Diaz (hamstring) back Sunday following a one-game absence, and top prospect Carson Williams is likely to get an extended look at shortstop after getting called up from Triple-A Durham on Friday. Even with Ha-Seong Kim (back) and Taylor Walls (groin) on the injured list, Gray lacks a clear path to everyday playing time in the middle infield.

Mangum is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Mangum is a switch hitter, but he's been far more effective against right-handed pitching (.769 OPS in 228 plate appearances) than lefties (.451 OPS in 100 plate appearances) this season. He'll cede the start in center field to Everson Pereira while the Cardinals send Matthew Liberatore to the hill.

Seymour is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

With southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the hill for St. Louis, the left-handed-hitting Seymour will head to the bench while the Rays go with Yandy Diaz at first base and Christopher Morel at designated hitter in the series finale. Since being called up from Triple-A Durham on Aug. 15, Seymour has gone 4-for-24 (.167 average) with one home run and a 1:12 BB:K in seven games.

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

With southpaw Matthew Liberatore toeing the rubber for the Cardinals, Feduccia will give way to Nick Fortes behind the dish. Feduccia has produced a minuscule .506 OPS in 15 games since being acquired from the Dodgers at the trade deadline.

The Brewers recalled Patrick from Triple-A Nashville to start Sunday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander was temporarily promoted for a spot start during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs and will rejoin the Brewers to close out the weekend series versus the Giants. Patrick took the loss in Chicago after giving up five runs (three earned), but he's mostly been an effective rotation piece during his rookie season with a 3.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 99:32 K:BB over 99.2 innings at the big-league level.

Seymour is slated to start Monday's game against the Guardians in Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

At least for one turn through the rotation, Seymour will take over the starting role that was vacated by Joe Boyle, who was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday. Since being called up from Triple-A on July 31, Seymour has made five relief appearances, but he covered 3.1 innings Aug. 15 in San Francisco and three frames in his most recent appearance Tuesday against the Yankees, so he should be reasonably stretched out ahead of his first MLB start. The 26-year-old lefty had previously been serving as a full-time member of the rotation at Durham, producing a 2.62 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 104:20 K:BB in 86 innings.

Winn was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays due to left knee pain, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The shortstop received an injection in the knee over the All-Star break to address lingering discomfort and had been playing through the issue while starting all but two of the Cardinals' last 33 games, but his condition appears to have worsened while taking on the heavy workload. He can be considered day-to-day heading into the Cardinals' four-game series with the Pirates that begins Monday.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Yankees.

Lowe contributed to Boston's seven-run ninth inning with a run-producing single and then scored himself. He's either scored or driven in a run in five straight games since joining the Red Sox. Lowe is 5-for-14 with three walks, two doubles, a home run, five RBI and four runs scored for his new team.

The Cardinals optioned Veneziano to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Veneziano will cede his spot in the St. Louis bullpen to John King (oblique), who was activated from the 15-day injured list. After being called up from Memphis last Sunday, Veneziano made two relief appearances for the Cardinals and gave up two earned runs on three hits and one walk over four innings.

Diaz (hamstring) will start at first base and bat third Sunday against the Cardinals, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.

Diaz sustained a low-grade hamstring strain in the series opener versus St. Louis on Thursday and sat out Friday's 10-6 win, but he'll return to the lineup following Saturday's team off day. The first baseman has collected at least one hit in eight of his past 10 games and has five multi-hit efforts during that span.
