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

Bregman will check out of the starting nine for the first time since July 30 in what appears to be a routine day off. Abraham Toro will cover third base in Bregman's stead Sunday.

Henriquez tied a Dodgers franchise record for the pitch-tracking era by throwing a 103.3 mph fastball against the Padres on Saturday. He tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in the victory, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out two batters.

The right-hander has always been known as a flamethrower, but he reached a new level against San Diego. The impressive velocity is not an isolated incident though, as Henriquez is averaging 101.3 mph on his fastball in the majors this year. Somewhat surprisingly, that's led to a modest four punchouts over six innings, but he's been very effective in that small sample, as he's yet to give up a run while surrendering just three hits and one walk. Los Angeles will probably need to see more to move Henriquez into a high-leverage role however, as he's posted a far less impressive 6.85 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 23.2 frames with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season.

Duran started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 14-2 loss to Toronto.

Duran stepped in at second base for the injured Marcus Semien (wrist), who was hit by a pitch Friday and held out Saturday. X-rays on Semien's wrist came back negative, and he'll be re-evaluated ahead of Sunday's series finale. While Duran can play multiple positions, second base is not high on his list of appearances. He's played 22 games there during his career, and only twice this season.

Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Pauley will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Troy Johnston, Liam Hicks and Jakob Marsee while the Red Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the hill. Javier Sanoja will replace Pauley at third base and will bat fifth.

Marsee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Marsee will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Troy Johnston, Liam Hicks and Graham Pauley while the Red Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the hill. Miami will roll out a starting outfield of Joey Wiemer, Derek Hill and Dane Myers from left to right in the series finale.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Hicks will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Troy Johnston, Jakob Marsee and Graham Pauley while southpaw Garrett Crochet takes the hill for Boston. With Hicks out of the lineup, Heriberto Hernandez will serve as the Marlins' designated hitter.

Johnston is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Johnston was in the lineup for three of the past four games against right-handed pitchers, but he'll take a seat Sunday while southpaw Garrett Crochet takes the bump for Boston. Johnston is slashing .214/.241/.357 with one home run and one stolen base over 29 plate appearances since getting called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on July 29.

The Reds designated Fraley (knee) for assignment Sunday.

The veteran outfielder hyperextended his right knee in Saturday's loss to the Brewers, but his 3-for-28 performance at the plate over his last 11 games likely has more to do with him being jettisoned from the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Fraley has been limited to 67 games this season due to shoulder and calf issues and has a .232/.332/.387 slash line in 193 plate appearances. He's making $3.125 million this season and will have his final year of arbitration eligibility in 2026, so it's unclear if he'll receive much interest on waivers.

Kayfus went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 10-1 loss to Atlanta.

Kayfus, who got off to a strong start in the majors, has hit the skids of late. Over the last six games, the rookie has gone 2-for-18 (.111) with a 25.0 percent strikeout rate. Overall, Kayfus has struck out 14 times in 44 plate appearances (31.8 percent).

The Marlins recalled Wiemer from Triple-A Jacksonville, and he'll start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Miami brought Wiemer aboard as a replacement for Kyle Stowers (oblique), who was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. With Stowers expected to miss several weeks while recovering from a Grade 1 strain, the team seems likely to lean on a committee to replace him. The right-handed-hitting Wiemer will crack the lineup Sunday against southpaw Garrett Crochet, but he could find playing time more difficult to come by against right-handed pitching. A skilled defender, Wiemer is capable of playing all three outfield spots, but he's struggled to a .203/.315/.357 slash line across 82 games with two Triple-A clubs this season.
