The Phillies reinstated Robert (finger) from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

The 30-year-old right-hander had posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 12 innings out of the bullpen this season before being placed on the IL on Aug. 1 due to a blister on his right middle finger. He's healthy now but will remain with Lehigh Valley, where he had been on a rehab assignment.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Sosa had started in seven of the Phillies' last eight games, but his playing time will tail off after Philadelphia activated Alec Bohm (rib) from the injured list Sunday and reinstalled him as its everyday third baseman. Expect most of Sosa's playing time to come against left-handed pitching, though he'll be on the bench Sunday against Washington southpaw Mitchell Parker.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Kepler will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Nationals send another lefty to the hill in Mitchell Parker. Weston Wilson will spell Kepler in left field and bat seventh.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Marsh will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Nationals send another lefty to the hill in Mitchell Parker. Harrison Bader will spell Marsh in center field and bat sixth.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

With the series finale in Washington beginning at 11:35 a.m. ET, Realmuto will get a chance to catch his breath after he went 2-for-4 while playing eight innings behind the dish in Saturday's 2-0 win. Rafael Marchan will handle the catching duties for Philadelphia on Sunday.

Lynch (5-2) earned the win Saturday against the White Sox. He allowed a hit and no walks with no strikeouts over two scoreless innings.

The southpaw came on in relief after Michael Lorenzen worked four innings in his return from the IL. Since returning from the injured list himself with an elbow injury Aug. 3, Lynch has posted a 3.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across six appearances, picking up two wins over 10.1 innings.

Hernaiz went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-2 victory over the Angels.

Hernaiz played a role in Saturday's win, delivering a two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded off Tyler Anderson in the third inning. The infielder has seen fairly consistent playing time since Jacob Wilson went down with a forearm injury and has made the most of it, posting a .758 OPS through 16 games at the big-league level this season.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rays.

Adames singled to left field in the sixth inning, then stole second before coming around to score the Giants' lone run. The 29-year-old shortstop has recorded a hit and a stolen base in back-to-back outings after going 0-for-18 over his previous five games. He's slashing .235/.316/.480 with 19 runs scored, 14 RBI, seven homers, four doubles and two stolen bases across 114 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-7 loss to Colorado.

Perdomo continues to thrive as the leadoff batter. In five games since being moved to the top of the order, he's reached base safely nine times (.391 OBP) with three steals and eight runs scored. Saturday's stolen base was his career-high 20th.

Winn threw a scoreless ninth inning in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rays, allowing one hit and one walk.

The 27-year-old made his season debut with San Francisco due to Ryan Walker being placed on the paternity list. Winn threw only five of his 12 pitches for strikes, and the right-hander had struggled at Triple-A Sacramento before being recalled, recording a 9.31 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 20:7 K:BB across 19.1 innings in 11 appearances (three starts).
