Joyce is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves are bringing a lefty starter (Robbie Erlin) to the hill for the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Joyce will unsurprisingly take a seat. Lewis Brinson will spell Joyce in left field and bat fifth in the Miami lineup.

Joyce is not in the lineup Tuesday against Toronto, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joyce appears to be the Marlins' preferred option in right field against righties, but he's yet to start against a lefty this season, a trend that will continue against Hyun-Jin Ryu on Tuesday. Lewis Brinson will get the nod in right in his absence.

Joyce revealed Wednesday that he had tested positive for COVID-19 during summer camp and felt moderate symptoms, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joyce was still out for the first three games of the season but was cleared to play when the Marlins' season resumed Tuesday following their eight-day break due to an outbreak of the virus. He didn't start Tuesday's game against the Orioles but is in the lineup for the afternoon portion of Wednesday's doubleheader, batting sixth and serving as the designated hitter.
