Brenton Doyle
CF COL
Sun 4/5/26 3:06 PM

Doyle is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle will head to the bench for the second time this season after starting the previous four games. He's yet to get on track at the plate and has just one hit and seven strikeouts in his past 11 at-bats. Jake McCarthy is manning center field in Doyle's place Sunday.

Kyle Karros
3B COL
Sun 4/5/26 3:01 PM

Karros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Karros started Colorado's first eight games of the season at third base but will hit the bench Sunday after beginning the year in a 5-for-25 slump. Willi Castro will shift to the hot corner while Edouard Julien receives a start at second base.

Jeremy Peña
SS HOU
Sun 4/5/26 2:59 PM

Pena is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pena played back-to-back games Friday and Saturday for the first time this season -- going 3-for-7 with two walks and three doubles -- so it's not a surprise he's taking a seat for Sunday's series finale in Sacramento. The 28-year-old will continue building up to an everyday workload after missing most of spring training due to a fractured right ring finger. Nick Allen is manning shortstop and batting ninth Sunday.

DTDBrendan Donovan
2B/3B/LF SEA
Sun 4/5/26 2:53 PM

Donovan (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old departed Friday's contest due to a groin issue and will be held out of the lineup Sunday for a second straight game. Donovan had medical imaging come back clean, so he could rejoin the starting nine within the next couple days. Leo Rivas is receiving another start at third base Sunday for Seattle.

DTDTyler Freeman
2B/RF/DH COL
Sun 4/5/26 2:36 PM

Freeman was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies due to lower-back tightness.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was scheduled to start in right field and bat second, but he'll instead remain on the bench. Freeman missed the start of the season due to lower-back inflammation, and it's expected to be an injury he contends with throughout the campaign.

DTDSal Frelick
CF/RF MIL
Sun 4/5/26 2:25 PM

Frelick (side) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Frelick exited Saturday's contest and will be sidelined for at least one game. The full extent of the injury to his side isn't clear, but it was reported after Saturday's contest that it's not believed to be an oblique strain. Blake Perkins, Brandon Lockridge and Luis Matos are starting from left to right in the outfield for Sunday's series finale in Kansas City.

Will Smith
C LAD
Sun 4/5/26 2:16 PM

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith started the previous four games behind the plate and will receive Sunday off after going 5-for-17 with a walk and two runs during that stretch. Dalton Rushing will handle the catching for righty Roki Sasaki in the series finale.

Jacob Young
CF WSH
Sun 4/5/26 2:14 PM

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Young finds himself on the bench Sunday after a run of three straight starts, during which he went 3-for-9 with two walks, a steal, an RBI and two runs. Joey Wiemer is shifting to center field and Daylen Lile to left, opening up the DH spot for Jose Tena.

Brady House
3B WSH
Sun 4/5/26 2:12 PM

House is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
House went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's contest and will take a seat Sunday after starting the previous three games. Jorbit Vivas is instead handling the hot corner in the series finale.

DTDBrett Baty
2B/3B NYM
Sun 4/5/26 2:09 PM

Baty was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants for unspecified reasons.
EDGE Analysis
Bat was penciled in to start in right field but will instead move to the bench, presumably due to an injury. Jared Young will take his place in the lineup for Sunday's series finale in San Francisco.
