David Peralta - Out versus lefty Peralta is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact The lefty-hitting Peralta will get a breather with a southpaw (David Peterson) on the bump for New York. Cooper Hummel will pick up a start in left field in place of Peralta, who is slashing .172/.273/.379 over his first 33 plate appearances of the season.

Sergio Alcántara - On bench Sunday Alcantara is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Alcantara had started three of the past four games at either third base or shortstop, going 1-for-10 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run during that stretch. Yonny Hernandez and Geraldo Perdomo will compose Arizona's left side of the infield Sunday while Alcantara takes a seat.

Seth Beer - Heads to bench Sunday Beer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact With southpaw David Peterson on the hill for New York, the lefty-hitting Beer will take a seat following two straight starts over which he went 4-for-7 with a double and a walk. Carson Kelly will serve as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter in Beer's stead.

Matt Peacock - Called up from taxi squad The Diamondbacks recalled Peacock from their taxi squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Peacock was summoned from Triple-A Reno for the Diamondbacks' trip to New York in case he was needed as an extra relief arm. With Caleb Smith working three innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 10-3 loss and not available for Sunday's series finale with the Mets, Peacock will move up to the 28-man active roster as a replacement for the lefty, who was optioned to Reno. Expect Peacock's opportunities to mostly be limited to long-relief or low-leverage situations while he's with the big club.

Caleb Smith - Sent to minors The Diamondbacks optioned Smith to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Impact After he was tagged for five runs over three innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Mets, Smith was unlikely to be available in relief for another day or two. The Diamondbacks thus elected to swap him off the 28-man active roster in favor of a fresh arm in Matt Peacock, who will be available as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen in Sunday's series finale.

Travis Jankowski - Gets third straight start Jankowski will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Jankowski will enter the starting nine for the third game in a row while the Mets are without Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha, who both remain on the COVID-19 injured list. Assuming one of the two outfielders is able to quickly recover from the virus and return to action during the upcoming week, Jankowski won't be in store for a long-term stay in an everyday role. After going 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 10-3 win, Jankowski went hitless in Saturday's 3-2 loss.
