Contreras (back) may return to the Cardinals' lineup Monday versus the Orioles, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Contreras was once again sidelined for Sunday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks, missing his third straight game with back spasms. Manager Oli Marmol said following the contest that the catcher is doing "better" and that he hopes Contreras will start Monday's series opener in Baltimore. Considering Contreras was able to move around the field and take batting practice Sunday, he appears to be on track for a return to the lineup in the near future.

Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Busch will sit for the third time in five games, with all of his absences coming against left-handed pitching. The Cubs appear to be viewing Busch as a pure platoon player, as he's logged just 25 plate appearances against lefties all season and is slashing just .143/.280/.190 in those matchups. Justin Turner will replace Busch at first base.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Though he'll be on the bench Sunday while the Pirates send southpaw Bailey Falter to the hill, Bauers seems to be the Brewers' preferred option in left field against right-handed pitching over the switch-hitting Isaac Collins. Bauers had started three of the last four matchups with righties, though he went just 1-for-11 with two walks and a stolen base during that stretch.

Steer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Steer is in the midst of a 12-game hit streak, during which he's batting .357 (15-for-42) with five doubles and a homer, but he'll sit Sunday after starting the previous five contests. Connor Joe will take over at first base and bat eighth versus Chicago righty Ben Brown.

Contreras (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Manager Oliver Marmol previously indicated that Contreras was expected to play Sunday, but the 33-year-old will instead sit for a third straight game due to back spasms. Alec Burleson will receive another start at first base for the Cardinals in Contreras' absence. According to John Denton of MLB.com, Contreras seemed to be moving around on the field prior to Sunday's game and was able to take some swings in the batting page, so the Cardinals are still seemingly viewing him as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Baltimore.

Encarnacion-Strand (back) will have his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Encarnacion-Strand kicked off his rehab in the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday and is 2-for-7 with a double, two RBI and a run scored. The Reds' roster has undergone some changes since he was placed on the injured list mid-April. Spencer Steer's early season shoulder issue no longer limits him to DH only, and he's been the primary first baseman, which was Encarnacion-Strand's job when he was added to IL.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Saturday's 6-5 loss to St. Louis.

Naylor tripled in two runs and eventually scored the go-ahead run as part of a rally in the top of the eighth inning, although the Arizona bullpen couldn't make the lead stick. The triple was his first of the season and just his second during a seven-year career in the majors. Naylor is slashing .289/.352/.438 with five home runs, 31 RBI, eight steals and 25 runs across 51 games.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

Turner got on the board with his first home run of the season in the third inning against Cincinnati starter Andrew Abbott. It's been a struggle so far for the veteran infielder in a reserve role, as he's sporting a .588 OPS, which would be Turner's worst since the .229 mark he posted in only nine games back in 2010, his second year in the majors.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a triple and an RBI on Saturday against the Yankees.

Toglia was held out of the lineup for three games spanning Wednesday to Friday to work on his approach at the plate. He returned to the lineup Saturday to drive in Colorado's only run with a triple in the fourth inning. Toglia has been in a season-long slump with few signs of turning it around, as he has gone just 12-for-65 (.184) with three homers, seven RBI and six runs scored across 20 games in May.

Contreras (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

Contreras was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to back spasms, and he'll need at least another day to recover. Alec Burleson will fill in for him at first base and bat fifth.
