Santana is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Kyle Manzardo will cover first base and David Fry will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter while Santana receives his first day off since June 7. Since clubbing a grand slam in the Guardians' 11-2 win over the Reds on June 11, Santana has gone 4-for-31 with no extra-base hits over his last eight games, though he contributed two stolen bases during that stretch.

Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Encarnacion-Strand got off to a hot start at the plate upon returning from the injured list June 6, but he's gone just 3-for-25 with seven strikeouts over his last seven contests. Now on the bench for the fourth time in the Reds' last five games, Encarnacion-Strand could be in danger of a demotion to Triple-A Louisville during the upcoming week. The Reds announced Sunday that Jeimer Candelario (back) has returned from his rehab assignment, and Encarnacion-Strand would be a logical candidate to get optioned to clear a spot for the veteran.

Noda will start at designated hitter and will bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

After joining the White Sox last weekend shortly after being claimed off waivers from the Red Sox, Noda has handled a regular role for Chicago. He's started seven of the last eight games, but he's gone just 2-for-17 with a solo home run. Expect Noda's playing time to eventually trend downward if he's unable to get anything going at the dish.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, though manager Aaron Boone said the first baseman will "probably" play in all three games of the upcoming series versus Cincinnati, which begins Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Sunday marks the second straight absence for Goldschmidt, and it's also the second time in the last week he's sat consecutive games, though he started the four contests in between. Boone also said that the 37-year-old will "play regularly and all the time, but there'll be those occasions where [he's off] two in a row." Ben Rice will receive another start at first base Sunday and should remain a semi-regular presence in the lineup when the Yankees face right-handed pitching.

Busch went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's win over the Mariners.

Busch deposited a ball into the Wrigley Field bleachers during the third inning. The first baseman is in the midst of a breakout season, slashing .272/.367/.509 with 28 extra-base hits and 44 RBI through 71 games.

Solano went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Cubs.

Solano notched his second consecutive three-hit game Saturday, continuing a scorching run in June. The veteran had struggled mightily before the month, slashing just .173/.212/.200 with two extra-base hits and two RBI over 34 games. Since the start of June, however, he's turned things around dramatically, posting a .440/.481/.600 slash line with two extra-base hits and six RBI in nine games. Though he's been deployed largely as a short-side platoon player at first base this season, Solano started against a right-hander (Cade Horton) on Saturday, and his recent success could allow him to stay in the lineup more frequently versus same-handed pitchers.

Burleson went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's victory over the Reds.

Burleson got the Cardinals on the board with a two-run homer in the first inning, then added an RBI single in the eighth. The 26-year-old extended his hitting streak to nine games, during which he's slashed .410/.415/.718 with six extra-base hits and 10 RBI. On the season, he boasts a .314/.352/.473 line with 19 extra-base hits and 30 RBI across 66 games.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs Saturday in a 7-3 win over the Dodgers.

Lowe homered to left field in the sixth inning and added a second shot to center field in the eighth. This was the first time on the campaign that the first baseman has gone deep multiple times, and Lowe recorded just his second multi-hit effort across his past 12 contests. He's up to 12 home runs and 47 RBI this season, though he's still slashing a modest .227/.295/.395 through 319 plate appearances.

Harper (wrist) progressed to throwing soft toss ahead of Saturday's game against the Mets, MLB.com reports.

Harper continues to gradually ramp up his baseball activity amid his recovery from right wrist inflammation, as his absence has now extended beyond two weeks. There remains no clear timetable for his return to the field, and it's unclear if the Phillies will send him on a brief minor-league rehab assignment or simply reinstate him from the injured list once the superstar first baseman is deemed ready for game action. In the meantime, Alec Bohm and Otto Kemp should continue to split the reps at the cold corner.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.

Guerrero extended the Blue Jays' lead to four runs in the seventh, when he took Aaron Civale deep to left-center field for a solo homer. It was Guerrero's 10th home run of the season, and the All-Star first baseman has recorded at least one RBI in six of his last nine games. Over that span, he has gone 11-for-34 (.324) with one steal, four doubles, two home runs and 10 RBI.
