Indians' Juan Uribe: Out of lineup Sunday
Juan Uribe is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.It's the third time in four games Uribe will find himself on the bench, with manager Terry Francona choosing to deploy utility man Jose Ramirez at third base more regularly of late. Ramirez figures to see even more usage in the infield once Michael Brantley (shoulder) rejoins the outfield ranks later this season, so it doesn't appear likely that Uribe will have many opportunities to deliver fantasy value over the final two months.

Indians' Juan Uribe: Out of Sunday's lineup
Juan Uribe is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins.For the second time this series, Uribe will give way to Jose Ramirez at third base. Due to his ability to play multiple positions, Ramirez hasn't directly taken away at-bats from Uribe for most of this season, but that could happen with more regularity once Michael Brantley (shoulder) returns from the DL to reclaim his everyday post in left field, perhaps as soon as later this week.

Indians' Juan Uribe: Scratched from lineup with finger discomfort
Juan Uribe was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays due to discomfort in his right index finger.The Cleveland Indians initially gave Uribe the go-ahead to play Sunday after he was forced to exit Saturday's game upon being struck on the hand by a pitch, but he apparently was still experiencing some pain during pre-game activities. While the X-rays on Uribe's finger came back negative, he'll still require a day or two to heal up. Uribe's absence from Sunday's game will allow Jose Ramirez to pick up a start at third base.

Indians' Juan Uribe: In Sunday's lineup
Juan Uribe (hand) will start at third base and bat eighth in the order Sunday against the Blue Jays, Andre Knott of WTAM 1100 reports.Uribe was removed from Saturday's loss in the sixth inning after he was struck on the hand by a pitch with the bases loaded, resulting in Francisco Lindor coming off the bench to take his spot. Fortunately for the veteran, X-rays on his hand came back negative, and his presence in the lineup Sunday suggests Uribe was only removed the day before as a precaution. He should be in line for a full slate of at-bats in the series finale.
