Frazier is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's finale against the Tigers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The lefty-hitting Frazier will take a seat against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez for the series finale. Ramon Urias will replace Frazier at second base and bat cleanup.

Arroyo went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Brewers.

Arroyo had not started a game since April 17 due to a hamstring injury, although he did make an appearance Friday. He singled in the fifth inning and came around to score on Yu Chang's home run. He was later pinch hit for by Raimel Tapia against right-handed reliever Peter Strzelecki.

Jackson has gone 1-for-7 with a double, a walk and two RBI in two games since Double-A Rocket City reinstated him from the temporary inactive list Tuesday.

Jackson was out of commission for about two weeks while he was on the inactive list, but the missed time shouldn't hinder his development in any significant way.

Rosario is not in the starting lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the Marlins on Saturday.

Rosario will sit out the second game of the twin bill against the Marlins after going 1-for-4 with a run scored in the 6-1 loss to Miami. Gabriel Arias will be the starting shortstop and hit seventh for the second contest.

Espinal was diagnosed with a right wrist contusion after getting hit by a pitch Saturday against the Yankees and is undergoing further evaluation.

The Gerrit Cole fastball forced Espinal to exit the game, and depending on the results of the tests, it could force him to miss some time. Cavan Biggio would be in line for an expanded role if that happens.

Haggerty was reinstated off the 7-day concussion injured list by the Mariners on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Haggerty returns, as expected, from the injured list for Saturday's game against the Cardinals after missing a week from a hard fall sustained against the Rockies last Saturday. He'll return to a utility role with Seattle with Cooper Hummel heading to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Lopez will sit Saturday against the Angels.

Lopez sits for the second time in three games, a stretch which followed a run of six straight starts. With a .175/.313/.300 slash line on the season, he's not making a great case for everyday at-bats. Hunter Dozier, proud owner of an even worse .146/.167/.220 slash line, will take over at the hot corner.

Kemp will be on the bench Saturday against the Rangers.

Kemp started against the first two lefties the Athletics faced this season, but his off day here against Andrew Heaney means he's now sat against four straight southpaws. Jordan Diaz will start at second base.

Arroyo (hamstring) will bat seventh and play second base Saturday against Milwaukee.

Arroyo had been out of the lineup since Monday while dealing with hamstring tightness, though he did record a pinch hit double Thursday against the Twins. He's good to go now and will be looking to improve his .176/.208/.235 season slash line.

Diaz entered Friday's win over the Rangers as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth and hit a go-ahead solo home run.

The rookie was called on to hit for Ryan Noda and delivered handsomely with a 382-foot solo home run to left field off Will Smith, snapping a 4-4 tie. Diaz's first big-league stint of 2023 has gotten off to quite an auspicious start -- in addition to Friday's clutch blast, he also laced an RBI double in his season debut Wednesday against the Cubs.
