  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Nationals' Amed Rosario: Getting another start at third

    Rosario will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    He'll man the hot corner for the second day in a row after going 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 7-6 loss. With Rosario now entering the lineup on consecutive days against right-handed starting pitchers, he appears to be the Nationals' preferred option at third base over Jose Tena, while Paul DeJong shifts over to shortstop in the absence of CJ Abrams (hip).

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Idle against lefty

    Stott is not in the Phillies' starting lineup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

    With St. Louis sending southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the mound, Stott will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Edmundo Sosa starts at second base and bats seventh. Stott is slashing .250/.321/.375 with one stolen base, five runs, one home run and six RBI in 53 plate appearances to start the season.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Sitting Sunday

    Fitzgerald is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Yankees on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Fitzgerald will begin Sunday's game in the dugout while Christian Koss starts at the keystone and bats ninth against Yankees southpaw Carlos Rodon. Fitzgerald is slashing .237/.293/.289 with four stolen bases, four runs scored and one RBI across 43 plate appearances this season.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Saggese is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup against the Phillies on Sunday.

    Saggese will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout, with Brendan Donovan shifting over to shortstop and Nolan Gorman getting the start at second base. Saggese is expected to see more regular work at shortstop while Masyn Winn (back) is on the 10-day injured list. Saggese has gone 8-for-17 with one home run and four RBI since his promotion.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Set to be promoted to majors

    The Rockies are set to recall Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Sunday's game against the Padres, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    The Rockies have already promoted top prospects Chase Dollander and Zac Veen in the early going this season and are once again dipping into their prospect pool as the team searches for offense. Through 49 plate appearances at Triple-A, Amador is slashing .275/.408/.450 with two home runs, four RBI, nine runs and three stolen bases. Amador figures to slot in at second base for the Rockies once his promotion becomes official. Amador saw action in 10 regular-season games for the Rockies last season but hit just .171 across 36 plate appearances.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Scratched from Saturday's lineup

    Freeman was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Padres due to an oblique injury, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Freeman was initially slated to start in center field, but he tweaked his oblique in the batting cage and will not be in the lineup for Saturday's contest. Mickey Moniak will start in center field and bat seventh against Padres southpaw Kyle Hart.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Resting Saturday

    Frazier is not in Pittsburgh's starting lineup against Cincinnati on Saturday.

    With the Reds sending southpaw Andrew Abbott to the mound, the lefty-hitting Frazier will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout while Enmanuel Valdez starts at second base and bats eighth. Frazier has started the season slashing .171/.222/.244 with one home run and six RBI across 45 plate appearances.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Set for regular work at shortstop

    Saggese is slated to receive regular playing time at shortstop while Masyn Winn (back) is sidelined, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Winn was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with lower-back spasms and Saggese drew the first start at shortstop in that day's matinee against the Phillies. Indications are that Winn will not require an extended absence, but while he is out Saggese should receive the bulk of the reps at shortstop, with utility player Brendan Donovan also in the mix.

  • Tim Tawa 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Sitting again Saturday

    Tawa is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup against the Brewers on Saturday.

    For the second game in a row, Tawa will not be in Arizona's starting nine as Garrett Hampson gets the start at the keystone and bats ninth. Tawa has appeared in four games this season and has gone 2-for-11 with one walk, one run scored and three RBI.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Reinstated from injured list

    The Cardinals reinstated Gorman (hamstring) from the injured list Saturday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    A strained right hamstring has kept Gorman out of action since the beginning of April. The Cardinals likely would have preferred to send the 24-year-old out on a rehab assignment before activating him, but Masyn Winn's (back) move to the IL on Saturday created an urgent need for infield depth on the big-league roster. Gorman's easiest path to playing time is likely at second base or designated hitter, though he isn't expected to have a regular role at either position.
