Nolan Gorman 2B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Held out of series opener
Gorman (back) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Gorman will miss his second straight contest while tending to back soreness. Brendan Donovan gets the start in the DH slot and is set to bat leadoff in Gorman's absence.

Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Sitting Monday
Gonzales is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Padres, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Gonzales will take a seat after he went 2-for-11 with a double and two runs scored over the team's series in Los Angeles. Tucupita Marcano will take over at second base and bat eighth in the series opener at San Diego.

Jahmai Jones 2B | DET
Brewers' Jahmai Jones: Getting start at DH
Jones is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth in Monday's contest versus the Reds.
The right-handed hitting Jones is getting the call at DH over the left-handed hitting Jesse Winker against Reds righty Graham Ashcraft, who has fared better versus lefties this season. It's only Jones' second start in eight games since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Reds' Jonathan India: Sitting Monday
India is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Brewers.
India will take a seat after he went 2-for-10 with three walks and two strikeouts during the team's three-game series with Arizona. Matt McLain will take over at second base while Christian Encarnacion-Strand enters the lineup after some shuffling and bats seventh in the opener with Milwaukee.

Harold Castro 2B | KC
Rockies' Harold Castro: Joins lineup versus left-hander
Updating a previous report, Castro will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Nationals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The Rockies released a lineup earlier Monday that didn't include Castro, but he'll end up re-entering the starting nine after all. Though he typically gives way to platoon mate Alan Trejo at the keystone when the Rockies oppose lefties like the Nationals' Patrick Corbin, Colorado will make room for both Castro and Trejo by deploying the latter at third base in place of a resting Ryan McMahon.

Brett Wisely 2B | ATL
Giants' Brett Wisely: Sits against southpaw
Wisely is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The lefty-hitting Wisely will see his streak of nine consecutive starts at the keystone come to an end while David Villar mans second base in his stead as the Giants face off against southpaw Tarik Skubal. At least until Brandon Crawford (knee) returns from the injured list, Wisely should have a clear path to everyday playing time versus right-handers, and he was even included in the lineup in Sunday's 6-1 loss against the Nationals and southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

Luis Arraez 2B | SF
Marlins' Luis Arraez: Collects trio of hits
Arraez went 3-for-4 with one double, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's victory over Colorado.
Arraez notched his second consecutive multi-hit effort Sunday, plating Nick Fortes with an RBI double in the sixth and then notching a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th to give Miami the win. Over his last eight appearances, Arraez is batting .371 with seven RBI and two runs scored.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Runs wild in Cleveland
Stott went 0-for-1 with four walks, a run scored and three steals in Sunday's win over the Guardians.
Stott flew around the basepaths Sunday, nabbing a single-game career-high in walks while tying his career-best in stolen bases. Through 93 games, Stott is slashing .304/.348/.436 with nine home runs and 19 steals and is striking out at a 15.6 percent clip.
