Garcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer run in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Guardians.

Garcia cut Washington's deficit to 6-5 in the seventh inning, launching a 430-foot two-run shot off the left-handed Tim Herrin. The 22-year-old Garcia has been hot since returning from a hamstring injury, going 5-for-11 with two home runs in his last three games. He's now slashing .286/.316/.486 through 35 at-bats to start the year.

Bae is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Bae started the past five games and will step out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale after he went 3-for-18 with a home run, three RBI, two stolen bases and six strikeouts during that stretch. Tucupita Marcano will take over at the keystone and bat eighth.

Arraez (finger) is hitting third and playing second base Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Arraez made an appearance as a pinch hitter during Saturday's game against Arizona, and the 2022 batting champion is feeling well enough for defensive duties against Zac Gallen and the D-Backs. He's off to a sensational start with a .511 average and six RBI over the first two weeks of the campaign.

Marte is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Marte takes a seat after going 1-for-7 over the first two games of the series. Geraldo Perdomo will handle second-base duties and hit second in his absence.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to Pittsburgh.

Donovan was effective at the top of the lineup for St. Louis. The steals were his first two of the season in a game where the Cardinals swiped four bags against catcher Jason Delay and the Pittsburgh pitching staff. Donovan now owns a four-game hitting streak while hitting safely in five of his last six contests, and he also didn't strike out for the first time since April 10.

Arraez is again out of the Marlins' lineup Saturday due to discomfort in his left index finger, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Arraez also sat out Friday with what is being called a day-to-day issue with his left index finger. Garrett Hampson will get another start at second base and bat ninth Saturday against the Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson.

Miller went 2-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's victory over the Padres.

Miller started Friday for just the fourth time in 14 games, but he capitalized on the opportunity, recording both his first multi-hit game and steal since joining the Brewers over the offseason. Miller primarily played first base last season with the Guardians, but with a couple veterans occupying that spot in Milwaukee, all four of his starts this year have come at second base.

Guillorme went 2-for-3 with three walks, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the A's.

Getting the start at second base and hitting eighth, Guillorme was one of four Mets to reach base at least four times on a night when the team scored 17 runs on 11 hits and a stunning 17 walks. The utility infielder has seen action in nine games so far this season, batting .273 (6-for-22) with one RBI and four runs, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit or first steal.

Garcia went 2-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Guardians.

His fourth-inning long ball off Cal Quantrill was Garcia's first of the season. The 22-year-old just returned from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and he'll look to build some momentum at the plate after batting .226 (7-for-31) through his first nine games this season.

Rojas started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to Miami.

Rojas was in the starting lineup for the second time this season against a lefty (Trevor Rogers). Kyle Lewis (illness) opened the season as the DH against southpaws, but he remains out, so manager Torey Lovullo opted for Rojas, who entered the contest with a .412 average and 1.006 OPS.
