Estrada will be re-evaluated Monday after being hit by a pitch on his wrist during Sunday's loss to the Mets, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Estrada was hit by a pitch in the top of the eighth inning but remained in the game down the stretch. The extent of his injury isn't yet clear, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Mariners.

Castro went 3-for-3 with two runs scored in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Tigers.

Castro had gone 12 games without a multi-hit effort, batting .250 (7-for-28) with a home run and four RBI in that span. He played well Sunday, twice coming home on sacrifice flies from Brenton Doyle. Castro is batting .281 with a .643 OPS, one home run, 22 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight doubles through 179 plate appearances this season. He's on the strong side of a platoon at second base, sharing the position with Coco Montes.

Gonzales went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss against the Brewers.

Gonzales was responsible for the Pirates' only two runs off Colin Rea with a two-run blast in the second inning. The 2020 first-round pick has gone 6-for-19 (.315) with two homers in his last six games after going 0-for-8 to start his big-league career. Gonzales is now slashing .222/.267/.556 with seven RBI and five runs scored through his first 30 plate appearances after batting .257 with a .820 OPS with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The lefty-hitting Garcia typically plays regularly against both right- and left-handed pitching, but because he had started each of the last 16 games along with the fact that the Phillies are bringing southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill, the Nationals likely viewed Sunday's contest as an optimal time to give the infielder a breather. Michael Chavis will check in for Garcia at the keystone.

Donovan (arm) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Sunday against the Yankees, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatchreports.

The 26-year-old didn't make an appearance during Saturday's doubleheader while contending with right arm soreness, but he'll return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Donovan is coming off a strong June, during which he had a .307/.402/.443 slash line with three doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI and 12 runs in 23 games.

Bae (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

The 24-year-old went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run Saturday before being lifted with an apparent left ankle injury, per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, and he'll now be sidelined through at least the All-Star break. Rodolfo Castro and Tucupita Marcano are likely to be the main beneficiaries of playing time in Bae's absence.

India went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and four RBI in Saturday's loss to the Padres.

India came up to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh and crushed a 430-foot grand slam to center field to bring the Reds back within five runs. The second baseman has been struggling at the plate as of late and came into Saturday's contest hitting just .121 over his last nine games. He's now hit in two straight but hasn't recorded a multi-hit game since June 14 against the Royals.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Marlins.

The second baseman went back-to-back with Ronald Acuna to lead off the game, kicking off yet another early offensive eruption for Atlanta. Albies has been rolling over the last month, and through his last 24 games he's slashing .295/.352/.611 with eight of his 19 homers and five of his six steals on the season to go along with 20 runs and 21 RBI.

Marte batted leadoff and went 1-for-5 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Angels.

The Diamondbacks hadn't seen a left-handed starter in nearly two weeks, and in the previous instance Geraldo Perdomo was elevated to leadoff. It was unclear if Perdomo would handle the role full time, but it appears Marte has retained the spot atop the order against lefties as he'd been doing all season.

Gorman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in an 11-4 win over the Yankees in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.

Gorman padded the lead with a fourth-inning blast in the matinee game. The infielder didn't repeat his success in the nightcap, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Prior to Saturday, he'd gone seven contests without striking out multiple times, but he's now striking out at a 30.2 percent clip. He struggled in June and now owns a .235/.319/.466 slash line with 16 homers, 49 RBI, 31 runs scored and four stolen bases over 73 contests this season.
