Chavis went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Royals.

Getting the start at third base and hitting seventh, Chavis delivered his first multi-hit performance of the season and drove in his second run. The 27-year-old has seen little action off the Nationals' bench this season, but over 15 appearances he's batting .290 (9-for-31) while mainly getting used against left-handed pitching.

Miller (forearm) underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Miller exited Sunday's game against the Giants with a bruised right forearm, and further testing didn't reveal any structural damage. He's considered day-to-day for now, and manager Craig Counsell hopes Miller will be able to return to action for Tuesday's series opener in Toronto.

Miller was removed ahead of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Giants with a bruised right forearm, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. He went 2-for-2 with two runs and two RBI prior to departing.

The Brewers are describing Miller's removal as precautionary after he was able to take his base upon being hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning, then proceeded to play an inning in the field before exiting the contest. After submitting another two-hit effort prior to being lifted from the contest, Miller is now slashing an impressive .330/.371/.513 on the season. With the Brewers off Monday, Miller will get an extra day to recover before the team returns to action Tuesday in Toronto.

Trejo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Trejo started at second base in each of the last three games and went 5-for-10 with three doubles, a walk, two RBI, a run and a stolen base, but he still looks as though he'll be limited to a utility infield role. Harold Castro is back at his normal spot at the keystone Sunday after previously starting in the outfield during the past two contests.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies due to groin tightness, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil picked up the injury at some point during the Mets' 10-7 loss Saturday, when he went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs while playing all eight innings in the field. Eduardo Escobar will step in at second base Sunday in place of McNeil, who will get at least two full days of rest before the Mets return to action Tuesday versus the Phillies following Monday's team off day.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

McNeil will get his first game off of the 2023 season after appearing in the first 53 contests. Eduardo Escobar will give McNeil a day of rest while playing second base and hitting ninth against Austin Gomber and Colorado.

Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Brewers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

For the sixth time in seven games, Wisely will be manning second base, and he looks like he'll have some leash as the Giants' main option at the position after Thairo Estrada (wrist) was moved to the injured list Saturday. The lefty-hitting Wisely could find himself on the bench against select southpaws, though he appears poised to remain at least a strong-side platoon player while Estrada is on the shelf.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Marte gave the Diamondbacks an early lead with a first-inning blast. It was the seventh home run for Marte, who has produced regularly this month. The second baseman is 28-for-92 (.304) with 11 walks, four home runs, two triples, one double, three steals and 12 runs scored over 23 May games.

Donovan went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks, two total runs and a stolen base in a 2-1 extra-inning win against Cleveland on Saturday.

St. Louis managed only two hits in the contest, with one of them being Donovan's solo homer in the second inning. The utility man used his legs to notch the team's only other run, swiping third base as the automatic runner in the 10th and coming home to score on a passed ball. Donovan has reached base safely in seven straight games, batting .368 (7-for-19) with two homers, seven runs, two RBI, seven walks and two thefts over that span.

India went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

India had gone 17 games without a homer, hitting just .239 (16-for-67) in that span. This was also his second game with multiple RBI in May, and just his fourth such effort this season, though he's spent a large chunk of it as the leadoff hitter. The big effort has India up to a .291/.376/.439 slash line with five homers, 24 RBI, 42 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 52 contests. Hitting in the No. 3 hole versus right-handers should offer the second baseman more chances to produce RBI.
