India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

India started the first 27 games of the campaign for the Reds and will receive his first day off for Sunday's series finale in Oakland. Kevin Newman will take over at the keystone and bat leadoff in his place.

Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Halos.

Turang finds himself on the bench for the third consecutive game, as Los Angeles will send out yet another left-handed started in Jose Suarez. Owen Miller will receive another start at the keystone as the pair appear to be in a strict platoon at the position.

The Pirates acquired Capra from the Blue Jays on Sunday in exchange for catcher Tyler Heineman.

Capra came up short in his bid for an Opening Day roster spot with the Blue Jays and had struggled to a .167/.357/.222 slash line with Triple-A Buffalo to begin the 2023 campaign. He'll offer the Pirates some organizational depth with the ability to play all over the infield and also the corner outfield.

Kim went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run in a 16-11 win against the Giants on Saturday.

In the first-ever MLB regular-season game played in Mexico City, both clubs put up plenty of offense. As such, it's disappointing for Kim's fantasy managers that he was the only Padres batter not to collect a hit in the affair, though the infielder did come through with a walk, a stolen base and a run in the eighth inning. Kim has been running a lot lately, swiping four bags over his past three games. He's reached base six times in 13 plate appearances over that span, collecting three singles and three walks.

Estrada went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Saturday's 16-11 loss against San Diego.

The most improbable stat from Saturday's slugfest is Estrada not scoring a run despite reaching base four times, twice via a double. The middle infielder tallied multiple RBI in a game for the first time this season. Estrada has been phenomenal to start the campaign with a .938 OPS, four home runs and eight stolen bases.

Donovan is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

With tough southpaw Clayton Kershaw starting for the Dodgers, the Cardinals are going with as many righties as possible to start the game. Paul DeJong is starting at shortstop, with Tommy Edman at second base.

Marte is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rockies.

He hit his third homer of the season in the first game of the series in Coors Field but will head to the bench against righty Noah Davis on Saturday. Josh Rojas is manning second base while Emmanuel Rivera starts at the hot corner. Marte has a .311/.347/.556 slash line with two home runs, nine strikeouts and one walk in his last 12 games.

The Giants added Wisely on Saturday as the 27th man for the Mexico Series against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Each team gets an extra bench player for the two-game series in Mexico City. The lefty-hitting utility player is slashing .304/.467/.500 with zero home runs and three steals in 12 games at Triple-A. Wisely is capable of playing both middle-infield positions as well as center field.

Gorman went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

This was just the second time in the last seven games Gorman has failed to record a hit, though he's just 6-for-26 (.231) in that span. He had a 9.0 percent walk rate last year, but it's up to 13.1 percent so far in 2023. He's still striking out at a 29.0 percent clip, but Gorman has a steady .279/.370/.547 slash line with six home runs, 22 RBI, seven runs scored, five doubles and two steals through 100 plate appearances.

McNeil went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-0 loss to Atlanta.

The game was called after five innings due to rain, preventing McNeil from adding to his line. The 31-year-old has been on a tear, batting .405 (17-for-42) over the last 12 games and boosting his slash line on the season to .298/.416/.415 with one homer, two steals, nine RBI and 11 runs in 113 plate appearances.
