Guillorme went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Getting the start at second base and hitting seventh, Guillorme found himself in the right place at the right time all day, crossing the plate on a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch in the seventh inning and an error by Arizona third baseman Sergio Alcantara in the eighth. Guillorme has started to see more action over the last week and has responded, going 5-for-11 with three walks and four runs scored over his last four starts, all of which have come at the keystone. With Robinson Cano struggling and Jeff McNeil splitting his time between second base and left field, Guillorme could accumulate enough plate appearances to have some value in NL-only and deep mixed formats, but his career .259/.356/.324 slash line in the majors highlights his limits as a hitter.

Marte has a 32.2 chase percentage, up nearly five points over his career average, per Baseball Savant.

Marte was given a scheduled day off Sunday, which came at an opportune time for the struggling infielder. He entered the game batting .169 (10-for-59) with a 27.3 percent strikeout rate, well above his career norm. The issues at the plate may be impacting him in other areas. He muffed a couple of balls in the field Saturday -- not the first he's kicked this season -- and Marte is expanding the strike zone as seen by his chase rate. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo made note of Marte's issues but downplayed them to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. "I know it looks awkward and that it's a hotspot right now," Lovullo said. "But, for me, it's really not." Look for Marte back in the lineup Monday when the Diamondbacks begin a series at home against the Dodgers.

Stott remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Stott will stay on the bench for the fifth game in a row and appears to be clearly behind Alec Bohm for playing time at third base. Even with Didi Gregorius (hand) sidelined for the fourth straight game, Stott hasn't been able to crack the lineup at shortstop either, as Johan Camargo has served as Gregorius' primary replacement. If Gregorius avoids the injury list and rejoins the lineup at some point during the upcoming week, the Phillies could send Stott back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to pick up some consistent at-bats.

McNeil is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Arizona, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil started the past three games and will head to the bench with lefty Madison Bumgarner on the mound for the Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old started against a southpaw Opening Day but hasn't been in the lineup versus a lefty since, though Sunday is only the fourth time all season the Mets have faced a left-handed starter.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Marte started the first 15 games of the season but will take a seat Sunday with a .496 OPS and 27.3 percent strikeout rate through 66 plate appearances. Geraldo Perdomo will cover the keystone in his place for the series finale.

Lux is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Lux started the past two contests after missing two games with back tightness, and he'll take a seat Sunday with southpaw Sean Manaea pitching for the Friars. Hanser Alberto will man the keystone in his place.

Reds manager David Bell said India (hamstring) could return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

After landing on the 10-day injured list last Tuesday with the right hamstring strain, India has seemingly made positive progress in his recovery over the past few days. He was able to run the bases Friday, and he had what Bell termed as another "encouraging day" of workouts Saturday, according to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Alejo Lopez will draw the start at second base in Sunday's series finale against the Cardinals and will continue to fill in at the keystone for the duration of India's absence.

Drury is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against St. Louis.

Drury started the past three games with Jake Fraley (knee) unavailable and will take a seat after going 2-for-12 with a walk, an RBI and a strikeout. Colin Moran will be the DH on Sunday while JT Riddle starts at the hot corner.

Estrada went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

Estrada got aboard with a single in the Giants' fifth-inning rally. He then stole second and scored on a Curt Casali single. Estrada has provided a bit of power and speed from the bottom half of the order. He's slashing .255/.293/.400 with two home runs, nine RBI, 12 runs scored and three stolen bases while working as the primary second baseman with Tommy La Stella (Achilles) out. Estrada enters Sunday having gone 4-for-11 in his last three games.

Hoerner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Hoerner has started nine straight games but will receive a day off after posting a .375/.394/.500 slash line during that stretch. Jonathan Villar will shift to shortstop Sunday while Patrick Wisdom starts at the hot corner.
