Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Hernandez has handled his usual heavy part-time role this season, starting 11 of the team's first 17 games. He's managed a modest .688 OPS through 52 plate appearances, however, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see his opportunities dwindle slightly going forward. Max Muncy will slide to second base Monday, with Edwin Rios starting at first.

Urias will bat seventh and play second base in his season debut Monday against Minnesota.

It will take more than one game to figure out just how frequently Urias will be in the lineup for his new team, but the fact that he's starting immediately upon being activated from the COVID-19 injured list is undoubtedly a good sign. He'll push regular second baseman Keston Hiura to the designated hitter spot, an arrangement the Brewers could potentially use quite frequently until Ryan Braun (finger) returns from the injured list.

Urias (illness) was activated from the injured list Monday.

Urias is finally ready for his Brewers debut after a positive COVID-19 test wiped out his entire summer camp and sent him to the injured list to open the season. While the 23-year-old likely has more talent than any Brewers infielder not named Keston Hiura, there's no guarantee he handles a heavy workload right away. Despite his prospect pedigree, he failed to distinguish himself in 83 games for the Padres over the last two seasons, hitting .221/.318/.331 with just six homers and one steal.

Gimenez went 3-for-3 with a double, three runs and one stolen base in Sunday's win against the Marlins.

Gimenez has now started five of the last six games while helping to fill in for Robinson Cano (groin), but Sunday's performance was his most productive of his young major-league career as he scored three of the Mets' four runs. The 21-year-old is hitting .333 with two extra-base hits, five runs and three stolen bases over 14 games this season.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dubon cracked the lineup in each of the team's last three games, but since the Giants faced left-handed starters in all of those contests, the 26-year-old looks to be stuck in a short-side platoon role. As one of the younger players on the 30-man roster, Dubon should see his playing time increase as the season wears on, assuming the 7-9 Giants fade from the playoff picture.

Guillorme is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Guillorme has made one start in the Mets' first 16 games and doesn't look set to benefit from Robinson Cano's (groin) recent move to the injured list. Instead, youngster Andres Gimenez looks in line to see the bulk of the action at the keystone while Cano is sidelined.

Gimenez will start at second base and bat eighth Sunday against the Marlins.

He'll enter the starting nine for the fifth time in six games, with his last two turns coming at the keystone. Based on his uptick in usage of late, the 21-year-old looks like set to serve as the primary replacement for Robinson Cano (groin), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Gimenez possesses good speed and decent contact skills, but his lack of power and low placement in the Mets lineup limit his overall fantasy upside.

Forsythe is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Forsythe has started four of six games and is 3-for-13 with a home run since joining the Marlins, but he'll head to the bench Sunday. The veteran infielder has already seen time at first base, second base and designated hitter with Miami still missing much of their Opening Day roster.

Forsythe went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Mets.

Forsythe has been a regular in the Marlins' lineup since they resumed play, filling in at first base, second base and DH in the last three days. He will continue to help out around the diamond while batting near the bottom of the order with a large portion of the team's Opening Day roster currently unavailable.

Frazier went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 17-13 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

His second homer of the season couldn't have been more timely -- with the Bucs down to their final strike, Frazier slammed a fastball from Tigers closer Joe Jimenez over the wall deep in right-center field to tie the score. This was Frazier's first multi-hit performance of the season, however, and through 13 games he's slashing just .170/.241/.302.
