Gimenez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Athletics.

Gimenez is hitting .333/.412/.633 with two home runs and zero steals in nine games this month. Owen Miller will start at second base while Ernie Clement starts at third base and Jose Ramirez slots in at designated hitter.

Kemp went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's victory over the Guardians.

Kemp scored early on a Christian Bethancourt single, then found his way home later on a Seth Brown homer. Kemp also accounted for an RBI thanks to a throwing error in the seventh inning. The second baseman has struggled to get things going in June as Saturday's game was his first multi-hit game this month and just his fifth game this month with a hit.

Mathias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Mathias helped spark a rally from an 8-1 deficit in the seventh inning when he took Patrick Corbin deep, but the Brewers ran out of time to tie things up. The 27-year-old has been extremely productive for Triple-A Nashville this season, slashing .325/.426/.526 through 34 games, but Saturday's homer and steal were his first for Milwaukee in three games as he's bounced on and off the roster. With Kolten Wong (calf) on the shelf, however, Mathias might get a chance to carve out a regular role in the majors in the short term.

Stott went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's victory over Arizona.

Stott launched a two-run blast in the second inning that scored Matt Vierling, adding to the Phillies' early lead. The young shortstop struggled in April and May, but he has been on fire in June with hits in six of nine games. Stott also has four home runs this month to go with a .333 June batting average.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a double, two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over the White Sox.

Semien set the table expertly in this one. He doubled to lead off the game, walked and scored as part of a four-run rally in the fifth, walked again in the eighth and hit a two-run single as part of a four-run 10th inning. His .639 OPS on the season remains poor, but it's a far cry from the .432 OPS he owned as recently as May 17.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rays.

Arraez's line looks like that of a typical first baseman, rather than the elite-contact, minimal-power archetype that he actually fits into. He even struck out once, something he'd done in just one of his previous eight games. His third-inning grand slam off Shane Baz means he now has two homers in his last three games, though he still has a total of just three on the year.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

Albies punctuated Atlanta's eight-run seventh inning with a grand slam to produce the final score. He's hit safely in seven straight games with two homers and 11 RBI in that span, though he hasn't record a multi-hit effort during the streak. For the season, he's posted a .249/.289/.414 slash line with eight long balls, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored, three stolen bases and 15 doubles through 60 contests.

Rengifo returned from the paternity list Saturday and will bat eighth and play second base against the Mets, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Rengifo was away from the team for the last three days for the birth of his child. He'd been in a slump immediately prior to his absence, going 1-for-20 at the plate over his last six games, so the Angels will hope the time off allowed him to reset and clear his head.

Mathias was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Mathias appeared in a couple games for the Brewers in late May before heading back to Nashville, but he was brought back Saturday to take the roster spot of Kolten Wong (calf), who landed on the injured list. Mathias will provide infield depth for the Brewers until Wong is ready to return.

Marte is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Marte does not sit much, but he will get a breather after snapping a three-game multi-hit streak Friday. Jake Hager will cover the keystone Saturday in Marte's place.
