Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Frazier will sit out for the second time in the past three games as the Mariners will face a left-handed pitcher (Kenny Rosenberg) for the third consecutive contest. Abraham Toro will man the keystone in Sunday's series finale.

Arraez (illness) is starting at second base and batting leadoff Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest while feeling under the weather, but he's apparently feeling better since he's back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Arraez is enjoying a strong June as he has a .396/.458/.528 slash line with two home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs through 14 games.

Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Biggio will head to the bench after going hitless in 10 at-bats while starting each of the past three contests. Until the Blue Jays bring Danny Jansen (finger) back from the 10-day injured list, Biggio, Gabriel Moreno and Raimel Tapia look like they'll have to battle for one spot in Toronto's everyday lineup.

Torres will start at second base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Torres doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at present, but he should continue to pick up a handful of starts per week while manager Aaron Boone rotates off days among the Yankees' regular infielders (Anthony Rizzo, Josh Donaldson, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and DJ LeMahieu). It's Rizzo who takes a seat Sunday to clear room in the lineup for Torres, who gets his third straight start after going 4-for-8 with three doubles, five runs and an RBI in the first two contests of the series in Toronto.

Peguero went 1-for-3 with a walk Saturday against the Giants.

Peguero made his big-league debut after being called up to replace Tucupita Marcano (illness) on the roster. He hit eighth and delivered a single the opposite way in the fourth inning to record his first major-league hit. Peguero is likely to return to Double-A Altoona once Marcano is activated, as his promotion was a result of geographical proximity to Pittsburgh.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Boston, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman will take a seat for the series finale while Brendan Donovan slides in at second base and while Albert Pujols serves as the Cardinals' designated hitter. Gorman started in each of St. Louis' last nine games, going 7-for-34 (.206 average) with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs during that stretch.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said after Saturday's 11-1 win over the Diamondbacks that Arraez was removed in the fifth inning since he was feeling under the weather, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The early exit didn't prevent Arraez from turning in another useful line for fantasy managers, as he delivered a pair of base hits, a single and two runs across his three plate appearances. The Twins will check back in with Arraez early Sunday before deciding if he'll be part of the lineup for the series finale in Arizona.

Marte has a Grade 1 left lateral hamstring strain and is considered day-to-day, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

He has been sidelined since Wednesday and was hitting .306/.390/.500 with one home run over his last 10 games. The team will see how Marte progresses over the next day or two before deciding if a roster move needs to be made.

Marte (hamstring) isn't starting Saturday against Minnesota.

Marte is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after exiting Wednesday's game against the Reds due to hamstring tightness. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Buddy Kennedy will start at the keystone and bat sixth.

Peguero is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Saturday's game against the Giants.

Peguero was called up by the Pirates on Friday, and he'll make his major-league debut as Saturday's starting shortstop. Over 54 games at Double-A Altoona to begin the year, the 21-year-old slashed .292/.315/.469 with five home runs, 33 RBI, 28 runs and 14 steals.
