Torres was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.

Jose Trevino was also scratched from the lineup, so perhaps there is a COVID-19 outbreak or some other illness making its way through the clubhouse. Matt Carpenter enters the lineup at third base with DJ LeMahieu sliding to second base.

Lopez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Lopez will sit for the second time this weekend, and he could continue to lose out on playing time, given that he is 2-for-25 over his last nine games. Carlos Santana slots in at first base with Hunter Dozier moving to the outfield and Whit Merrifield starting at the keystone.

Torres went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in an 8-0 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Torres hit one of six Yankees solo blasts off rookie hurler Matt Swarmer, going deep in the fourth inning. It was Torres' second straight game with with a homer and marked his seventh long ball over his past 15 contests. All of his home runs during that span have been solo shots.

Miller went 1-for-3 with one double and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Athletics.

Miller's sixth-inning RBI double increased Cleveland's lead to 5-2 before Oakland mounted a late comeback. After a scorching start to the season, the infielder has come back down to earth with a .176 batting average in June. Saturday's performance was just his fourth game this month with a hit, bringing his season average to .259.

Estrada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-2 win agains the Dodgers.

Estrada put the Giants on the board against Clayton Kershaw in the second inning with a solo shot to left field. The long ball was his fourth of the season and extended his modest hitting streak to four games. Estrada has gone 1-for-3 in each of those four contests and has collected three RBI over that stretch.

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.
