Guillorme (oblique) could come off the 10-day injured list when he's first eligible, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Guillorme was placed on the injured list due to a right oblique strain Friday, but he's progressing well early in his recovery process and appears to be in line for a short absence. Guillorme is eligible to be activated as soon as May 11, when the Mets are scheduled to take on the Orioles at home.

Kemp is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Kemp had started in each of Oakland's last four games, going 3-for-12 with a double, two walks and a stolen base. He had benefited indirectly from Matt Olson (eye) missing three of those games, but Kemp will likely find himself on the bench on a more regular basis with Olson checking back into the lineup for Sunday's series finale.

Hernandez (undisclosed) will start at second base and bat leadoff Sunday against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

After colliding with the outfield wall in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Texas, Hernandez was held out of the lineup for the last two games while he was less than 100 percent healthy. The time off appears to have allowed Hernandez to recover, as he'll check back into the starting nine for the series finale. Hernandez will continue to serve as Boston's leadoff man, but his .269 on-base percentage on the season likely makes his hold on the table-setting role a tenuous one.

Polanco is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Luis Arraez will fill in at second base for Polanco, who is sitting out for only the second time all season. Over 101 plate appearances, Polanco has managed a weak .209/.267/.286 slash line. More days off could be in his future if he's unable to catch fire at the plate sooner or later.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Astros on Saturday.

While his season slash remains an unsightly .196/.308/.370, Lowe is starting to finally show signs of life with the bat in recent games. Factoring in Saturday's production, the 26-year-old is hitting .375 (6-for-16) with a double, a solo home run, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and three runs over his last five games while posting a modest 16.7 percent strikeout rate over that stretch.

India (undisclosed) was activated from the injured list Sunday.

The 24-year-old was placed on the injured list Friday with no official designation, and his quick return indicates he was on the COVID-19 IL for the health and safety protocols. India cleared said protocols and is rejoining the team for Sunday's series finale, though he'll remain out of the lineup with Nick Senzel working at second base.

Castro is starting at second base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Willi Castro heads to the bench Sunday, with Niko Goodrum getting the start at shortstop and Harold Castro entering the lineup at second. The latter is slashing .226/.314/.226 through 16 games, which is well below the .347/.407/.429 line he posted across 22 games last season.

Hoerner went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Reds.

All Hoerner has done is hit since getting called up, as he's now slashing a cool .375/.487/.531 through 10 games. His performance is forcing the Cubs to keep him in the lineup, so he should be the primary second baseman, at least until he cools off at the plate. David Bote figures to occupy more of a utility role and Eric Sogard will work as a reserve as well, and both players will have limited fantasy appeal as long as Hoerner is playing regularly.

Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Torres will retreat to the bench for the second time this season, just as he's starting to settle into a groove at the plate. He's currently in the midst of a five-game hitting streak during which he's collected three doubles, but Torres remains without a home run on the season. Gio Urshela will shift over from third base to spell Torres at shortstop in the series finale with Detroit.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Padres.

Dubon put the Giants on the board in the fifth inning with a solo shot to left field off Blake Snell. The homer was Dubon's first of the campaign and accounted for his seventh RBI. He is slashing a meager .192/.232/.308 overall this season but has picked it up of late, batting .333 (7-for-21) with six RBI over his past seven games.
