Amador is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Reds on Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Amador will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Owen Miller starts at the keystone and bats ninth against Reds southpaw Nick Lodolo. Amador went 3-for-4 with a home run, a steal and two RBI in Saturday's loss to Cincinnati, and the 22-year-old is batting .214 over 32 plate appearances to start the season.

Fitzgerald (chest) is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Rangers on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Fitzgerald is dealing with a chest contusion, which caused him to be scratched from Saturday's game against Texas. With the Giants scheduled for a day off Monday, Fitzgerald will head into Tuesday's game against the Padres with a few straight days of rest. Christian Koss will start at second base and bat ninth against Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter (finger) on Sunday.

The Rockies selected Trejo's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Trejo was re-acquired by the Rockies from the Rangers on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations. The 28-year-old infielder will join the 26-man roster ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Reds. He appeared in 28 games for Colorado in 2024, posting a .143/.182/.143 slash line with four runs scored and one RBI in 67 plate appearances.

McLain is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Rockies on Sunday.

McLain will take a seat for Sunday's series finale after going 0-for-18 with nine strikeouts over his last four games. Gavin Lux will start at the keystone and bat fifth against Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner.

McNeil is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Nationals on Sunday.

McNeil will begin Sunday's game in the dugout while Luisangel Acuna starts at second base and bats eighth against Nationals southpaw Mitchell Parker. McNeil returned from a right oblique strain Thursday and has gone 2-for-7 over the first two games of the series.

Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Orioles.

Keith has a .545 OPS through 81 plate appearances this season and finds himself on the bench Sunday for the fourth time in Detroit's past five contests, with three of those games coming against right-handed pitchers. The 23-year-old was expected to operate as the Tigers' primary first baseman this year, but Gleyber Torres' early oblique injury led to more action at second base, and the strong play of Spencer Torkelson and Zach McKinstry has resulted in a reduced role for Keith since Torres' return.

Mauricio (knee) will start a rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Sunday.

Mauricio is in the final stages of his recovery from a procedure in January of 2024 to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. He participated in extended spring training, and he has progressed enough to embark on a rehab assignment in the minors. How Mauricio's knee reacts to increased activity will determine the next steps in his rehab program.

Gorman is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup against the Brewers on Sunday.

With the Brewers sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the mound, the lefty-hitting Gorman will head to the dugout for the start of Sunday's game while Luken Baker serves as the designated hitter and bats fifth. Since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list April 12, Gorman has gone 6-for-37 (.162) with five walks, four runs scored, seven RBI and a 31.8 percent strikeout rate.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored Saturday against the Padres.

Lowe took Dylan Cease yard in the third inning to record his fourth home run of the season and first since April 5. He's had a tough start to the campaign, hitting only .211 with no multi-hit games since April 4. Lowe's strikeout rate has crept up to 29.7 percent, though he has still maintained a 12.1 percent barrel rate.

Marte (hamstring) hit a pair of home runs and played three innings in the field in an extended spring training game Saturday, Kellan Olson of Arizona Sports reports.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo was enthused by Marte's progress in his rehab and hasn't ruled out the second baseman returning for the second series of a two-city road trip next week. The Diamondbacks begin a series Tuesday against the Mets then move on to Philadelphia for the weekend. Alternatively, Marte could remain back in Arizona and rejoin the team for a seven-game homestand beginning May 5. Lovullo kicked around the idea of easing Marte back into the lineup as a designated hitter against lefties only, as the organization is keenly aware of Marte's history of hamstring issues.
