Gorman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

The lefty-hitting Gorman will avoid Nationals southpaw DJ Herz on Sunday. Brendan Donovan will start at second base and bat sixth.

Brujan is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Milwaukee.

Brujan will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 0-for-2 with two walks and one run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Brewers. Nick Gordon will start in center field and bat eighth.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Cubs.

Frazier is slashing just .146/.205/.220 with one home run, five RBI and a 22.2 percent strikeout rate across 43 plate appearances in July. Salvador Perez will serve as the designated hitter Sunday and bat in the cleanup spot against Cubs right-hander Javier Assad.

Stott is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Guardians.

With left-hander Joey Cantillo taking the mound for Cleveland on Sunday, Stott will begin the contest in the dugout. Edmundo Sosa will start at second base and bat seventh.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

Marte kept his hot streak going Saturday, drawing a walk in his first trip to the plate before coming around to score Arizona's first run of the contest on a Christian Walker single. The second baseman then came right back with a two-run shot on the first pitch he saw in the second, giving him his fourth home run in his last five games. Over that stretch he's batting .444 (8-for-18) with 11 RBI and seven runs scored. Saturday also marked his fifth game this month in which he's driven in multiple runs.

Polanco went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Polanco hit solo shots in the fourth and fifth innings before tacking on an RBI single in the eighth. Hitting in Chicago has agreed with the second baseman -- he has three long balls over two games versus the White Sox, giving him nine on the year. He's added a .209/.293/.340 slash line, 24 RBI, 24 runs scored, two stolen bases and five doubles over 273 plate appearances.

Gonzales was removed from Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks due to left groin discomfort.

Gonzales went 0-for-3 at the plate before being replaced at second base by Jared Triolo in the bottom of the sixth. Gonzales is currently being evaluated and an update on his status should come later Saturday night or Sunday.

Keith went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple and three RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Keith was retired in his first two at-bats Saturday, but then he tripled and homered in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively. Seven of his 11 home runs this season have come in the month of July, as he's found a home at the top of the Tigers' lineup. Keith is hitting .347 in July and has raised his slash line to .259/.317/.411 this season.

Gelof is absent from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Gelof will get his first day off since June 26, yielding to Abraham Toro at second base. Gelof has logged a .613 OPS and a 35.0 percent strikeout rate in 340 plate appearances this season.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Lopez started eight consecutive games after being activated from the injured list July 19, but he will get a breather Saturday. In his place, Vidal Brujan will bat eighth and play second base.
