Frazier went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Mairners.

Frazier had a productive all-around game while snapping a 1-for-19 skid over his previous seven contests. The second baseman is hitting just .227 on the season with a .673 OPS, but he's maintained regular playing time. He's added eight home runs, seven steals, 33 RBI and 35 runs scored through 263 plate appearances. Frazier's main competition for playing time is still Ramon Urias, who has filled more of a utility role in the infield of late.

Urias is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Urias started the past four games and will take a seat Sunday in Cleveland after going 3-for-13 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs. Owen Miller will move to the hot corner while Andruw Monasterio starts at second base.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

Lopez started the past two games and will hit the bench Sunday after going 1-for-6 with a hit-by-pitch and a run scored. Samad Taylor will man the keystone Sunday for Kansas City.

McNeil (wrist) is starting at second base and batting seventh Sunday against the Phillies.

McNeil was held out of the lineup Saturday due to soreness in his left wrist, but it was apparently a minor issue since he's back in the starting nine a day later. The 31-year-old has a .555 OPS in June and has especially struggled over his past six games, going 2-for-20.

India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

India has gone just 1-for-15 with six strikeouts over the past four games, and he'll take a seat Sunday after making 49 consecutive starts. Matt McLain will shift to second base and Elly De La Cruz to shortstop while Nick Senzel receives a start at the hot corner.

Semien went 3-for-5 in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Yankees.

Semien has hit a quiet stretch of late and entered Saturday's game on a 10-for-67 (.149) run over the previous 15 games. Despite the downturn, he maintains a respectable .276 average and ranks tied for second in MLB in runs (61) and sixth in hits (89).

Gorman (illness) is starting at second base and batting sixth against the Cubs on Sunday in London.

The 23-year-old sat out Saturday's contest due to the illness but will rejoin the starting nine a day later. Gorman has scuffled at the plate over the past few weeks, going 3-for-47 with a 45.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 13 games.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's loss to the Giants.

Marte crushed a hanging slider from Ryan Walker to right field in his first at-bat of the game, giving Arizona an early 1-0 lead. But the second baseman wasn't done, driving home Jake McCarthy with an RBI single in the fifth before coming around to score himself during a four-run inning for the Diamondbacks as they retook the lead. Marte scored three times in the contest and has now homered in three of his five games, collecting nine RBI over that stretch. He's been red-hot at the plate in June, hitting .324 with five home runs, 18 RBI and a whopping 25 runs scored.

Altuve went 3-for-5 with two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Altuve had been slumping coming into the contest, going 1-for-15 over his previous five games. The veteran second baseman struck out just twice in that stretch, however, so he was due to see some hits fall in. Altuve's slashing a modest (by his standards) .263/.351/.424 in his 26 games this season, but he's contributed five thefts and is on pace for just his second campaign of double-digit steals over the past five years.

Arraez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks Saturday in a 4-3 extra-innings win over the Pirates.

Arraez reached three times in the contest, with his lone hit being a two-run shot in the fifth inning that opened the scoring. The talented second baseman has reached safely in eight straight games, batting a scorching .576 (19-for-33) over that span to lift his season average back over .400. Arraez has also knocked two of his three homers during the red-hot stretch, providing a little extra luster to a skill set that is elite in terms of getting on base but doesn't typically include power or speed.
