  • Reds' Jonathan India: Hoping to avoid injured list

    India (lower leg) is not expected to require a stint on the injured list, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    India was spotted limping Sunday, but he is considered day-to-day and should avoid any sort of extended absence. India will sit out Sunday for a second straight day, though, and it remains to be seen if he will be ready to return to action for Monday's series opener against the Phillies.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Mariners' Adam Frazier: Receives day off

    Frazier is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Frazier started the past 25 games and will take a seat Sunday while in the midst of a 4-for-29 slump. Dylan Moore will man the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale at Texas.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Swats solo shot

    Lux went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Saturday's 13-3 win over the Royals.

    Lux knocked in the Dodgers' fourth run of the the first inning with a single to right field, and he followed with a 431-foot solo shot to center in the third. The long ball ended a nearly month-long homer drought for the 24-year-old, though he's otherwise been fine with a .297/.384/.459 slash line since July 15. Lux's lack of power (he has just five homers on the campaign) hurts his fantasy value, but he's still worth rostering in most leagues given his .299 batting average and seven stolen bases on the campaign.

  • Nolan Gorman 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Gets day off

    Gorman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, according to John Denton of MLB.com.

    Gorman has faced a southpaw just 19 times all season, so it should come as little surprise that he is sitting Sunday with left-hander Aaron Ashby on the mound for the opponent. Albert Pujols will enter the lineup in Gorman's place.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Heads to bench Sunday

    Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

    Massey has been a regular in the lineup since being called up by Kansas City on Aug. 3, and he'll step out of the starting nine Sunday after producing an .809 OPS with five RBI, three runs and a stolen base across nine games. Nicky Lopez will start at the keystone while Bobby Witt lines up at shortstop in the series finale versus Los Angeles.

  • Andres Gimenez SS | TOR

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Takes seat Sunday

    Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Toronto.

    Gimenez started the past seven games and will receive a day off after hitting .423 with a double, an RBI, four runs and four stolen bases during that stretch. Owen Miller will step in at the keystone Sunday for Cleveland.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Managing sore shoulder

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles due to shoulder soreness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The 28-year-old was on the bench against Baltimore lefty DL Hall on Saturday and will sit again Sunday due to the shoulder issue. It's unclear when the injury first surfaced, but Lowe has recently struggled at the plate, going 1-for-20 with 10 strikeouts over his past five contests. Yu Chang will start at the keystone and bat sixth in the series finale versus the Orioles.

  • Luis Garcia 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sidelined again Sunday

    Garcia (groin) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, according to Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com.

    Garcia has dealt with a couple leg injuries of late, and he will be held out Sunday for a second straight day. Ildemaro Vargas will handle the shortstop duties in Garcia's place.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Absent again Sunday

    India (lower leg) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    India's injury prevented him from playing Saturday, and it will force him to the bench again one day later. Donovan Solano will man the keystone for the Reds on Sunday.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Held out for first time this month

    Kim is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Kim is riding a six-game hitting streak and has doubled in five straight appearances, but he also started the last 21 games, so manager Bob Melvin decided it was time for a day off. Jake Cronenworth will man the shortstop position Sunday for the Padres.
