Garcia (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Rockies.

Garcia will miss at least one more game after being pulled from Friday's contest with tightness in his hamstring. Ildemaro Vargas will get the start at second base and hit eighth against Ryan Feltner and the Colorado pitching staff for Sunday's series finale.

Marte is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers.

Marte will receive a day of rest against the Dodgers on Sunday after going 3-for-5 with a homer and three runs scored in Saturday's victory for the Diamondbacks. Geraldo Perdomo will get the start at second base and hit eighth for the series finale.

Hoerner went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Rangers.

Hoerner has been a solid leadoff man for the Cubs with a .333 batting average and three stolen bases through seven games. The new MLB rules that encourage base stealing seem to be benefitting the shortstop, and he could surpass last year's career-best total of 20 steals fairly quickly at this rate. That gives Hoerner plenty of fantasy value, though he's still seeking his first home run of the season.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With a tough southpaw in Nestor Cortes taking the hill for the Yankees in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Frazier will bow out of the starting nine. Ramon Urias will step in for Frazier at second base.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

The shortstop did his job from the two-hole for the Guardians, but the rest of the team's one through five hitters went a combined 2-for-16 around him, giving Rosario few opportunities to turn his hits into run production. Rosario's double was his first extra-base hit of the year, and he's batting .244 (10-for-41) through nine games with three runs, three RBI and two steals.

Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-5 win against Toronto.

Rengifo has gotten off to a slow start this season, batting .167 through his first 31 plate appearances. However, he's at least shown good plate discipline with a 6:3 BB:K, and he notched both his first long ball and his first theft Saturday. Rengifo has started all but one of the Angels' eight contests thus far, so he appears to have an everyday role despite the team's crowded infield this season.

Marte went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and three total runs in Saturday's 12-8 win over the Dodgers.

Los Angeles took a four-run lead after the first half-inning, but Arizona began to claw back in the bottom of the frame when Marte scored following a one-out double. The Diamondbacks then claimed the lead in the second when Marte's two-run shot made it 5-4. The second baseman's big game raised his season slash line to .243/.263/.459, and he's now gotten at least one hit in six straight games.

Lowe went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, three walks and four runs scored in Saturday's win over Oakland.

Lowe extended the Rays' lead to 9-0 with a three-run blast to center that scored Francisco Mejia and Yandy Diaz in the sixth. With the long ball, Lowe delivered his first homer and first three RBI of the campaign.

Drury is out of the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Drury will take a seat against Jose Berrios on the day Anthony Rendon returns from his four-game suspension. The infielder has struggled over six games with the Angels to begin 2023 with a .410 OPS, no home runs and a 0:7 BB:K over 25 plate appearances.

Donovan is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

The Cardinals are going righty-heavy against southpaw Eric Lauer, so Donovan will begin this one on the bench. Taylor Motter gets the start at second base and will hit seventh.
