Dunn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

With lefty Tarik Skubal on the bump for Detroit, the left-handed-hitting Dunn will give way to platoon mate Vinny Capra at third base. Dunn has logged 28 of his 34 plate appearances against right-handed pitching this season, but he's still slashing an underwhelming .194/.212/.258 while striking out at 23.5 percent clip.

Wade is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Cubs on Monday.

Wade appears to be San Diego's top option at center field with Jackson Merrill (hamstring) and Brandon Lockridge (hamstring) both on the 10-day injured list. Wade will make his first major-league start of the season Monday after filling in as a defensive substitute twice during the weekend series against the Rockies. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 regular-season games for the Padres in 2024, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight stolen bases, 28 runs scored and eight RBI across 155 plate appearances.

Rosario is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

After CJ Abrams (hip) was placed on the injured list Saturday, Rosario picked up starts at third base in both of the Nationals' ensuing two games, with Paul DeJong shifting over to Abrams' spot at shortstop in both contests. DeJong will remain in the lineup Monday, but he'll be back at third base while Nasim Nunez picks up a start at shortstop. Rosario still likely stands to benefit the most from Abrams' absence, as the Nationals will presumably look to find ways to keep the 29-year-old's bat in the lineup while he's produced an .816 OPS through his first 30 plate appearances of the season.

Wagaman went 3-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

The 27-year-old infielder had gone 2-for-20 to begin April before Sunday's big performance. Wagaman has mainly split his time between first base and DH so far with the Marlins, slashing .231/.318/.359 through 44 plate appearances with a homer, three RBI and a 5:4 BB:K.

Candelario started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

Candelario made a second straight start at first base with Christian Encarnacion-Strand unavailable due to back and hamstring injuries. However, Candelario is 1-for-25 over the last seven games.

Marte started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

Marte walked and recorded his first steal of the season in the fifth inning before coming home to score on a force-out. He made a second consecutive start, as Jeimer Candelario was needed at first base with Christian Encarnacion-Strand nursing back and hamstring injuries.

Hayes is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Reds on Sunday.

Hayes will sit after going 0-for-6 with two walks and three strikeouts across his last two outings. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will shift over to third base while Tsung-Che Cheng gets the start at shortstop.

Pauley is not in Miami's starting lineup against Washington on Sunday.

The lefty-hitting Pauley will retreat to the dugout with the Nationals sending southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the mound. Javier Sanoja will start at the hot corner and bat eighth. Pauley has gone 5-for-32 with one walk, two runs scored and two RBI since the beginning of April.

Workman went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 16-0 win over the Dodgers. He also stole a base.

Workman didn't enter the contest until the sixth inning, but he still managed to rattle off two hits, which were his first at the MLB level. The 25-year-old also recorded his first MLB stolen base and RBI. Workman isn't seeing consistent playing time as a utility option for the Cubs, so he's mostly off the fantasy radar for now, but an injury to a Chicago starter could give him an opportunity to better showcase his abilities.

Marte started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a single and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Marte made his first start since being called up earlier this week. He singled in the seventh inning and scored the Reds' final run. It's unclear what Cincinnati manager Terry Francona has planned for Marte in terms of playing time, as there's a crowd at third base with Jeimer Candelario and Gavin Lux also in the mix.
