Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Sitting versus southpaw
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.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Homers again Saturday
Paredes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Angels.
Paredes broke up the Angels' shutout bid with two outs in the eighth inning, launching a Ryan Zeferjahn sweeper into the Crawford boxes. It's the second homer in as many days for Paredes. After starting the year 3-for-23 (.130), the 26-year-old Paredes has gone 12-for-31 (.387) with a 1.038 OPS over his last seven contests.

Gage Workman 3B | DET
Cubs' Gage Workman: Collects MLB firsts in rout
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.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Sent back to Triple-A
The Twins optioned Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
Miranda will head to Triple-A after slashing an abysmal .167/.167/.250 over his 36 plate appearances on the season while offering little value in the field or on the basepaths. The Twins reinstated infielder Brooks Lee (back) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN
Reds' Noelvi Marte: Singles, scores in win
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.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Royals' Jonathan India: Injury considered mild
Royals manager Matt Quatraro described India's quad tightness as "mild" following Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Quatraro said India was eventually removed from the game because it wasn't loosening up throughout the contest. India will presumably undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. India went 0-for-2 at the plate with one walk before being replaced by Drew Waters in the sixth inning.

Ramon Urias 2B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Stuck in part-time role
Urias singled in his lone at-bat Saturday against the Blue Jays.
Urias came off the bench as a pinch hitter for Ryan O'Hearn in the eighth inning and singled on a groundball before being replaced by Jorge Mateo as a pinch runner. While Urias is batting .343 with one double, five RBI and four walks over 39 plate appearances so far this season, he remains likely to struggle for at-bats while Gunnar Henderson, Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday are all healthy in the Orioles' infield.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Royals' Jonathan India: Dealing with quad tightness
India left Saturday's game against Cleveland in the sixth inning due to right quadriceps tightness, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Per Anne Rogers of MLB.com, India looked to be in discomfort in the dugout after running out his groundout in the third inning, but he stayed in the game before being removed in the sixth. India will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Royals' Jonathan India: Exits Saturday's game
India (undisclosed) was removed in the sixth inning of Saturday's game against the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
India went 0-for-2 for a walk before being replaced by Drew Waters in the sixth inning. The reason for India's removal isn't clear, but there should be an update from the team during or shortly after Saturday's contest.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Set to be demoted
The Twins are planning to option Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul following Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Tigers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Miranda has struggled to start the season, slashing .167/.167/.250 with one home run, five RBI and 13 strikeouts across 36 plate appearances. His baserunning blunder in the eighth frame of Saturday's game seemed to be the final straw for the club. Brooks Lee (back) is expected to be activated off the injured list to take Miranda's spot on the 26-man roster.
