Miranda went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 5-1 victory over the White Sox.

Miranda tallied two hits Sunday, including a two-run double in the top of the ninth inning to increase Minnesota's lead to four. The multi-hit effort was his second in his last three games, a welcome sight as he is hitting .218 over his last 15 games with only three extra-base hits, all doubles. He will look to regain his power stroke that he showed in July, when he slugged .603.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With starts at third base in six of the previous seven contests, Peterson appears to have at least temporarily supplanted Luis Urias as the preferred option at the position. However, after striking out three times in Saturday's 8-6 win, Peterson will cede the hot corner to Urias in the series finale.

Longoria is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The righty-hitting Longoria will be on the bench for the second straight game, even with the Giants facing a southpaw (Ranger Suarez) in the series finale. Given that the Giants enter Sunday's contest with a 63-68 record in addition to the fact that Longoria has been on the injured list multiple times in 2022, it's possible the 36-year-old moves into more of a part-time role in the final month of the season.

Toro remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Toro had started in all three games of the Mariners' recent series with the Tigers, but he has yet to appear in the first two contests in Cleveland and will remain on the bench for the series finale. With Adam Frazier settling back into an everyday role at second base now that Seattle is at full strength in the outfield, Toro is expected to see light usage as a utility man moving forward.

Madrigal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in St. Louis.

Madrigal will get a breather for the series finale while Zach McKinstry gets at turn at second base and as the Cubs' leadoff man. Over his past six games, Madrigal went 8-for-25 at the plate, but he produced no home runs, runs, RBI or steals during that stretch.

Bregman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman will step out of the lineup for the first time since Aug. 1, and he was on fire at the plate during that 29-game stretch with a 1.079 OPS, seven home runs, nine doubles, 23 RBI, 28 runs and a 18:13 BB:K. David Hensley will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh Sunday for Houston.

Kreidler will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Royals.

After going 2-for-5 with two walks, two runs and an RBI while starting both of the past two games at third base, Kreidler will replace Willi Castro at the keystone in the series finale. The Tigers are expected to get primary second baseman Jonathan Schoop (ankle) from the injured list during the upcoming week, but so long as Kreidler keeps producing at the plate, expect manager A.J. Hinch to find room in the lineup for the rookie somewhere.

Bride is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Bride is sitting against a right-handed pitcher (Spenser Watkins) for the third time in four games and appears to have lost hold of the everyday role at second base. Tony Kemp will take over at second base in Bride's stead, opening up a spot in the corner outfield for recent Triple-A Las Vegas call-up Cody Thomas, who looks to be the main beneficiary of Bride's role being decreased.

Newman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Newman looks to be moving into more of a part-time role as the season winds down, as he'll take a seat for the third time in six games despite not having dealt with an injury during that stretch. Tucupita Marcano will fill in at the keystone Sunday, but Rodolfo Castro may end up being the Pirates' primary option at the position once third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes shakes off his shoulder injury.

Hayes (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Hayes will be relegated to the bench for the second game in a row while he contends with left shoulder discomfort. Rodolfo Castro will pick up another start at third base in place of Hayes, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener with the Mets.
