Rojas will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.

With Andy Pages getting the day off and Tommy Edman filling in as the Dodgers' starting center fielder, Rojas will draw into the lineup for the ninth time in 17 games on the season, covering Edman's usual spot at the keystone. Three of Rojas' starts came during the first three games of the season when Mookie Betts was battling an illness, but Rojas' playing time will likely be more sporadic now that Los Angeles is at full strength in both the infield and outfield.

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

Iglesias will pick up his fifth straight start Sunday, including his fourth in a row at the keystone. He looks set to serve as the Padres' everyday second baseman until Jake Cronenworth (rib) returns from the 10-day injured list.

Arcia is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

For the third time in four games, Arcia will begin the contest in the dugout while Nick Allen gets the start at shortstop and bats eighth. Arcia has gone 4-for-17 with one run scored and one RBI over his last five outings.

De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

De La Cruz put the Reds in front for good in the third inning with his two-out grand slam off Andrew Heaney on a 3-2 pitch. It's the third home run of the year for De La Cruz, his first since he homered twice against the Rangers on March 31. Overall, the shortstop is slashing .237/.286/.441 with 16 RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases through his first 15 games this season.

Adames went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored during Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

Adames recorded his second multi-hit effort of the season after a three-game stretch in which he went 0-for-10. The 29-year-old shortstop singled in the sixth inning and came around to score his third run over his last three games. He later followed up with a double down the left-field line during the ninth. Adames is slashing .196/.270/.250 with three doubles, six RBI, a stolen base and a 6:16 BB:K across 63 plate appearances this season.

The Nationals recalled Nunez from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

Nunez wasn't able to make the Nationals' Opening Day roster despite a strong showing in spring training, but he'll be called up to the big club following the placement of CJ Abrams (hip) on the 10-day injured list. Nunez was slashing .192/.323/.192 with five stolen bases and three RBI across 31 plate appearances in Triple-A before his promotion to the majors.

The Nationals placed Abrams on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right hip flexor strain.

Abrams missed two games earlier in the week due to a right hip issue, and he aggravated the injury while stealing second base against the Marlins on Friday. He was evaluated by Nationals' medical staff Saturday, and it was determined that the severity of the injury warranted his placement on the injured list, though manager Davey Martinez appeared optimistic that Abrams won't need more than the minimum stint on the IL, per Bobby Blanco of MASN Sports. In Abrams' absence, the Nationals could turn to Paul DeJong to slide over from third base to shortstop, which would give Jose Tena and Amed Rosario more opportunities to get some starts at the hot corner. Nasim Nunez was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move, and he could see some reps in the infield due to Abrams' absence.

Arcia is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Arcia went 0-for-4 in Friday's series opener, and he'll begin Saturday's contest in the dugout while Nick Allen gets the start at shortstop. Arcia has started the season slashing .208/.240/.250 with one RBI across 25 plate appearances.

The Cardinals placed Winn on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to lower-back spasms, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn believed he wouldn't need to spend time on the IL after exiting Friday's game early because of his back, but evidently, the Cardinals' front office disagreed. If his injury truly is minor, he should have a good chance to be activated when eligible April 22. Until then, Thomas Saggese will start regularly at shortstop. Winn's move to the injured list opens a roster spot for Nolan Gorman (hamstring), who was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Friday's 8-0 win against Colorado.

Bogaerts scored the game's first run in the fifth inning when he began the frame with a single, stole second base and came around to score on a Jose Iglesias base knock. After batting just .264 (his lowest mark since 2014) during the regular season last year, Bogaerts has gotten off to a strong start in 2025, slashing .306/.397/.388 through 58 plate appearances. He doesn't have a home run yet, but Bogaerts has contributed four doubles and four steals while walking at a 12.5 percent clip.
