Arcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Arcia will head to the bench after starting each of the past four games at the keystone while going 7-for-16 with two home runs, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs. Phil Gosselin will get the nod at second base in his 2022 debut with Atlanta, but Arcia looks poised to handle a full-time role at the position while Ozzie Albies (foot) is likely sidelined for at least two months.

Adames went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Saturday in the Brewers' 7-3 win over the Reds.

The 26-year-old has now popped home runs in consecutive games to begin the series in Cincinnati and has six extra-base hits in his 10 contests since returning from the 10-day injured list earlier this month. He'll start at shortstop and bat second in Sunday's series finale.

Chang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Chang will move to the bench after starting in five of the Pirates' last six games. Though the Pirates have typically deployed the righty-hitting Chang against left-handed pitching, he could see an uptick in starts against right-handers following Tucupita Marcano's (illness) recent placement on the COVID-19-related injured list. Hoy Park will fill in for Marcano at the keystone in Sunday's series finale, however.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Guardians.

Turner struck out three times in the contest, but he also produced the game's only long ball with his two-run shot in the second inning. The homer was the shortstop's ninth this season and extended his hitting streak to 11 contests. During that stretch, he's slashing .333/.375/.622 with four home runs, seven RBI, eight runs and three stolen bases.

Castillo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and a sacrifice fly in a 7-5 loss to the Giants on Saturday.

The 24-year-old rookie had a nice four-RBI night at the plate, hitting a sacrifice fly off Alex Wood in the first, and then belting a three-run home run off him in the third. The second baseman had been ice cold in June, hitting only .075 over 40 at-bats. He did hit for a respectable average in the minors last year, and he is projected to hit about 30 to 40 points higher than his current .195 average on the season.

Williams notched a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mets.

Williams ran for Garrett Cooper after the latter's RBI single in the ninth inning. He was able to get into scoring position, but Williams was left on base as the Marlins' rally fell short. The 25-year-old utility man is up to three steals in four attempts while adding four RBI, six runs scored and a pair of doubles in 32 plate appearances between the Marlins and the Giants this season. He has yet to carve out a regular role, instead mainly serving as a defensive replacement.

Berti went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mets.

Berti hit a leadoff single in the first inning before stealing second and third base. He got aboard again in the ninth and added his third steal of the game, which is impressive even by his standards. The 32-year-old has had a green light on the basepaths -- he's notched 14 stolen bases in 16 games in June, and he's yet to be caught this month. The utility man has posted a .283/.382/.398 slash line with 18 steals in 19 tries, two home runs, 11 RBI and 22 runs scored across 131 plate appearances this year.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.

Lindor's third-inning blast off Marlins starter Braxton Garrett gave the Mets just enough of a lead for the win. The shortstop has homered in each of the last two games, though Saturday's blast paled in comparison to the 440-foot moonshot he launched Friday. He's up to 11 homers, 51 RBI, 43 runs scored, eight stolen bases and a .243/.324/.424 slash line through 66 contests this year.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 10-4 win over the Marlins.

The shortstop took Pablo Lopez deep in the first inning for a three-run shot, setting the tone for the evening, and the 440-foot blast to straightaway center field was Lindor's longest yet as a Met. His numbers in June have been sluggish, as Lindor is slashing only .182/.246/.309 through 14 games on the month, but he's up to 10 homers, eight steals, 42 runs and 49 RBI on the season.

Berti went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Mets.

That's now 11 steals in his last 14 games, and 15 on the year, for Berti. The 32-year-old is also batting .302 (16-for-53) over that 14-game stretch with a .362 OBP, affording him plenty of chances to run, and while he doesn't bring much power to the table, Berti will retain fantasy value as long as he's seeing regular playing time.
