Witt went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 13-7 loss to Seattle.

Witt singled in the fourth and fifth innings, plating a run and stealing second on the latter. The two-hit game was the second of the top prospect's career and Witt has now strung together a modest three-game hitting struck that's boosted a still-disappointing slash line to .184/.216/.286. The 21-year-old logged 29 thefts in 124 minor-league games last season and will be a bigger stolen base threat once he can get on base more consistently.

Arcia will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

With a southpaw on the mound for Miami in Jesus Luzardo, the righty-hitting Arcia will stay in the lineup over the lefty-hitting Alex Dickerson, but Arcia may have usurped Dickerson as Atlanta's preferred option against right-handers, too. Arcia, who is picking up his fifth start in six games Sunday, enters the series finale with a .292/.379/.375 slash line across 29 plate appearances. Meanwhile, Dickerson has turned in a measly .379 OPS through 28 trips to the plate this season.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 13-7 win over Kansas City.

Crawford got Seattle on the board with a two-run homer off Royals starter Kris Bubic and tacked on a single in the fourth and walk in the sixth. The 27-year-old has recorded consecutive multi-hit games for the second time this season and boosted his slash line to .340/.460/.560, with the .460 OBP ranking fifth in the league.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

DeJong is 2-for-23 with 10 strikeouts in his past eight contests and will take a seat for the second time in the past three games. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop Sunday and could receive more opportunities if DeJong continues to struggle offensively. According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, DeJong also won't start Monday against Max Scherzer and the Mets as he attempts to make some mechanical adjustments to his swing.

Rojas (illness) is not in the lineup Sunday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas was scratched from Saturday's starting nine due to flu-like symptoms, and he'll sit for a second straight game Sunday. Joey Wendle will shift over to shortstop while Jon Berti starts at third base in the series finale.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Correa started the past nine games and will receive a day to reset after posting a .182/.308/.182 slash line and 28.2 percent strikeout rate during that span. Nick Gordon take over at shortstop in his absence and bat ninth.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

Perdomo started at shortstop, as the Diamondbacks plan to ease Nick Ahmed back from a shoulder injury. Long term, the team is giving the prospect practice reps at third base, where at-bats are available. Following a 1-for-22 start, Perdomo has multiple hits in two straight games, including his first double and triple of the season.

The Tigers reinstated Baez (thumb) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Rockies in Detroit. He'll start at shortstop and bat third in the series finale, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com.

Baez was sidelined for just one day beyond the minimum amount of time on the IL with the sore right thumb, an injury that first surfaced April 13. Even though Baez wasn't sent out on a rehab assignment prior to being activated, the Tigers shouldn't have much hesitation about deploying him on an everyday basis now that he's back in action. Baez's return will likely leave fewer at-bats to go around for Harold Castro and Willi Castro.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's victory over the Phillies.

The stolen base came as part of a double steal executed by Adames and teammate Christian Yelich, and Adames wound up being credited with both his first stolen base of the season and a steal of home on the play. Adames has started every game this season, and after going through a 2-for-29 (.069) stretch, he's reached base four times over the Brewers' last two games.

Rojas was scratched from Saturday's lineup against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas was originally slated to start at shortstop and hit eighth, but he was scratched with flu-like symptoms. Joey Wendle shifted from third base to shortstop, while Jon Berti entered the lineup to play the hot corner.
