Rojas (hand) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old injured his hand during Saturday's contest and had X-rays come back negative, but he'll miss at least one game as a result. It's unclear if Rojas will be available for either of Sunday's games. Jazz Chisholm will shift to shortstop while Isan Diaz starts at second base in the matinee.

Bogaerts is getting the day off Sunday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

He is out of the lineup for the series finale in Tampa Bay, and manager Ron Roenicke confirmed that it is simply an off day for his star shortstop. Tzu-Wei Lin will start at the six and bat ninth.

Mondesi went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, one steal and one additional run scored Saturday against the Pirates.

He is up to four home runs to go along with his MLB-leading 16 steals. Mondesi is hitting .288/.329/.530 with four home runs and nine steals in 66 at-bats over his last 17 games, rewarding those who were patient with him after a really rough start to the season.

Bogaerts went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays.

The Tampa battery of Tyler Glasnow and Michael Perez was helpless to stop Boston baserunners on the evening as the Red Sox went 6-for-6 on steal attempts. For his part, Bogaerts is a perfect 5-for-5 on the year to go along with a .276/.339/.509 slash line, 10 homers, 26 RBI and 26 runs through 45 games.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Dodgers.

Diaz was an igniter for the Astros' five-run ninth-inning rally in the comeback win. He's been a lineup regular while Astros manager Dusty Baker has navigated injuries to Alex Bregman (hamstring) and Jose Altuve (knee). Richard Justice of MLB.com reported that Altuve took swings Saturday and was scheduled to run the bases, and the Astros are hopeful he'll be activated for Tuesday's series opener against the Rangers. With Bregman already having returned and Altuve close, Diaz's time as an everyday starter could be ending Sunday.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

Ahmed, who has primarily batted in the lower third of the order, hit out of the two-hole for the second time in four games. As the Diamondbacks infuse the lineup with prospects and less-proven talent, Ahmed will be given a slot higher in the batting order among the team's best hitters. The shortstop has seven hits in his last 15 at-bats.

Fletcher went 0-for-6 in Saturday's win over Colorado.

Fletcher was activated from the injured list prior to the contest and immediately slotted back into his usual leadoff role. The utilityman showed some rust, however, going hitless in six at-bats. Despite the fruitless performance, Fletcher is still hitting an even .300 on the season.

Anderson went 4-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Anderson joined the White Sox 14-run offensive barrage, recording his sixth multi-hit game in his last 10 starts. He has reached base regularly throughout the season, illustrated by his .358 batting average and .400 on-base percentage. As a result of his ability to get on base and the talent of his surrounding lineup, Anderson now has 38 runs scored in just 35 contests.

Rojas had X-rays on his hand come back negative after exiting Saturday's loss to the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas was lifted for a pinch hitter during the seventh inning, and it's unclear how he sustained the injury, though it doesn't appear to be serious. Jazz Chisholm and Isan Diaz would likely work at shortstop and second base should Rojas be forced to miss time.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Reds.

Both of Edman's hits were singles. His first came in the first inning, which was followed by his second stolen base of the year. The 25-year-old has produced four homers, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and a .259/.320/.403 slash line in 37 games.
