X-rays on Rojas' bruised left wrist were negative Sunday but his immediate availability remains uncertain, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

He left the game against the Braves after being hit on the wrist by a pitch, finishing 0-for-1 with a walk. Rojas was replaced at first base by Derek Dietrich. The Marlins have an off-day Monday, and Rojas should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Ahmed is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Ahmed will receive a day of rest after making 16 straight starts for the Diamondbacks, a stretch over which he slashed .246/.281/.443 with three homers and seven RBI. Ketel Marte will take over at shortstop with Chris Owings manning the keystone.

Rojas exited Sunday's game against the Braves early after being hit by a pitch on his hand, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning and was replaced at first base entering the eighth frame. The specifics of his hand injury have not been revealed, but that information should become available shortly.

Adrianza is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

With Miguel Sano (hamstring) sidelined since late April, Adrianza has received the majority of the starts at shortstop while Eduardo Escobar has shifted over to Sano's normal post at third base. Though he'll be given the day off Sunday, Adrianza still looks to have some leash in the full-time role with Sano having yet to officially begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Gregorio Petit will receive the nod at shortstop in the series finale.

Gordon (toe) went 0-for-7 with an RBI from a sacrifice fly and a walk in a doubleheader against the Tigers on Saturday.

Gordon had missed Thursday's series finale against the Blue Jays with a bruised toe and then had seen his planned Friday return postponed due to weather. He could only muster a sacrifice fly in the first game of Saturday's twin bill, but he still sported an impressive .366 average over 43 May plate appearances heading into Sunday's action.

Wendle went a combined 4-for-7 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run in Saturday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

The versatile infielder continues to make his mark, with his average sitting right on .300 after his successful Saturday. Wendle has now exceeded his previous career high of 104 major-league plate appearances that he'd logged with the Athletics back in 2016, and he appears set for solid playing time over the balance of the season given the superior production he's churned out thus far.

Arcia is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

After hitting a respectable .277 during his first full season in the majors in 2017, Arcia is currently slashing an abysmal .217/.262/.296 through his first 35 games this year. He continues to display plus defense at shortstop, but the Brewers are surely frustrated by his overall lack of production at the plate. He'll get the day off with Tyler Saladino taking over at short.

After batting leadoff Saturday, Baez is batting fifth and starting at second base in Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

Baez did well as the leadoff hitter, going 2-for-5 with two runs scored, but manager Joe Maddon will mix things up Sunday, getting Ben Zobrist back in there atop the order. Baez has hit no matter where he's been placed in the lineup, as he comes into Sunday's game with a .283/.320/.623 slash line and 10 home runs.

Story went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's win over the Brewers.

He accounted for all of the scoring in this one with three extra-base hits off Brewers starter Brent Suter. Story is now up to 10 home runs and ranks third in the National League with 32 RBI, behind Javier Baez and A.J. Pollock. The 25-year-old has also already matched last year's stolen-base total with seven. While the strikeouts remain high, Story is more than making up for the batting-average drain with what he's doing in the counting stats.

Lindor went 4-for-4 with two home runs, two doubles, four runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Royals.

Lindor extended his hitting streak to 13 games with his first-inning double off Jakob Junis, a stretch during which he's gone a remarkable 27-for-58 (.465) with eight homers, 18 runs, 13 RBI and a 5:8 BB:K. He added another double and a homer of Junis before capping his four-hit day with a long ball of Kevin McCarthy. Saturday's performance boosted Lindor's average to a season-high .311.
