Adames (illness) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Adames was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's contest and is apparently still under the weather a day later. The rookie's absence will allow Adeiny Hechavarria to pick up a second consecutive start at shortstop.

Diaz is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.

Manager John Gibbons' decision to open up an everyday role in the middle infield for Lourdes Gurriel has proven detrimental to Diaz and Devon Travis, who have received more frequent benchings to accommodate the rookie. Diaz will sit for the second time in four games after hitting his eighth home run of the season Saturday in the Blue Jays' 8-5 loss.

Anderson went 0-for-4 and stole a base in Saturday's 12-6 loss to the Astros.

Anderson was held out of the White Sox's previous game after getting plunked by a pitch on the left forearm, but his legs still work fine. The steal was his 21st of the season, which ties him for fifth in the majors.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Brewers.

Camargo came through with a timely single in the first inning to drive in both of his runs. He's now driven in eight runs in his past 10 games. The 24-year-old switch hitter has quietly put together a solid season, hitting .256/.355/.445 over 211 at-bats.

Baez went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in Saturday's comeback win over the Reds.

Baez had a great afternoon, launching his 17th home run of the season in the seventh inning as part of a rally that saw the Cubs overcome a 7-2 deficit. The dynamic 25-year-old is now batting .294 with an .892 OPS, and he also has 15 steals, making him one of the most complete players in fantasy baseball.

Lopez was placed on the minor-league disabled list with a broken left thumb, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Lopez began the season as the youngest player in the Midwest League and has a .224/.280/.358 slash line with 80 strikeouts in 246 at-bats for Low-A Fort Wayne. It remains unclear how long the 18-year-old will be on the disabled list or whether he requires surgery, but the TinCaps should be without the young shortstop for the foreseeable future.

D'Arnaud's contract was purchased by the Giants on Saturday.

The 31-year-old has a .223/.278/.306 line in parts of six big-league seasons. He's a versatile player, appearing everywhere but catcher and pitcher over the course of his career, and he'll likely serve a utility role during his time with the club. Joe Panik was placed on the disabled list with a groin strain in a corresponding move.

Fletcher will sit for the second straight game Saturday against the Dodgers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

Fletcher had been working into a fairly regular role, starting seven straight games heading into Friday's contest, but he'll now sit in favor of Luis Valbuena for the second straight game. Fletcher has a .294/.345/.373 line in 19 games this season.

Herrera is not in the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

Herrera will hit the bench after starting 16 straight games following a mid-June promotion. He hit .269/.286/.388 over that span with zero homers and one steal.

Story was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Mariners, Nick Groke of The Athletic Denver reports.

Story was hit by a pitch Friday night. The official diagnosis for the 25-year-old is a right foot bruise, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Pat Valaika will take over at shortstop and bat seventh in the Rockies' reshuffled lineup.
