Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon failed to record a hit during Monday's 5-3 loss the Dodgers, which ended his 13-game hitting streak.

Gordon was facing his former team for the first time as a member of the Marlins. Gordon went 0 for 4 with one walk during the game. During the hitting streak, Gordon hit .556 with three RBI and five walks.

The Diamondbacks have made multiple adjustments to their starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, the team announced. 

Ender Inciarte, Yasmany Tomas and Chris Owings are back in the starting lineup, moving Mark Trumbo, Cliff Pennington and Nick Ahmed to the bench. Trumbo has started four of the last six games for Arizona. 

The Diamondbacks are currently the underdogs (+135) against the Nationals on Monday.

Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings managed one seven-game tear in late April. That has not been good enough to consider him productive in 2015.

Owings had more than half his hits on the season during that stretch. He is otherwise 10-for-71. A hitless Sunday weakened his slash line to .210/.240/.330.

Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Gordon was held out of the last two games with a leg issue but was able to return Sunday as expected. He has hit .437/.461/.521 with 12 stolen bases in 119 at-bats. Jeff Baker, who drew the start for Gordon Saturday but had to come out with an oblique injury, is on the bench.

The Marlins are a coin flip (-105) against the Giants Sunday.

Giants catcher Buster Posey, shortstop Brandon Crawford and center fielder Angel Pagan are not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Second baseman Joe Panik will serve as the team's No. 3 hitter, a slot that normally features Pagan, while shortstop Matt Duffy will slot into Panik's regular No. 2 spot. First baseman Brandon Belt has been bumped to the cleanup role.

The Giants are a coin flip (-105) against the Marlins Sunday.

Indians infielder Zach Walters gets his first start of the season at shortstop on Sunday. 

Walters replaces Jose Ramirez, who has started 23 games at short this season. He'll bat ninth in the order. 

The Indians are -160 money-line favorites at home against Minnesota. 

Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley , just promoted from Triple-A, will make his first start of the year for the Sox on Sunday. 

Bradley will play right field and hit eighth in the order. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts, who has batted eighth the last 13 games, bumps up to the seventh spot for just the third time this season. 

Mets rookies Dilson Herrera and Kevin Plawecki are out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Herrera has made seven straight starts at second base since joining the lineup but will get a breather Sunday, with Ruben Tejada taking his place. Plawecki has made five straight starts behind the plate, but Anthony Recker will catch Sunday.

The Mets are road favorites (-150) in Philadelphia.

Mets infielder Ruben Tejada is battling his way back into the rotation in the infield. Saturday, Tejada made a beautiful stop at short, earning the respect of manager Terry Francona, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Collins said after the game Tejada made a great play by a good player and that ever since he lost his job, Tejada has never worked harder.

That hard work is paying off as Tejada will draw the start at second base on Sunday, his third start of the season at second.

Marlins reserve infielder Jeff Baker will get his second start of the season and first at second base Saturday in San Francisco and will bat sixth, filling in for Dee Gordon, who’s out of the lineup (leg) for the second straight game. 

Gordon is dealing with a sore right leg muscle. He is expected to be back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game, according to MLB.com.

In 12 at-bats this season, Baker has three hits and one double.
