Betts is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Angels on Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Both Betts and Andy Pages will get an off day, with Miguel Rojas starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Sunday's series finale. Betts has gone 3-for-22 (.136) with one RBI and two runs scored since June 1.

Seager is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Sunday.

Seager will get a breather after going 2-for-8 with a two-run home run in two games since being activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Ezequiel Duran will start at shortstop while Justin Foscue mans second base.

Winn isn't starting for St. Louis on Sunday against Cincinnati.

Winn will get a breather after starting 14 straight games. He batted just .196 over that stretch, striking out 17 times over 60 plate appearances. Jose Fermin is drawing a start at shortstop in Winn's stead Sunday.

Hernaiz is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Astros on Sunday.

Hernaiz has struggled at the plate as of late, having gone 1-for-19 with two walks and six strikeouts over his last seven outings. He'll be on the bench for Sunday's series finale while Alika Williams starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

Rocchio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.

Rocchio ignited the Guardians' four-run fifth inning with his fifth home run of the season. He's not required to do much more than keep the line moving from the ninth spot in the order and has done that well. Rocchio is slashing .283/.361/.410 with 29 RBI, 11 steals and 28 runs over 63 games.

Crawford (hand) is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Tigers on Sunday.

Crawford will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game while tending to a hand injury that he sustained in Friday's series opener. Colt Emerson will once again start at shortstop while Patrick Wisdom operates at third base.

Muncy (hand) went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, an additional run scored and a walk Saturday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Muncy continued to mash on his rehab assignment as he completes his recovery from a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand. The 23-year-old is slashing .375/.385/.708 with two homers, two doubles, eight RBI and five runs across six rehab appearances with the Aviators. It shouldn't be long before he's activated and returns to the big-league roster, though it remains to be seen whether Muncy will reclaim his role as the primary third baseman. Zack Gelof has performed well at the hot corner in his absence, though the defensive versatility of both players should provide the A's with multiple avenues to get both of them in the lineup.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Neto ended a 10-game power drought when he took Jack Dreyer deep in the ninth inning. Neto is now batting .232 with a .776 OPS, 11 homers, 28 RBI, 43 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, 14 doubles and a triple over 62 games this season. He's gone 13-for-41 (.317) over his last 12 contests.

Hamilton went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

Hamilton popped the homer in the second inning before adding three more singles. This was his second multi-hit effort over six games in June, matching his total from all of May. The infielder is now batting .243 with a .667 OPS, three homers, 11 RBI, 28 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, three doubles and a triple over 178 plate appearances. Hamilton continues to handle a strong-side platoon role on the left side of the Brewers' infield.

Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Montgomery walked and scored a run in the first inning before launching a solo blast in the third. Including Saturday's performance, the 24-year-old has gone just 2-for-20 to open June, but he has left the yard three times over his past seven games. On the season, he's slashing .223/.317/.476 with 16 homers, 38 RBI, 30 runs scored and one stolen base across 265 plate appearances.
