Arraez (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With a team off day coming Monday, the Giants will give Arraez at least two days to recover from the right wrist contusion that forced him out of Saturday's 6-2 loss. Christian Koss will pick up a start at second base Sunday in Arraez's stead, but manager Tony Vitello said that he's targeting Tuesday's game in Cincinnati for Arraez's return to the lineup, per Slusser.

Svanson was charged with five runs on six hits and a walk over one inning of work in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.

Svanson retired the final two batters in the top of the eighth inning to keep the Cardinals' deficit at 2-0. He remained in for the top of the ninth after Boston's lead had been cut to one but yielded six consecutive one-out singles as the visitors effectively put the game away. Svanson came into the season as part of the high-leverage picture, but he might need a reset in the minors after posting a 15.58 ERA and 7:6 K:BB over his first 8.2 innings.

Yorke went 3-for-4 with a double and a walk Saturday against the Cubs.

Yorke has started four of the last five games at third base, with Nick Gonzales rotating around the infield. Yorke has taken advantage, going 8-for-18 in that span, highlighted by two doubles and a pair of three-hit performances. He looks to be the top option at third base for the time being in Pittsburgh, with Jared Triolo (knee) sidelined.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Marte started Arizona's first 15 games of the season but will take a seat Sunday after going 2-for-8 with a walk, a homer, three RBI and two runs through the first two contests in Philadelphia. Ildemaro Vargas will finish out the series at second base for the Diamondbacks while batting leadoff.

Griffin went 1-for-5 with a stolen base Saturday against the Cubs.

Griffin hasn't logged an extra-base hit since the first plate appearance of his career and has gone hitless in four of his first seven starts. While his slow start isn't necessarily a surprise given his age, Griffin did manage to loft a single into left field for a single Saturday and then steal second base -- the first of his big-league career. He has hit primarily in the bottom-third of Pittsburgh's order, but Griffin should continue to play nearly every day.

Thielbar (1-2) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk in the 11th inning to take the loss Saturday against the Pirates. He struck out three.

Thielbar had a bit of a tough-luck loss, as he allowed the automatic inherited runner to score on a soft groundball back toward the mound with two outs in the top of the frame. The veteran lefty fielded the ball but threw low to first base, and his error allowed the Pirates to move ahead 4-3. On the bright side, Thielbar has six strikeouts and a solid 3.38 ERA across 5.1 innings so far this season working in middle relief for the Cubs.

Conforto went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3, extra-innings loss to the Pirates.

This was Conforto's first game action in three days, as the veteran has settled in as a reserve outfielder for the Cubs. With Seiya Suzuki back in the fold, Conforto figures to remain on the bench, though he could eventually see more time at DH if he continues to show some life in his bat. Over his last five appearances, Conforto is slashing .385/.556/.462 with five walks, three RBI and three runs scored.

Stewart started at second base and went 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Stewart covered second base due to Matt McLain getting a breather for the first time this season. The rookie handled all fielding opportunities that came his way, including being the pivot on two double-play groundouts. Stewart will mainly live at first base but can move around if needed. Through 15 games, he's batting .340 with 13 walks, four doubles, four home runs, 10 RBI, three steals and nine runs scored.

Steer batted second and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Steer was moved up in the batting order, as Matt McLain was held out of the starting lineup for the first time this season. The RBI snapped a six-game drought for Steer, who finished second on the team in that category last season with 75. He's batting .191 with two home runs and four RBI through 13 games in 2026.

Carroll started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Philadelphia.

Carroll returned to the lineup after missing two games with a tight hip flexor. His first-inning walk preceded an RBI single by Adrian Del Castillo. Carroll was available off the bench the last two days, which indicates the issue wasn't considered serious.
