Lewis (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Cubs.

Lewis was held out of Saturday's starting nine due to left hamstring soreness but will rejoin the lineup Sunday after missing just one game. Since returning to the Twins in early June after a brief stay at Triple-A St. Paul, the 27-year-old has a .258/.319/.484 slash line with eight doubles, seven homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 19 runs in 33 games.

Devers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Devers hit a leadoff homer to left field in the sixth inning, giving the Giants a 2-0 lead. The veteran infielder had gone 0-for-11 in his previous three outings and is now batting .271 with 11 runs scored, nine RBI and five home runs across 58 plate appearances in July. Overall, he's slashing .245/.314/.477 with 53 RBI, 50 runs scored and 20 long balls in 417 plate appearances this season.

Harrison (elbow) said a precautionary MRI returned "all good" and that he had no issues during his bullpen session Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander landed on the shelf July 8 due to elbow soreness, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury and quickly returned to mound work. Harrison will be eligible to come off the injured list Friday, though he may need to face live batters before rejoining Milwaukee's rotation.

Lopez (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee.

After taking a groundball off his right ring finger in the second inning of Saturday's game, Lopez will be on the bench for the series finale against Milwaukee. Javier Sanoja will play shortstop and bat cleanup in Lopez's absence Sunday.

Pasquantino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

The first baseman was reinstated from the injured list Friday after missing nearly a month due to a hamate fracture, but he finds himself back on the bench Sunday against San Diego righty German Marquez. There's been no word that Pasquantino aggravated the injury, so the Royals may simply be easing him back into the lineup. Kansas City is starting three catchers Sunday, with Luke Maile working behind the plate, Salvador Perez at first base and Carter Jensen at designated hitter.

Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Padres.

After going 4-for-8 with two RBI, two runs scored, one walk and one strikeout in the first two games of the series, Massey will receive a breather for Sunday's matchup. Nick Loftin will take over duties at second base and bat second for Kansas City.

Miami optioned Hinds to Jacksonville on Sunday.

After spending just over a week with the big-league club, Hinds will make his way back down to Jacksonville. The 25-year-old logged just two at-bats with the Marlins in his second big-league stint this season and his first with Miami. The Marlins recalled Graham Pauley from Triple-A to take Hinds' spot on the active roster.

DeGrom (glute) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the White Sox, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The 38-year-old was scratched from his final outing before the All-Star break due to a mild left glute strain, but deGrom's been cleared to take the mound for Texas' fourth game of the second half. He's given up two runs or fewer in six of his past seven starts and has a 4-1 record with a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB across 41 innings during that span.

The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Pauley will return to the big-league club after spending a couple of weeks in Triple-A. In the majors this season, the 25-year-old has slashed .176/.219/.297 with one homer and 11 RBI. To make room for Pauley on the roster, Miami optioned Rece Hinds to Jacksonville.

Misiorowski (arm) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The flamethrowing right-hander was initially penciled in to rejoin the rotation Tuesday after recovering from a bout of arm fatigue, but instead he'll move up a day while Brandon Sproat gets bumped to Tuesday. Misiorowski will be making his first start since July 7 in St. Louis, when he struck out 11 and gave up three runs across seven innings while picking up his 10th victory of the year. It's not a major surprise that the 24-year-old got some extra time off -- his 111 innings this season is fast approaching the career high of 141.1 frames he posted between Triple-A and the majors last year including the playoffs.
