Vaughn is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

The 24-year-old has a .437 OPS and 32.1 percent strikeout rate in seven games since returning from the injured list May 13, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's matinee. AJ Pollock will shift to left field while Adam Engel starts in right. Vaughn is likely to be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

Bohm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Dodgers.

The home run was the third of the season and first since April 28 for Bohm, who continues to deliver most of his fantasy value via his .289 batting average over 128 at-bats. Per Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Bohm will start at third base and bat second in Sunday's series finale.

Diaz (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Diaz exited Saturday's contest with a strained left shoulder and will be held out of the lineup for the series finale. It's unclear whether he will require a stint on the injured list, but the team will have Monday's scheduled off day to evaluate him before the 30-year-old misses additional time. Ji-Man Choi will take over at first base while Harold Ramirez bats cleanup as the designated hitter Sunday.

Cron went 4-for-7 with a two-run home run, a walk and three runs scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Cron did the majority of his damage in the second game, as he delivered his 11th homer of the season in the first inning. He's in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak -- the entirety of which has been at Coors Field -- during which he's maintained a .455 batting average with a pair of long balls, eight RBI and 11 runs scored. For the season, Cron has an impressive .331/.378/.629 line across 164 plate appearances.

Dalbec went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win over Seattle.

Per usual these days, Dalbec was not in the starting lineup against a righty, but he entered after Alex Verdugo was removed with flu-like symptoms. Franchy Cordero shifted from first base to left field, while Dalbec took Cordero's spot. The Red Sox will learn more about Verdugo's status and were uncertain about his availability Sunday, so Dalbec could slot in against right-hander Logan Gilbert.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

He'll receive just his second day off of the season following a big Saturday in which he went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in the Cardinals' 5-4 win. Juan Yepez will fill in for Goldschmidt at first base.

Harris went 3-for-4 with two home runs, six RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored for Double-A Frisco on Saturday.

Harris, who swatted 20 homers in two minor-league stops in 2021, is having quite a week for the RoughRiders. The power prospect has mashed five home runs in 24 at-bats over the last five games. He leads Frisco with 30 RBI and is second with seven home runs.

Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win against Pittsburgh.

Goldschmidt's second-inning double plated a pair of runs, and he collected three additional base knocks throughout the contest. This was the veteran's first four-hit performance of the season and eighth multi-hit effort during his current 14-game hitting streak. During the red-hot stretch, he is batting .458 (27-for-59) with four homers, 12 doubles, 18 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base.

Diaz left Saturday's contest versus the Orioles early with a left shoulder strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz exited in the bottom of the sixth inning and was replaced at third base by Isaac Paredes. He went 1-for-3 with a run scored before he left. Diaz is considered day-to-day and will be reevaluated Sunday.

Smith is not starting Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Rockies.

Smith played first base in the Mets' Game 1 win, going 0-for-4 with a run scored. Pete Alonso will handle first while J.D. Davis enters the lineup at designated hitter, batting eighth.
