Gorman was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs due to back tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Gorman was penciled in to start at second base and bat third Sunday, but the back issue will instead force him to the bench. The 23-year-old will now have two days to rest up since the Cardinals have a team day off Monday. Taylor Motter replaced him in the lineup at second base Sunday.

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

Donovan will continue to see regular rest days while limited to DH duties due to flexor strain, and he'll sit Sunday for the second time in the past three games. Paul Goldschmidt will rest his legs at designated hitter while Alec Burleson starts at first base.

Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Miller had been filling in as the Brewers' everyday first baseman in place of the injured Rowdy Tellez (finger), but he appears to have lost his grasp on that role after Milwaukee acquired Carlos Santana on Thursday. With Santana in the fold and recent Triple-A Nashville call-up Abraham Toro also picking up more work in the infield, Miller has become the odd man out of the lineup. Miller will hit the bench for the fourth game in a row and looks poised to serve as more of a utility man moving forward.

Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Stott has five hits across the first two games in Pittsburgh but will take a seat for Sunday's series finale, ending a streak of 13 straight starts. Josh Harrison will man the keystone and bat seventh.

Peguero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI on Saturday against the Phillies.

Peguero has been pushed out of playing time in the middle infield in recent days with Nick Gonzales serving as the primary starter at second base and Alika Williams at shortstop. However, Peguero made the case for more playing time by hitting his second big-league homer and also rolling an RBI single through the right side of the infield. He has multiple hits in two of his last three starts.

Rojas started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

Rojas returned to the majors after the Diamondbacks placed Evan Longoria (back) on the injured list Saturday. The lefty-hitting Rojas will share the hot corner with the righty-swinging Emmanuel Rivera, thought it's uncertain if it will be a strict right-left platoon.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Mets.

The 23-year-old second baseman is heating up again, banging out five hits in the last two games and batting .314 (11-for-35) over his last 10. Garcia's production has been inconsistent this season, but he continues to tease some fantasy upside -- after beginning his big-league career having gone 4-for-11 on stolen base attempts over his first three seasons, he's 8-for-12 on the basepaths in 2023.

India (heel) underwent an MRI on Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 26-year-old has apparently dealt with soreness in his left heel over the past few weeks, but the injury worsened of late and resulted in him being scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers. India should be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale in Los Angeles, and the MRI results could soon shed some light on the severity of the issue.

The Rangers traded Acuna to the Mets on Saturday in exchange for Max Scherzer, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Acuna, who is the younger brother of Atlanta All-Star Ronald Acuna, was one of Texas' top prospects and will also be one of the top players in New York's farm system. The 21-year-old shortstop has a .323/.384/.472 slash line and 42 steals in 84 games at Double-A this season, so he could move up to Triple-A before the end of the campaign.

India was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers due to left heel pain, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India started the past three games at the keystone for Cincinnati, but it's unclear when he suffered the injury or if he'll be available off the bench Saturday. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.
