Castro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Castro will head to the bench for the fifth time in Colorado's past six games, with all but one of those absences coming against a left-handed starter. Coco Montes is starting at the keystone Sunday against Halos southpaw Tyler Anderson.

Urias is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Urias started the past four games and will take a seat Sunday in Cleveland after going 3-for-13 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs. Owen Miller will move to the hot corner while Andruw Monasterio starts at second base.

McNeil (wrist) is starting at second base and batting seventh Sunday against the Phillies.

McNeil was held out of the lineup Saturday due to soreness in his left wrist, but it was apparently a minor issue since he's back in the starting nine a day later. The 31-year-old has a .555 OPS in June and has especially struggled over his past six games, going 2-for-20.

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

India has gone just 1-for-15 with six strikeouts over the past four games, and he'll take a seat Sunday after making 49 consecutive starts. Matt McLain will shift to second base and Elly De La Cruz to shortstop while Nick Senzel receives a start at the hot corner.

Gorman (illness) is starting at second base and batting sixth against the Cubs on Sunday in London.

The 23-year-old sat out Saturday's contest due to the illness but will rejoin the starting nine a day later. Gorman has scuffled at the plate over the past few weeks, going 3-for-47 with a 45.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 13 games.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's loss to the Giants.

Marte crushed a hanging slider from Ryan Walker to right field in his first at-bat of the game, giving Arizona an early 1-0 lead. But the second baseman wasn't done, driving home Jake McCarthy with an RBI single in the fifth before coming around to score himself during a four-run inning for the Diamondbacks as they retook the lead. Marte scored three times in the contest and has now homered in three of his five games, collecting nine RBI over that stretch. He's been red-hot at the plate in June, hitting .324 with five home runs, 18 RBI and a whopping 25 runs scored.

Arraez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks Saturday in a 4-3 extra-innings win over the Pirates.

Arraez reached three times in the contest, with his lone hit being a two-run shot in the fifth inning that opened the scoring. The talented second baseman has reached safely in eight straight games, batting a scorching .576 (19-for-33) over that span to lift his season average back over .400. Arraez has also knocked two of his three homers during the red-hot stretch, providing a little extra luster to a skill set that is elite in terms of getting on base but doesn't typically include power or speed.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in a 7-6 win over Cincinnati on Saturday.

Albies slugged a 425-foot solo shot to right field in the third inning and collected a swipe of second base in the fourth. The 26-year-old extended his hitting streak to six games, during which he's batting .357 (10-for-28) with three homers, seven RBI and two thefts. Albies leads all major-league second basemen with 18 long balls on the campaign.

Miller isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Guardians.

Miller's 1-for-25 slump at the plate since June 13 will cost him yet another start Saturday. Luis Urias will get the nod at second base while Brian Anderson moves to the hot corner and Raimel Tapia starts in right field.

McNeil is not in the Mets' lineup Saturday against Philadelphia due to a sore left wrist, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McNeil reportedly suffered the injury during Friday's contest and it's unknown whether or not he'll be available off the bench Saturday. Luis Guillorme will fill in at second base in the meantime, and McNeil should be considered day-to-day until the Mets offer more information.
