Bae went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a steal in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

Bae led off the third inning with a base hit before swiping second and scoring on a Bryan Reynolds hit. Bae is now 11-for-12 on stolen base attempts this year, tying him for second in the league. The 23-year-old Bae has hit well enough to maximize his stolen-base value -- he's slashing .250/.302/.350 with two home runs, nine RBI and 17 runs scored through 87 plate appearances while splitting time between center field and second base.

Villar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Villar is sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher (Yu Darvish) for the second straight day and appears to have ceded primary duties at third base to J.D. Davis. The righty-hitting Villar offers the ability to play three infield positions and should still have a path to steady playing time versus left-handed pitching.

Urias (hamstring) progressed to running at 50 percent Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The 25-year-old landed on the shelf April 1 after he suffered a major hamstring strain Opening Day, and he should be nearing the halfway point in his recovery process. Urias will be eligible to be reinstated from the 60-day IL on May 31, though he clearly still has significant work to do in his rehab program.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Lefty Austin Gomber will be on the mound Sunday for Colorado, so Rojas finds himself on the bench for the third time in Arizona's past four games. Evan Longoria will receive another start at the hot corner, batting fifth.

Kim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Kim appears to be receiving some routine maintenance Sunday after he had started in each of the Padres' last 12 games while batting just .179 with no extra-base hits but chipping in four stolen bases. Jake Cronenworth will shift over from first base to replace Kim at the keystone.

Trejo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Trejo started the past four games at second base and will take a seat after he went 3-for-18 with two RBI, a run and a stolen base. Harold Castro will man the keystone in Sunday's series finale.

Villar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 16-11 loss to the Padres.

Brett Wisely initially replaced Brandon Crawford (calf), but Villar entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. One frame later, Villar briefly put the Giants ahead 11-10 with his solo shot. He was initially expected to start at third base this season, but J.D. Davis has hit well to begin the year, limiting Villar to more of a utility role in the infield. He still gets his fair share of playing time, but he's managed a paltry .156/.258/.351 slash line with four homers, 11 RBI, 10 runs scored, a stolen base and three doubles through 89 plate appearances.

India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

India started the first 27 games of the campaign for the Reds and will receive his first day off for Sunday's series finale in Oakland. Kevin Newman will take over at the keystone and bat leadoff in his place.

Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Halos.

Turang finds himself on the bench for the third consecutive game, as Los Angeles will send out yet another left-handed started in Jose Suarez. Owen Miller will receive another start at the keystone as the pair appear to be in a strict platoon at the position.

The Pirates acquired Capra from the Blue Jays on Sunday in exchange for catcher Tyler Heineman.

Capra came up short in his bid for an Opening Day roster spot with the Blue Jays and had struggled to a .167/.357/.222 slash line with Triple-A Buffalo to begin the 2023 campaign. He'll offer the Pirates some organizational depth with the ability to play all over the infield and also the corner outfield.
