Arraez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants

Arraez and his .387 batting average will get a breather for the series finale against the Giants on Sunday. Xavier Edwards will get the start at second base and hit ninth while Arraez rests.

Estrada went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Marlins.

Estrada's first-inning single was one of just three hits for the Giants in the contest. He stole second but was left stranded. The 27-year-old took a turn at leadoff with LaMonte Wade on the bench versus a lefty (Braxton Garrett) Saturday. Estrada is 8-for-25 (.320) during his six-game hitting streak, and he's maintained a .310/.358/.477 slash line with 12 steals, six home runs, 16 RBI and 28 runs scored through 43 contests overall.

Castro will sit Sunday versus the Rangers.

Castro will get a breather as the Rockies face southpaw Andrew Heaney on the mound Sunday. Righty bat Alan Trejo will take over at second base and bat seventh in the series finale with Texas.

Gorman is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Gorman will take a seat as the Cardinals face off with Clayton Kershaw on the mound Sunday. Juan Yepez will take over at designated hitter and bat fifth in the series finale with Los Angeles.

Bae is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Bae will get a breather after he went 4-for-8 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in the first two games of the series. Rodolfo Castro will draw the start at second base in the rubber match with Arizona.

Stott is not in the starting lineup against the Cubs on Sunday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Stott drove in a pair of runs while hitting at the top of the lineup in Saturday's rout of the Cubs, but he'll open Sunday's finale against Chicago on the bench. Josh Harrison is starting at second base with Stott out and hitting eighth.

Garcia is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Garcia is out of the lineup for a second consecutive contest. The 23-year-old infielder opens Sunday's game against Detroit on the bench while Michael Chavis gets the start at second base and hits seventh.

India (knee) is starting at designated hitter and batting leadoff Sunday against the Yankees.

India exited Saturday's contest after he fouled a ball of his knee, but he avoided a major injury and is ready to go Sunday. The 26-year-old has recorded at least one hit in four out of the last five games, batting .250 with a double, an RBI and four runs scored over that stretch.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh.

Marte homered in the first inning to give the Diamondbacks an early and later had the first of back-to-back infield singles that resulted in a run. Prior to the second of the those infield hits, Marte and Josh Rojas executed a double steal, putting a runner in scoring position for Corbin Carroll to knock in. Marte has heated up in May, posting a .323 average (21-for-65) with 10 walks over 17 games.

Gorman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Saturday in a 6-5 win against the Dodgers.

The game was tied 3-3 in the eighth inning when Gorman came up to the plate with two on and one out. The 23-year-old unknotted the score with a three-run blast to right field that ended up providing just enough of a margin to give the Cardinals the win. Gorman extended his hitting streak to 11 contests with Saturday's performance, and he's batting .432 (16-for-37) with six homers and 16 RBI over the red-hot stretch.
