Gorman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, according to John Denton of MLB.com.

Gorman has faced a southpaw just 19 times all season, so it should come as little surprise that he is sitting Sunday with left-hander Aaron Ashby on the mound for the opponent. Albert Pujols will enter the lineup in Gorman's place.

Garcia (groin) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, according to Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com.

Garcia has dealt with a couple leg injuries of late, and he will be held out Sunday for a second straight day. Ildemaro Vargas will handle the shortstop duties in Garcia's place.

India (lower leg) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

India's injury prevented him from playing Saturday, and it will force him to the bench again one day later. Donovan Solano will man the keystone for the Reds on Sunday.

Kim is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim is riding a six-game hitting streak and has doubled in five straight appearances, but he also started the last 21 games, so manager Bob Melvin decided it was time for a day off. Jake Cronenworth will man the shortstop position Sunday for the Padres.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with a home run, a stolen base and three RBI in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Rockies.

Rojas accounted for half of the Diamondbacks' offense with a two-run home run in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the ninth. He also logged a steal after a single in the seventh. The 28-year-old hadn't gone yard since July 27, but he's up to three steals in August. For the season, Rojas sports a .276/.348/.410 slash line, seven homers, 35 RBI, 46 runs scored and 14 steals through 333 plate appearances. He's seen most of his playing time at third base this year, but the versatile defender could move around the diamond if manager Torey Lovullo opts to get the hot-hitting Emmanuel Rivera in the lineup more often.

Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Urias accounted for one of three hits and the only run the Brewers were able to get against Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright. This was Urias' first homer since July 27, but he has hit safely in five straight games, going 5-for-17 (.294) in that span. The infielder got his slugging percentage back over .400 for the first time since Aug. 2, and he's added a .231 batting average, 13 long balls, 39 RBI, 40 runs scored and a stolen base through 81 contests.

Chavis isn't starting Saturday against San Francisco.

Chavis has gone 0-for-9 with five strikeouts over the last three games and will be on the bench for the second time in the last three matchups. Bligh Madris is starting at first base while Ben Gamel serves as the designated hitter.

McNeil (hand) is starting Saturday against the Phillies.

McNeil exited Friday's matchup due to a cut on his hand, but he felt better than expected Saturday and will start at the keystone and bat eighth. Over his last five games, he's gone 5-for-15 with a home run, two doubles, four RBI and three runs.

Garcia (groin) isn't starting Saturday against the Padres, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia left Friday's matchup against San Diego with a left groin strain, but he said prior to Saturday's game that he feels fine. He'll be available off the bench if needed, but Ildemaro Vargas will start at shortstop while Maikel Franco plays third base Saturday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

India (lower leg) isn't starting Saturday's game against the Cubs.

India sustained a lower leg contusion during Thursday's Field of Dreams Game against the Cubs and was airlifted to the hospital afterward, but he's considered day-to-day for now. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench Saturday, but Matt Reynolds will start at the keystone and bat sixth.
