Brujan is not in Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.

With Taylor Walls (calf) returning to action, the Rays aren't quite as shorthanded as they had been for the past few days. Brujan is hitting .148 over his last 10 games.

Altuve went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Royals.

Altuve walked and stole second in the seventh inning, but he was left on base. He's now gone 1-for-14 with five walks, an RBI, a steal and a run scored in four games since he was deemed good-to-go after a potential head injury Monday. The second baseman has a .265/.345/.510 slash line with 10 home runs, three steals, 17 RBI and 24 runs scored in 38 contests overall, so it's likely he works out of his current slump in the near future.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

Marte is on a 16-game hitting streak, and he was the only Diamondback to record multiple hits Saturday. He's 23-for-59 (.390) during the streak. The second baseman hasn't enjoyed over-the-fence power with just three home runs in 50 contests, but he's up to 19 doubles. He's posted a .268/.338/.432 slash line with 18 RBI, 25 runs scored and three stolen bases this season.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

Semien stole third in the fourth inning before coming around to score on an Adolis Garcia homer. The steal was Semien's fifth in his last 11 games and his eighth of the season in nine attempts. The infielder has a .191/.253/.275 slash line with two home runs, 18 RBI, 24 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple through 51 contests, though he's also hit safely in eight of his last 11 games as he begins to turn things around at the plate.

Hoerner isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Hoerner started at shortstop in the first game of the twin bill and went 2-for-3 with two runs and a stolen base. However, Andrelton Simmons will shift to shortstop while Christopher Morel starts at second base in the nightcap.

Jones (elbow) cleared unconditional release waivers and became a free agent Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Jones underwent Tommy John surgery last week and will now hit free agency after being released by Baltimore. Since the 24-year-old was designated for assignment while hurt, the Orioles were forced to place him on release waivers after he went unclaimed on waivers. However, Jones will have the option to re-sign with the Orioles now that he's officially a free agent.

Arroyo isn't starting Saturday against the Athletics, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 27-year-old could see a slight uptick in playing time while Jackie Bradley is on the paternity list, but Arroyo will be out of the lineup for a fifth consecutive game. Jarren Duran will draw the start in right field and lead off.

Gorman (back) went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 14-5 win over the Cubs.

Gorman enjoyed a little success in his return from a three-game absence. The infielder was in the lineup as the designated hitter Friday, but he'll bat second and return to the field at second base in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs. Gorman has homered three times in his last four games, accounting for all of his long balls in 11 contests this year.

Urias (thumb) isn't starting Saturday against the Padres.

Urias was removed from Friday's loss to the Padres due to a swollen thumb, and he's tentatively considered day-to-day. However, he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game while Jace Peterson starts at third base with Pablo Reyes taking over at shortstop.

Stott went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-0 win over the Angels.

The rookie shortstop took Chase Silseth deep in the second inning, giving the Phillies an early 4-0 lead in the rout. In back-to-back games Stott has produced his first career homer and first career steal, but he's still only slashing .160/.209/.222 through his first 26 MLB games.
