  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Resting Sunday

    Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Urias will get a breather in the series finale after he started each of Milwaukee's last 11 games. Mike Brosseau will fill in at shortstop in place of Urias, who went 2-for-5 with his third home run of the season in Saturday's 5-1 win.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Not starting matinee

    Torres is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

    Torres started the past five games and went 6-for-20 with two doubles, two walks, an RBI and four runs, but he'll take a seat for Game 1 of Sunday's twin bill. He's likely to be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Joining big-league club

    Haggerty had his contract selected by the Mariners on Sunday.

    The 27-year-old lost his spot on Seattle's 40-man roster during the offseason and will now rejoin the major-league club. Haggerty played in 35 games for the Mariners last season and had a .538 OPS, but he's enjoyed a strong start to the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Tacoma with a .304/.378/.512 slash line, five home runs, 21 RBI and 13 stolen bases.

  • Andy Ibanez 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Andy Ibanez: Heads to bench Sunday

    Ibanez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Ibanez is mired in a 2-for-37 slump and will take a seat for the second time in the past three games. Brad Miller will man third base in his place while Mitch Garver serves as the designated hitter.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Swats first homer

    Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win against Oakland.

    The game was scoreless until the fifth inning, when Rengifo went deep to left field for his first homer of the campaign. The infielder added another RBI on an infield single in the sixth. Rengifo doesn't offer much power, but he's hit well so far this season, slashing .300/.382/.433 across 35 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Gets first start in outfield

    Donovan will start in right field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    With the Cardinals recently moving Tommy Edman over to shortstop to clear room at the keystone for prospect Nolan Gorman, Donovan looks like he'll lose out on the everyday role in the infield he held for the better part of the past two weeks. However, Donovan looks like he could still end up playing regularly in the corner outfield or at designated hitter after Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list. For at least Sunday's contest, though, Donovan will be filling in for Dylan Carlson, who is day-to-day after exiting Saturday's 5-4 win with hamstring tightness.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | KC

    Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: Dealing with bruised hand

    Rojas left Saturday's game against the Cubs with a left hand contusion.

    Adding insult to injury, the bruise occured when Rojas was struck in the hand by a pitch that he swung at and struck out on, but he's at least escaped without a serious injury. He may need some time off to wait for his swelling and soreness to subside, but it appears that he's avoided the longer absence which would come with a fracture. Yonny Hernandez replaced him and could see some extra playing time if Rojas winds up being forced to sit for a few days.

  • Elvis Andrus 2B | ARI

    Athletics' Elvis Andrus: Riding pine Saturday

    Andrus isn't starting Saturday against the Angels.

    Andrus started in the last five games and went 4-for-16 with two doubles, a run, an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Nick Allen starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Takes seat against left-hander

    Donovan isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com

    The 25-year-old has started exclusively against right-handed pitchers since joining the major-league club, and he'll take a seat with southpaw Jose Quintana on the mound Saturday. Nolan Gorman made his major-league debut at second base Friday, so Donovan will likely see most of his playing time in left field going forward.

  • Nolan Gorman 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Not starting Saturday

    Gorman isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Gorman made his major-league debut in Friday's series opener against Pittsburgh, and he went 1-for-3 with a run and a walk. However, he'll get a breather with left-hander Jose Quintana on the mound Saturday. Tommy Edman will shift to second base while Edmundo Sosa (ankle) returns to the lineup at shortstop.
