Lowe is not in the lineup Sunday against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe started the past 17 games and will receive a well-deserved day off after delivering a .924 OPS during that stretch. Mike Brosseau, who was promoted from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, will start at the keystone in his absence.

Gimenez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Detroit.

The infielder got a start at shortstop to give Amed Rosario a breather. Gimenez was one of two Cleveland hitters to reach base three times in the contest. He's already recorded two stolen bases in six games since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus, but he's gone just 2-for-15 with three walks in that span. Despite the poor hitting, Gimenez will slide over to second base and bat eighth in Sunday's series finale in Detroit.

Albies went 3-for-5 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and an additional run Saturday in Atlanta's 12-2 win over the Nationals.

Albies left the yard for the fourth game in a row and the fifth time in six games, bringing his home-run total up to 22 on the season and leaving him two shy of a career high in the category. He'll look to keep the momentum going in Sunday's series finale, batting leadoff against Nationals right-hander Paolo Espino.

Castro will start at shortstop and bat sixth Sunday against Cleveland.

Castro is picking up his third start in four games and could be in store for a near-everyday role at shortstop while the Tigers wait for Niko Goodrum (groin) to return from the injured list. Dating back to the All-Star break, Castro hasn't provided much of an impact at the dish, posting a .519 OPS with seven runs and four RBI in 19 games.

Marte went 2-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Padres.

Marte doubled off Joe Musgrove and knocked in Josh VanMeter in the first inning. In addition, he scored late in the frame. The 27-year-old is slashing .348/.395/.527 with five long balls, 25 RBI and 30 runs scored in 199 plate appearances. Over his last five games, he is batting .348 with three RBI and four runs.

Arraez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an RBI single in Saturday's 12-0 win over the Rays.

The light-hitting infielder going yard is a rare occurrence, but with seemingly every Twin getting in on the fun Saturday night, Arraez would have been rude not to homer. The Venezuelan knocked in Josh Donaldson with an RBI single in the first before taking Tampa Bay starter Michael Wacha deep in the fourth inning to again score Donaldson. This was Arraez's first home run since he slammed one over the wall on April 8 against the Mariners.

Estrada was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Estrada has looked good in limited action this season, slashing .300/.371/.438 across 89 plate appearances at the big-league level. The Giants' roster is a crowded one, however, so he'll make way for Evan Longoria (shoulder), who returns from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Rosario will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Rosario sits for just the second time in Cleveland's last 67 games. Andres Gimenez starts at shortstop in his absence.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a walk Friday and is 6-for-14 since returning from the injured list August 10. Josh VanMeter is playing second base and batting leadoff Saturday.

Ibanez will sit Saturday against Oakland.

Ibanez hits the bench after starting 19 of the Rangers' last 20 games. He's gone just 3-for-32 at the plate in his last nine games. Yonny Hernandez starts at second base in his absence.
