Guillorme is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Guillorme has made one start in the Mets' first 16 games and doesn't look set to benefit from Robinson Cano's (groin) recent move to the injured list. Instead, youngster Andres Gimenez looks in line to see the bulk of the action at the keystone while Cano is sidelined.

Gimenez will start at second base and bat eighth Sunday against the Marlins.

He'll enter the starting nine for the fifth time in six games, with his last two turns coming at the keystone. Based on his uptick in usage of late, the 21-year-old looks like set to serve as the primary replacement for Robinson Cano (groin), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Gimenez possesses good speed and decent contact skills, but his lack of power and low placement in the Mets lineup limit his overall fantasy upside.

Forsythe is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Forsythe has started four of six games and is 3-for-13 with a home run since joining the Marlins, but he'll head to the bench Sunday. The veteran infielder has already seen time at first base, second base and designated hitter with Miami still missing much of their Opening Day roster.

Torres went a combined 2-for-6 with a run and a walk in Saturday's doubleheader versus Tampa Bay.

Torres entered Game 1 of the twinbill in an 0-for-24 skid, but he was able to notch a hit in each of the two contests Saturday. After a strong 2019 campaign, the 23-year-old is slashing .146/.212/.208 with only one home run in 52 plate appearances this season.

The Yankees recalled Estrada from their alternate training site Sunday.

One day after optioning Estrada, the Yankees will bring him back on the active roster with the team requiring a replacement for injured outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring). While Stanton's absence creates an everyday opening at designated hitter, Estrada isn't expected to be viewed as a solution there. Instead, the 24-year-old will fill a utility infield role while he's up with the club.

Lopez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Twins. He was also caught stealing.

Lopez did not let his caught stealing in the second inning get him down; the second baseman bounced back in the fourth with his first long ball of the year. It was just his second extra-base hit of the season and Lopez still has a ways to go before he can be considered a viable mixed-league candidate.

Forsythe went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Mets.

Forsythe has been a regular in the Marlins' lineup since they resumed play, filling in at first base, second base and DH in the last three days. He will continue to help out around the diamond while batting near the bottom of the order with a large portion of the team's Opening Day roster currently unavailable.

Estrada was optioned to the Yankees' alternate site between the two halves of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Estrada's latest stay on the big-league roster lasted less than a day, and he didn't see any game action. He'll make way for reliever Ben Heller, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

Kemp isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Astros.

Kemp reached base four times in Friday's extra-inning win against the Astros, but he'll be on the bench for the second time in the past three games. Chad Pinder will get the nod at second base and bat sixth.

Arraez (knee) is starting Saturday against the Royals.

Arraez was sidelined over the past two games while dealing with minor knee soreness. However, manager Rocco Baldelli wasn't concerned about the issue, and the 23-year-old will return to action Saturday.
