Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Iglesias has predictably seen his playing time fall by the wayside since the July 31 trade deadline, when the Padres added three everyday players to the mix in catcher Freddy Fermin, first baseman/designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn and outfielder Ramon Laureano. Since the three new arrivals were all available to play for the Padres beginning Aug. 2, Iglesias has started in just two of eight games.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

With Cal Raleigh getting a day off from catching but sticking in the lineup at designated hitter, Jorge Polanco will receive the start at second base while Young heads to the bench. The rookie still appears to be viewed as Seattle's top option at the keystone, but with a .253 batting average, three home runs, one steal, 21 runs and 16 RBI through his first 53 big-league games, Young's fantasy appeal will mostly be limited to AL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues.

Garcia (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Garcia will miss a third straight contest while he manages a tight back, but the Nationals are viewing him as day-to-day after an MRI came back negative, per MLB.com. According to Andrew Golden of The Washington Post, Garcia was spotted fielding grounders prior to Sunday's game, which could bode well for his chances of returning to the lineup Monday in Kansas City.

Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Though Turang isn't a strict platoon player, he'll take a seat against Mets lefty Sean Manaea as the Brewers go for their ninth straight win Sunday. Andruw Monasterio will step in at second base.

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

Urias has moved past a back issue and got the start at second base in the prior three games while going 4-for-11 with a walk, two RBI and two runs. He'll give way to Max Schuemann at the keystone Sunday, but Urias should have a fairly clear path to playing time while Max Muncy (hand) and Jacob Wilson (forearm) are on the shelf.

McLain is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

He's gone 4-for-11 with a walk while starting the first three games of the series in Pittsburgh, but McLain will receive a breather on getaway day. Gavin Lux will step in at second base and bat second.

Turang went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Turang tied the game with a 410-foot blast in the fourth inning and then singled and scored again in the seventh. The 25-year-old has been red hot to open August, hitting safely in seven straight games with seven extra-base hits, 10 RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases. For the season, he's slashing .278/.343/.399 with 10 homers, 54 RBI, 68 runs scored and 21 steals across 472 plate appearances.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Kim (shoulder) has been taking part in defensive work and hitting in the batting cage, Sebastian Abdon Ibarra of DodgerBlue.com. "Hyeseong is doing well. He took some swings in the cage. I think on Friday we'll get him in a hitting group," Roberts said. "So he's coming along. I think he says he's almost pain-free, so hopefully we'll get him back here soon."

Kim visibly struggled while swinging due to left shoulder bursitis and went 3-for-24 at the plate in his final nine games prior to landing on the injured list July 29. According to MLB.com, the rookie infielder resumed swinging a bat, taking grounders and running Monday, so his stay on the injured list may not necessarily be a lengthy one.

Donovan was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cubs with left groin tightness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The Cardinals are calling Donovan's removal from the lineup precautionary, so while he won't be able to play Saturday, it doesn't seem like he's dealing with a severe issue. Thomas Saggese will enter the lineup to replace Donovan at second base and bat ninth.

Amador isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

After starting both of Colorado's games since being promoted Wednesday and going 0-for-5, Amador will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Kyle Farmer starts at second base and bats ninth.
