The Pirates recalled Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

The 25-year-old will take the roster spot of Nick Gonzales, who was placed on the injured list Sunday with a groin injury. Williams has a .210/.234/.290 slash line in 23 big-league games this season and could see some action at second base with Gonzales expected to be out well beyond the 10-day minimum.

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

Marte will receive Sunday off after a string of 10 straight starts, a stretch in which he posted a .405/.478/.838 slash line with five home runs and 16 RBI. Kevin Newman will receive a look at the keystone in the series finale versus Pittsburgh.

Gelof is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Gelof has a .579 OPS and 32.1 percent strikeout rate over 73 at-bats in July and will sit Sunday for the second consecutive game. Abraham Toro will receive another start at second base Sunday, while Tyler Nevin makes a start at third.

Pirates GM Ben Cherington said Sunday that Gonzales (groin) is being placed on the 10-day injured list, and the absence will be measured in weeks, not days, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old is expected to return before the end of the season, but when exactly that might be remains to be seen. Gonzales suffered the groin injury during Saturday's matchup with the Diamondbacks and will now be sidelined for the foreseeable future. He got off to a hot start with a .280/.316/.439 slash line in his first 44 games of the season but posted a .533 OPS in July.

Gorman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

The lefty-hitting Gorman will avoid Nationals southpaw DJ Herz on Sunday. Brendan Donovan will start at second base and bat sixth.

Brujan is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Milwaukee.

Brujan will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 0-for-2 with two walks and one run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Brewers. Nick Gordon will start in center field and bat eighth.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Cubs.

Frazier is slashing just .146/.205/.220 with one home run, five RBI and a 22.2 percent strikeout rate across 43 plate appearances in July. Salvador Perez will serve as the designated hitter Sunday and bat in the cleanup spot against Cubs right-hander Javier Assad.

Stott is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Guardians.

With left-hander Joey Cantillo taking the mound for Cleveland on Sunday, Stott will begin the contest in the dugout. Edmundo Sosa will start at second base and bat seventh.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

Marte kept his hot streak going Saturday, drawing a walk in his first trip to the plate before coming around to score Arizona's first run of the contest on a Christian Walker single. The second baseman then came right back with a two-run shot on the first pitch he saw in the second, giving him his fourth home run in his last five games. Over that stretch he's batting .444 (8-for-18) with 11 RBI and seven runs scored. Saturday also marked his fifth game this month in which he's driven in multiple runs.

Polanco went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Polanco hit solo shots in the fourth and fifth innings before tacking on an RBI single in the eighth. Hitting in Chicago has agreed with the second baseman -- he has three long balls over two games versus the White Sox, giving him nine on the year. He's added a .209/.293/.340 slash line, 24 RBI, 24 runs scored, two stolen bases and five doubles over 273 plate appearances.
