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

Jorbit Vivas will pick up a start at second base while Nunez gets a breather after starting five straight games. During that stretch, Nunez was unable to build on his MLB-leading total of 32 steals, but he went 3-for-15 with four walks while blasting his first home run of the season.

Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Along with fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo, Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers, Holliday will take a seat for the series finale against Nick Lodolo. Jeremiah Jackson will replace Holliday at second base and bat eighth.

The Tigers announced Tuesday that Torres (oblique) is in the midst of a running progression, but the veteran second baseman hasn't yet resumed hitting since landing on the injured list June 17, MLB.com reports.

Though Torres has been able to take part in some baseball activities since receiving a cortisone injection last month for his left oblique strain, his inability to start up a hitting progression over two weeks later suggests that the Tigers will likely hold him out through the All-Star break. Torres missed a month of action earlier in the season with the same injury, and it wouldn't be surprising if he faces a longer recovery timeline this time around.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Saturday against the Nationals.

Lowe made his lone hit of the day count, knocking in two in the second frame with a single. He's hit only .220 while striking out at a 29.0 percent clip over the last month, though he's still managed to record 20 RBI, 15 runs scored and five home runs across 27 games in that span.

Turang went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

This was Turang's second three-hit effort in a row and his third such performance during a seven-game hitting streak. He also reached 20 doubles on the season with a pair of two-baggers in this contest. For the year, the second baseman is batting .269 with an .824 OPS, 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 83 games.

Arroyo is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday.

Arroyo will be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's game while Matt McLain starts at second base and bats ninth. Arroyo has gone 1-for-13 with four strikeouts over his last four games and is slashing .244/.294/.282 with four RBI and three doubles over 86 plate appearances this season.

Donovan (groin) will embark on a rehab assignment Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Donovan is ready to take the next step in his recovery from a left groin strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list in mid-May. Given the length of his absence, the veteran infielder seems unlikely to return to the majors until after the All-Star break.

Lee is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Rangers on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Lee will be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's game while Zach McKinstry and Kevin McGonigle start at second base and shortstop, respectively. Since June 1, Lee has gone 20-for-59 (.339) with one steal, three home runs and seven RBI.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Mets.

The second baseman took Christian Scott deep in the third inning, one of four Atlanta homers on the night. Albies is up to 14 homers on the season in just 86 games, two shy of what he produced over 157 contests in 2025, and his .767 OPS would be his best mark since 2023.

Bazzana went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Bazzana, who was given a day off Wednesday amid a 2-for-29 stretch, logged a second consecutive multi-hit game Friday. He's 4-for-8 with two walks, two RBI and two runs scored since getting a breather. While this two-game response is encouraging, the rookie has more to do to prove that he's adjusted to the adjustments of MLB pitching. Bazzana's .643 OPS for the month of June was 231 points lower than it was in May.
