Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Rengifo will take a seat after he had started at third base the last six games, going just 2-for-25 with a pair of doubles and a walk during that stretch. The Brewers should continue to find at-bats for Rengifo against left-handed pitching, but he'll need to perform better to earn consistent opportunities versus righties.

India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

India has a .184/.340/.342 slash line through 47 plate appearances this year and finds himself on the bench Sunday for the second time in Kansas City's past three games. Michael Massey is picking up another start at the keystone in the series finale versus Chicago.

Edman (ankle) took live at-bats against Blake Snell (shoulder) on Saturday, per MLB.com.

The session marked the first time Edman has faced live pitching since last season. The utility man is also continuing to ramp up his running progression, but he still seems to be several weeks away from a potential minor-league rehab assignment. Edman is unlikely to be activated off the IL until at least late May.

Caballero went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's extra-inning loss to Tampa Bay.

Caballero twice rose to the occasion late in the game, rapping a double to left field in the eighth inning to produce two runs and adding a run-scoring single in the 10th. It was a much-needed outcome for the speedy utility man, as he entered Saturday having gone just 1-for-26 over his previous eight games. Caballero is dragging around a poor .408 OPS through 48 plate appearances overall, with his five stolen bases representing his lone positive fantasy output. He's likely to lose his everyday role at shortstop when Anthony Volpe (shoulder), who will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, is ready to be activated.

Tawa will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The 27-year-old utility player will occupy left field for the fifth game in a row, but Arizona may not have room in its outfield for both Tawa and Jorge Barrosa once Corbin Carroll -- who is making a second straight start at designated hitter due to a minor hip issue -- is cleared to play defense. With a .393 OPS over 31 plate appearances on the season, Tawa hasn't done much to justify an everyday assignment in place of Jordan Lawlar (wrist), who will be on the shelf until at least early June.

Arraez (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With a team off day coming Monday, the Giants will give Arraez at least two days to recover from the right wrist contusion that forced him out of Saturday's 6-2 loss. Christian Koss will pick up a start at second base Sunday in Arraez's stead, but manager Tony Vitello said that he's targeting Tuesday's game in Cincinnati for Arraez's return to the lineup, per Slusser.

Yorke went 3-for-4 with a double and a walk Saturday against the Cubs.

Yorke has started four of the last five games at third base, with Nick Gonzales rotating around the infield. Yorke has taken advantage, going 8-for-18 in that span, highlighted by two doubles and a pair of three-hit performances. He looks to be the top option at third base for the time being in Pittsburgh, with Jared Triolo (knee) sidelined.

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

Marte started Arizona's first 15 games of the season but will take a seat Sunday after going 2-for-8 with a walk, a homer, three RBI and two runs through the first two contests in Philadelphia. Ildemaro Vargas will finish out the series at second base for the Diamondbacks while batting leadoff.

Julien went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base, two walks and two runs scored Saturday against the Padres.

Julien led off for the sixth consecutive game, and he continues to excel in the role. He has 10 hits across 21 at-bats in that span, driving in five with five runs scored and two stolen bases. While Julien began the season as a bench bat, he should continue to get regular run at second base and designated hitter so long as he remains productive.

The Giants announced that Arraez was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles due to a right wrist contusion, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Arraez was kicked in the right hand by Dylan Beavers while preparing to make a throw to first base in the fourth inning against Baltimore in Saturday. He initially stayed in the game after being looked at by a trainer and even singled in the following frame, but Christian Koss replaced him on defense at second base in the fifth frame. Arraez doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury, but it's unclear if he'll be back in the lineup Sunday.
