Stott is not in the starting lineup against the Cubs on Sunday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Garcia is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

India (knee) is starting at designated hitter and batting leadoff Sunday against the Yankees.

India exited Saturday's contest after he fouled a ball of his knee, but he avoided a major injury and is ready to go Sunday. The 26-year-old has recorded at least one hit in four out of the last five games, batting .250 with a double, an RBI and four runs scored over that stretch.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh.

Marte homered in the first inning to give the Diamondbacks an early and later had the first of back-to-back infield singles that resulted in a run. Prior to the second of the those infield hits, Marte and Josh Rojas executed a double steal, putting a runner in scoring position for Corbin Carroll to knock in. Marte has heated up in May, posting a .323 average (21-for-65) with 10 walks over 17 games.

Altuve went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk Saturday against the Athletics.

Altuve started his second game since returning from a thumb injury and led off the contest with a double before coming around to score. He also worked a two-out walk in the seventh inning, and he has earned a free pass in each of his appearances this season. Altuve will be a fixture atop Houston's order moving forward.

Gorman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Saturday in a 6-5 win against the Dodgers.

The game was tied 3-3 in the eighth inning when Gorman came up to the plate with two on and one out. The 23-year-old unknotted the score with a three-run blast to right field that ended up providing just enough of a margin to give the Cardinals the win. Gorman extended his hitting streak to 11 contests with Saturday's performance, and he's batting .432 (16-for-37) with six homers and 16 RBI over the red-hot stretch.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Hernandez was plunked by Joe Musgrove in the second inning, then stole second and scored on an Enmanuel Valdez home run. Hernandez also hit a leadoff double and scored in the fourth. The versatile 31-year-old has hit safely in three straight games since returning from a hamstring strain. He's slashing .243/.299/.355 with three home runs, two steals, 16 RBI and 24 runs scored through 41 contests this season.

Valdez went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Valdez had gone just 3-for-19 across his last nine games, playing in a strong-side platoon role. The infielder provided all the run support Chris Sale needed Saturday to earn the win. Valdez is slashing .293/.349/.517 with three long balls, 10 RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases through his first 63 major-league plate appearances.
