Lowe went 2-for-4 with a homer, five RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-0 win over the Athletics.

Lowe didn't produce many counting stats over his first five games of the season, but he was dominant over the last two games after getting a pair of days to rest. He blasted a grand slam in the bottom of the fourth inning during Sunday's series finale to help the Rays cruise to an 11-0 win, keeping the team undefeated over the first nine games of the year. The 28-year-old now has a 1.035 OPS with two homers, eight runs and eight RBI over seven games in 2023.

Semien went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Semien knocked a two-run double during the Rangers' four-run second inning and later added an RBI single in the sixth. It was his second straight game with a double after five consecutive outings with no extra-base knocks. Semien is slashing .231/.244/.359 with six RBI and a 1:9 BB:K through 41 plate appearances.

Garcia (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Rockies.

Garcia will miss at least one more game after being pulled from Friday's contest with tightness in his hamstring. Ildemaro Vargas will get the start at second base and hit eighth against Ryan Feltner and the Colorado pitching staff for Sunday's series finale.

Marte is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers.

Marte will receive a day of rest against the Dodgers on Sunday after going 3-for-5 with a homer and three runs scored in Saturday's victory for the Diamondbacks. Geraldo Perdomo will get the start at second base and hit eighth for the series finale.

Hoerner went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Rangers.

Hoerner has been a solid leadoff man for the Cubs with a .333 batting average and three stolen bases through seven games. The new MLB rules that encourage base stealing seem to be benefitting the shortstop, and he could surpass last year's career-best total of 20 steals fairly quickly at this rate. That gives Hoerner plenty of fantasy value, though he's still seeking his first home run of the season.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With a tough southpaw in Nestor Cortes taking the hill for the Yankees in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Frazier will bow out of the starting nine. Ramon Urias will step in for Frazier at second base.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

The shortstop did his job from the two-hole for the Guardians, but the rest of the team's one through five hitters went a combined 2-for-16 around him, giving Rosario few opportunities to turn his hits into run production. Rosario's double was his first extra-base hit of the year, and he's batting .244 (10-for-41) through nine games with three runs, three RBI and two steals.

Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-5 win against Toronto.

Rengifo has gotten off to a slow start this season, batting .167 through his first 31 plate appearances. However, he's at least shown good plate discipline with a 6:3 BB:K, and he notched both his first long ball and his first theft Saturday. Rengifo has started all but one of the Angels' eight contests thus far, so he appears to have an everyday role despite the team's crowded infield this season.

Marte went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and three total runs in Saturday's 12-8 win over the Dodgers.

Los Angeles took a four-run lead after the first half-inning, but Arizona began to claw back in the bottom of the frame when Marte scored following a one-out double. The Diamondbacks then claimed the lead in the second when Marte's two-run shot made it 5-4. The second baseman's big game raised his season slash line to .243/.263/.459, and he's now gotten at least one hit in six straight games.

Lowe went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, three walks and four runs scored in Saturday's win over Oakland.

Lowe extended the Rays' lead to 9-0 with a three-run blast to center that scored Francisco Mejia and Yandy Diaz in the sixth. With the long ball, Lowe delivered his first homer and first three RBI of the campaign.
