Lux went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Saturday's 13-3 win over the Royals.

Lux knocked in the Dodgers' fourth run of the the first inning with a single to right field, and he followed with a 431-foot solo shot to center in the third. The long ball ended a nearly month-long homer drought for the 24-year-old, though he's otherwise been fine with a .297/.384/.459 slash line since July 15. Lux's lack of power (he has just five homers on the campaign) hurts his fantasy value, but he's still worth rostering in most leagues given his .299 batting average and seven stolen bases on the campaign.

Gorman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, according to John Denton of MLB.com.

Gorman has faced a southpaw just 19 times all season, so it should come as little surprise that he is sitting Sunday with left-hander Aaron Ashby on the mound for the opponent. Albert Pujols will enter the lineup in Gorman's place.

Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Massey has been a regular in the lineup since being called up by Kansas City on Aug. 3, and he'll step out of the starting nine Sunday after producing an .809 OPS with five RBI, three runs and a stolen base across nine games. Nicky Lopez will start at the keystone while Bobby Witt lines up at shortstop in the series finale versus Los Angeles.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Toronto.

Gimenez started the past seven games and will receive a day off after hitting .423 with a double, an RBI, four runs and four stolen bases during that stretch. Owen Miller will step in at the keystone Sunday for Cleveland.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles due to shoulder soreness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 28-year-old was on the bench against Baltimore lefty DL Hall on Saturday and will sit again Sunday due to the shoulder issue. It's unclear when the injury first surfaced, but Lowe has recently struggled at the plate, going 1-for-20 with 10 strikeouts over his past five contests. Yu Chang will start at the keystone and bat sixth in the series finale versus the Orioles.

Garcia (groin) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, according to Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com.

Garcia has dealt with a couple leg injuries of late, and he will be held out Sunday for a second straight day. Ildemaro Vargas will handle the shortstop duties in Garcia's place.

India (lower leg) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

India's injury prevented him from playing Saturday, and it will force him to the bench again one day later. Donovan Solano will man the keystone for the Reds on Sunday.

Kim is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim is riding a six-game hitting streak and has doubled in five straight appearances, but he also started the last 21 games, so manager Bob Melvin decided it was time for a day off. Jake Cronenworth will man the shortstop position Sunday for the Padres.

Arraez went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Angels.

This was Arraez's fourth three-hit effort in his last five games as he continues to excel at making good contact. He's added two of his four steals this season in that short span. The 25-year-old's surge has lifted his slash line to .337/.402/.446 with six home runs, 37 RBI and 61 runs scored through 100 contests this year.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with a home run, a stolen base and three RBI in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Rockies.

Rojas accounted for half of the Diamondbacks' offense with a two-run home run in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the ninth. He also logged a steal after a single in the seventh. The 28-year-old hadn't gone yard since July 27, but he's up to three steals in August. For the season, Rojas sports a .276/.348/.410 slash line, seven homers, 35 RBI, 46 runs scored and 14 steals through 333 plate appearances. He's seen most of his playing time at third base this year, but the versatile defender could move around the diamond if manager Torey Lovullo opts to get the hot-hitting Emmanuel Rivera in the lineup more often.
