Miranda went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and a hit-by-pitch in a 9-1 win Sunday in Detroit.

Miranda drove in a run after being beaned in the first, singled and scored in both the seventh and eighth innings and drove in a run with a single in the ninth. It was the rookie's third three-hit game of the season. After struggling in his first month in the big leagues, the 24-year-old has produced a .322/.370/.534 line with six homers in 127 plate appearances dating back to June 3. All three of his hits came against right-handed pitchers, albeit the last one coming off a position player, raising his average to .252 against righties.

Escobar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Escobar is 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in the first two games out of the All-Star break, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Luis Guillorme will man the hot corner and bat eighth for New York.

Longoria (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The veteran third baseman sustained the hamstring strain during Saturday's contest and will be out for at least the next 10 days. According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Longoria doesn't expect to face a lengthy absence, and more clarity about his return timeline should come after undergoing an MRI on Monday.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a double in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.

Urias has hit safely in 11 of his last 13 games, surging to a .413/.438/.739 slash line in that span. He provided some insurance Saturday with a two-run blast in the eighth inning to extend the Orioles' lead to three. The infielder has a career-high 10 homers with 34 RBI, 32 runs scored, 13 doubles and a .264/.308/.459 slash line in 238 plate appearances. His recent surge has earned him a near-everyday role since he returned from an oblique injury in early July.

Asudillo had his contract selected by the Marlins and will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 30-year-old was designated for assignment and outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville by Miami in late June, but he'll rejoin the big-league club Sunday with Brian Anderson (shoulder) headed to the injured list. Astudillo has a .270/.289/.351 slash line with one home run, four RBI and five runs in 17 games this year for the Marlins.

Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a sprained left shoulder, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 29-year-old underwent an MRI after suffering the injury on an attempted dive Saturday, and he'll be forced to miss some time with a sprain. Anderson had two separate stints on the IL last year due to issues with the same shoulder, and it's unclear how long he's expected to be out this time. Joey Wendle should see more playing time against left-handed pitching while Anderson is sidelined, and Luke Williams should also have an increased role.

Arenado, who is starting at third base Sunday against the Reds, won't be able to travel with the Cardinals for the two-game series versus the Blue Jays this week due to his vaccination status, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado is 5-for-10 with three doubles and a run in the first two games of the second half and can add to that production Sunday, but he won't be able to join the team in Toronto on Tuesday since he's apparently unvaccinated. Paul Goldschmidt cannot travel for the same reason, so the Cardinals will be missing their two best players for the two-game set versus the Blue Jays. The pair will be moved to the injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener.

Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the White Sox.

Ramirez will get a breather Sunday after he went 3-for-12 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored over the first three games of the series. Ernie Clement will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee.

McMahon is 0-for-10 with six strikeouts in the first two games out of the All-Star break, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's contest. Garrett Hampson will handle starting duties at third base against Brewers lefty Eric Lauer.

Donaldson will sit Sunday versus the Orioles.

Donaldson will get a breather after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's loss. DJ LeMahieu will start at third base while Joey Gallo enters the lineup in left field after some shuffling and will bat ninth in the series finale.
