Lewis was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul by the Twins on Sunday and is starting in center field against the Royals, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 22-year-old was optioned to St. Paul on May 18 when Carlos Correa (finger) returned from the injured list, and he's now back in Minnesota after spending less that two weeks in the minors. Lewis moved around the diamond while back at Triple-A and saw playing time at shortstop, third base, left field and center field, and he's poised to fill a utility role now that he's back in the majors. He hit .308/.325/.564 with two home runs, four doubles, five RBI and five runs over his first 11 big-league games.

Arenado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

He'll take a seat for only the third time in the Cardinals' 47 games on the season, paving the way for Edmundo Sosa to pick up a start at third base. Arenado's move to the bench comes after he went 0-for-13 at the dish over the past four contests, dropping his season average to .271.

Moncada (quadriceps) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Moncada is out of the lineup for the third consecutive game as he continues to manage quadriceps soreness. It's not believed to be a serious injury, but a trip to the injured list becomes more likely the longer he sits out. For what it's worth, manager Tony La Russa said that he's hopeful that with the benefit of Monday's team off day, Moncada will be ready to go for Tuesday's series opener in Toronto, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Duffy went 4-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in Saturday's loss to Toronto.

Duffy knocked in the Angels' first run with a fifth-inning double and scored the team's final run in the ninth inning. The four-hit game was his first of the campaign and boosted his season average to .290. Duffy has gone 7-for-14 and scored three runs over his past four games.

Candelario is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Candelario is 2-for-22 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and nine strikeouts over his past seven games, and he will head to the bench Sunday. Harold Castro will man the hot corner in his place.

Reynolds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

He'll be on the bench for the first time since May 19, ending a streak of nine consecutive starts in which he went 8-for-30 (.267 average) with two doubles, a triple, a stolen base, three walks, five RBI and four runs. With Cincinnati recently electing to option Colin Moran to Triple-A Louisville, Reynolds should be well-positioned for a near-everyday role in the Reds infield until Jonathan India (hamstring) is cleared to return from the injured list at some point in June.

Mead (illness) has gone 2-for-9 with a walk in his two games for Double-A Montgomery since being reinstated from the affiliate's COVID-19-related injured list Thursday.

Mead missed just under two weeks of action after testing positive for the virus in mid-May. The 21-year-old corner infielder has been a standout performer for Montgomery in 2022, slashing .286/.386/.496 with four home runs and a stolen base.

Hayes went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in a 4-2 victory over San Diego on Saturday.

Hayes singled in the third and fifth innings before connecting on a go-ahead three-run shot off Taylor Rogers in the top of the ninth for his second three-hit game this week. Surprisingly enough, the long ball was the 25-year-old's first, as his first 11 extra-base hits were all doubles, and his .092 isolated power ranks bottom 25 in the league. Hayes has never been a huge power threat with 11 homers in 120 games prior to this season.

Burger went 3-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Cubs.

The White Sox offense was mostly shut down Saturday, as the team totaled only seven hits. Burger was responsible for nearly half of those, collecting a pair of singles and a fifth-inning solo homer that accounted for the team's only run. He had been on a cold streak entering the contest, going 1-for-12 over his previous four games.

LeMahieu (wrist) went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Rays.

LeMahieu missed four games due to left wrist discomfort. He batted leadoff Saturday and played the full game at third base. He was in a bit of a skid prior to missing time, but he snapped the slump with his first-inning double Saturday. For the season, he's slashing .250/.327/.378 with three home runs, 17 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles and a stolen base in 165 plate appearances.
