Suarez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mets.

Per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, Suarez had a pretty physical slide back into second base in Saturday's game during which his head collided with Jeff McNeil's knee on a pickoff play. He might be a little banged up, but the team has not announced an injury. Abraham Toro will start at third base while Mike Ford starts at designated hitter.

Candelario is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

He is hitting .255/.283/.471 with two home runs in 14 games this month. Harold Castro will start at third base and hit seventh.

Farmer (general soreness) is out of Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

The plan all along was to hold Farmer out of action through the weekend and take advantage of Monday's off day before a potential Tuesday return. Matt Reynolds is starting at shortstop and leading off.

Machado is not in Sunday's lineup against Atlanta, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

He gets a well-earned day off for the morning game (11:35 AM first pitch) following Saturday night's game. This is Machado's first day off of the season. He is hitting .359/.439/.586 with seven home runs and six steals in 34 games.

Urshela went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

Urshela knocked in both of Minnesota's runs in the contest, blasting a 434-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning and plating another run with an infield single in the 10th. It's been a quiet start to Urshela's tenure in Minnesota, as he's slashing a modest .232/.288/.313 across 111 plate appearances.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a victory over the Yankees on Saturday.

The third baseman's 424-foot solo blast in the third inning gave the White Sox an early 2-0 lead. It was the second long ball in three games for Moncada, who only recently returned from an oblique injury that cost him the first month of the season. He's slashing .286/.375/.571 over 23 plate appearances since his return.

Duffy (illness) was reinstated from the injured list prior to Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland.

Jack Mayfield was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move, so Duffy will take over those utility infielder duties. He hit .278 with zero home runs and zero steals in 36 at-bats prior to being placed on the IL.

Muncy will sit Saturday against the Phillies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Muncy's bat has yet to wake up this season, as he's hit just .147/.341/.295 with three homers through his first 30 games, though his 27:26 BB:K indicates he's still seeing the ball quite well. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Hanser Alberto starting at second and Justin Turner at third.

Walls has been added to the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls was expected to get a day off Saturday after he was a late addition to Friday's lineup, but he'll join the starting nine after Brandon Lowe (undisclosed) was a late scratch Saturday. Walls will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Miranda is starting Saturday's game against Cleveland.

The 23-year-old got a day off in Friday's series opener against the Guardians after starting in 10 consecutive games, but he'll return to the lineup at first base and bat sixth Saturday. Since Luis Arraez has spent plenty of time as the designated hitter recently, Miranda is in line to serve as Minnesota's primary first baseman after Alex Kirilloff was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. Miranda is hitting .128 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI and two runs to begin his major-league career.
