Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Pauley had started the Marlins' last four games, but he'll take a seat against Tarik Skubal. He'll be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Owen Caissie and Liam Hicks.

Durbin went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over St. Louis.

Durbin was part of Boston's five-run ninth inning, the team's highest scoring inning of the season. His two-run single made it a 5-1 game, and he scored the final run. Durbin has at least one RBI in three of the last four games, but his .114/.188/.136 slash line has been a drag on the Red Sox.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Hayes started the first two contests of the series versus the Halos and will take a seat for Sunday's finale with his hitless streak now extended to five games. Eugenio Suarez will step in at third base while Nathaniel Lowe receives a start at designated hitter.

Smith went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and two RBI in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

Smith accounted for four of Houston's 17 knocks in the high-scoring loss. Though two of his hits were doubles, both of his RBI came on a single in the third frame. Smith has four multi-hit games so far this season and is slashing .302/.393/.547 with four doubles, three homers, eight RBI, 10 runs and three stolen bases through 15 contests.

Machado went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run against the Rockies in a 9-5 victory Saturday.

Machado's third-inning, two-run blast pulled the Padres to within a run after Colorado built a big early lead. The star third baseman has struggled to get his bat going, hitting just .193 through 14 games, so he'll look to Saturday's homer to spark a hot streak. Machado does have a 13:12 BB:K this season, and he's managed to get on base at a .367 clip despite the low batting average.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Giants.

Henderson broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning with a solo shot off Logan Webb before adding a stolen base in the seventh. The 24-year-old shortstop has now homered in four of his past five games while recording a double in the lone exception during that stretch. Henderson is off to a strong start this year, slashing .246/.348/.614 with six home runs, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across 66 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, two stolen bases and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over Atlanta.

Ramirez opened the scoring with a solo blast in the first inning before notching his first multi-steal effort of the season. It was a much-needed performance for the 33-year-old, who entered the contest just 8-for-53 on the year. Through 65 plate appearances, he's now slashing .175/.277/.333 with two home runs, seven RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases while maintaining a solid 8:9 BB:K.

Bichette went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two walks in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Athletics.

It was a much-needed jolt for Bichette, who blasted his first homer of the year Saturday. The three RBI were also a season high, and the infielder is certainly beginning to find a groove at the dish following a 2-for-22 start to the season in March. Since the beginning of April, however, Bichette has hit safely in nine of his 10 games while batting .333 with three extra-base hits and six RBI.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Royals' 2-0 win over the White Sox on Saturday.

Garcia gave the Royals an immediate 1-0 lead after taking the first pitch he saw from Erick Fedde deep to left-center field for a leadoff homer, and the former came across to score again in the eighth on a sacrifice fly from Vinnie Pasquantino. Garcia has collected at least one hit in 12 of his first 15 games of the season and is slashing .328/.394/.517 with one steal, five doubles, two home runs and eight RBI through 66 plate appearances.

Rumfield isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego.

Rumfield will grab a seat on the bench after going 1-for-9 with three strikeouts across the first two games of the series. Troy Johnston will move to first base to cover for Rumfield while Jordan Beck, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak start in the outfield.
