India (quadricep) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

India will head to the bench after he was removed in the sixth inning of Saturday's 6-3 loss due to right quad tightness, an injury the 28-year-old disclosed that he had been nursing for a few days before aggravating it while running the bases, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. After the game, India downplayed any concern about the issue and said that he expected to be available off the bench Sunday even if he didn't start. Maikel Garcia will pick up the start at third base and serve as the Royals' leadoff hitter Sunday.

Wagner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Wagner's streak of four consecutive starts will come to an end as the left-handed-hitting infielder heads to the bench while the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the mound. Ernie Clement will step in for Wagner at third base and bat seventh.

Pauley is not in Miami's starting lineup against Washington on Sunday.

The lefty-hitting Pauley will retreat to the dugout with the Nationals sending southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the mound. Javier Sanoja will start at the hot corner and bat eighth. Pauley has gone 5-for-32 with one walk, two runs scored and two RBI since the beginning of April.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Angels.

Paredes broke up the Angels' shutout bid with two outs in the eighth inning, launching a Ryan Zeferjahn sweeper into the Crawford boxes. It's the second homer in as many days for Paredes. After starting the year 3-for-23 (.130), the 26-year-old Paredes has gone 12-for-31 (.387) with a 1.038 OPS over his last seven contests.

Workman went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 16-0 win over the Dodgers. He also stole a base.

Workman didn't enter the contest until the sixth inning, but he still managed to rattle off two hits, which were his first at the MLB level. The 25-year-old also recorded his first MLB stolen base and RBI. Workman isn't seeing consistent playing time as a utility option for the Cubs, so he's mostly off the fantasy radar for now, but an injury to a Chicago starter could give him an opportunity to better showcase his abilities.

The Twins optioned Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Miranda will head to Triple-A after slashing an abysmal .167/.167/.250 over his 36 plate appearances on the season while offering little value in the field or on the basepaths. The Twins reinstated infielder Brooks Lee (back) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Marte started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a single and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Marte made his first start since being called up earlier this week. He singled in the seventh inning and scored the Reds' final run. It's unclear what Cincinnati manager Terry Francona has planned for Marte in terms of playing time, as there's a crowd at third base with Jeimer Candelario and Gavin Lux also in the mix.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro described India's quad tightness as "mild" following Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Quatraro said India was eventually removed from the game because it wasn't loosening up throughout the contest. India will presumably undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. India went 0-for-2 at the plate with one walk before being replaced by Drew Waters in the sixth inning.

Urias singled in his lone at-bat Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Urias came off the bench as a pinch hitter for Ryan O'Hearn in the eighth inning and singled on a groundball before being replaced by Jorge Mateo as a pinch runner. While Urias is batting .343 with one double, five RBI and four walks over 39 plate appearances so far this season, he remains likely to struggle for at-bats while Gunnar Henderson, Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday are all healthy in the Orioles' infield.

India left Saturday's game against Cleveland in the sixth inning due to right quadriceps tightness, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Per Anne Rogers of MLB.com, India looked to be in discomfort in the dugout after running out his groundout in the third inning, but he stayed in the game before being removed in the sixth. India will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.
