  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Tests on hand scheduled Monday

    Rojas (hand) will have a CT scan Monday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

    He was scratched from Saturday's lineup with a bruised left hand and wasn't in Sunday's lineup, but Rojas appeared in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement. The fact he was healthy enough to enter the game but still has tests on tap is a bit curious, but we should get a better idea how serious the injury is on Monday.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Steals base, drives in two Sunday

    Story went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Marlins.

    Story moved back in to a tie with Reds infielder Eugenio Suarez for the NL lead with 58 RBI Sunday. The stolen base was his 10th of the year, his first time reaching double digits in that category. The 25-year-old shortstop owns a solid .264/.332/.518 slash line after batting .239 and leading the NL with 191 strikeouts in 2017.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Returns to lineup Sunday

    Baez is starting at second base and batting third in Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Baez got Saturday off as a regular rest day, but he's back in there Sunday. The 25-year-old will also slide into the No. 3 slot in the lineup for just the fifth time this season with Kris Bryant (shoulder) out of the lineup for the second straight day. Baez enters Sunday slashing .265/.308/.527 with 14 home runs and a team-high 49 RBI.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: On bench Sunday

    Swanson gets a day off Sunday against the Orioles.

    It's Swanson's first time out of the lineup since returning from the disabled list over a month ago. The shortstop is hitting just .195 over that 32-game stretch. Johan Camargo will start at shortstop Sunday.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Rips three XBH in Saturday's win

    Crawford went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Padres.

    His two-run double in the sixth inning broke open a 1-1 tie and gave the Giants a lead they wouldn't relinquish, but Crawford was locked in all afternoon. The performance broke an 0-for-18 mini-slump over his prior five games, bumping the 31-year-old's slash line back up to a robust .313/.368/.498.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Dealing with sore hand

    Rojas was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a bruised left hand, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas should be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's series finale while he recovers from this minor injury. Across 74 games this year, he's hitting .248/.311/.358 with seven home runs, 28 RBI and three stolen bases.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Day off Saturday

    Camargo is not in the lineup against Baltimore on Saturday.

    Camargo will be stationed on the bench after going 2-for-6 with a double and one RBI during Friday's loss. In his absence, Ryan Flaherty will man the hot corner.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Scratched from Saturday's lineup

    Rojas was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

    At this point, there has been no reason given for Rojas's removal, but the Marlins will likely clear things up within the next couple hours. In his place, Derek Dietrich entered the lineup in the outfield and Brian Anderson shifted to an infield role.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: On bench Saturday

    Arcia is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis.

    With Brad Miller recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs, Arcia could be in line for a diminished role, especially if he continues to struggle at the dish. He's hitting just .201/.234/.259 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 60 games this year.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Baez is out of the lineup versus Cincinnati on Saturday.

    Manager Joe Maddon wanted to give Baez a day off sometime this weekend in order to keep the 25-year-old fresh, so look for him to rejoin the starting nine during Sunday's series finale. In his place, Ben Zobrist will man second base and bat third in the order.
