Seager (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Though he will again be held out of the starting lineup, manager Dave Roberts announced Seager is "feeling considerably better" and has a chance to make a pinch-hit appearance Sunday. It certainly sounds like the star shortstop won't require a trip to the disabled list. Enrique Hernandez will draw the start in his stead.

Story is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Story continues to scuffle at the plate this season, slashing just .224/.309/.414 on the season. He'll get the day off with Pat Valaika drawing the start at shortstop.

Gordon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Gordon has started the Marlins' previous 11 games -- raising his average from .279 to .291 during that stretch -- but will head to the bench for a day of rest ahead of the series finale against lefty Mike Montgomery and the Cubs. Derek Dietrich takes over at second base, batting seventh.

Cordoba left Saturday's game after he was hit in the left wrist by an Anibal Sanchez pitch during his first at-bat.

Cordoba appeared to be in considerable pain as he left the field and was diagnosed with a contusion by trainers, though further evaluations will likely come to light in due time. Chase d'Arnaud took over at shortstop upon the 21-year-old's departure.

Manager Dave Roberts said an MRI revealed Seager has a Grade 1 hamstring strain and will be day-to-day moving forward, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Fantasy owners can breathe a sigh of relief it's nothing more serious, though the young slugger may be out through the weekend as he recovers. Look for Enrique Hernandez to see the majority of time at shortstop while Seager is on the mend.

Seager (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Seager was lifted from Friday's game with a hamstring injury, and while the preliminary diagnosis was a cramp, the Dodgers did schedule an MRI to determine the full extent of the issue. The results have not yet been disclosed. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at shortstop Saturday.

Diaz is not in the lineup Saturday against the Pirates, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Diaz is just 1-for-8 with three strikeouts over his last three games, so he'll head to the bench for a breather. Paul DeJong will slide over to start at shortstop for Diaz, allowing Greg Garcia to notch a start at the keystone.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

DeJong's 405-foot blast to right, his second in as many games, gave the Cardinals a 3-2 lead they would ultimately relinquish. The 23-year-old has displayed excellent pop in June, smacking four round trippers over his last seven games alone and adding a pair of two-baggers during the month as well. Factoring in Friday's production, DeJong's average and slugging are up to a solid .264 and .528, respectively, but the fact he's only drawn one walk in 73 plate appearances has his OBP at an unsightly .274.

Seager left Friday's game with a hamstring cramp, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Fantasy owners and Dodgers fans alike can breathe a sigh of relief. When Seager grabbed at his hamstring rounding first base, it was easy to assume the worst. Seager should still be considered questionable for Saturday's game, but it doesn't sound like a disabled list trip will be required.

Seager was forced to leave Friday's game with an apparent leg injury, SBNation.com reports.

Seager advanced to second base on a second-inning RBI single but pulled up and grabbed the back of his right leg on the way there. It appeared to be a hamstring injury by Seager's reaction, but we'll have to wait for an update from the Dodgers medical staff to know for sure. If so, though, the Dodgers could be losing one of their best players to the disabled list. For now, consider him day-to-day.
