D'Arnaud is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets.

D'Arnaud was off to a hot start during his tenure with the Braves, but has fizzled out of late and has seems to have lost his starting job to Adonis Garcia, who will start for the third straight game. Furthermore, Jace Peterson seems to have settled in as the Braves' everyday option at second baseman and as their leadoff hitter, closing off another avenue to playing time for d'Arnaud.

Ahmed is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

Ahmed will effectively sit for the third time in four games, giving way to Jean Segura at shortstop with Brandon Drury at second. A .576 OPS simply isn't cutting it for Ahmed, so look for him to continue to lose playing time until he shows signs of turning things around (if he even gets that chance).

Baez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.

Baez has made it into the starting lineup for four straight games (at three separate positions), but he'll take a seat for Sunday's afternoon matchup with Jose Fernandez and the Marlins. The young infielder was 0-for-4 with a strikeout Saturday to snap a two-game hitting streak, and is batting .268 in the month of June.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with two solo homers in Saturday's 6-0 victory over the Tigers.

The talented shortstop's line is now up to .306/.365/.471 following Saturday's performance, which also marked his first multi-homer game of the season. Lindor had come into Saturday having gone 0-for-10 in the previous three games, but was able to bounce back with what was eighth multi-hit effort of June. He's also now exceeded both his homer and RBI totals from May in the current month.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, a walk and two RBI against the Royals on Saturday.

Correa's 12th blast of the year capped off a seven-run second inning that led the Astros to an easy road victory. He now has seven extra-base hits over his last four games to raise his slash line to .265/.363/.467.

Seager went 4-for-5 with a double, RBI and run in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.

The 22-year-old phenom hit a run-scoring single in the fifth inning as part of an effort that extended his hitting streak to eight games. Seager also has multi-hit appearances in five of his last six contests and has his impressive June line up to .349/.409/.663 with seven home runs over 83 at-bats.

Ahmed is out of the lineup again Friday against the Rockies.

Ahmed got the day off Thursday and will be out of the lineup again Friday, as Jean Segura will leadoff at shortstop and Phil Gosselin is stationed at second. Throughout the 2016 season, Ahmed is batting .211/.258/.313 with four home runs and 19 RBI.

Story is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Story will be getting a day off as Cristhian Adames gets the start at shortstop. The 23-year-old has started the past 13 games for the Rockies and is having another solid month for the club, batting .273/.341/.494 with four home runs and 12 RBI in June.

Mondesi (suspension) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wilmington.

The highly-touted Mondesi is nearing a return from his 50-game PED suspension and he'll get back to game action Saturday. Once he gets a few games under his belt, Mondesi is expected to return to Double-A Northwest Arkansas on July 4 to resume his season. Mondesi was off to an excellent start to the season at the plate prior to his suspension, clubbing five home runs while racking up 11 stolen bases over his first 104 at-bats.

Giron is batting just .180 with only three stolen bases and no home runs through 57 games for Low-A Fort Wayne.

Giron has struggled this season after a solid 2015 where he hit .285 with nine homers as a starting shortstop in Fort Wayne. He'll need to show drastic improvement in order to advance through the minors and fulfill his potential.
