Triolo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Triolo's streak of 10 consecutive starts will come to an end, and with Konnor Griffin returning from the injured list Friday, Triolo appears headed back to a utility role. The 28-year-old infielder has a career-low .592 OPS through 167 plate appearances this season.

Lindor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The Mets are easing Lindor back into a full-time role after he returned from the injured list June 24 following a two-month stay on the shelf due to a left calf strain. He'll sit for the second time in five games since his reinstatement, giving way to Bo Bichette at shortstop as Mark Vientos handles third base. Through his first three starts back, Lindor has gone 2-for-12 with a triple, a walk, two RBI and a run.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over Toronto.

Seager, who returned from a stay on the injured list Thursday, returned to the starting lineup after getting a day off Friday. His sixth-inning home run was Seager's 10th of the season.

De La Cruz batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 with a walk in Saturday's 9-6 win over Pittsburgh.

De La Cruz moved from second in the order to leadoff, as Blake Dunn (elbow) was held out Saturday. Dunn's condition has not yet been determined, so De La Cruz could remain atop the order until Dunn is ready to return. In four games back from the injured list, De La Cruz is 1-for-14 with three walks, one RBI and one run scored.

Perdomo went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Rays.

Perdomo scored a run in the first inning after swatting a double. Since moving up to second in the order 11 games ago, Perdomo is batting .250 with a .388 on-base percentage (nine walks) and seven runs scored. After a rocky first two months, Perdomo has rebounded in June, slashing .293/.408/.390 over 24 games this month.

Triolo went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Reds.

Triolo was involved in several rallies Saturday and tallied his second three-hit game of the season. He had been serving as Pittsburgh's primary shortstop while Konnor Griffin was on the shelf for nearly a month, but with Griffin returning to action Friday, Triolo is expected to shift back to a utility infield role and see a steady drop in playing time.

Betts went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 15-3 win over the Padres.

Betts has homered in three straight contests, giving him 11 long balls on the year. His blast Saturday capped a nine-run sixth inning for the Dodgers to put them in full control in this blowout win. Betts is now batting .230 with a .732 OPS, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, one stolen base and seven doubles over 209 plate appearances on the year, but he has trended up by hitting .358 (19-for-53) with five homers over his last 13 games.

Wilson (shoulder) isn't starting against the Angels on Saturday, but he's available off the bench and could be back in the starting lineup Sunday, Michael Huntley of the Orange County Register reports.

Wilson is beginning on the bench for the third straight game while nursing a left shoulder issue. However, manager Mark Kotsay indicated before the contest that the 24-year-old infielder won't need an IL stint and could come off the bench Saturday. Alika Williams is starting at shortstop for a third consecutive contest, but it sounds like that run could end with Wilson's potential return Sunday.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

Lindor tied things up with a two-run triple before scoring what proved to be the game-winning run in the sixth inning. In three games since returning from the injured list Wednesday, the 32-year-old has gone 2-for-12 and has yet to strike out. On the season, he's slashing .219/.305/.352 with seven extra-base hits, seven RBI, 15 runs scored and two steals across just 118 plate appearances.

Pena went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Tigers.

The shortstop continues to rake in June. Over 24 games this month, Pena is batting .326 (28-for-86) with five doubles, three homers, five steals, 13 RBI and 18 runs as he makes up for lost time after missing more than a month earlier in the season due to a hamstring strain.
