Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Rojas started the previous three games but will head to the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 5-for-35 slump. Miguel Vargas will shift to the hot corner while Ryan Noda starts at first base in the series finale at Colorado.

Rogers (2-0) earned the win Sunday in Atlanta, allowing four hits and two walks over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Rogers gave up a leadoff infield single to Jurickson Profar to start the game before holding Atlanta without another hit until the sixth inning. It was another excellent outing for Rogers, who's allowed just two runs across 20 innings in his last two starts. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 1.57 with a 0.87 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB through his first five starts (28.2 innings) this season. Rogers is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Marlins, his former team, in his next outing.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties for Minnesota while Jeffers receives a breather after starting the previous two contests. After going 0-for-18 in his previous six games, Jeffers broke out of his slump Saturday with three base hits.

Lee will start at second base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Rays.

The Twins sent Lee to the bench for the previous two contests, but he came up big in a reserve role Saturday, going 1-for-2 with a walk-off RBI bunt single in a 6-5 win. Lee will rejoin the starting nine for the series finale, but he'll likely need to raise his production at the plate to ensure he maintains a regular spot in the lineup over Harrison Bader, who will head to the bench after making four straight starts. Over his last seven games, Lee has gone 3-for-19 with no walks and seven strikeouts, bringing his slash line down to .272/.306/.402 for the season.

Holliday went 4-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer in Sunday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

Holliday was the lone Oriole with more than one hit in the game, and his biggest was a two-run blast off Grant Holmes in the third inning that proved to be the difference in a one-run victory. It's the second career four-hit game for Holliday, who had gone just 3-for-25 (.120) in his prior six contests coming into Sunday. Overall, the 21-year-old second baseman is slashing .260/.309/.415 with 11 homers, 36 RBI, 35 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 346 plate appearances.

France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

For the second day in a row, France will head to the bench against a righty starter in Drew Rasmussen. The Twins haven't indicated that France is dealing with an injury, so he could simply be moving into the short side of a platoon at first base with the left-handed-hitting Kody Clemens. Since his six-game hitting streak came to an end June 7, France is slashing a woeful .209/.269/.337 with two home runs, 10 runs and nine RBI over 26 games.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Jansen will receive a routine breather Sunday after he had started behind the plate in the first two games of the series. Matt Thaiss will replace Jansen as the Rays' starting catcher.

Rice is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Rice will head to the bench after starting three of the last four games and going 4-for-15 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two runs. The Yankees will open Sunday's contest with Austin Wells behind the plate, Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Giancarlo Stanton as their designated hitter.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The Guardians are going with a righty-heavy lineup to counter Tarik Skubal, so Naylor will join Kyle Manzardo, Nolan Jones and Daniel Schneemann on the bench. Austin Hedges will fill in behind the plate.

Jones is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The Guardians are going with a righty-heavy lineup to counter Tarik Skubal, so Jones will join Kyle Manzardo, Bo Naylor and Daniel Schneemann on the bench. Johnathan Rodriguez will replace Jones as the starting right fielder.
