Rojas will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.

With Andy Pages getting the day off and Tommy Edman filling in as the Dodgers' starting center fielder, Rojas will draw into the lineup for the ninth time in 17 games on the season, covering Edman's usual spot at the keystone. Three of Rojas' starts came during the first three games of the season when Mookie Betts was battling an illness, but Rojas' playing time will likely be more sporadic now that Los Angeles is at full strength in both the infield and outfield.

Herrera will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

He'll pick up his sixth start of the season while top backstop Gabriel Moreno rests for the day game after a night game. Herrera enters Sunday's contest with a .214 average and one home run over 14 at-bats on the season.

Suzuki (wrist) is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Suzuki left in the fifth inning of Saturday's contest after experiencing pain in his right wrist, which he originally injured against the Rangers this past Monday. Justin Turner will serve as the designated hitter and bat third against Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow in the series finale.

Iglesias will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Iglesias will pick up his fifth straight start Sunday, including his fourth in a row at the keystone. He looks set to serve as the Padres' everyday second baseman until Jake Cronenworth (rib) returns from the 10-day injured list.

Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Freeman returned from the 10-day injured list Friday, and in his first two games back in action, he went 1-for-6 with one run scored and three strikeouts. The Dodgers haven't indicated that Freeman is dealing with any setbacks with his surgically repaired right ankle, so his absence from the lineup Sunday is presumably a rest day. Enrique Hernandez will step in for Freeman at first base and will bat eighth.

Pages is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Pages went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. He'll begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Tommy Edman shifts to center field and Miguel Rojas starts at second base.

Siri could be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left shin contusion, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Siri had to be carted off the field after fouling a ball off his left leg Saturday against the Athletics. Initial tests didn't reveal any structural damage, but the 29-year-old outfielder is still using crutches and is in pain. Siri will continue to undergo testing, and if a stint on the IL is warranted, the Mets will look to Triple-A Syracuse for outfield depth.

Senger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Senger had started behind the dish in six of the previous seven games, but he'll likely see his playing time take a hit now that Luis Torrens has recovered from a bruised forearm. Senger may soon find himself off the 26-man active roster entirely, as Francisco Alvarez (hand) has already begun a minor-league rehab assignment and is nearing reinstatement from the 10-day injured list.

Thomas is not in Arizona's starting lineup against Milwaukee on Sunday.

Thomas is coming off a two-hit outing against the Brewers on Saturday, but he'll begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Jake McCarthy starts in center field and bats seventh. Thomas has started the season slashing .323/.371/.516 with five runs scored, two triples and eight RBI across 35 plate appearances.

Moreno is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup against the Brewers on Sunday.

Moreno will rest for the series finale while Jose Herrera starts behind home plate and bats ninth against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. Moreno has gone 1-for-12 with two walks, one run scored and three strikeouts over his last four starts.
