The Mets placed Mauricio (thumb) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, manager Carlos Mendoza said that Mauricio is headed for a CT scan and is facing an initial recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks. The Mets called up Vidal Brujan to provide another option at shortstop while Mauricio and Francisco Lindor (calf) are on the shelf, but Bo Bichette will start at the position Sunday in Anaheim and will likely see the bulk of the playing time at that spot.

Hoerner (neck) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Hoerner was removed from Friday's game after experiencing tightness on the left side of his neck and then remained on the bench Saturday as well, but he feels well enough to give it a go in the series finale. The 28-year-old opened the season as the Cubs' No. 5 hitter but has climbed into the leadoff spot after producing a .374 OBP through his first 32 games.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

With southpaw Justin Wrobleski on the bump for the Dodgers, the left-handed hitter will move to the bench. Ramon Urias will cover third base in place of Gorman, who went 1-for-8 with a two-run home run over the first two contests in the series.

Rengifo will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Nationals, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Rengifo had been scheduled to get Sunday off, but he'll instead make a fifth consecutive start as a result of Brice Turang (illness) being a late scratch. David Hamilton will slide over from third base to second base to make room in the lineup for Rengifo, who will replace Turang as the club's table setter.

Turang was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals due to an illness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The Brewers haven't indicated whether Turang will be available off the bench for the series finale in Washington, but the team may prefer to give him a full day to recover. David Hamilton had been scheduled to start at third base Sunday but will instead cover second base while Luis Rengifo mans the hot corner.

Black is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Black will hit the bench for a second straight day, this time sitting against a right-handed primary pitcher in Zack Littell after he was held out of the lineup against lefty Foster Griffin on Saturday. Though he's produced a 1.074 OPS in six games since being called up from Triple-A Nashville on April 24, Black could soon be headed back to the minors with Andrew Vaughn (hand) expected back from the injured list Monday.

Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Rengifo will hit the bench for the series finale in Washington after going 5-for-17 with two doubles, one walk and four RBI while starting in Milwaukee's last four contests. Joey Ortiz will enter the starting nine at shortstop while David Hamilton slides over to Rengifo's usual spot at third base.

Mauricio suffered a fractured left thumb in Saturday's loss to the Angels and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Mauricio suffered the injury diving into first base on an infield single in the top of the seventh inning. He was replaced on defense in the bottom half of the frame and now appears set to miss extended time. With Francisco Lindor (calf) out multiple weeks, the Mets are in a dire situation at shortstop after Mauricio was just called up last week to fill in for Lindor. Bo Bichette moved to shortstop Saturday following Mauricio's departure and could be in line to fill in there for the immediate future.

Lowe went 1-for-1 with four walks, one RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Reds.

The Pirates walked 11 times as a team Saturday, with Lowe leading the way by drawing four free passes. He also delivered an RBI single in the first frame, and he was ultimately pulled in the seventh inning thanks to a nine-run lead. Lowe has at least one hit in four of his last five games, going 5-for-16 with two RBI and four runs scored in that span.

Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored during the Giants' 5-1 loss to the Rays on Saturday.

Arraez was responsible for three of the Giants' seven hits Saturday, and he was brought home in the sixth inning on an RBI double from Rafael Devers. Arraez is up to 12 multi-hit games on the season and has logged three hits in four of those outings. He ranks in the top 10 in the National League this season in batting average (.317) and hits (40) across 136 plate appearances.
