Gurriel is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Gurriel made 18 consecutive starts but has a .599 OPS over his past six games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Colorado. Tim Tawa will instead start in left field and bat seventh for the Diamondbacks.

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

Nootbaar had started each of the Cardinals' last five contests, going 5-for-18 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs and a 4:5 BB:K. Though the lefty hitter appears to have settled back into a groove at the plate, he'll still get held out against select southpaws. Nootbaar will give up his spot in the outfield to Jordan Walker on Sunday with Andrew Abbott on the hill.

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

Scott owns a .498 OPS over 80 plate appearances versus southpaws this season, and the Cardinals are shielding him from those matchups. He'll take a seat Sunday against southpaw Andrew Abbott, paving the way for Jose Barrero to pick up a start in center field.

The Reds recalled Hinds from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Hinds will be up for the second time this season after he went 3-for-19 with a pair of home runs during a two-week stretch with the big club in May. He'll receive another look after slashing .381/.435/.683 with a palatable 21.7 percent strikeout rate so far in June for Louisville. Expect the Reds to deploy Hinds mainly as a short-side platoon player in the corner outfield or at designated hitter.

Verdugo will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

He appears to have taken back primary starting duties in left field from Eli White, as Verdugo gets a fifth straight start against a right-handed pitcher (Sandy Alcantara). Though his playing time has been trending up of late, Verdugo will move into a fourth-outfielder role beginning July 2, when Jurickson Profar (suspension) is eligible to return from the restricted list.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll (hand), who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Colorado, will undergo an MRI in Chicago on Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The outfielder was apparently available to pinch hit Saturday while his bruised left hand continues to show improvement, but the Diamondbacks will exercise caution and send him for additional imaging Monday. Carroll is sitting for a fourth straight game Sunday and should be considered day-to-day heading into the series opener against the White Sox.

White is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

After a brief run as Atlanta's primary left fielder, White appears to have slipped back into a short-side platoon role. He'll be on the bench for a fifth straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher, with Alex Verdugo having started in left field in each of those contests. Both Verdugo and White are expected to see their opportunities in the outfield dwindle once Jurickson Profar (suspension) is cleared to return July 2.

Carroll (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Carroll will stay on the bench for a fourth consecutive game while he tends to a bruised left hand. The Diamondbacks are viewing the star outfielder as day-to-day, and manager Torey Lovullo said earlier in the weekend that Carroll is close to rejoining the lineup, perhaps as soon as Monday versus the White Sox in Chicago.

Tucker went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Mariners.

Tucker was one of four Chicago players to go deep in the victory, including Ian Happ, who launched two home runs. Tucker now has 14 bombs for the season, though only two of them have come this month. The talented outfielder had five home runs in May and seven in March and April combined. While he's displaying a little less power in June, Tucker still has a strong .930 OPS with seven doubles in 17 games as he continues to make consistent contact. Overall, he's sporting a robust .915 OPS this year, and the 28-year-old has chipped in 18 stolen bases to supplement his fantasy value.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's victory over the Mariners.

The long ball was Crow-Armstrong's 21st home run of the season. The rising star has impressed all year and continued to produce in June, slashing .262/.314/.585 with nine extra-base hits and 11 RBI over 17 games. His combination of power, speed and elite defense in center field has marked him as one of the National League's top position players in 2025.
