Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a stolen base Saturday in an extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Bellinger has been active on the basepaths early in the season, swiping three bags in four attempts through 14 games. He tallied 13 thefts in 15 tries during the regular season last year and has a career-best mark of 20 steals, which he established in 2023 while with the Cubs. In addition to his trio of steals, Bellinger has posted a .240/.344/.360 slash line with five RBI and nine runs through 61 plate appearances.

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

Caissie had started the Marlins' last four games, but he'll take a seat against Tarik Skubal. He'll be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Graham Pauley and Liam Hicks.

Robert is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

It's likely just a maintenance day for Robert, who started the previous six games and batted .364 (8-for-22) with four walks, a homer, two steals and five runs during that span. Carson Benge will shift to center field for Sunday's series finale while Tyrone Taylor and Brett Baty start in the corners.

The Blue Jays placed Springer (toe) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Springer fractured his left big toe Saturday when he fouled a ball off his foot, and though the nature of the injury would imply a longer absence, manager John Schneider indicated that the four-time All-Star could return in close to the minimum amount of time, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The Blue Jays called up Eloy Jimenez from Triple-A Buffalo to take Springer's spot on the roster, and he'll enter the lineup at designated hitter Sunday. Along with Jimenez, Toronto could opt to rotate a number of players through the DH spot while Springer is shelved, although the team's depth is already being tested with Addison Barger (ankles) and Alejandro Kirk (thumb) also sidelined.

Bader is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Jung Hoo Lee will slide over from his usual spot in right field to cover center in place of Bader, who will sit for the second time in four games. Bader has gotten off to a sluggish start to his first season with San Francisco, slashing just .115/.145/.192 with one home run, zero steals, three RBI and four runs across 55 plate appearances.

Benson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

After beginning the season with starts in Cincinnati's first five games against right-handed pitching, Benson finds himself on the bench Sunday for the fourth time in the past six contests, all of which have been versus righties. Noelvi Marte is starting in right field and batting eighth in the series finale versus the Halos and appears to be the Reds' preferred option at the position.

Conforto went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3, extra-innings loss to the Pirates.

This was Conforto's first game action in three days, as the veteran has settled in as a reserve outfielder for the Cubs. With Seiya Suzuki back in the fold, Conforto figures to remain on the bench, though he could eventually see more time at DH if he continues to show some life in his bat. Over his last five appearances, Conforto is slashing .385/.556/.462 with five walks, three RBI and three runs scored.

Kwan went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over Atlanta.

Kwan had a five-game hit streak snapped Saturday, but he managed to contribute to the offense. He walked, stole second base and scored during Cleveland's three-run ninth inning. It was the second steal of the season for the outfielder, who stole 21 bases (caught five times) in the 2025 regular season. Kwan is slashing .246/.338/.333 with three extra-base hits, seven walks, four RBI and eight runs through 15 games.

Carroll started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Philadelphia.

Carroll returned to the lineup after missing two games with a tight hip flexor. His first-inning walk preceded an RBI single by Adrian Del Castillo. Carroll was available off the bench the last two days, which indicates the issue wasn't considered serious.

Greene went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Marlins.

Getting a partial breather at DH, Greene carried the Tigers' offense and supplied the biggest hit of the afternoon, a three-run blast in the third inning off Janson Junk. It was Greene's first long ball of the year, and through 15 games he sports a .228/.323/.351 slash line with four doubles, one steal, nine runs and 10 RBI.
