Drake Baldwin with one hit in loss to D-Backs

While Conine has been a fixture in the middle of the Marlins’ lineup since returning from the injured list, he’ll get a day off in this one with left-hander Nick Lodolo toeing the slab for the Reds. Leo Jimenez will start in his place at the cold corner and will bat sixth for the Marlins.

It’s the second time in the last four games that Semien has found himself left out of the starting lineup, which is at least something to monitor going forward. Brett Baty will cover second base in his absence and will bat seventh against Nationals’ right-hander Jake Irvin.

Marte was pulled from Friday night’s contest due to soreness in his left knee and sat out Saturday’s game as a precautionary measure. He’s right back in there at second base and batting cleanup against Braves’ righty Bryce Elder on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta.

Santana was inked to a minor league contract last week after he elected free agency from the Pirates. While he has struggled to a 6.05 ERA over 41 2/3 innings on the season, he has proven to be a viable late-inning option in the past and could work his way into the saves mix with the Diamondbacks if he pitches well out of the gate.

Abner has struggled in eight appearances with the Diamondbacks this season, posting a 6.28 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and a 6/8 K/BB ratio across 14 1/3 innings of work. It feels like there’s a decent chance he may pass through waivers unclaimed. Dennis Santana was added to the Diamondbacks’ bullpen in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Chisholm has really been struggling at the plate recently, hitting just .125/.222/.200 with one home run, three RBI and a 16/5 K/BB ratio in 45 plate appearances since the start of August, so getting a day off to clear his head instead of facing one of the toughest pitchers in the American League makes plenty of sense. Jose Caballero will start in his place at second base and bat ninth for the Bombers on Sunday.

It’s always mildly concerning when the oft-injured outfielder is absent from the Orioles’ starting lineup, but he has started every other game during the week and it sounds like they just wanted to give him a breather. Expect him to be back in there for Monday’s series finale.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine day off for the 34-year-old slugger. Nick Sogard will man first base in his absence while Anthony Seigler starts at second base and will bat eighth against Pirates’ right-hander Luke Bachar.

The 27-year-old hurler was optioned back to Triple-A last Saturday, but he’ll return with Justin Slaten (elbow) landing on the injured list on Sunday. Burgos has done a nice job in his limited action with the Red Sox, posting a 3.00 ERA, 0.33 WHIP and a 4/0 K/BB ratio across six innings of work.

As anticipated, Slaten hits the injured list due to inflammation in his pitching elbow. No word yet from the team on how long he’s expected to be sidelined for, but he’ll miss at least a couple of weeks. Raymond Burgos was recalled from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move to replace him in the Red Sox’ bullpen.
