Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Cavan Biggio is At Second on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Biggio will bat leadoff and cover second base versus righty Zack Greinke.

Eduardo Escobar Gets the Day Off

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Jurickson Profar Gets Day Off

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Shed Long is Out on Friday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The young infielder will get the day off against the left-handed starter. Tim Beckham will bat fifth and cover second base versus lefty Andrew Heaney.

Shin-Soo Choo is Out on Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Justin Smoak Getting a Day Off

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
