Josh Donaldson - 3B - Blue Jays

Josh Donaldson is starting at shortstop Sunday for the Blue Jays.

It's the first time in his career that he's made a start at the position, although it's the third time he's played there this season. We can't count on Donaldson gaining fantasy eligibility there, but it'll be something worth tracking. Jose Bautista is starting at third base and Ezequiel Carrera is in right field.

Carlos Beltran is also getting a breather. The Astros have Marwin Gonzalez at first base, J.D. Davis at third, George Springer in the designated hitter spot and Jake Marisnick in center field.

Nelson Cruz - DH - Mariners

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Sunday that it's doubtful he'll start Nelson Cruz in right field for any of the club's three games in Atlanta this week.

Cruz has been lobbying to play, but it appears that he'll be limited to pinch-hitting duty for a few days. The slugger has played only four games in the outfield this season.

Khris Davis - OF - Athletics

Khris Davis is absent from the Athletics' lineup Sunday.

It appears to be a simple day off. Matt Joyce is in left field and Chad Pinder is in right.

Miguel Sano - 3B - Twins

Miguel Sano (shin) is not in the Twins' lineup Sunday.

Sano departed Saturday's game with left shin soreness. He's considered day-to-day. Ehire Adrianza is covering third base. Joe Mauer is getting a day off Sunday, as Mitch Garver is at first base.
