Sitting after three straight starts Mateo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Mateo will head back to the bench after he had started at shortstop in each of the last three games, going a collective 1-for-7 with a run scored. Though Atlanta will replace Mateo in the lineup with Ha-Seong Kim on Sunday, both players could find playing time at shortstop more difficult to come by when the team faces right-handed pitching. Mauricio Dubon may be the top choice to cover shortstop on those occasions, which will allow Mike Yastrzemski and Eli White to serve as Atlanta's primary options at the corner spots.

On bench against another righty Mateo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Mateo will head to the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Freddy Peralta) while he's managed just two hits in 14 at-bats with a 1:6 BB:K through seven games in June. Atlanta should still be able to find room for the right-handed-hitting Mateo in the lineup against lefties, but Dominic Smith will continue to occupy the strong side of a platoon at designated hitter, while Mauricio Dubon and Ha-Seong Kim look to be prioritized ahead of Mateo at shortstop.

Settling into regular role Mateo will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Mateo will stick in the lineup for a fifth straight game Sunday, this time handling a non-defensive role after his prior three starts came at shortstop. Atlanta could continue to move forward with Mateo as its primary option at shortstop over Ha-Seong Kim, who is in the lineup Sunday but may be ticketed for a part-time role after slashing just .095/.191/.095 over his 47 plate appearances since being activated from the injured list May 11. Mateo, meanwhile, has been much more productive when called upon this season, generating an .845 OPS while going 7-for-8 on stolen-base attempts in 81 plate appearances. With his playing time on the rise, Mateo could be worth a look for fantasy managers looking to make up ground in the steals category in particular.
