White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Resting again Sunday
Vaughn (leg) is not starting Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
The rookie should still be considered day-to-day as he works through leg soreness. Manager Tony La Russa figures to be especially cautious with Vaughn as he's been with other key players on the division-leading White Sox, so a trip to the injured list is not out of the question. Jose Abreu is DH'ing Sunday with Yasmani Grandal filling in at first base.

Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Lands on injured list
Tellez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right patella Sunday.
Tellez left Saturday's game in Cleveland with what was originally called right knee discomfort. As it turns out, the injury is serious enough to shut him down for at least 10 days, though whether or not he'll miss more time beyond that point is not yet clear. Luke Maile was called up to take his place on the roster.

Brewers' Rowdy Tellez: Slated for MRI
Tellez will undergo an MRI on his right knee Sunday to determine the severity of his injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Tellez was removed from Saturday's game against Cleveland in the second inning and was initially diagnosed with right knee discomfort. However, the Brewers will likely have a better idea of the severity of the issue following Sunday's tests.

Athletics' Matt Olson: Hits 33rd homer
Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Rangers.

This particular home run breathes new life into Olson's push for the mark, as it's the 27-year-old's first round tripper since Aug. 23.
