Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Wade, who is in the midst of a 3-for-32 slump. Jerar Encarnacion is starting at first base in the series finale at San Diego.

Kavadas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

The lefty-hitting Kavadas had started at designated hitter in each of the Angels' last four matchups against righties, but he'll take a seat Sunday versus Rangers southpaw Andrew Heaney. Brandon Drury will get a day out of the infield and will replace Kavadas as the club's DH.

Schanuel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Schanuel started the previous 11 games after missing a couple contests due to a back issue, and he'll receive Sunday off after going 5-for-40 since rejoining the lineup. Charles Leblanc will take over at first base and bat third in the series finale at Texas.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Bauers is sitting for the second straight day as Kyle Freeland is the second consecutive lefty to start for Colorado. Gary Sanchez will step in behind the plate while William Contreras rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Busch went 1-for-17 while starting the past seven games but will sit Sunday against New York righty Gerrit Cole. Cody Bellinger will shift to first base while Mike Tauchman receives a start in right field.

Turner is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Cardinals.

The 39-year-old was poised to sit Sunday in St. Louis but will instead start the contest since Victor Robles (elbow) was scratched. Turner is off to a slow start in September, as he's gone 4-for-20 with four walks, a double, an RBI and two runs in six games.

Santana (illness) is absent from Sunday's lineup against Kansas City.

Santana left in the fifth inning of Saturday's game due to an illness, and he will sit for the series finale Sunday. Jose Miranda will start at first base while Ryan Jeffers serves as the designated hitter.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Diaz started the previous four games and will receive a day off after going 7-for16 with two homers, five RBI and three runs during that span. Jonathan Aranda will receive a start at first base in the series finale at Baltimore.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's loss to San Francisco.

Arraez brought the Padres to within a run with his fifth-inning RBI single, but that was the final tally for the team. The talented DH/infielder extended his hitting streak to seven games with the performance, and he's batting an excellent .414 (12-for-29) with four walks, two steals, five runs and four RBI during that span, though all 12 of his hits have been singles. Remarkably, Arraez has gone 24 games and 108 plate appearances without a strikeout, and his minuscule 4.3 percent strikeout rate on the season leads qualified MLB hitters by a wide margin (Steven Kwan is second-best at 9.2 percent).

The Red Sox designated Dalbec for assignment Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec has been with Triple-A Worcester since June 22. Since then, he has slashed .260/.345/.475 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI and a 36.9 percent strikeout rate across 249 plate appearances with Worcester. Dalbec has hit 47 home runs for the Red Sox over the past four seasons, and if he elects to move on from the organization, he should get interest from teams looking for a lefty-hitting first baseman.
