Young went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

Young was a frequent contributor in the win, recording the first four-hit effort of his career. The second baseman is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak, recording multiple hits in five of those contests. On the year, the 23-year-old is hitting .269/.325/.421 with 14 homers, 51 RBI, 54 runs and three stolen bases across 113 contests.

Seigler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Seigler will head to the bench for the second time in the series after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-2 win. Nick Sogard will replace Seigler at second base and atop the batting order.

The Blue Jays transferred Sosa (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Sosa will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Jameson Taillon, whom the Blue Jays acquired in a trade with the Cubs. The 26-year-old infielder has been on the shelf since May 28 due to a right wrist contusion and was pulled off a rehab assignment in late June after experiencing a setback. He resumed taking live batting practice last week and should be ready to report back to an affiliate in the near future.

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

The left-handed hitter had started the last five games but will get a breather while southpaw Kyle Freeland toes the rubber for Colorado. Nick Loftin will check in for Massey at second base and bat second.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Lopez will retreat to the bench after starting 10 straight games at second base or shortstop. Cam Cauley will get the nod Sunday at the keystone, which is where Lopez is expected to see the bulk of his playing time after Corey Seager returned from the injured list Friday.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed hitter will be on the bench for a second straight day, as White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay takes the mound after lefty Noah Schultz worked in bulk relief Saturday. Ryan Vilade will cover the keystone Sunday in place of Palacios.

Sogard started at first base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

Sogard filled in for the injured Willson Contreras, who is in the concussion protocol. Sogard's stint at first is expected to be a short one, as Boston interim manager Chad Tracy told Tim Healy of The Boston Globe that Contreras is expected to play Sunday barring a setback.

Torres went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Athletics.

Torres has two homers and seven RBI over his last four games. The second baseman put the Tigers up 4-2 when he went deep in the fifth inning Saturday. He's now batting .266 with a .775 OPS, six homers, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 54 contests this season.

Chisholm is starting at second base and batting fifth Saturday against the Cubs.

Chisholm exited Thursday's contest against the White Sox after cramping up, and he was held out of Friday's series opener against the Cubs. However, manager Aaron Boone stated ahead of Friday's contest that Chisholm was "fully active," so he was likely just held out because Chicago sent a lefty starter to the mound. All seems to be well with Chisholm given his return to the lineup Saturday.

Young went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.

Young ended up hitting .258 (23-for-89) with five homers and nine RBI over 24 games in July. He's now hit atop the order in seven straight games as he settles in with consistency at the plate. For the season, the second baseman is batting .261 with a .733 OPS, 14 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs scored, 14 doubles, three triples and three stolen bases over 111 contests.
