Keaschall went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

Keaschall extended Minnesota's lead in the seventh inning by launching a 411-foot solo homer, his ninth long ball of the season. Five of those homers have come in August, during which Keaschall has hit .326 across 25 games. The strong month has helped him maintain a .274/.364/.390 slash line through 128 games this season.

Holiday is out of the lineup for Sunday's affair with the A's.

With southpaw Jeffrey Springs on the mound for the Athletics, the left-handed-hitting Holliday will receive a breather for the final game of a three-game set. Blaze Alexander will lead off and play second base for Baltimore.

Meidroth is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game with the Twins.

After an 0-for-4 performance Saturday, Meidroth will sit out the final game of a three-game set Sunday against the Twins. Sam Antonacci will move over to second base and lead off for the White Sox.

Clement is absent from the lineup for Toronto's matchup with Seattle on Sunday.

Clement has gone 0-for-8 with two strikeouts over the first two games of the series, prompting Toronto to give him a day off. Charles McAdoo will man second base and bat eighth.

The Red Sox optioned Seigler to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Seigler will give up his spot on the active roster to Trevor Story (sports hernia), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Over 171 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, Seigler has slashed .250/.331/.405 with three home runs, two steals, 21 runs and 13 RBI.

Sogard went 3-for-8 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI during a doubleheader split with the Yankees on Saturday.

Sogard knocked an RBI double in Game 1 and added a solo homer in the nightcap. The utility man started at second base in both contests after making one start each at shortstop, first base and third base over his previous three games. Sogard came into Saturday in an 0-for-13 skid, but he's held his own at the plate overall in August, batting .260 with three homers, eight doubles, 17 runs and nine RBI through 27 contests.

Bazzana is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

The lefty-hitting Bazzana has slashed .188/.295/.232 in 129 plate appearances against same-side pitching this season and has fallen into a platoon role lately as a result. That trend will continue Saturday with the 2024 No. 1 overall pick sitting against southpaw Daniel Lynch as Angel Genao starts at the keystone for Cleveland.

Chisholm isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

Chisholm has gone 9-for-19 with a homer, four RBI, three walks and five steals across his last six games, but the Yankees will opt to rest him during Saturday's matinee. Amed Rosario will fill in at the keystone and bat third.

Walton isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Walton has recorded a hit in six of his last seven games, but the A's will keep him on the bench to begin Friday's contest. While he sits, Jeff McNeil will cover second base and Alika Williams will start at shortstop.

Palacios is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Padres.

Padres starting pitcher Casey Mize has reverse splits, as the right-hander has held lefties to a .564 OPS while righties have posted a .768 OPS. That explains why the lefty-swinging Palacios is sitting out in favor of righty Jorge Mateo, who will slot in at second base for the Rays.
