Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

After starting the last three games while going 3-for-10 with a double, two walks, four RBI and a run, Palacios will retreat to the bench while southpaw Ryan Weathers takes the hill for New York. Carson Williams will get the nod at second base Sunday and should continue to occupy the short side of a platoon with Palacios until Ben Williamson (back) returns from the injured list, with the season debut of Gavin Lux (shoulders/ankle) also potentially coming at some point this summer.

Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The Orioles have now held the left-handed-hitting Holliday out of the lineup for all three of their matchups with left-handed starting pitchers since he returned from the injured list Monday. Holliday should eventually see more chances against southpaws once he's further removed from the hand injury that has kept him on the shelf for most of the season, but Jeremiah Jackson will get the nod at second base in the first game of the day while the Orioles face off against Framber Valdez.

Gonzalez (shoulder) has started hitting flips, MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez is taking short underhand flips from in close and at low velocity as he begins to get his timing back. At some point, he'll graduate to hitting off a machine and then live pitching. Gonzalez is aiming to return at some point next month.

Duran moved from shortstop to third base in the fourth inning Saturday after Josh Jung (shoulder) was removed from a 5-2 loss to the Angels.

Duran, who has been covering shortstop for the injured Corey Seager (back), was replaced at the position by Michael Helman. The Rangers believe Jung avoided a serious injury, per Courtney Hollman of MLB.com, but Duran should remain a lineup fixture for now given the team's other infield injuries. He's slashing .287/.340/.471 with four home runs, 24 RBI, four steals and 21 runs scored while appearing in 43 of the team's 51 games.

Bazzana batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Phillies.

The rookie made his major-league debut as a leadoff hitter, a role he handled frequently in the minors. It was a tough assignment against Zack Wheeler, who fired six scoreless innings, but Bazzana was able to connect for a leadoff double in the ninth inning off closer Jhoan Duran. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt recently removed Steven Kwan from the leadoff spot and told Tim Stebbins of MLB.com that it felt like the right time to give that opportunity to Bazzana. Since his promotion, he's sporting a .385 OBP with seven steals, and Bazzana profiles as someone that can set the table consistently for Jose Ramirez.

Grissom isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Grissom will remain on the bench for a second consecutive game after going 1-for-12 with two RBI during the Angels' last series against the Athletics. Oswald Peraza will get the nod at the keystone Saturday, and Donovan Walton will man the hot corner.

Bazzana is leading off Saturday against Zack Wheeler and the Phillies.

Bazzana had been batting fifth recently, but he earned the bump to the leadoff spot by slashing .273/.391/.364 with two home runs, seven steals and a 14.1 percent walk rate in 22 games. The rookie second baseman leads the Guardians in on-base percentage, with Brayan Rocchio's .376 mark ranking second to Bazzana's .391.

Altuve (oblique) will head to the Astros' facility in Florida on Sunday to continue his rehab, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Altuve told McTaggart that he's feeling good, and while an oblique strain typically carries a multi-week recovery timetable, the veteran second baseman seems to be trending in the right direction. Braden Shewmake and Brice Matthews have been splitting starts at the keystone in Altuve's absence.

Keaschall is not in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox.

This is the fourth time in the last seven games Keaschall has opened the game on the bench. He is hitting .268 with a .414 OBP, zero home runs and three steals in 18 games this month. Orlando Arcia will man the keystone against lefty Jovani Moran.

Holliday went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, one walk and two runs scored in Friday's 7-4 win over the Tigers.

After batting seventh and then eighth in the order in his first two games of the season Tuesday and Wednesday, Holliday was in the nine hole Friday. He logged his first two hits of the 2026 campaign, singling and scoring in the third inning before popping a two-run homer off Jack Flaherty in the fourth. Through three contests, Holliday is 2-for-7 at the plate with a 1:3 BB:K across eight plate appearances.
