  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Managing toe injury

    Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros due to a right pinkie toe injury, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    It's unclear when Edman sustained the injury, but he'll sit for Sunday's series finale after starting the previous six contests. The utility man made his past three starts at second base, but he's expected to shift to the hot corner against right-handed pitchers this week to fill in for Max Muncy (knee), assuming Edman can overcome the toe issue.

  • Cole Young SS | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Idle for series finale

    Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    The rookie infielder will exit the lineup for the first time since June 22, ending a stretch of 14 consecutive starts. Jorge Polanco will step in at second base in place of Young, who could benefit from the day off after going 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over the past four contests.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Tweaks side Sunday

    Lowe struck out in his lone at-bat in Sunday's game against the Twins before he was removed in the third inning due to left side soreness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The Rays didn't clarify whether Lowe suffered the injury during his first-inning at-bat or during his two innings in the field. Regardless, Lowe's early exit ended up spelling an end to his 20-game hitting streak, which tied a franchise record. According to Topkin, Jose Caballero had been scheduled to receive Sunday off while he dealt with right arm soreness, but he was pressed into action at second base following Lowe's departure. Consider Lowe day-to-day until Tampa Bay provides another update on his status.

  • Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL

    Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Serving as DH on Sunday

    Farmer will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Sunday against the White Sox.

    Farmer has been getting most of his starts against left-handed pitching lately, but he'll crack the lineup Sunday with righty Shane Smith on the hill. Since the start of June, Farmer has batted .178 with one home run and a 1:13 BB:K over a stretch of 16 games.

  • Chris Taylor LF | LAA

    Angels' Chris Taylor: Resumes baseball activities

    Taylor (hand) recently had his brace removed and has begun participating in "light baseball activities," per MLB.com.

    Taylor suffered a fractured left hand when he was hit by a pitch during a game in early June. The utility man seems unlikely to be ready to return until after the All-Star break, though the Angels haven't specified a timeline for his activation. Taylor will likely serve in a part-time role when he's ready to play again.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Leads offense in win

    Holliday went 4-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer in Sunday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Holliday was the lone Oriole with more than one hit in the game, and his biggest was a two-run blast off Grant Holmes in the third inning that proved to be the difference in a one-run victory. It's the second career four-hit game for Holliday, who had gone just 3-for-25 (.120) in his prior six contests coming into Sunday. Overall, the 21-year-old second baseman is slashing .260/.309/.415 with 11 homers, 36 RBI, 35 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 346 plate appearances.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Getting afternoon off

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    With Tarik Skubal on the hill for Detroit, Schneemann will head to the bench after starting in each of the last three games. Will Wilson will replace Schneemann at second base and bat seventh.

  • Will Wilson SS | SEA

    Guardians' Will Wilson: Called up, starting Sunday

    The Guardians recalled Wilson from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, and he'll start at second base and bat seventh against the Tigers.

    Wilson will be up with the big club for the second time this season, taking the roster spot of Lane Thomas (foot). Wilson could be limited to a short-side platoon role during his latest stint in the majors, but he gets one of the toughest such assignments possible Sunday against Tarik Skubal.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Limited to bench role Sunday

    Torres (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Torres was removed after the top of the first inning of Saturday's 1-0 win following a collision as he slid into second base, but he sustained nothing more than a bruise. According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Torres acknowledged that he experienced some soreness after the game but felt better upon reporting to the ballpark Sunday. The Tigers are keeping him out of the lineup as a precaution, but he should be available to pinch hit in the series finale.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Battling shoulder issue

    Chisholm, who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, said he's been dealing with a shoulder injury for about three weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    The 27-year-old indicated that the injury is more bothersome when throwing than hitting, and he'll get a couple days to rest thanks to Monday's team off day. The injury can help explain Chisholm's especially poor defense of late, as he's committed five errors in the past 10 games. Oswald Peraza will fill in at the hot corner Sunday for the Yankees.
