Remillard will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Oakland.

Remillard will remain in the lineup for a fifth straight contest, with four of those starts coming at the keystone. Thanks to producing a .929 OPS over his first 42 plate appearances in the majors, Remillard appears to have supplanted Elvis Andrus as the White Sox's preferred option at second base.

Andrus is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Andrus has a .544 OPS for the season and is 3-for-21 over his past eight games. The veteran infielder is on the bench for the fourth time in Chicago's past five contests as Zach Remillard appears to have taken hold of the starting job at second base.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and went 2-for-6 with a walk while starting the past two games at designated hitter. Seth Brown is serving as the designated hitter Sunday while Conner Capel starts in the outfield.

The White Sox transferred Gonzalez (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Though Gonzalez was officially diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation upon landing on the 10-day IL on June 19, he'll wind up missing at least two months -- well beyond the timeline typically associated with the injury. With Gonzalez on the shelf until at least the second half of August, Zach Remillard may have some staying power on the White Sox's 26-man active roster as a utility infielder.

Drury was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left shoulder contusion.

Drury was on the bench Sunday for the third straight game with the shoulder bruise, so the Angels opted to move him to the IL. The 30-year-old won't be eligible to return until after the All-Star break July 14 against Houston, so he'll afforded a few extra days to recover without missing more games. Andrew Velazquez was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to provide infield depth.

Drury (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

The 30-year-old will sit for the third straight game after he suffered a shoulder injury Thursday against the White Sox. Drury remains on the lineup card for now, but a move to the IL could be on the horizon since infielder Andrew Velazquez has joined the club as a member of the taxi squad.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The lefty-hitting Garcia typically plays regularly against both right- and left-handed pitching, but because he had started each of the last 16 games along with the fact that the Phillies are bringing southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill, the Nationals likely viewed Sunday's contest as an optimal time to give the infielder a breather. Michael Chavis will check in for Garcia at the keystone.

Donovan (arm) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Sunday against the Yankees, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatchreports.

The 26-year-old didn't make an appearance during Saturday's doubleheader while contending with right arm soreness, but he'll return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Donovan is coming off a strong June, during which he had a .307/.402/.443 slash line with three doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI and 12 runs in 23 games.

Gimenez went 1-for-3 with one RBI, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

Gimenez has made a slight improvement lately, going 14-for-54 (.259) over his last 14 games to raise his season batting average to .243. He's added 10 RBI and two stolen bases in that span. The second baseman remains a near-everyday presence in the Guardians' lineup, though his .676 OPS is a steep decline from the .837 mark he posted last year. Gimenez has added nine steals, five home runs, 29 RBI and 34 runs this season.

Bae (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

The 24-year-old went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run Saturday before being lifted with an apparent left ankle injury, per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, and he'll now be sidelined through at least the All-Star break. Rodolfo Castro and Tucupita Marcano are likely to be the main beneficiaries of playing time in Bae's absence.
