Garcia went 3-for-4 with one double, two runs scored and one steal in Sunday's loss against the Angels.

Garcia swiped a bag for the second straight contest to improve his season total to seven in as many attempts. The infielder has been on a tear over his last 10 games, hitting 12-for-38 (.316) with six runs scored and a triple.

LeMahieu isn't starting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

LeMahieu started Sunday's matinee and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Josh Donaldson starts at the hot corner and bats fifth.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Sunday that Henderson was scratched from the lineup due to a stomach flu that is going through the clubhouse.

Henderson was slated to lead off against the Cubs on Sunday, but the rookie infielder was a late scratch from the lineup due to the illness. The Orioles have an off-day Monday before facing the Rays in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, and Henderson should be considered day-to-day for that upcoming contest.

Bride is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Phillies.

Bride's struggled mightily at the plate as of late, and a .308 average June 9 has dropped to .209 after Bride went hitless over his last five games. Jace Peterson is playing third base and batting second against Philadelphia on Sunday while Tony Kemp gets a start at second base and hits seventh.

Henderson was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs for an undisclosed reason.

Henderson was set to lead off and play third base in the series finale, but he's now out of the lineup with Ramon Urias lined up at third base and hitting sixth, while Austin Hays moves to the leadoff spot. The Orioles should provide clarity on why Henderson is out of the lineup shortly.

Chapman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rangers.

Chapman has appeared in 70 of Toronto's 72 games thus far this season, but the third baseman will get a day off for the series finale against Texas on Sunday. Santiago Espinal will take over at third base and hit seventh while Chapman rests.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Jung hit the first of back-to-back homers in the second inning to erase an early deficit. It was his 14th of the season, ranking him second on the Rangers behind Adolis Garcia. The young third baseman's production has dropped off during June, which is something he'll have to fight through. Jung's made 285 plate appearances in 2023, the second highest career total behind his 2021 campaign in the minors, when he had a combined 342 PAs between Double- and Triple-A.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Donaldson has a .176/.256/.618 slash line with five home runs in 11 games since he returned from the injured list at the start of June, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's matinee. There's a strong chance the veteran is back in the lineup for Game 2. DJ LeMahieu will man third base and bat fifth in the first contest.

Bregman went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Reds.

Bregman swiped his second base of the season, his lone bright spot in the game. He's scuffled since the calendar flipped to June, as he has only 11 hits across 57 at-bats. On the other hand, Bregman has struck out only 13 times in that span, so there is some indication that he'll be able turn things around in the near future.

Garcia went 1-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-9 win over the Angels.

Garcia went nine games without a steal before Saturday. He was a key piece of the Royals' walk-off win, delivering a game-tying RBI single, stealing second and then scoring the winning run on a Samad Taylor single. Garcia has a .254/.315/.354 slash line with a home run, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and six steals through 37 contests, and he appears to be over his slump from earlier in June. He's seen most of his action at third base, primarily competing with Nicky Lopez for playing time.
