The Mariners recalled Wisdom from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Following Brendan Donovan's (concussion) placement on the injured list Sunday, Wisdom will get his first look in the majors since mid-June. The 34-year-old is batting 5-for-41 (.122 average) with one homer and 18 strikeouts in 15 big-league games this season.

The Mariners placed Donovan on the 7-day injured list Sunday due to a concussion, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

It's another unfortunate injury for the 29-year-old, who was struck in the head by a baseball in the batting cage prior to Saturday's contest. Donovan will be sidelined for at least the next week as he goes through the concussion protocols. Patrick Wisdom is filling the open roster spot, but it's Weston Wilson starting at third base Sunday against the Cubs.

Guzman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Vaughn Grissom will draw the start at third base in place of Guzman, who covered the hot corner in the first two contests of the series. Despite handling a near-everyday role, the 22-year-old rookie hasn't provided much to get excited about with a .216/.245/.333 slash line to go with one home run, no steals, seven RBI and six runs through his first 19 games in August.

Muncy will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Muncy will stick in the lineup for a sixth straight game after going 3-for-15 with a home run, three walks, three runs and three RBI over the prior five contests. Though he looks to have taken hold of a regular spot in the starting nine with Tyler Soderstrom (hip) lost for the season, Muncy could find himself on the bench more frequently once the Athletics get Denzel Clarke (hamstring) or Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) back from the injured list.

Loftin will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Though he looked poised to move back into a utility role after the Royals reinstated Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia from the injured list Monday, Loftin has since settled back into a near-everyday role after Garcia went back on the shelf Friday due to a hamstring strain. Loftin will collect his sixth straight start Sunday after going 2-for-14 with a double, a triple, four walks and an RBI over the previous five contests.

Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

The left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench while the Royals send southpaw Daniel Lynch to the hill. Corey Julks will get a turn as the DH while Keith is out of the lineup.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

After starting in each of the last seven games while going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with five runs and two RBI, Ramirez will get some rest Sunday while the Guardians wrap up their series in Colorado with a day game after a night game. Ramirez's move to the bench will open up a spot in the lineup for Angel Martinez, who will start in left field and bat seventh.

Lee went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.

This was Lee's first multi-hit effort in eight games after he logged four straight such performances from Aug. 9-12. The infielder has gone 18-for-68 (.265) in August, an improvement on his .247 average for the year. Lee has added a .729 OPS, 19 homers, 68 RBI, 56 runs scored, 20 doubles, three triples and seven stolen bases over 124 contests as a regular presence in the Twins' lineup.

Donovan was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Cubs after being hit in the head by a baseball in the batting cages pregame.

Donovan is being evaluated by the medical staff for his head injury. Weston Wilson was a late addition to the Mariners' lineup Saturday, starting at third base and batting eighth.

Donovan (undisclosed) was a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The Mariners waited until the very last moment to make a lineup change, and the severity of Donovan's unspecified injury is unclear. Weston Wilson is in at third base in Donovan's absence.
