Donaldson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Donaldson started the past two games after being activated from the injured list Thursday, and he'll take a seat Sunday after he went 2-for-8 with two home runs and three RBI. DJ LeMahieu will start at third base while Giancarlo Stanton serves as the designated hitter.

Lewis appears to have avoided a concussion but sustained a laceration to his forehead after being involved in a collision in Sunday's game against Guardians, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 23-year-old is also dealing with some general soreness after he ran into the Guardians' Gabriel Arias at first base late in Sunday's contest. Lewis looks like he'll avoid a trip to the injured list, and he'll have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before the Twins return to action Tuesday at Tampa Bay.

Lewis was removed from Sunday's game against the Guardians with an apparent upper body injury after being involved in a collision at first base, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 23-year-old collided with Guardians first baseman Gabriel Arias while attempting to beat out a grounder during the eighth inning, and Lewis flipped over Arias and appeared to land on his arms and head. Lewis was evaluated by the training staff for a few minutes but eventually left the field under his own power. Minnesota has a team day off Monday, and it's unclear if the young infielder will be available for Tuesday's series opener in Tampa Bay.

Monasterio was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds with an apparent head injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The 25-year-old took a shot to the face while making a tag on a pickoff throw during the third inning, and he was replaced by a pinch hitter after initially remaining in the contest. Monasterio clubbed his first big-league homer during the opening frame to give Milwaukee a 3-0 lead, which was his lone plate appearance before leaving the game.

Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

The 29-year-old finds himself on the bench for the second consecutive game despite the fact Gunnar Henderson (back) isn't in the lineup Sunday. Urias has gone just 2-for-20 in seven games since he returned from the injured list May 26. Josh Lester is making his team debut at third base after having his contract selected Saturday.

Henderson (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

The 21-year-old's removal from Saturday's contest due to lower-back discomfort was labeled precautionary, but he'll still be out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale. The absence will give Henderson two straight days of rest since the Orioles have a team day off Monday. Josh Lester will make his Baltimore debut at third base after having his contract selected Saturday.

Angels manager Phil Nevin said Sunday that Rendon (groin) is likely to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday or Wednesday versus the Cubs, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Nevin implied that Wednesday is a more likely for Rendon's return than Tuesday, but regardless, the Angels' everyday third baseman looks poised to rejoin the mix in the coming days. Rendon has been on the shelf since May 15 with a left groin strain, and he appears set to bypass a rehab assignment prior to being activated. Rendon was playing well in the weeks prior to his injury, and he should go back to hitting in the middle of the Los Angeles lineup upon his return.

Bat is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Baty started the past four games and will head to the bench Sunday after he went 1-for-14 with seven strikeouts during that stretch. Eduardo Escobar will handle the hot corner in his place.

Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Anderson has gone 2-for-17 across his past five games and will head to the bench for Sunday's contest. Blake Perkins will handle right field in his place and bat sixth.

Bride is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Marlins.

Bride will take a seat for the second straight game, with the Marlins having started right-handed pitchers on both occasions. Jace Peterson will man the hot corner and hit seventh Sunday in place of Bride, who may be relegated to a short-side platoon role.
