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.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Hayes had a hot start to April with 17 hits, including six extra-base hits, in the first seven games of the month, but he's gone just 5-for-28 over the past seven contests.. Rodolfo Castro will take over at the hot corner for the series finale in Milwaukee.

Candelario was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Marlins due to soreness in his right thumb, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario was slated to start at third base Sunday, per usual, but he'll instead hit the bench with a thumb issue. The 29-year-old is expected to be available as a pinch hitter, so it doesn't appear to be a serious injury. Michael Chavis will shift to the hot corner while Dominic Smith, who was originally off Sunday, starts at first base.

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.

Madrigal is starting at third base and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Madrigal sat Saturday with Miles Mastrobuoni getting the nod at the hot corner, but the former will take over Sunday. Patrick Wisdom (wrist) hit the injured list Saturday, so there is playing time available at third base, and Madrigal should be the top option there most days ahead of Mastrobuoni.

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

Anderson started the past 11 games and will head to the bench after he posted a .585 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Raimel Tapia will take over in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale.

Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The 23-year-old is 5-for-16 over his past four games but will take a seat Sunday with lefty Matthew Liberatore pitching for St. Louis. Eduardo Escobar will man the hot corner and bat eighth.

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.
