Jordan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Jose Fermin will make a second consecutive start at third base over Jordan, whose grasp on an everyday role appears to be loosening. Before busting out for three hits and scoring three runs in a 17-1 romp Friday, Jordan had gone just 2-for-21 over his prior eight starts. He's slashing .246/.265/.377 overall since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Memphis on June 12.

Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers due to a sore knee, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at third base in place of Jung, who fouled a ball off his knee during Saturday's 3-0 loss but was able to stay in the game and play all nine innings. According to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that Jung will undergo X-rays prior to Sunday's game to rule out any significant issues, and the 28-year-old could be available off the bench if things check out. Texas is off Monday before kicking off a three-game home series with the Angels on Tuesday.

Garcia (hand) is rehabbing in Kansas City but has yet to resume swinging a bat, and he'll be re-evaluated during the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.

Garcia hit the shelf June 23 due to a nagging muscle strain in his left hand that required extended rest to heal. The extent of his current rehab regimen remains unclear, and a clearer picture of the third baseman's timeline is likely to come following his re-evaluation. Before landing on the injured list, Garcia was slashing .261/.320/.373 with 22 extra-base hits (three homers), 30 RBI, 32 runs and five stolen bases across 69 games.

Rosario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

During the final week of June, the utility player had been serving as a near-everyday player for the Yankees, but the returns of Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Ryan McMahon (throat/ear) from the injured list Friday have pushed Rosario back into a short-side platoon role. Rosario has been left out of the lineup for all three games of the weekend series while Minnesota has sent three right-handed starters to the bump.

Ramirez (hand) has been hitting off a tee and is expected to face overhand pitching soon, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

The star third baseman had the stitches removed from his surgically repaired left hand Tuesday, and it sounds as though he was immediately cleared to pick up a bat. Ramirez is aiming to return shortly after the All-Star break.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

The veteran third baseman returned from the injured list Friday after missing time due to a throat and ear infection, and he went 1-for-5 with two walks, a double and two runs in his first two games back in the lineup. McMahon will rest for Sunday's series finale, which allows Anthony Volpe to start at shortstop while Jose Caballero mans third base.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Mets.

Saturday was a breakout performance of sorts for the struggling third baseman, who had collected just three RBI in his prior 12 outings. Riley also ripped his first homer since May 20 and his first extra-base hit since June 16. Through 352 plate appearances, Riley is still slashing a paltry .207/.287/.338 with nine long balls, 12 doubles, 41 RBI but does have a career-high four stolen bases.

Jordan is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Cubs.

Jordan had started five straight games for St. Louis, and he's coming off a 3-for-5, three-run performance Friday. However, he'll get a breather Saturday while Jose Fermin gets a chance to start at third base.

The Athletics reinstated Gelof (hand) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Gelof had a minimum stint on the IL while recovering from a right hand contusion and did not need to embark on a rehab assignment before returning to the majors. With Brian Serven also being called up, the Athletics optioned both Darell Hernaiz and Joey Meneses to Triple-A Las Vegas in corresponding moves. Prior to his injury, Gelof posted an .834 OPS with eight steals, 11 home runs and 29 RBI in 228 plate appearances.

Arias out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Arias will be on the bench to begin Saturday's contest while Daniel Schneemann starts at third base and bats seventh. Since coming off the 60-day injured list June 14, Arias is batting just .214 with one home run and two RBI, but he started the hot corner in each of the previous seven games and is expected to operate as the Guardians' preferred option at the position until Jose Ramirez (hand) returns from the injured list.
