Witt was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Twins in 11 innings due to back stiffness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Kansas City didn't provide an immediate explanation behind Witt's absence from the lineup Sunday, so the prevailing belief was that he was exiting the starting nine for just the second time all season in a planned rest day. Instead, the back issue was apparently behind Witt getting the day off, and the Royals aren't yet certain whether the star shortstop will be ready to rejoin the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Nationals. The Royals will wait and see how Witt feels coming out of a pregame workout before deciding on his availability leading up to the 7:40 p.m. ET opening pitch.

Montgomery went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Guardians.

Montgomery was out of the lineup Saturday but returned to smack a solo home run in his first at-bat of the day Sunday. He continues to showcase a boom-or-bust approach at the plate, tallying nine home runs across his last 16 starts while also striking out multiple times on five occasions in that span. Montgomery's lack of ability to make consistent contact could ultimately catch up to him, but he's an elite source of power for the time being.

Correa went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Yankees.

Correa has been on a tear since re-joining the Astros at the trade deadline. Sunday's homer marked his second across nine starts in August, and he has also chipped in six RBI and six runs scored. Impressively, Correa has five consecutive multi-hit performances and has an eight-game hit streak overall.

Kim went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI double during Sunday's 6-3 loss to Seattle.

Kim has struggled since coming off the injured list Aug. 1, going 3-for-21 (.143) with eight strikeouts before Sunday's outburst. He swatted a solo home run in the fourth inning off Bryan Woo, marking the shortstop's second in 63 plate appearances in 2025. He has a .681 OPS on the year.

Walls (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Walls will remain on the bench for the second game in a row while he continues to tend to a sore left groin. According to Bass, Walls said that he first tweaked his groin in the Rays' 7-3 win over the Angels on Tuesday, but at this point, the injury mainly limits him while running the bases rather than moving laterally in the field. With that in mind, Walls could be available off the bench Sunday as a late-inning defensive replacement.

Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

With the Rangers facing lefty starters in the previous three contests, Duran cracked the lineup on each occasion, going a collective 6-for-10 with a double and two runs. Duran still looks as though he'll be limited to a short-side platoon role moving forward, as he'll head back to the bench Sunday while right-hander Zack Wheeler toes the rubber for Philadelphia.

The Tigers recalled Sweeney from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, and he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the team's series finale versus the Angels.

Sweeney will absorb the 26-man active roster spot of outfielder/infielder Matt Vierling (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though he'll be included in the lineup Sunday, Sweeney is likely to see limited playing time during his latest stint in the big leagues. The 25-year-old has slashed just .208/.275/.303 with five home runs and three stolen bases over 258 plate appearances with the Tigers this season.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

Seager bopped his 17th homer of the season in the eighth inning and has multiple hits in three consecutive games. He's had a quiet bat the last two weeks, though, posting just two extra-base hits (both homers) with three RBI over the last 14 contests.

Baez went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Angels. He also stole a base.

Baez had a third of Detroit's hits as a team, recording his first three-hit performance since June 17. He's been hot in August with a .333/.333/.583 slash line over seven games. The veteran has had a bounce-back campaign with a .727 OPS, 11 home runs and five stolen bases across 96 games. Last year, Baez posted just a .515 OPS in 80 regular-season games before eventually getting shut down due to a hip injury.

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

After seeing his five-game hitting streak come to an end with a 0-for-4 showing in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Twins, Witt will exit the starting nine for just the second time all season in what appears to be a planned rest day. Maikel Garcia will cover shortstop and bat second in his stead.
