Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Bell started the previous 15 contests and will receive a day off after going 2-for-20 in his past six games. Trevor Larnach will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while Emmanuel Rodriguez makes the start in left field.

The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

The move corresponds with the Orioles placing right-hander Kyle Bradish (abdomen) on the 15-day injured list. Hiraldo has appeared in seven major-league games this season with a 5.87 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB over 7.2 frames. He gives the Orioles some additional right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

Culpepper (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

The 23-year-old Culpepper exited Saturday's contest after being hit in the shoulder by a 95 mph pitch and will miss at least one start due to the injury. Ryan Kreidler will fill in at shortstop Sunday for the Twins.

The Guardians recalled Brogdon from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The move corresponds with Franco Aleman being optioned to Triple-A. Brogdon last saw major-league action May 7, and across 15 big-league appearances this year he has a 5.28 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, four holds and one save in 15.1 innings.

The Guardians optioned Aleman to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The move comes after Aleman's last outing against the Twins on Saturday, when he allowed four runs on five hits while striking out one batter in two-thirds of an inning. Connor Brogdon was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Red Sox placed Seigler on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right wrist inflammation.

Seigler's wrist issue flared up during Saturday's game against the Royals, and further testing led to an IL stint. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Nick Sogard will be the main depth infield options for Boston while Seigler is on the shelf. In a corresponding move, Willson Contreras (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

The Red Sox reinstated Contreras from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting at first base Sunday against the Royals, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The veteran slugger is ready to rejoin the Red Sox after going 2-for-7 with two RBI and three strikeouts during a two-game rehab assignment. Contreras landed on the shelf due to a left hamstring strain Aug. 31, but he ended up missing just a little more than the 10-day minimum.

The Athletics optioned Estes to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

The move corresponds with the Athletics recalling southpaw Drew Rom from Triple-A. Estes was rocked for five runs on seven hits (including three home runs) and one walk while striking out one batter over three innings during the Athletics' 19-1 loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

The Athletics recalled Rom from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Rom will be back in the majors for the first time since Aug. 24. Across 12 big-league outings this season, he has a 6.35 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and three holds across 11.1 innings. Right-hander Joey Estes was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Mullins is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mullins has gone 2-for-20 across his past seven games and will take a seat Sunday even though Houston is sending right-hander Hayden Wesneski to the mound. Jonny DeLuca is starting in center field and batting sixth in the series finale.
