Rodriguez exited Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay in the third frame due to lower-back tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez appeared to be dealing with a great level of discomfort after plunking Cedric Mullins with a changeup with one out in the top of the third, and it is now understood to be the result of back tightness. He finished his day having tossed 2.1 innings, allowing two runs, both of which scored after his departure, on three hits and two walks while striking out one. The 26-year-old was making his sixth start of the season, and it's unclear if his next projected outing against the Athletics on Thursday is in danger.

Yoshida will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

After being left out of the lineup for the first two contests of the series even with the Rangers sending a pair of right-handers to the hill, Yoshida will make his return to the starting nine as Boston's table setter. Mickey Gasper filled those duties the previous two games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday while he manages a tight groin. If Gasper's groin issue is only a short-term concern, Yoshida might have to settle for a part-time role while he's running cold at the plate. Since the start of June, Yoshida has gone 2-for-18 with a 1:6 BB:K in five games.

The Twins designated Arcia for assignment following Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals, Audra Martin of Twins.tv reports.

Arcia had his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul on May 19 and produced a .271/.300/.354 slash line with one home run, two RBI and six runs in 19 contests with Minnesota. Minnesota will call up outfielder Kyler Fedko from Triple-A St. Paul to replace Arcia on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster.

Fedko is expected to have his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

Fedko will join the major-league roster for the first time in his professional career. The outfielder has posted a .286 average with 15 home runs, 45 RBI, 44 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 206 at-bats in 58 contests with St. Paul so far this year. Orlando Arcia was designated for assignment by Minnesota on Sunday, clearing room on both the 40-man roster and the major-league roster for Fedko.

Teel (knee/hamstring) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Teel will attempt to launch a rehab assignment once again after suffering a sprained LCL while on a previous minor-league rehab assignment in late May. The catcher sustained a hamstring injury during the World Baseball Classic before tacking on the knee issue last month. Teel will have plenty of rust to work off with Charlotte, but he is now on the brink of making his 2026 regular-season debut with the White Sox.

Rice went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Rice snapped a 3-3 tie in the top of the ninth inning with his two-run blast off Braydon Fisher, his 19th homer this season, though just his second in his last 13 games. Rice had cooled off a bit at the plate of late, going just 2-for-17 (.118) in his previous four contests. He's still slashing an excellent .293/.387/.611 through 279 plate appearances this year with 47 RBI and 51 runs scored.

Schultz (knee) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Schultz completed a bullpen session session Wednesday, and he will now return to the mound with the Triple-A squad. The southpaw has been sidelined since late May while nursing right knee patellar tendinitis, and he'll likely need to make multiple starts with Charlotte before rejoining the major-league roster. Schultz posted an inflated 9.87 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in his last four outings before being placed on the 15-day injured list, and he'll look to use his rehab outings as a chance to find his form again.

Corbin did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out three across 3.2 innings.

Corbin has totaled just 6.2 innings in his last two starts, allowing seven runs on 11 hits in that span. The veteran left-hander's ERA now sits at 4.57 through 13 starts (61 innings) this season with a 1.48 WHIP and 43:20 K:BB. Corbin will likely get one more start, tentatively scheduled to come next week on the road against the Cubs, before Shane Bieber (elbow) is ready to return to the rotation.

Rodriguez (undisclosed) exited Sunday's start against the Rays in the third inning, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Rodriguez hit Cedric Mullins with an 83 mph changeup with one out in the top of the third frame, and he immediately started grimacing. The Angels promptly removed him from the contest, and it's unclear what injury the right-handed pitcher may be dealing with. More information on Rodriguez's status will likely be provided in the near future.

Warren did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on eight hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out one.

While Warren managed to work his way around significant damage Sunday, he'd make it through only four innings after throwing 98 pitches. The right-hander has failed to make it through five innings in consecutive starts after posting a 2.78 ERA over 22.2 innings over his previous four outings. Overall, Warren is 7-1 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 76:24 K:BB across 14 starts (72.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Reds at home in his next outing.
