Wilson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Wilson will head to the bench for the first time in 2026 after starting the first 14 games. Darell Hernaiz will take over at shortstop and bat eighth in the series finale versus the Mets.

Caratini will start at catcher and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

With top backstop Ryan Jeffers receiving the afternoon off, Caratini will fill in behind the dish as he makes his seventh consecutive start -- three at first base, three at catcher and one at designated hitter. The veteran switch hitter is batting .286 (6-for-21) during that stretch with a double, two runs and three RBI.

Martin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

The right-handed hitter had been in a corner outfield spot for four of the last five games, but all of those starts came against left-handed pitching. The Twins still appear to be treating Martin mostly as a short-side platoon player, so he'll likely continue to sit against most righties while Minnesota uses Trevor Larnach, Byron Buxton and Matt Wallner as its primary outfield configuration.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

With the Twins closing out their series in Toronto with a day game, Buxton will rest for just the second time in the team's first 16 contests of the season. James Outman will enter the starting nine in center field in place of Buxton.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Jeffers will receive a breather for the matinee contest after he started behind the dish in both of the Twins' first two games in Toronto. Victor Caratini will handle catching duties for Minnesota in the series finale.

The White Sox optioned Davitt to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Davitt will cede his spot to righty Jonathan Cannon, who was recalled ahead of his expected bulk-relief appearance Sunday. Davitt made his MLB debut in Friday's loss to Kansas City, tossing a scoreless inning out of the bullpen.

The White Sox recalled Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Right-hander Grant Taylor is slated to open the game for the White Sox, but he'll presumably be limited to an inning or two before giving way to Cannon, who is projected to work in bulk relief. Cannon will be stepping into to the rotation spot vacated by Opening Day starter Shane Smith, who was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday. Through two starts with Charlotte this season, Cannon covered 8.2 innings and struck out 10 batters while allowing seven earned runs on 12 hits and four walks.

The Blue Jays selected Jimenez's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. He'll serve as the Blue Jays' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in the Blue Jays' series finale versus the Twins.

Back in the majors for the first time since 2024, Jimenez will temporarily take the place of George Springer, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left big toe fracture. Jimenez won't necessarily have a full-time role, but there are at-bats to be had in the short term with Addison Barger (ankle) also on the IL. After slugging 31 home runs in his first big-league season in 2019, the 29-year-old Jimenez struggled with injuries and saw a steep decline in his production. He's been able to stay healthy so far in 2026, producing a .257/.372/.371 slash line (112 wRC+) over 43 plate appearances with Buffalo.

The Blue Jays placed Springer (toe) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Springer fractured his left big toe Saturday when he fouled a ball off his foot, and though the nature of the injury would imply a longer absence, manager John Schneider indicated that the four-time All-Star could return in close to the minimum amount of time, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The Blue Jays called up Eloy Jimenez from Triple-A Buffalo to take Springer's spot on the roster, and he'll enter the lineup at designated hitter Sunday. Along with Jimenez, Toronto could opt to rotate a number of players through the DH spot while Springer is shelved, although the team's depth is already being tested with Addison Barger (ankles) and Alejandro Kirk (thumb) also sidelined.

Durbin went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over St. Louis.

Durbin was part of Boston's five-run ninth inning, the team's highest scoring inning of the season. His two-run single made it a 5-1 game, and he scored the final run. Durbin has at least one RBI in three of the last four games, but his .114/.188/.136 slash line has been a drag on the Red Sox.
