The Twins placed Buxton on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hip impingement.

The veteran outfielder has dealt with the hip impingement for much of the season and will return to the IL on Sunday after sitting out four straight games. It was previously reported that Buxton could require offseason surgery to address the injury, so it's possible he will be shut down for the season if he doesn't show enough improvement soon. Top prospect Walker Jenkins should continue to operate as Minnesota's primary center fielder.

The Twins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Gonzalez will get his second stint with the big-league club in 2026 after appearing in one game against Boston in late May. With St. Paul, the 22-year-old has a slash line of .254/.318/.423 with 15 homers and 51 RBI over 444 plate appearances this season. The Twins sent Byron Buxton (hip) to the injured list in a corresponding move.

McMahon (thumb) is likely to be activated from the injured list Tuesday, per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network.

McMahon expects to return to the big-league club just 11 days after being sidelined by a thumb sprain. The 31-year-old is slashing .216/.282/.367 with 10 home runs and 32 RBI over 306 plate appearances this season. With rosters expanding Sept. 1, McMahon should be able to rejoin the big-league club with no corresponding move.

The Yankees optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

After appearing in both games during Saturday's doubleheader against Boston, the Yankees optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A. Since being called up Aug. 4, the 28-year-old yielded just two earned runs over 11.1 innings out of the bullpen for New York. The Yankees promoted Luis Gil from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace De Los Santos on the active roster.

The Yankees promoted Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Gil hasn't made an appearance in the majors since late April. The 28-year-old has mainly been working out of the bullpen at Triple-A and should take on the same role with the Yankees. In four outings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since returning from a shoulder issue, the right-hander owns a 3.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over nine innings. New York optioned Yerry De Los Santos to make room for Gil on the active roster.

Lombard (knee) is out of the Yankees' lineup for Sunday's game with the Red Sox.

Lombard will get his first day off since being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 4. The 21-year-old injured himself on a check swing during the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader with Boston, and while his knee checked out fine structurally, he's managing some inflammation, per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network. Jose Caballero will take over at shortstop for the Yankees.

Meidroth is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game with the Twins.

After an 0-for-4 performance Saturday, Meidroth will sit out the final game of a three-game set Sunday against the Twins. Sam Antonacci will move over to second base and lead off for the White Sox.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's affair with the Padres.

As San Diego sends out southpaw Robbie Ray, the left-handed hitter will take a seat. Jonny DeLuca will slide over to center field in place of Mullins.

Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

It's the fourth straight absence for Buxton, who continues to manage right hip discomfort. The 32-year-old is considered day-to-day for now, but an IL stint could be in store if he misses much more time. Top prospect Walker Jenkins is picking up a third consecutive start in center field Sunday for the Twins.

Hicks is absent from Tampa Bay's lineup for their matchup with San Diego on Sunday.

Despite recording at least one hit in five of his last six games, including a multi-hit performance Saturday, Hicks will ride the pine for Sunday's series finale. Nick Fortes will handle the catching duties and bat eighth for the Rays.
