Woods Richardson will make his next start Wednesday in Detroit while he recovers from a stomach bug, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 24-year-old was penciled in to start Sunday in Cleveland but will end up being pushed back a few days in the schedule so that he can move past the illness. Woods Richardson hasn't given up more than three earned runs in any of his past eight outings and has a 2.58 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 30:18 K:BB across 38.1 innings during that span.

O'Neill (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

According to Jake Rill of MLB.com, O'Neill is showing improvement in his recovery from an illness and should be back in the lineup Monday against the Phillies. Jeremiah Jackson will handle right field in his absence.

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

The 24-year-old was acquired by Chicago from Tampa Bay in the Adrian Houser trade Thursday and won't have to wait long to make his White Sox debut after Miguel Vargas (oblique) landed on the injured list. Mead should help fill in for Vargas at first base but could also see action at second and third base.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Ben Rice will get the nod at first base Sunday, but Goldschmidt had occupied the position in five of the past six matchups -- all against right-handed pitchers. Though Rice has been far more productive against righties among the two players this season, Goldschmidt's longer track record of success in the big leagues has at least temporarily prevented him from falling into a pure short-side platoon role. Goldschmidt is slashing just .200/.256/.250 with a 37.2 percent strikeout rate since the All-Star break, however, and it's unclear how much patience manager Aaron Boone will exercise with the 37-year-old if he continues to languish.

The White Sox placed Vargas on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

Vargas was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 1-0 win due to the injury and will be sidelined for at least another nine days, though he doesn't have an official timeline for his return. Curtis Mead was called up from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move and could see time at first base while Vargas is out.

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

With Steven Kwan staying put at the trade deadline and prospect C.J. Kayfus getting promoted from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Jones looks set to fall into a bench role. He'll be on the bench for a third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Jose Urena) while Kayfus receives the start in right field.

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

Santana appears to be getting a well-earned rest for a day game. Kyle Manzardo will start at first base and C.J. Kayfus will serve as Cleveland's designated hitter.

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

Rocchio will take a seat after he had started each of the Guardians' previous 24 games while slashing .287/.330/.475 with one home run, 15 RBI and nine runs. Daniel Schneemann will fill in at second base.

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

Though he has a clearer path to playing time after Minnesota moved Harrison Bader and Willi Castro at the trade deadline, Keirsey may still be in line for only a part-time role while Bryon Buxton (rib) is on the injured list. Minnesota recalled Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, and he and Keirsey appear likely to share time in center field until Buxton returns. A strong defender who's capable of contributing on the basepaths (eight steals in 11 attempts), Keirsey doesn't profile as a big-league-caliber hitter after struggling to a .110/.141/.183 slash line in 85 plate appearances with the Twins this season.

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

Though he'll take a seat with southpaw Joey Cantillo on the hill for Cleveland, Roden could be in line for regular at-bats against righties, at least until one or both of Byron Buxton (rib) and Luke Keaschall (forearm) come off the injured list. After being acquired from the Blue Jays on Thursday, Roden started Minnesota's first two games in Cleveland, going 1-for-10 with a double and a run scored while striking out six times.
