Buxton (shoulder) is not in the Twins' starting lineup against the Royals on Sunday.

Buxton will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game due to a right shoulder injury that he sustained Friday after colliding with the outfield wall. With the Twins off Monday, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com relays that Buxton has a good chance of being back in action for Tuesday's series opener against the Tigers. Ryan Kreidler will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.

Perez is not in Kansas City's starting lineup against Minnesota on Sunday.

Perez will be on the bench for a second consecutive game. Carter Jensen will handle catching duties while Starling Marte serves as the Royals' designated hitter for Sunday's series finale.

Caglianone (shoulder) is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Twins on Sunday.

Caglianone was removed from Saturday's game due to right shoulder soreness. He'll get a breather Sunday ahead of an off day Monday, and he could be back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Rangers. The Royals will start Isaac Collins, Lane Thomas and Tyler Tolbert in the outfield.

Fried (elbow) is expected to begin throwing from 120 feet and will also undergo more imaging during the upcoming week, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Fried has been out of action since landing on the 15-day IL in mid-May due to a left elbow bone bruise. He resumed playing catch May 25 but has yet to throw from a mound. The extension of his throwing distance thus represents a step forward for Fried, and his upcoming imaging could provide clearance for mound work if the results show adequate healing. Fried isn't likely to return to the Yankees' rotation until at least late June, however, and he may need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated.

Higashioka is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Sunday.

Higashioka will get a breather after starting the last four games. Elias Diaz will get the nod at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.

Seager is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Sunday.

Seager will get a breather after going 2-for-8 with a two-run home run in two games since being activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Ezequiel Duran will start at shortstop while Justin Foscue mans second base.

Mize (adductor) will make a rehab start with Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Mize landed on the 15-day injured list May 29 due to right adductor inflammation, but he doesn't appear to be headed for an extended stint on the shelf. After tossing a successful bullpen session Tuesday, Mize will now likely need just one rehab start before receiving the green light to rejoin the Detroit rotation. He could be a candidate to start for the Tigers as soon as next Sunday in Cleveland.

Mayo is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Blue Jays on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mayo will get a rest day after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's loss. Blaze Alexander will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.

Basallo (abdomen) is starting behind home plate and batting fifth against the Blue Jays on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Basallo was out of Saturday's lineup due to abdominal discomfort but entered the game in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter. He's been cleared to serve as the Orioles' catcher for Sunday's series finale while Adley Rutschman operates as the designated hitter.

Taveras is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Blue Jays on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Taveras will take a seat after going 0-for-8 with an RBI over the first two games of the series in Toronto. Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser and Tyler O'Neill will start in the outfield from left to right for Sunday's series finale.
