Bradish (5-9) took the loss Sunday against the Reds, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over 7.2 innings. He struck out five.

Bradish pitched well Sunday, as he held the Reds to two runs on Spencer Steer's fifth-inning homer before giving up another run on a two-out hit in the eighth. However, Baltimore failed to provide Bradish with enough run support in an eventual 3-2 defeat. The right-hander has now dropped back-to-back starts, though he's given up just seven earned runs across 27.1 innings in his last four outings. Overall, Bradish's ERA sits at 3.75 with a 1.40 WHIP and 101:48 K:BB across 18 starts (100.2 innings) this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Royals at home his next time out.

Chisholm went 1-for-2 before being removed prior to the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Twins due to an unspecified issue, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

The Yankees should provide word later Sunday regarding what prompted Chisholm's removal from the game, but he appeared to be in some discomfort after fouling off a pitch in his fifth-inning at-bat before ultimately flying out to right field. Jose Caballero shifted over from third base to replace Chisholm at second base in the top of the sixth.

Allen will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rays.

Since coming off the 10-day injured list Monday, Allen has drawn starts in five of Houston's ensuing six games while going 3-for-14 with a double, two walks, two runs and one RBI. Per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Astros manager Joe Espada said prior to Sunday's game that he anticipates top shortstop Jeremy Pena (calf) returning from the IL as soon as next Friday, so Allen's run as a regular in the lineup will soon come to an end.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

He'll rest up for the series finale after logging starts behind the plate in each of the Astros' previous four games. Christian Vazquez will serve as Houston's catcher Sunday.

Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Walls will get a breather after he went 10-for-36 (.278 average) with one stolen base, nine runs and two RBI while starting in the Rays' previous 11 games. Ben Williamson will replace Walls at shortstop and will bat sixth in the series finale.

Osuna is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Josh Smith will draw the start in left field while Osuna rests in the series finale. Osuna had been in the lineup the previous 13 games, slashing .250/.294/.271 with zero home runs or stolen bases, five runs and four RBI.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Higashioka initially looked primed to serve as the Rangers' No. 1 backstop when Danny Jansen (forearm) landed on the injured list June 6, but the hot-hitting Elias Diaz has instead leapfrogged him on the depth chart. Higashioka will hit the bench for the fifth time in the last eight games, with one of his three starts during that stretch coming at designated hitter.

McNeil was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

McNeil was initially slated to serve as the designated hitter, but Jonah Heim will instead handle those duties. The A's haven't indicated that the late lineup change was the result of an injury or illness, so McNeil may simply be getting the afternoon off after going 2-for-20 over the last seven contests.

Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Lee had settled in as the Tigers' primary option at second base to close out June, but he looks to have moved into more of a part-time role since the calendar flipped to July. He'll be on the bench for the third time in four games to begin the month while Zach McKinstry grabs a start at the keystone.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Marte will retreat to the bench after he served as the Royals' designated hitter in each of the last three games while going a collective 2-for-9 at the plate. All three of those starts came against left-handed pitching, and Marte appears unlikely to break out of a short-side platoon role anytime soon. He's logged 116 plate appearances on the season, with 88 coming against lefties.
