Campbell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Campbell has just one hit in his past 26 at-bats and has a .085 average (4-for-47) and 31.3 percent strikeout rate through 12 games in May, so he'll get a breather for Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta. David Hamilton will step in at the keystone and bat eighth for Boston.

Pena is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Pena has played every inning of all 45 games for the Astros in 2025, so he's getting a well-deserved day off after going 0-for-7 with two walks and a run in the first two games of the series at Texas. Mauricio Dubon will take over at shortstop while Isaac Paredes moves up to the leadoff spot.

Martin (elbow) threw a scoreless inning in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Martin recently dealt with elbow tightness and hadn't pitched since Tuesday, but imaging came back negative. With closer Luke Jackson (hand) still dealing with an injury, Martin could snag save opportunities in the short term.

The Twins selected McCusker's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The 26-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors Sunday after Byron Buxton (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Saturday. McCusker has a .350/.412/.650 slash line with 10 homers through 38 games for St. Paul this year, and he could see some action while up with the Twins given the club's injury situation.

The Orioles recalled Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

The 26-year-old was demoted to Norfolk on Wednesday but will quickly return to Baltimore with Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) headed to the injured list. Carlson has gone 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts while appearing in just 10 games for Baltimore this season. He'll provide some outfield depth but isn't likely to have a regular spot in the lineup even while O'Neill is sidelined.

The Orioles placed O'Neill on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left shoulder impingement, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

O'Neill was scratched from the lineup for Friday's series opener versus Washington and will now be sidelined for at least the next week due to the shoulder issue. The injury doesn't seem to be a serious concern, but it's already the second time this season the oft-injured outfielder has ended up on the shelf. Dylan Carlson was called up to provide outfield depth for Baltimore, which is likely to rely on Heston Kjerstad more while O'Neill is out.

Bieber (elbow) threw a live batting practice session Friday that Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said "went well," MLB.com reports.

Bieber has thrown a number of live BP sessions as he progresses through the rehab process. The Guardians are targeting a midseason return for the veteran right-hander.

The Twins placed Coulombe on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to an extensor strain in his left forearm.

It's unclear when Coulombe sustained the injury since he hasn't pitched since Wednesday. The left-hander hasn't given up a run through 19 appearances this season and owns a stellar 19:2 K:BB over 16.2 innings out of the Minnesota bullpen, but he'll now be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks.

Thomas (wrist) went 1-for-4 with a double for Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. He's 2-for-13 over four games while on a rehab assignment with the Clippers.

Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told MLB.com that Thomas is doing "really, really good." The Guardians estimated the outfielder would require about a week's worth of rehab games, which may come to end Sunday. Thomas has been on the 10-day injured list since April 20.

The Twins recalled Matthews from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of his start against the Brewers on Sunday.

The right-hander is taking the rotation spot of Simeon Woods Richardson, who was demoted earlier in the week due to his 5.02 ERA through eight appearances. Matthews struggled in his first taste of the majors last year with 28 earned runs and 11 homers allowed across 37.2 innings, but he's been dominant so far in 2025 for St. Paul with a 1.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB over 32.2 frames.
