Dietrich Enns RP | BAL
Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Remains in organization
Enns cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Enns posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB across 16 innings for Baltimore before being dumped from the 40-man roster.

Mariners' Mitch Garver: Stuck in timeshare
Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Though he appeared likely to take over as the Mariners' clear No. 1 catcher when Cal Raleigh (oblique) was placed on the injured list earlier this month, Garver has instead been used in a timeshare behind the plate with Jhonny Pereda. Since Raleigh last played May 13, Garver has made seven starts to Pereda's nine.

Henry Bolte CF | ATH
Athletics' Henry Bolte: Relegated to bench Sunday
Bolte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in addition to committing an error in Saturday's 6-4 win, Bolte will head to the bench in the series finale. Lawrence Butler will replace Bolte as the Athletics' starting center fielder Sunday.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Idle against southpaw
McMahon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
McMahon is in the midst of one of his best stretches of the season, having gone 9-for-29 (.310 average) with three home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and five runs over his last eight games. The Yankees will hold him out of the starting nine Sunday with southpaw Jacob Lopez on the hill, but the left-handed-hitting McMahon should continue to receive regular at-bats against right-handed pitching while he's swinging a hot bat.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Taking seat against lefty
Chisholm is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The Yankees will keep the left-handed-hitting Chisholm on the bench for a second straight matchup versus a southpaw, as he'll give way to Max Schuemann at second base while the Athletics send lefty Jacob Lopez to the hill. Chisholm is slashing just .234/.286/.344 (77 wRC+) over 70 plate appearances against lefties this season.

Shea Langeliers C | ATH
Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Receiving break Sunday
Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Langeliers started the previous 12 games but will receive a day off after posting a .130/.259/.304 slash line during that span. Jonah Heim is starting behind the plate and batting fifth for the series finale versus New York.

Jesus Sanchez RF | TOR
Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Tending to bruised wrist
The Blue Jays announced that Sanchez was removed in the bottom of the sixth inning of Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles due to a right wrist contusion.
Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a base hit before leaving the game midway through the bottom of the sixth, when he appeared to be hit by a ball thrown into the field of play by a fan. Fortunately for Sanchez, precautionary X-rays came back negative, and he'll get an extra day to rest up and recover before the Blue Jays return to action Tuesday in Atlanta. Yohendrick Pinango replaced Sanchez in right field during Sunday's contest and would likely be the top choice to start Tuesday if Sanchez isn't ready to play.

Evan Carter CF | TEX
Rangers' Evan Carter: Available off bench Sunday
Carter (foot) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Michael Helman will pick up a second straight start in center field in place of Carter, who was removed from Friday's 9-1 win after being hit on the left foot by an 86.9-mph slider in the seventh inning. According to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, tests on Carter's foot came back negative, but the 23-year-old is still dealing with some soreness. He'll be available off the bench Sunday, but the Rangers may prefer to stay away from him to ensure that he's ready to go for Monday's series opener in St. Louis.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: No decision yet on IL stint
Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers as the Royals await test results on the right hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday's 7-6 loss, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Garcia sustained the injury in the seventh inning Saturday while running the bases and was immediately lifted. At this stage, the 26-year-old appears more likely than not to wind up on the IL, but the Royals are holding out hope that he's dealing with a low-grade strain that may cause him to miss just a few games.
