Lopez will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Lopez will remain in the starting nine for a third straight game after he went 2-for-7 over the first two contests of the series. The 31-year-old journeyman could be in store for a regular role until Texas gets Corey Seager (concussion) back from the 7-day injured list.

The Athletics selected Meneses' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, and he's batting sixth as the designated hitter against the Angels.

The 34-year-old will immediately enter the starting nine after getting called up for his first stint in the big leagues since 2024. Meneses has taken advantage of the hitter-friendly environment of the Pacific Coast League this year with a .348/.401/.539 slash line in 69 games.

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

Fry had drawn four consecutive starts from Saturday through Thursday, but he's been on the bench for all three games of the Guardians' weekend series in Houston. Each of those absences have come against right-handed pitchers, so Fry appears as though he'll remain in a short-side platoon role even while Jose Ramirez (hand), Angel Martinez (foot) and Chase DeLauter (ribs) are on the IL.

The Rangers recalled Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

The right-hander will get a look with the Rangers for the first time this season after struggling to a 6.08 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 26.2 innings with Round Rock. Corniell has primarily worked as a starter at Triple-A, but it's not yet clear if he's seen as a candidate to replace Jack Leiter (ankle) in the rotation.

Holliday (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Holliday will miss out at least one start after he was lifted in the eighth inning of Saturday's 3-2 win due to groin tightness, though he said that he's not overly concerned about the injury and thinks that he could play off the bench Sunday if needed, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Jeremiah Jackson came on the replace him Saturday and will draw the start at second base in Holliday's stead in the series finale.

Mesa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

The left-handed hitter will hit the bench for the second time in the series, as the Nationals send southpaw Andrew Alvarez to the hill Sunday. Mesa could struggle to find consistent playing time versus righties as well, after the Rays brought Jonny DeLuca back from the injured list Friday. Despite logging just nine of his 55 plate appearances against same-handed pitching since his May 24 call-up from Triple-A Durham, Mesa is slashing a meager .174/.296/.304 with two home runs, sevens runs and five RBI.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

The left-handed-hitting Mullins will take a seat for the series finale while the Nationals send southpaw Andrew Alvarez to the bump. Jonny DeLuca will replace Mullins in center field and will bat second.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

With left-hander Andrew Alvarez on the bump for the Nationals, Palacios will give way to platoon mate Ben Williamson at second base in the series finale. Palacios has logged just 26 plate appearances versus lefties on the season, slashing .250/.308/.333 in those matchups.

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

After drawing starts behind the plate the past three games while going 1-for-5 with a double, two walks and two runs, Feduccia will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Nick Fortes will receive the nod at catcher and bat eighth.

Gelof (head) is starting at second base and batting leadoff Sunday against the Angels.

Gelof was held out of Saturday's starting nine after being hit by a pitch in the ear flap of his helmet Friday, but he'll rejoin the lineup after sitting out just one game. The 26-year-old will look to extend his 23-game hit streak, during which he's batting .348 (31-for-89) with six doubles, five homers, two steals, 12 RBI and 16 runs.
