Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Wong will get a breather Sunday after he started behind the plate in three of the Red Sox's previous four contests. Carlos Narvaez will handle catching duties in the series finale.

Seigler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Seigler will head to the bench for the second time in the series after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-2 win. Nick Sogard will replace Seigler at second base and atop the batting order.

Bachman is dealing with right arm fatigue, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Bachman entered Sunday's 3-0 win over Milwaukee in the top of the eighth inning, recording one out while walking a batter before he was removed from the contest. Bachman threw nine total pitches before his departure, and manager Kurt Suzuki explained after the game that the right-handed pitcher is dealing with some "dead arm." Bachman is expected to be further evaluated, and it's currently unclear if he'll need to undergo an MRI.

The Blue Jays transferred Sosa (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Sosa will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Jameson Taillon, whom the Blue Jays acquired in a trade with the Cubs. The 26-year-old infielder has been on the shelf since May 28 due to a right wrist contusion and was pulled off a rehab assignment in late June after experiencing a setback. He resumed taking live batting practice last week and should be ready to report back to an affiliate in the near future.

The Mariners recalled Simpson from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of Sunday's game against the Twins.

Simpson has appeared in four games out of the Seattle bullpen this season, giving up three earned runs on four hits and two walks across three innings. He'll likely be in store for an abbreviated stay with the big club, as the Mariners will need to clear room on the 26-man active roster for the newly acquired Seranthony Dominguez prior to Tuesday's series opener with the Tigers.

Melton exited Triple-A Durham's game against Gwinnett on Saturday due to right hamstring tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 25-year-old has played in just 36 games for Durham this season, missing time on account of a left ankle issue and now because of a hamstring injury. Melton has produced a .285/.381/.520 slash line with five home runs and 23 steals with Durham.

The Rays transferred Fraley (hernia) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Freddy Peralta, whom the Rays acquired in a deal with the Mets. Fraley had already been on the shelf since May 17 while recovering from hernia surgery, so his move to the 60-day IL won't affect his timeline to rejoin the big club. The outfielder was pulled off a rehab assignment in early July after experiencing some discomfort in his groin area, and it's unclear when he might be ready to return to action in the minors.

The Tigers recalled Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

The right-hander will fill the roster spot vacated by Tarik Skubal, whose trade to the Dodgers was made official Sunday. Hanifee has been a solid relief option for Detroit this season with a 3.98 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 20.1 innings, though he's surrendered nine home runs and struck out just eight batters.

Garcia was traded from the Nationals to the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for Ben Grable, Yovanny Cruz, Jack Cebert and Jake Bird, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Garcia will head to the Bronx after posting a .283/.313/.560 slash with 23 home runs, 76 RBI, 48 runs scored and four stolen bases over 357 at-bats in 104 contests with the Nationals this season. The 26-year-old has started 93 contests at first base and the other nine at designated hitter, but prior to 2026, Garcia operated primarily as a second baseman, and he may be asked to spell Jazz Chisholm at that spot occasionally.

The White Sox optioned Davitt to Triple-A Charlotte after Sunday's 9-1 win over the Rays.

Davitt was called up ahead of Sunday's contest and tossed an inning of relief, allowing one run on two hits while striking out one. The right-hander is expected to be replaced on the 26-man active roster by the newly acquired Luis Castillo, who is expected to make his White Sox debut during the team's upcoming series versus the Red Sox.
