MLB Player News

Naylor was removed from Sunday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent right shin injury, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

The 28-year-old fouled a pitch off himself during the top of the sixth inning and stayed in to finish his at-bat, but he was replaced by Patrick Wisdom at first base for the bottom of the frame. Naylor went 1-for-3 with a double prior to leaving the contest and should be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener versus the Orioles.

Bolte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The Athletics will hand Bolte a day off in the series finale after the rookie went 6-for-19 with a home run, a stolen base, two walks and two additional runs while starting in each of the team's last five games. Lawrence Butler will step in for Bolte in center field and will bat leadoff.

Estes was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

The right-hander made a spot start Saturday against the Rockies and will return to the minors after giving up four runs over 4.1 frames in a no-decision. It was the first MLB outing of the campaign for Estes, who has a 5.95 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 39:28 K:BB across 59 innings (12 starts) at Triple-A this year.

The Athletics recalled Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Basso was up with the A's for a couple weeks earlier this season and will now get another look in the big leagues. The 28-year-old made three appearances during that prior MLB stint and gave up two earned runs on five hits with one strikeout and one walk over 2.2 innings.

Wilson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The 24-year-old returned from the injured list Friday and will receive a day off after going 1-for-7 with a walk, two RBI and one run in his first two games back from a dislocated left shoulder. With Wilson on the bench, Alika Williams will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.

Misner will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Misner will draw a fourth straight start after going 4-for-9 with a walk and three RBI over the prior three contests. The 28-year-old looks poised to handle an everyday role in center field for Kansas City while Kyle Isbel (foot) is on the shelf.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Langeliers started the previous 11 contests and will rest Sunday after posting a .231/.245/.519 slash line with three doubles, four homers and nine runs during that span. Jonah Heim will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Jeffrey Springs in the series finale versus Colorado.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Vazquez will get a breather for the series finale after he had started behind the plate in four straight games. Rookie Collin Price will handle catching duties Sunday.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Trammell will take a seat for the fourth time in five games, with the absences equally split between right-handed and left-handed pitchers. The 28-year-old looks like he'll be part of a timeshare in left field with Joey Loperfido for the time being.

Altuve is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Altuve will be rested for a second straight Sunday in what's presumably part of a load management plan following his return from an oblique strain. Brice Matthews will cover second base and bat seventh in the series finale.
