  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: On bench Sunday

    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.

  • Kameron Misner CF | PHI

    Royals' Kameron Misner: Getting regular run in center

    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.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Taking seat Sunday

    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.

  • Astros' Christian Vazquez: Handed day off

    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.

  • Astros' Taylor Trammell: Sitting against right-hander

    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.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Resting up Sunday

    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.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Receiving afternoon off

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

    Raynel Delgado will make his first career MLB start while covering at third base in place of Paredes, who appears to be receiving a routine day off. Paredes had started 15 straight games, slashing .192/.333/.500 with four home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs during that stretch.

  • Rays' Casey Legumina: Working as opener

    Legumina will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Legumina will make his first start of the season after posting a 2.04 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB over 17.2 innings since the Rays acquired him from the Mariners in late April. The right-hander will likely cover an inning or two Sunday before giving way to the bullpen, with Ian Seymour likely to work as the Rays' primary pitcher.

  • Ian Seymour RP | TB

    Rays' Ian Seymour: Likely to follow opener

    Seymour won't start Sunday's game against the Angels but is expected to work behind opener Casey Legumina, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Seymour made his second start of the season in his previous appearance Monday versus Boston, where he allowed just one run while setting season highs in pitches (55) and innings (four). The left-hander is expected to fill the bulk role Sunday, though the Rays haven't officially confirmed those plans and could go in a different direction. It's been an up-and-down campaign for Seymour, who has a 4.89 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB over 35 innings.

  • Blue Jays' Yohendrick Pinango: Playing time on upswing

    Pinango will start in right field and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    With Daulton Varsho (wrist) recently joining Addison Barger (elbow) on the injured list, Pinango has a clearer path to playing time in the short term. He'll be making his sixth start in seven games Sunday after going 6-for-18 with a home run, two doubles, three walks and two RBI over the previous six contests.
