Tigers' Brant Hurter: Comes off 60-day IL
Detroit reinstated Hurter (back) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Hurter last pitched for the Tigers on May 22 and has been rehabbing from a back injury. He spent about a month in the minors working his way back into form. To make room for Hurter on the 40-man roster, Matt Vierling (adductor/heel) was placed on the 60-day IL. Andrew Sears was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.

Royals' Carter Jensen: Beginning Sunday on bench
Jensen isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's tilt against Toronto.
Jensen will get a well-deserved rest after starting behind the plate in six straight contests. He's off to a scorching start to September, slashing .421/.476/1.158 with three home runs and six RBI through five games. Luke Maile will get a turn at catcher in Jensen's stead Sunday.

Orioles' Albert Suarez: Loses spot on 40-man roster
The Orioles designated Suarez for assignment Sunday.
Suarez has struggled of late, giving up four runs over six innings across his past three appearances. His overall 4.12 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 59 big-league innings this season aren't horrible, but Baltimore has opted to jettison Suarez from the roster. Rece Hinds was recalled from the minors in a corresponding move.

Orioles' Rece Hinds: Getting look from Orioles
Baltimore recalled Hinds from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
Hinds had already seen action in the majors with two different clubs this season, slashing .114/.158/.200 with no homers and five RBI across 13 games between Cincinnati and Miami. He'll look to make a better impression with the Orioles, who traded for Hinds in early August. Hinds doesn't figure to start regularly, but he'll give Baltimore outfield depth with both Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) and Christian Franklin (hand) currently on the injured list.

Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Resting up for series finale
Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Ramirez appears to be receiving a planned day off after he had started the previous 12 games, including both ends of a doubleheader Friday. Angel Genao will check in at third base in place of Ramirez, who has gone 3-for-23 with one run and no RBI through the first six games of September.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Out for second straight game
DeLauter (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Nathan Eaton LF | BOS
Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Returns to Red Sox
Boston recalled Eaton from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
In a stint with the big-league club from mid-June to mid-July earlier this season, Eaton slashed just .125/.282/.281 with one homer, five RBI and two stolen bases over 14 games. He's been a bit better in the minors, posting a .756 OPS across 363 plate appearances while swiping 19 bags for Worcester. Eaton's call-up is a corresponding move to Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps) being placed on the 10-day IL.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Delivers two runs in win
Kiner-Falefa started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.
Kiner-Falefa stroked a two-out, two-run double in the seventh inning to account for Boston's final offense. He entered the starting lineup as Nick Sogard moved from second to third base to cover for a slumping Caleb Durbin. With Durbin returning to the hot corner Sunday, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, Sogard moves back to the keystone and Kiner-Falefa returns to the bench. Kiner-Falefa has appeared in four of five games since being activated from the IL on Sept. 1, but only two of those outings have come as a starter.
