Basallo is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

With southpaw Framber Valdez taking the hill for the Tigers in the first game of the twin bill, Basallo will be given a breather while Baltimore goes with Adley Rutschman behind the plate and Taylor Ward at designated hitter. Basallo will most likely handle catching duties for the Orioles in the nightcap.

Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The Orioles have now held the left-handed-hitting Holliday out of the lineup for all three of their matchups with left-handed starting pitchers since he returned from the injured list Monday. Holliday should eventually see more chances against southpaws once he's further removed from the hand injury that has kept him on the shelf for most of the season, but Jeremiah Jackson will get the nod at second base in the first game of the day while the Orioles face off against Framber Valdez.

The Rays recalled Mesa from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Mesa will join the Rays as a replacement on the active roster for Jonny DeLuca (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. In DeLuca's absence, Mesa should see a fair amount of starts in the outfield, especially against right-handed pitching. He'll be on the bench for Sunday's game against the Yankees, however, with southpaw Ryan Weathers on the hill for New York.

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

Detroit had optioned Vanasco to Triple-A on May 15, but he'll make a quick return after left-hander Brant Hurter (spine) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Vanasco yielded eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits and four walks over 4.1 innings across his first four appearances of the season and will likely be used in a lower-leverage role.

The Rays placed DeLuca on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain.

DeLuca strained his right hamstring while running the bases during Friday's 4-2 win over the Yankees. The 27-year-old outfielder will be eligible to return from the shelf June 3, but it's unclear if he'll have a shot at rejoining the Rays at that time. Victor Mesa was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move and could work in a platoon in right field with Ryan Vilade while DeLuca is on the IL.

The Tigers placed Hurter on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to lumbar spine inflammation.

Hurter was lifted from his most recent relief appearance Friday due to what manager A.J. Hinch referred to as a back issue, and follow-up tests revealed that the lefty reliever was contending with lumbar inflammation. Detroit recalled Ricky Vanasco from Triple-A Toledo to replace Hurter in the bullpen.

The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Allen has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he's started in eight games and has a 2-1 record with a 5.45 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 43:19 K:BB across 38 innings. Although he's been a starter his entire career, the Guardians don't have an obvious opening in the rotation, so Allen will most likely be ticketed for a multi-inning role out of the bullpen. The Guardians designated right-hander Peyton Pallette for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Tigers appointed Summers from Triple-A Toledo to serve as their 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

He's expected to return to Toledo following the twin bill. Sommers made four appearances out of the Tigers bullpen in 2025 but has worked exclusively at Triple-A so far the season, posting a 3.10 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

The Guardians designated Pallette for assignment Sunday.

A Rule 5 Draft pick this past winter, Pallete must go unclaimed off waivers and be offered to the White Sox before the Guardians can outright the right-hander to the minors. Over 20.2 innings out of the Cleveland bullpen this season, Pallette posted a 5.23 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 22:16 K:BB. The Guardians recalled left-hander Logan Allen from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

Workman is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

Since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on May 10, Workman has provided five extra-base hits (two home runs, three doubles), but he's batting just .188 overall and has struck out in 16 of his 32 plate appearances. Even with Detroit still down three everyday players in Gleyber Torres (oblique), Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) and Javier Baez (ankle), Workman may have to settle for a part-time role if his contact woes continue.
