Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Though he'll be hitting the bench Sunday with a southpaw (Ranger Suarez) on the hill for the Red Sox, the left-handed-hitting Walton may be fading into more of a part-time role against right-handed pitching too. He started in just one of the Angels' last four matchups versus righties, with Oswald Peraza covering the keystone in each of the other three contests. Walton is still holding down a strong .836 OPS over 96 plate appearances on the season with the Angels, but he's gone just 3-for-16 with a 2:6 BB:K over his last seven games.

Schanuel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Left-hander Ranger Suarez is toeing the rubber for the Red Sox in the series finale, so the left-handed-hitting Schanuel will be handed a night off. Vaughn Grissom will replace Schanuel at first base and will bat third.

The Angels announced Saturday that Frazier (elbow) has been hitting on the field, taking grounders and running, but he's not yet throwing at full intensity, MLB.com reports.

Frazier began a throwing program June 24, but he's still working his way up to making throws at 100 percent. The veteran infielder is expected to return in July, but he may have to wait until after the All-Star break before coming off the 10-day injured list.

Fedde (4-6) notched the win Sunday against the Guardians, allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits and one walk in 5.1 innings of relief. He struck out four.

A fielding error by Colson Montgomery in the fifth inning kept an earned run off Fedde's line in the hurler's longest outing since April 29 against the Angels. The 33-year-old right-hander hasn't been particularly effective at missing bats in 2026, fanning more than four on just one occasion through 18 appearances. Fedde will bring a pedestrian 4.34 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 57:34 K:BB over 85 innings into his next scheduled outing against the Athletics.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Gonzalez will hit the bench after he started in each of the Red Sox's last four games while going 6-for-16 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and two runs. Masataka Yoshida will serve as Boston's designated hitter Sunday, but he's generated a tepid .250/.331/.350 slash line on the season and could see his opportunities take a hit while Gonzalez has produced well since returning from the 60-day injured list June 28.

D'Arnaud (foot) has been swinging a bat and throwing, but he has yet to resume running and is expected to be out for multiple more weeks, per MLB.com.

Running will be a big hurdle for d'Arnaud to clear given the right foot plantar fasciitis that has sidelined him since early May. The veteran catcher is coming up on the date when he'll be eligible to be activated from the 60-day IL, but it sounds like he'll be out several weeks beyond the minimum. With d'Arnaud out of action, Tyler Heineman is currently the Angels' No. 2 backstop behind Logan O'Hoppe.

Atlanta outrighted Hamilton to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Hamilton will stick around in the organization as bullpen depth at the Triple-A level after going unclaimed off waivers over the weekend. Before Atlanta dropped him from its 40-man roster Friday, Hamilton made four appearances out of the big-league bullpen and gave up four earned runs on six hits and three walks across 4.2 innings.

Bibee took a no-decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out one.

Bibee was crushed by hard contact, serving up at least three home runs for the third time already this year. The 27-year-old right-hander also established a season low in strikeouts, as Sunday's showing is particularly discouraging after he turned in a quality start in five of his last six outings. Bibee is set to carry a 4.06 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 84:30 K:BB over 106.1 innings into a tough road assignment in Miami.

Marsee was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics due to a right knee contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-1 with two runs scored before leaving the game.

Marsee was hit in the right kneecap by a pitch from Gage Jump in the third inning. The outfielder initially stayed in the game to run the bases but was replaced by Griffin Conine in the bottom of the frame. The good news for Marsee is that X-rays came back negative, and with the Marlins having an off-day Monday, he may not miss time and could be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners.

Ryan (6-5) notched the win Sunday against the Yankees, allowing no runs on three hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out nine.

Ryan dazzled at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, scattering three singles across seven shutout innings and registering an impressive 17 whiffs. The nine punchouts tied a season high for the All-Star right-hander, who regained his form in a big way after yielding 10 runs over his prior two starts. Ryan is set to take a strong 3.36 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 122:23 K:BB over 104.1 innings into a favorable home matchup versus the Angels.
