The Red Sox placed Seigler on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right wrist inflammation.

Seigler's wrist issue flared up during Saturday's game against the Royals, and further testing led to an IL stint. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Nick Sogard will be the main depth infield options for Boston while Seigler is on the shelf. In a corresponding move, Willson Contreras (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

The Nationals activated Nunez (personal) from the bereavement list Sunday.

Nunez has been away from the team for the past few days but is back on the active roster ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the Angels. The 26-year-old was filling a reduced role prior to the absence while in the midst of a 3-for-40 slump.

The Red Sox reinstated Contreras from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting at first base Sunday against the Royals, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The veteran slugger is ready to rejoin the Red Sox after going 2-for-7 with two RBI and three strikeouts during a two-game rehab assignment. Contreras landed on the shelf due to a left hamstring strain Aug. 31, but he ended up missing just a little more than the 10-day minimum.

The Athletics optioned Estes to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

The move corresponds with the Athletics recalling southpaw Drew Rom from Triple-A. Estes was rocked for five runs on seven hits (including three home runs) and one walk while striking out one batter over three innings during the Athletics' 19-1 loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

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

Rom will be back in the majors for the first time since Aug. 24. Across 12 big-league outings this season, he has a 6.35 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and three holds across 11.1 innings. Right-hander Joey Estes was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Mullins is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mullins has gone 2-for-20 across his past seven games and will take a seat Sunday even though Houston is sending right-hander Hayden Wesneski to the mound. Jonny DeLuca is starting in center field and batting sixth in the series finale.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Hicks has a .646 OPS through nine games in September and will hit the bench Sunday after starting the first two games of the series versus Houston. Nick Fortes is working behind the plate and batting ninth in the finale.

Heim is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Sunday.

Heim will get a breather after going 2-for-8 over the first two games of the series against Seattle. Brian Serven will start behind home plate and bat eighth while forming a battery with southpaw Jacob Lopez.

Langeliers is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Sunday.

Langeliers made his return from the IL on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI in a 19-1 loss to Seattle. Max Muncy will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while Brian Serven starts behind home plate.

The Marlins placed Caissie on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a lumbar stress reaction.

Caissie was initially diagnosed with hamstring tightness after being removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers. However, further tests have revealed a lower-back injury for the 24-year-old outfielder, and he won't be eligible to return until the last week of the regular season. Xavier Edwards (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.
