Karros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Karros started the past five games after returning from a concussion Tuesday, going 3-for-19 with a triple and a solo homer, and he'll get a breather Sunday. Vimael Machin will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh for the Rockies in the series finale.

Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Goodman will take a seat Sunday after starting the previous five games as he continues to struggle offensively with a .122/.200/.286 slash line across his past 13 contests. Brett Sullivan is working behind the plate and batting eighth in the series finale for Colorado.

Baty (knee) is starting at second base and batting eighth in Sunday's series finale against the Yankees.

Baty was out of the Mets' lineup the last two games while working through a left knee injury, but he's been cleared to play in Sunday's matinee. He recorded a hit in each of his last six games prior to his injury, going 6-for-14 with two home runs, 10 RBI and two doubles in that span.

Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Torres, who is batting .333 (9-for-27) with three walks, a double, one RBI and nine runs in his past seven contests. Hao-Yu Lee will man the keystone while Colt Keith handles third base, freeing up first base for Spencer Torkelson.

Kirk is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Orioles on Sunday.

Kirk will be on the bench for Sunday's series finale while Brandon Valenzuela starts behind home plate and bats eighth, forming a battery with right-hander Dylan Cease. Kirk has reached base safely in seven consecutive games, going 9-for-28 (.321) with two home runs and seven RBI in that span.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

Abreu broke a tie with a two-out, two-run double in the sixth inning. Saturday's effort was the third consecutive game with an extra-base hit and RBI for the outfielder. Abreu remains a productive hitter deep into a season in which he's logged a career-high 630 plate appearances; he has a .538 slugging percentage and 30 extra-base hits over 53 contests since the All-Star break.

Manager Mark Kotsay said after Saturday's game against the Mariners that Jump has a shoulder impingement and will be re-evaluated Sunday, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander felt some tightness while throwing in the bullpen prior to Saturday's start, but he pitched through it and was dealt his 11th loss of the campaign after giving up five runs across two innings. The A's figure to be cautious with Jump down the stretch as his rookie campaign nears the finish line.

Jimenez (knee) faced five hitters in a simulated bullpen session Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Jimenez is in the final stages of his recovery from multiple surgeries on his left knee, and he hasn't pitched in a game at any level since the end of the 2024 season. The next step for the veteran right-hander is to pitch in an instructional league game, since minor-league seasons are coming to an end. Jimenez is unlikely to pitch for Atlanta this season, but he is trending toward being available for the start of spring training.

McGonigle went 2-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

McGonigle is batting only .244 across 10 contests this month, though he's gone deep three times in his last five games. Overall, the rookie infielder is batting .272 with 17 home runs, and the fact that his power is beginning to emerge at the MLB level is a promising sign going forward. McGonigle profiles as someone who can maintain a strong batting average throughout his career, and it's starting to look like he could be a perennial threat to tally 20 homers as well.

Valencia went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

Valencia isn't seeing everyday playing time as the backup to Dillon Dingler behind the plate, but he's performing well when given the opportunity. The 26-year-old rookie is slashing .320/.340/.598 with six home runs and 18 RBI across 97 at-bats so far this season. It will be interesting to see what Valencia's role will be in 2027, as it appears he can hit at the MLB level, but the 27-year-old Dingler also looks to be part of Detroit's long-term plans.
