  • Dietrich Enns RP | BAL

    Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Remains in organization

    Enns cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Enns posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB across 16 innings for Baltimore before being dumped from the 40-man roster.

  • Matt Pushard RP | STL

    Cardinals' Matt Pushard: Loses 40-man roster spot

    The Cardinals designated Pushard for assignment Sunday.

    Since Pushard was selected in the Rule 5 Draft over the winter, the Cardinals will have to offer him back to the Marlins if he ends up clearing waivers. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 5.14 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB in seven innings over six appearances out of the St. Louis bullpen and hadn't been used since being reinstated from the 15-day injured list May 16.

  • Alex Freeland 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Alex Freeland: Seeing steady run at 2B

    Freeland will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Freeland has gone hitless in five at-bats since being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, but he'll crack the starting nine for the third time in four games nonetheless. With the Dodgers recently optioning Hyeseong Kim to Triple-A, Freeland should have a clear path to steady playing time at second base in the short term. However, Freeland's opportunities could take a hit once Tommy Edman (ankle) returns from the 60-day injured list, likely at some point in the next couple of weeks.

  • Hunter Dobbins SP | STL

    Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Rejoins MLB club

    The Cardinals recalled Dobbins from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    After opening the season on the injured list while completing his rehab from knee surgery, Dobbins made his Cardinals debut April 30 in Pittsburgh and was optioned to Memphis after giving up three runs across 4.1 innings. The right-hander has worked out of the rotation at Triple-A but should immediately be available out of the bullpen for St. Louis since he was scheduled to start Sunday for Memphis. According to Jones, the Cardinals could look to insert Dobbins into the rotation if he's not needed in Sunday's contest.

  • Alex Call LF | LAD

    Dodgers' Alex Call: Sitting after three straight starts

    Call is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Call had started each of the Dodgers' last three games following Teoscar Hernandez's (hamstring) placement on the injured list, going 3-for-9 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run. The 31-year-old is now holding down an .800 OPS over 70 plate appearances on the season, and the Dodgers may continue to lean on him as a near-everyday player in the outfield while Hernandez is on the shelf. Ryan Ward will replace Call in left field for Sunday's series finale, however.

  • Mitch Garver C | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Stuck in timeshare

    Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Though he appeared likely to take over as the Mariners' clear No. 1 catcher when Cal Raleigh (oblique) was placed on the injured list earlier this month, Garver has instead been used in a timeshare behind the plate with Jhonny Pereda. Since Raleigh last played May 13, Garver has made seven starts to Pereda's nine.

  • Tommy Troy LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Resting Sunday

    Troy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Troy will hit the bench for the series finale while the Diamondbacks go with Tim Tawa in left field. The 24-year-old Troy had started in each of Arizona's last six games, going 5-for-19 with two doubles and a 3:4 BB:K while scoring five runs.

  • Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Taking seat Sunday

    Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    The Diamondbacks are giving Ketel Marte a day off from playing second base but keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter, so Del Castillo will be the odd man out of the starting nine as a result. Del Castillo had served as Arizona's designated hitter for the past five games, going 4-for-14 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and an additional run during that stretch. The 26-year-old could soon be at risk of losing hold of his strong-side platoon role, however; Pavin Smith (elbow) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could take over as the Diamondbacks' primary DH if he's activated from the 60-day injured list during the upcoming week.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Taking seat Sunday

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Moreno will be rested for the series finale after he started at catcher Friday and Saturday, going 3-for-9 with a double, two RBI and a run between those contests. Aramis Garcia will step in for Moreno behind the dish Sunday.

  • Henry Bolte CF | ATH

    Athletics' Henry Bolte: Relegated to bench Sunday

    Bolte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in addition to committing an error in Saturday's 6-4 win, Bolte will head to the bench in the series finale. Lawrence Butler will replace Bolte as the Athletics' starting center fielder Sunday.
