India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

India has a .184/.340/.342 slash line through 47 plate appearances this year and finds himself on the bench Sunday for the second time in Kansas City's past three games. Michael Massey is picking up another start at the keystone in the series finale versus Chicago.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Benintendi will hit the bench for the second time in the series, sitting along with Dustin Harris and Tristan Peters against southpaw Noah Cameron. The White Sox will go with Lenyn Sosa as its designated hitter and Tanner Murray, Luisangel Acuna and Derek Hill in the outfield.

Peters is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Peters will hit the bench for the second time in the series, sitting along with Dustin Harris and Andrew Benintendi against southpaw Noah Cameron. The White Sox will go with a starting outfield of Tanner Murray, Luisangel Acuna and Derek Hill in the series finale.

Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

The left-handed hitter will take a seat for the second time in the series against another southpaw in Noah Cameron. Harris has started three straight games against right-handed pitching and could have a hold on a strong-side platoon role until Chicago gets Kyle Teel (hamstring) or Austin Hays (hamstring) back from the injured list. A promotion for top prospect Sam Antonacci could also block Harris' path to regular playing time in left field.

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

Williamson had started 10 of the past 11 games, but he'll take a seat Sunday while Taylor Walls and Richie Palacios form the Rays' middle-infield tandem. Once Gavin Lux (shoulder) is cleared to return from the injured list, Williamson could move into a utility role.

The Orioles recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 26-year-old was added to the taxi squad Sunday morning, and it didn't take long for him to join the active roster once Tyler O'Neill (concussion) landed on the injured list. Rodriguez should serve as a reserve outfielder while up in the majors.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Betts is "symptom-free" in regard to his strained right oblique, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Betts said at the start of the week that he's "light years" ahead of schedule in his recovery, and Roberts' comments Friday affirm that outlook. While the star shortstop isn't expected to be ready for activation off the IL when first eligible April 15, it's looking increasingly likely that he'll beat the initial 4-to-6 week timeline. Per MLB.com, Betts has been participating in defensive drills but hasn't yet resumed swinging a bat.

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

After starting behind the plate the past two days, Fortes will receive a breather. Hunter Feduccia will handle catching duties for the Rays.

Edman (ankle) took live at-bats against Blake Snell (shoulder) on Saturday, per MLB.com.

The session marked the first time Edman has faced live pitching since last season. The utility man is also continuing to ramp up his running progression, but he still seems to be several weeks away from a potential minor-league rehab assignment. Edman is unlikely to be activated off the IL until at least late May.

Rodon (elbow/hamstring) is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session in the early portion of the coming week, per MLB.com.

Rodon continues to progress in his recovery from left elbow surgery, as he threw a 40-pitch bullpen Thursday. He recently experienced right hamstring tightness, which has affected his ability to field and cover bases, but the organization has suggested that the issue isn't a major concern. Rodon likely won't begin a minor-league rehab assignment until that issue is cleared up, however, and activation before the end of April is looking increasingly unlikely.
