Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Schneemann started both ends of Saturday's doubleheader when the Guardians went up against right-handed pitchers, going 1-for-9 with a solo home run and an additional run between the two contests. He'll sit against righty Simeon Woods Richardson on Sunday, opening up room in the lineup for George Valera.

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

Kirk will get a routine breather after he had started at catcher in the last two contests. Tyler Heineman will fill in behind the dish in the series finale.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Taylor will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started in center field the last three games while going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts. Brooks Baldwin will step in for Taylor in center field Sunday.

Tauchman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Tauchman will get a rare day off against a righty (Michael King) after starting the last eight games. Dominic Fletcher will step in for Tauchman in right field and will bat ninth.

Robertson will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Robertson will make his fourth consecutive start -- all against right-handed pitchers -- despite mustering just two hits in 10 at-bats over the previous three contests. The 58-97 White Sox are seemingly in evaluation mode at this stage of the season and are giving Robertson an opportunity to prove he belongs in the big leagues, even though Andrew Benintendi is likely viewed as the team's primary option in left field heading into 2026.

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

Though he's not dealing with any reported injury, Benintendi will take a seat for the fourth game in a row as the White Sox wrap up their final homestand of 2025. Under contract through 2027, Benintendi projects to handle a near-everyday role next season, but the White Sox look content to use the remaining few games of the 2025 campaign to evaluate other options in the corner outfield.

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

Fermin will get a breather for Sunday's matinee after he started behind the plate in each of the previous three contests. Elias Diaz will handle catching duties in the series finale.

Abrams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets due to a jammed right shoulder, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop in place of Abrams, who sustained the injury when he was tagged out while trying to advance to third base in the 11th inning of Saturday's 5-3 win. According to interim manager Miguel Cairo, Abrams will be available to pinch hit Sunday if needed, so the 24-year-old's absence from the lineup appears to be mostly precautionary in nature.

Hassell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

With southpaw Sean Manaea starting for the Mets, Hassell will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Right-hander Clay Holmes is expected to piggyback Manaea at some point during the contest, so Hassell could be a candidate to replace center fielder Jacob Young once Holmes takes over.

Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

On the bench for the third game in a row, Stewart appears to have faded into a utility infield role while Spencer Steer has regained control of primary duties at first base. The Reds will still likely find room for Stewart in the lineup against left-handed pitching, but the rookie's opportunities to play against righties could be sporadic over the final week of the regular season.
