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

Goodman will get a chance to rest in the series finale after he had started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the Rockies' previous five contests. Braxton Fulford will get a turn behind the plate Sunday, while Brenton Doyle gets a day off from playing center field as the DH.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

He will hit the bench for the fourth game in a row, with two of his absences coming against left-handers and two coming against right-handers. Tellez had been occupying the strong side of a platoon at first base, but Jake Burger, who was reinstated from the injured list Monday, appears to have overtaken him as the Rangers' top choice at the position. Tellez initially found some success after being promoted from Triple-A Round Rock on July 18, but over his last 10 games, he's gone just 4-for-26 with no walks and 10 strikeouts.

Osuna is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

The left-handed-hitting Osuna had started in right field for the last three matchups against right-handed pitchers, but he'll give way to Cody Freeman while the Astros send southpaw Framber Valdez to the hill. With Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) on the injured list, Osuna looks poised to occupy a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield in the short term.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Pederson will join fellow left-handed hitters Alejandro Osuna, Josh Smith, Rowdy Tellez and Dustin Harris on the bench as the Rangers stock up on right-handed bats to counter southpaw Framber Valdez. Jonah Heim will assume designated-hitter duties with Pederson out of the lineup.

The Angels optioned Silseth to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

The right-hander was promoted from Salt Lake on Saturday and will return to Triple-A after giving up a run over 1.2 innings against the A's. Silseth has made four appearances in the majors this season and has allowed just one earned run with a 6:5 K:BB across four frames.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Sanchez was in the lineup for the first two games of the series while the Rangers sent right-handers to the hill, but he'll take a seat Sunday with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the bump. Cam Smith will take over in right field.

The Angels selected Peralta's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

The left-hander joined the Halos on a minor-league deal in May and will now receive a look in the majors. Peralta posted a 4.33 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 70:14 K:BB across 70.2 innings with Salt Lake this season and is likely to fill a low-leverage relief role for the Angels.

Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

With lefty Andrew Alvarez on the hill for Washington, Busch will retreat to the bench. Carlos Santana will fill in for Busch at first base and bat fifth.

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

Bell will get a breather for the series finale after he went 1-for-16 with a double, two walks and one run while starting in each of the previous five contests. Andres Chaparro will replace Bell at first base Sunday and bat fifth.

Scott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Scott will hit the bench for the series finale after he had manned center field in the previous four contests while going 3-for-10 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored. Nathan Church will check in for Scott in the outfield and bat eighth.
