Koss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

After starting nine consecutive games, Koss now finds himself on the bench for the second straight day. He'll likely be limited to a utility role with third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) getting reinstated from the injured list Saturday.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Bailey will receive a breather for Sunday's day game after he started the prior two contests. Andrew Knizner will handle catching duties for the Giants in the series finale.

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

Baldwin has handled a near-everyday role for much of August, but he'll head to the bench for the second time in three games while the White Sox welcome Mike Tauchman (lower body) back to the lineup following a one-game absence. Over 17 games on the month, Baldwin is slashing .314/.375/.529 with three home runs, one steal, three RBI and six runs. Look for the White Sox to continue to find ways to keep the versatile 25-year-old's bat in the lineup over the final month of the season.

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

Wallner doesn't yet appear to be in danger of losing a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but he'll head to the bench for the second time in four games while Kody Clemens handles right field. Since returning to action Aug. 12 after a stint on the paternity list, Wallner has gone 4-for-28 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate in nine games.

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

After starting four straight games and going 3-for-13 with two doubles, two runs, one RBI and a 1:7 BB:K, Outman will head to the bench. Austin Martin will replace Outman in left field and bat ninth.

The Blue Jays recalled Schultz from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

The 27-year-old righty has produced a 4.56 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 23.2 innings in 12 appearances (two starts) with Toronto this season. He'll provide the Blue Jays with a multi-inning bullpen option heading into Sunday's game against the Marlins.

The Blue Jays optioned Fluharty to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Fluharty pitched the previous two days, so the Blue Jays will send him to Buffalo in favor of a fresh bullpen arm in Paxton Schultz. Over 51 appearances with the big club this season, Fluharty has netted a 4.94 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 48:24 K:BB in 47.1 innings while collecting four wins, four holds and one save.

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

Sosa started the previous 20 games but will receive Sunday off after going 2-for-12 with two RBI and five strikeouts in the past three contests. Miguel Vargas will shift to first base, opening up the hot corner for Curtis Mead.

Acosta is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

After getting called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Acosta proceeded to start five consecutive games across three different spots in the infield while going 2-for-15 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk. Acosta projects to fill a utility role now that starting shortstop Otto Lopez (illness) has been cleared to rejoin the lineup Sunday after sitting out the previous three contests.

Barger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Barger will hit the bench in what appears to be a routine day off after starting six straight games. The 25-year-old is in the midst of a lull at the plate, slashing just .140/.196/.233 with a solo home run and three additional runs over his last 13 contests.
