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

Baty will hit the bench after starting the last three games at three different positions. Though he doesn't have a defensive home, Baty should play fairly regularly against right-handed pitching while Juan Soto (calf) remains sidelined.

The Tigers reinstated Outman (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Sunday and subsequently designated him for assignment.

The 29-year-old spent just over a week on the concussion IL but won't stick on Detroit's active roster now that he's healthy. Outman was claimed off waivers from the Twins in mid-June, but the Tigers have apparently seen enough after he posted a .183/.240/.366 slash line and 42 percent strikeout rate in 45 games.

The Tigers selected Sears' contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

The left-hander is set to make his MLB debut Sunday in Kansas City, as he's scheduled to work in bulk relief behind opener Jacob Waguespack. Sears posted a 2.57 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 35 innings for Double-A Erie before being promoted to Triple-A in early August. He excelled in his two outings for Toledo, striking out 14 in 9.2 scoreless frames.

Heim is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Heim continues to operate as the Athletics' primary catcher but will hit the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 1-for-31 slump. Brian Serven will take over behind the plate and bat ninth for the series finale in Houston.

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

McNeil started the previous six games and will receive Sunday off after batting .308 (8-for-26) with a double, a homer, four RBI and three runs during that span. Tommy White will step in at first base and bat fifth versus Houston righty Cristian Javier.

Canning (4-9) earned the win over Minnesota on Saturday, allowing three hits and issuing one walk while striking out one batter over 3.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.

Casey Mize started the game for San Diego but left after just 2.2 frames due to an ankle injury. Canning helped spare the Padres bullpen from exhausting its arms by covering 3.1 innings on 46 pitches (27 strikes). The veteran right-hander limited the Twins to just three hits (all singles) in his longest outing since July 18, which was when he made his final start before being moved to a bulk-relief role. Canning has been much more effective out of the bullpen, and over his past seven appearances he's logged a 3-0 record with a 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB across 13.1 innings.

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

After four consecutive starts, the left-handed hitter will move to the bench while southpaw Jackson Kent takes the bump for the Nationals. Agustin Ramirez will serve as the Marlins' designated hitter in Caissie's stead.

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

Mack started the past three contests after missing a few days due to a shoulder issue, so he's likely just getting a rest day after going 1-for-11 since rejoining the lineup. Brian Navarreto is working behind the plate and batting ninth in the series finale versus Washington.

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

After four consecutive starts, the left-handed-hitting Marsee will move to the bench while southpaw Jackson Kent takes the bump for the Nationals. Esteury Ruiz will cover center field in Marsee's stead Sunday.

Chaparro will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Since being called up from Triple-A Rochester on May 19, Chaparro has largely served as a short-side platoon player for the Nationals, but he's begun to gain traction in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. He'll crack the starting nine against a righty for the third time in four games, and on the season he sports a 1.127 OPS with three homers in 35 plate appearances in that split.
