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

After starting at third base in each of the last three games while going 2-for-8 with three walks, House will take a seat for the series finale while Jorbit Vivas mans the hot corner. House has put together a modest .699 OPS over 24 second-half games with the Nationals, but that may be enough to give him in the edge in playing time over Vivas, who is slashing just .214/.324/.250 over that same timeframe.

The White Sox plan to send Teel (ankle) to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Teel landed back on the IL on July 21 due to a left high-ankle sprain, but he's recovering faster than anticipated and was able to run the bases a couple of times this weekend without issue. The White Sox haven't outlined how long Teel's rehab assignment will last, but as soon as he proves he can catch a full nine-inning game, he'll likely return to the big-league roster. Chicago has been getting by with a timeshare of Drew Romo and Jake Rogers behind the plate of late, but Teel will take over as the clear No. 1 backstop once he's healthy.

Bohm is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to what interim manager Don Mattingly described as hamstring or groin tightness, Cory Nidoh of PhillySportsNetwork.com reports.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 12-3 win before making a late exit due to what appears to be a minor injury. Though Bohm won't start Sunday, Mattingly downplayed most of the concern about the first baseman's health, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Kyle Schwarber will draw the start at first base in the series finale, but Bohm could appear at some point off the bench, if needed.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

After starting in each of the last seven games while going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with five runs and two RBI, Ramirez will get some rest Sunday while the Guardians wrap up their series in Colorado with a day game after a night game. Ramirez's move to the bench will open up a spot in the lineup for Angel Martinez, who will start in left field and bat seventh.

Church is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The Cardinals will keep the left-handed hitter on the bench for the second time in the series while the Phillies send another southpaw starter to the bump in Cristopher Sanchez. Jose Fermin will replace Church in center field and bat seventh.

Crooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed hitter will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Phillies send another southpaw to the hill in Cristopher Sanchez. Pedro Pages will handle catching duties Sunday in place of Crooks while Ivan Herrera is the DH.

Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

The 29-year-old has started regularly against left-handed pitching this season, but he finds himself on the bench Sunday for the second straight game that Boston has faced a southpaw. It's unclear if that will be a trend for the rest of the season, but Duran certainly hasn't performed well versus lefties this year with a .570 OPS in 125 plate appearances. Eli White is picking up a start in left field and batting eighth against San Francisco starter Matt Wilkinson.

The Angels reinstated Kikuchi (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Rangers.

The left-hander has been sidelined since late April due to shoulder inflammation, and he's been deemed ready to rejoin the Halos' rotation after four minor-league rehab starts. Kikuchi scuffled to a 5.81 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in seven outings prior to the injury, and he certainly didn't look his best during the rehab stint with 22 earned runs allows over 12.2 frames.

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

Ramos had started in each of the Yankees' last eight games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday and looks like he'll be at risk of moving into a short-side platoon role in the outfield after New York reinstated Cody Bellinger (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. Since being acquired from the Giants on Aug. 3, Ramos has provided a weak .113/.230/.189 slash line with four extra-base hits (all doubles), one stolen base, one run and one RBI in his 16 games in pinstripes.

Caballero will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Caballero had faded at the beginning of August, but he looks to have recaptured a regular spot in the lineup following Ryan McMahon's (thumb) recent move to the injured list. Despite going 0-for-9 with two RBI over the previous three contests, Caballero will handle a starting role in the New York infield for a fourth consecutive game Sunday.
