Basallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Basallo hasn't started against a lefty since June 3, though Sunday will only be Baltimore's fifth game against a southpaw during that stretch. The rookie catcher has a .258/.329/.485 slash line with five homers, 15 RBI and six runs in his past 19 contests. Coby Mayo is batting fifth as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale versus the Reds.

Perez (elbow) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Perez went unused off the bench during the Royals' previous two games while managing a sore elbow, but he's made enough improvement to re-enter the starting nine in a non-defensive capacity. Assuming Perez's elbow provides no complications for him during Sunday's contest, he should be available to make starts at catcher or at first base at some point during the upcoming week.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets will give Alvarez the afternoon off while Luis Torrens starts behind the plate and Juan Soto serves as the designated hitter. Alvarez had started each of the last seven games, going 5-for-27 (.185 average) with a solo home run and a 0:11 BB:K.

Torrens will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Torrens will fill in behind the plate while Francisco Alvarez rests for the day game. Since MJ Melendez was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse on June 26, the Mets have been giving Alvarez more days off from catching and have used him as a designated hitter more frequently, which has allowed Torrens to play more frequently than most No. 2 backstops. Torrens has now drawn five starts in the Mets' last nine contests.

Hedges went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.

Hedges homered for the second time in three games and has hit safely in his last six starts, going 8-for-18 (.444) during that stretch. This was the third start in four contests for catcher, who is enjoying his best season at the plate with a .281/.343/.413 slash line over 46 games. Despite Hedges' unexpected production, he's still considered the backup to Patrick Bailey (.179/.234/.253).

Goodman went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored Saturday against the Giants.

Goodman has had a strong homestand, with Saturday's performance giving him three multi-hit performances in the last five games. He's also popped two homers, paired with two doubles, three RBI and five runs scored in that span. This stretch continues an excellent season for Goodman, as he's set to post career-best counting stats in every fantasy category.

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

The Yankees will keep Goldschmidt on the bench for the third time in four games, with all three of those absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The recent returns of Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Ryan McMahon (throat/ear) appear to have pushed Goldschmidt into a part-time role, with the 38-year-old's drop in playing time coming while he's fallen into an 0-for-22 skid at the plate over his last seven games.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets will leave the left-handed-hitting Young out of the lineup for the second straight day while Atlanta sends another lefty (Martin Perez) to the bump. Mark Vientos will fill in for Young at first base and will bat cleanup.

Murakami (hamstring) ran for the second consecutive day before the White Sox's game against the Guardians on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Murakami ran the bases and gave a thumbs-up to reporters afterward, suggesting that he's feeling good after landing on the shelf May 30 due to a right hamstring strain. Assuming he recovers well from his running workouts over the weekend, he's expected to report to Triple-A Charlotte and could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday. The door is open for Murakami to potentially return from the 10-day injured list before the White Sox's final series before the All-Star break next weekend against the Athletics.

Vargas started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Vargas' eighth-inning double plated what eventually turned out to be the winning run. He made a second straight start at first base and is 4-for-8 with two RBI in the two games. Saturday's start was against a right-hander, which is usually Pavin Smith's job. Even though the early-season shine has come off Vargas' bat -- a .102 average and .336 OPS over 34 games from May 20 through the end of June -- he could gain more opportunities, as Smith (.152/.260/.212) is having his own struggles at the plate.

Smith was held out of the starting lineup Saturday against Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff.

Smith is typically a lineup staple against righties, but Ildemaro Vargas got the start Saturday. Smith is a career 1-for-11 against Woodruff, but the decision to sit him may have been more about a current slump. Smith is batting just .152 since coming off the injured list in late May and entered Saturday with two hits over his last 27 at-bats (.074).

Alonso went 3-for-3 with a double, one RBI, one run scored and two walks in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Reds.

Alonso reached base in all five of his plate appearances, capped late by an RBI single in the eighth inning and a double in the ninth. It marked the second three-hit effort for the first baseman over his past nine games, during which he's tallied four extra-base hits and seven RBI. On the season, he's slashing .254/.347/.472 with 19 homers, 60 RBI, 54 runs scored and two steals across 389 plate appearances.

Nunez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Jorbit Vivas will pick up a start at second base while Nunez gets a breather after starting each of the previous five games. During that stretch, Nunez was unable to build on his MLB-leading total of 32 steals, but he went 3-for-15 with four walks while blasting his first home run of the season.

Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Along with fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo, Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers, Holliday will take a seat for the series finale while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the bump. Jeremiah Jackson will replace Holliday at second base and will bat eighth.

The Tigers announced Tuesday that Torres (oblique) is in the midst of a running progression, but the veteran second baseman hasn't yet resumed hitting since landing on the injured list June 17, MLB.com reports.

Though Torres has been able to take part in some activity since receiving a cortisone injection for his left oblique strain, his inability to start up a hitting progression nearly three weeks after landing on the shelf suggests that the Tigers will likely hold him out through the All-Star break. Torres previously missed a month of action earlier in the season with the same injury, and it wouldn't be surprising if he faces a longer recovery timeline this time around while the Tigers bring him along more slowly in his rehab.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Saturday against the Nationals.

Lowe made his lone hit of the day count, knocking in two in the second frame with a single. He's hit only .220 while striking out at a 29.0 percent clip in the last month, though he's still managed to record 20 RBI, 15 runs scored and five home runs across 27 games in that span.

Turang went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

This was Turang's second three-hit effort in a row and his third such performance during a seven-game hitting streak. He also reached 20 doubles on the season with a pair of two-baggers in this contest. For the year, the second baseman is batting .269 with an .824 OPS, 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 83 games.

Arroyo is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday.

Arroyo will be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's game while Matt McLain starts at second base and bats ninth. Arroyo has gone 1-for-13 with four strikeouts over his last four games and is slashing .244/.294/.282 with four RBI and three doubles over 86 plate appearances this season.

Garcia (hand) is rehabbing in Kansas City but has yet to resume swinging and will be re-evaluated during the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.

Garcia hit the shelf June 23 due to a nagging muscle strain in his left hand that requires extended rest to heal. The extent of his current rehab regimen remains unclear, though he has yet to resume swinging a bat, and a clearer picture of the third baseman's timeline is likely to come following his re-evaluation over the All-Star break. Before landing on the injured list, Garcia slashed .261/.320/.373 with 22 extra-base hits (three homers), 30 RBI, 32 runs and five stolen bases across 69 games.

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

During the final week of June, Rosario had been serving as a near-everyday player for the Yankees, but the returns of Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Ryan McMahon (throat/ear) from the injured list Friday have pushed Rosario back into a short-side platoon role. Rosario has been left out of the lineup for all three games of the weekend series while Minnesota has sent three right-handed starters to the bump.

Ramirez (hand) has been hitting off a tee and is expected to face overhand pitching soon, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

The All-Star third baseman had the stitches removed from his surgically repaired left hand Tuesday, and it sounds as though he was immediately cleared to pick up a bat. Ramirez will continue progressing in his rehab program and is aiming to return shortly after the All-Star break

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

The veteran third baseman returned from the injured list Friday after missing time due to a throat and ear infection, and he went 1-for-5 with two walks, a double and two runs in his first two games back in the lineup. McMahon will rest for Sunday's series finale, which allows Anthony Volpe to start at shortstop while Jose Caballero mans third base.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Mets.

Saturday was a breakout performance of sorts for the struggling third baseman, who had collected just three RBI in his prior 12 outings. Riley also ripped his first homer since May 20 in Miami and his first extra-base hit altogether since June 16 against the Giants. Through 352 plate appearances, Riley is still slashing a paltry .207/.287/.338 with nine long balls, 12 doubles, 41 RBI but does have a career-high four stolen bases.

Jordan is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Cubs.

Jordan had started five straight games for St. Louis, and he's coming off a 3-for-5, three-run performance Friday. However, he'll get a breather Saturday while Jose Fermin gets a chance to start at third base.

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

Daniel Schneemann will pick up the start at shortstop while Rocchio rests after he had been included in the Cleveland lineup in each of the last four games. Dating back to June 17, Rocchio has gotten on base in all but two of his 16 starts and has slashed .288/.338/.394 with one home run, three steals, eight runs and five RBI over that stretch.

Gray is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Following a four-game absence due to a hip impingement, Byron Buxton returned to center field in Saturday's 11-4 win, which resulted in Ryan Kreidler shifting back to shortstop and Gray moving back to a bench role. Gray started at shortstop in all four games while Buxton was out of the lineup, going 0-for-14 to bring his batting average down to .226 for the season.

De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Saturday's 8-5 loss to Baltimore.

De La Cruz's RBI-single in the second inning gave the Reds a 4-3 lead and extended a hit streak to seven games, during which he's 10-for-29 (.345). He then stole second base, advanced to third on a sacrifice fly and nearly scored a run on an infield single, but an Orioles challenge overturned a call for the third out. De La Cruz once again showed he's past the hamstring injury that forced him to miss three weeks; the stolen base was his third in two contests, and he advanced to third on a flyout to left field.

Montgomery went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Guardians.

Montgomery opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning before hitting what proved to be the game-winning solo shot in the eighth. Over his past 10 games, the 24-year-old has hit safely in eight contests with five extra-base hits, six RBI and five runs scored. On the year, he's slashing .221/.308/.484 with 22 homers, 51 RBI, 41 runs scored and one steal across 351 plate appearances.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and a third RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

This was Lopez's eighth multi-hit effort in his last 11 games. In that span, he has gone 19-for-48 (.396) with three homers, four doubles, two triples and seven RBI. The shortstop's recent consistency at the plate has him up to a .341 average and .877 OPS on the year, and he's added eight homers, 40 RBI, 57 runs scored, 24 doubles and five triples through 88 contests. He's been improving as the season progresses, though he's unlikely to ever be a significant source of power production.

Tolbert went 2-for-2 with a pair of stolen bases in Saturday's loss to the Phillies.

The Royals were mostly shut down by Philadelphia starter Jesus Luzardo, but Tolbert knocked two singles off the left-hander and stole a base after each hit. He was the only KC batter with multiple hits in the defeat. Tolbert hasn't gotten a lot of playing time of late -- his start Saturday was just his fourth over the Royals' past eight contests. While he's slashing a modest .243/.310/.243 with no extra-base hits on the season, he's made the most of his opportunities on the basepaths, stealing nine bags in 11 attempts.

Simpson (finger) will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Simpson will check back into the starting nine after sore right index and middle fingers kept him on the bench for the previous two nights. Before his recent pair of absences, Simpson had recorded at least one hit in 11 of his previous 12 starts, slashing .386/.438/.477 while adding six steals, three runs and two RBI during that stretch.

Young (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Young will be kept on the bench for a third consecutive game while he manages a sore left hand. In Young's stead, Dylan Crews will cover center field Sunday and will bat sixth.

The Nationals designated Hassell for assignment Sunday.

Part of the six-player haul the Nationals received in the August 2022 trade that sent Juan Soto to San Diego, Hassell had seen his development stall out over the past couple of seasons. The 24-year-old outfielder reached the big leagues for the first time in 2025 and produced a lowly .572 OPS in 70 games, and he hadn't shown much sign of improvement while spending the entire campaign to date at Triple-A Rochester. Over 258 plate appearances at Triple-A, Hassell struck out at a 25.2 clip and slashed .216/.307/.291 with two home runs and eight steals. Washington will move Hassell off the 40-man roster to clear a spot for right-hander Eddy Yean, whose contract was selected from Triple-A.

The Phillies signed De La Cruz to a major-league contract Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The veteran outfielder recently exercised the opt-out in his minor-league contract with the Phillies, but he's now back in the organization as a member of the 40-man roster. De La Cruz has a .254/.344/.429 slash line with 12 homers in 75 games with Lehigh Valley this year and could soon get a look in the big leagues with Gabriel Rincones struggling toa .553 OPS in his first taste of the majors following Adolis Garcia's season-ending lat surgery.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

The left-handed-hitting Larnach had started in left field and batted leadoff in each of the last nine games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday while the Twins face off against southpaw Ryan Weathers. Austin Martin will replace Larnach in the outfield and atop the batting order.

Cowser is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Along with fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo, Jackson Holliday and Dylan Beavers, Cowser will take a seat for the series finale while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the bump. Leody Taveras will replace Cowser in center field and will bat seventh.

May (ankle) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Brewers, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The right-hander departed his start Thursday against Atlanta during the first inning after taking a comebacker off the ankle, but he'll re-enter the rotation Monday on just three days rest after the shortened outing. May has surrendered 11 runs in his past two starts, but prior to that he had a 1.30 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 33:4 K:BB across 27.2 frames in his previous four outings.

The Brewers placed Woodruff on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Manager Pat Murphy said after Woodruff departed Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks that the right-hander is dealing with an inflamed labrum, so the move to the IL isn't a surprised. The 33-year-old dealt with a similar injury earlier this season that led to a "dead arm" feeling, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and sidelined him for six weeks. It's unclear how long he's expected to be out this time around, but he figures to miss well beyond the 15-day minimum. Woodruff has been effective this year with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 45.1 innings, but the shoulder problems continue to limit his availability.

Manager Aaron Boone said Fried (elbow) threw a successful session of live batting practice Sunday and will do so again Thursday or Friday before embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran left-hander continues to progress in his rehab from a bone bruise in his left elbow, and he's closing in on being cleared for game action. Fried landed on the shelf in mid-May and will likely require at least a couple starts in the minors before rejoining the Yankees' starting rotation.

Sandoval (biceps) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out seven over five scoreless innings for Double-A Portland on Saturday.

Sandoval got up to 68 pitches (43 strikes) and, per MLB.com, the Red Sox hope he'll join the team's rotation for the final series before the All-Star break. The left-hander is expected to fill-in for injured starter Connelly Early (elbow) for at least one start.

Fedde is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Chris Murphy in Sunday's game against the Guardians, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

On Saturday, the Guardians lineup featured left-handed hitters or switch hitters in the top seven spots, so the White Sox will have the left-handed Murphy open the series finale with the aim of forcing Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt to adjust his batting order. Murphy will likely work the first inning or two before handing the ball over to the right-handed Fedde, who owns a 4.33 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over his eight appearances out of the bullpen this season.

Bibee mentioned the greater use of his sinker as the main reason for his recent turnaround, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. "It just feels like a real weapon, where I can really lean on it to get quick outs," the right-hander said Friday. "Or I still can have guys freeze on it... It opens up a lot of stuff."

Bibee, who is Sunday's scheduled starter against the White Sox, changed up his pitch mix following a disastrous outing against the Nationals on May 25, when he gave up seven runs and five home runs over three innings. In the six starts since then, he's made throwing the sinker a priority, using it 37.2 percent of the time. Bibee owns a 2.29 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with a 28:8 K:BB over 39.1 innings. The sinker has also made his four-seamer and cutter more effective in those six starts, as opponents' batting average and hard-hit rates have dropped against each pitch. What would really help Bibee, who is 2-9 over 18 starts, is better run support; his 2.78 run support ranks 133rd out of 136 pitchers with at least 10 starts.

The Pirates selected Murdock's contract and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Murdock will be added to the 40-man roster after he exercised an upward-mobility clause in his minor-league contract that would have allowed him to test free agency had the Pirates not cleared a spot for him. The 27-year-old pitched at Single-A Bradenton and Double-A Altoona to begin the season before settling at Triple-A in early June. Over the past month, Murdock has submitted a 4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB in 12.2 innings out of the Indianapolis bullpen.

The Nationals selected Yean's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

Washington designated outfielder Robert Hassell for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Yean, who will be making his MLB debut when/if he gets into a game. The 25-year-old righty earned his first call-up after submitting a 3.69 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 43:19 K:BB in 39 innings over 38 relief appearances for Rochester.

The Mets optioned Gerber to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

The right-hander was called up by New York on Monday and appeared in four games during his brief time in the majors. Gerber started off with three scoreless appearances before surrendering three runs over two-thirds of an inning Saturday in Atlanta. Guillo Zuniga was added to the MLB roster Sunday in a corresponding move.

Martin allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Detroit.

Martin was reinstated from the injured list (shoulder) Saturday and was used immediately. It's been a rough season for the 39-year-old right-hander, who has spent two stints on the IL and carries a 7.15 ERA through 13 outings (11.1 innings). He was on the shortlist for saves coming out of training camp, but that's no longer a consideration, given how well Jacob Latz (18 saves, All-Star nod) has pitched in that role.

The Mets selected Zuniga's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Zungia joined the Mets on a minor-league deal in May and will now have the chance to make his first big-league appearance since 2024. The right-hander split his time between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year and has a combined 3.29 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB over 13.2 innings.

Junis received an injection Saturday for the hip impingement that landed him on the injured list, MLB.com reports.

Junis, who was bothered by the hip over the last week, was placed on the injured list Saturday, retroactive to July 1. The club is hopeful he will only be down for the 15-day minimum.

Gonzalez started at designated hitter and went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Angels.

Gonzalez launched a two-run homer in the fifth inning to extend Boston's lead to 7-1. It was his first homer since coming off the injured list and second consecutive game with two RBI. Gonzalez typically crushes left-handers, which is why he was in the lineup Saturday, but he's started four consecutive games including two against right-handers. He can play all around the infield and could see regular turns at DH. He's gone 6-for-20 with a triple, a home run and four RBI over five games since being activated.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Lowe will head to the bench for the second time in the series, this time exiting the lineup against a right-handed starter (Kyle Bradish) after his previous absence Friday came versus a lefty (Trevor Rogers). Spencer Steer will step in for Lowe at first base and will bat fifth.

Eldridge went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 6-4 win over Colorado on Saturday.

Eldridge doubled home a run in the first inning and added a 458-foot solo homer in the third. The long ball was his first in 13 games, a stretch during which he's batted just .188 with three RBI. That's taken some steam out of Eldridge's strong start to the season, but he's still slashing a solid .280/.368/.484 with seven homers and 19 RBI over 46 contests while playing nearly every day.

Yelich went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Yelich had gone 0-for-12 over his previous four games, though he did draw five walks in that span. His lone hit Saturday was a fifth-inning homer off Merrill Kelly that got the Brewers on the board. Yelich is now batting .246 with a .720 OPS, six homers, 28 RBI, 40 runs scored, six stolen bases, 10 doubles and a triple over 54 contests this season.

Del Castillo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

This was his first homer since May 26 versus the Giants. In the 16 games in between long balls, the catcher batted just .158 (6-for-38) while receding into a backup role. He's hitting .185 with a .555 OPS, five homers, 23 RBI, 12 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 164 plate appearances this season. Del Castillo's playing time could dwindle even more once James McCann (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, which is expected to happen as soon as Monday.

Alvarez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rays.

Alvarez bookended Saturday in dramatic fashion, first launching a first-inning solo shot and later blasting a walk-off two run jack in the ninth frame. The All-Star slugger now has a trio of three-hit games in his past four outings and four multi-homer efforts on the year. Through 388 plate appearances, Alvarez is slashing a robust .324/.433/.645 with 29 long balls, 16 doubles and 67 RBI.
