Tellez will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Tellez will crack the lineup for a fourth straight game, as the Rangers are reopening a regular role for him against right-handed pitching with Josh Jung (calf) having been on the bench for each of those contests. If Jung is able to avoid a stint on the injured list or if Jake Burger (quadriceps) is activated in the coming days, Tellez could be squeezed out of a regular lineup spot before long.

Mayo will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Mayo has been one of the main beneficiaries in the wake of the Orioles' active trade deadline, during which Baltimore shipped out Ryan O'Hearn, Cedric Mullins and Ramon Laureano. The rookie will make a third straight start at first base Sunday, and he could retain a regular spot in the lineup even if Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) returns from the 60-day injured list during the upcoming week. The Orioles could install Mountcastle as their everyday designated hitter, which would keep first base open for Mayo, who is slashing .241/.389/.517 with two home runs and a 6:6 BB:K since the All-Star break.

The White Sox recalled Mead from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

The 24-year-old was acquired by Chicago from Tampa Bay in the Adrian Houser trade Thursday and won't have to wait long to make his White Sox debut after Miguel Vargas (oblique) landed on the injured list. Mead should help fill in for Vargas at first base but could also see action at second and third base.

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

Ben Rice will get the nod at first base Sunday, but Goldschmidt had occupied the position in five of the past six matchups -- all against right-handed pitchers. Though Rice has been far more productive against righties among the two players this season, Goldschmidt's longer track record of success in the big leagues has at least temporarily prevented him from falling into a pure short-side platoon role. Goldschmidt is slashing just .200/.256/.250 with a 37.2 percent strikeout rate since the All-Star break, however, and it's unclear how much patience manager Aaron Boone will exercise with the 37-year-old if he continues to languish.

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

Santana appears to be getting a well-earned rest for a day game. Kyle Manzardo will start at first base and C.J. Kayfus will serve as Cleveland's designated hitter.

France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

After being acquired from the Twins on Thursday, France picked up starts at designated hitter and first base in the first two games of the Blue Jays' series with the Royals, going 1-for-8 at the plate. Though he'll hit the bench Sunday while Nathan Lukes gets a day off from playing the outfield and serves as Toronto's DH, France should have a fairly clear path to regular at-bats until the Blue Jays get one or two of George Springer (concussion), Andres Gimenez (ankle) and Anthony Santander (shoulder) back from the injured list.

The Orioles recalled Noda from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

The 29-year-old was optioned to Norfolk after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox on Saturday, but Baltimore didn't wait long before adding him to the 26-man active roster. Noda appeared in 16 games for the White Sox earlier this season and went 3-for-34 with a 42.2 percent strikeout rate. He's played at the Triple-A level with three different organizations in 2025 and has a .194/.390/.366 slash line in 236 plate appearances.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks Saturday in a loss to the Red Sox.

Walker gave Houston an early lead with a 433-foot blast in the first inning, but the Astros scored just once more in the contest. It was the veteran first baseman's second straight game with a long ball and his third home run of the second half. Walker has been hitting well since the All-Star break, batting .309 (17-for-55) with 11 RBI, eight runs and a stolen base through 15 games.

Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 7-3 victory against Houston on Saturday.

Gonzalez plated Boston's first run with a solo blast to center field in the first inning. It was his second long ball over his past three games and his third across his past seven contests, though only four of those were starts. In fact, Gonzalez's past three homers have come across just 18 at-bats -- by comparison, it took him 136 at-bats to collect his first five long balls of the campaign. He's bashed lefties all season, with six of his eight total home runs coming against southpaws.

Kayfus went 0-for-4 with one RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

Kayfus got the start in right field and earned his first major-league RBI on a groundout in the second inning. The 23-year-old looks to have a path to playing time in right field initially, but his performance will dictate if he's able to maintain an everyday role. Prior to his promotion, he batted .283 with an .893 OPS, 13 home runs, 43 RBI, 39 runs scored and two stolen bases over 68 games in his first taste of Triple-A action, so he looks more than ready to get an extended big-league audition.
