Seigler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Seigler will head to the bench for the second time in the series after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-2 win. Nick Sogard will replace Seigler at second base and atop the batting order.

The Blue Jays transferred Sosa (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Sosa will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Jameson Taillon, whom the Blue Jays acquired in a trade with the Cubs. The 26-year-old infielder has been on the shelf since May 28 due to a right wrist contusion and was pulled off a rehab assignment in late June after experiencing a setback. He resumed taking live batting practice last week and should be ready to report back to an affiliate in the near future.

Rojas said that he'll be available off the bench Sunday against the Red Sox after exiting Saturday's 3-2 loss after seven innings due to a left ankle injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a double before leaving Saturday's game on account of the injury, which he appeared to have suffered when he fouled a ball off of himself. Fortunately for Rojas, X-rays on the ankle came back negative, and he's feeling much better heading into Sunday's contest. Rojas had made starts against left-handed pitchers in the first two games of the series, but the Dodgers will go with a starting infield of Freddie Freeman, Tommy Edman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy in the finale.

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

Koss will take a seat after he went 4-for-18 with three runs and an RBI while starting at third base over the past five games. He'll cede the hot corner Sunday to Osleivis Basabe, who sticks in the lineup at a different position after playing second base in Saturday's 6-5 loss. Koss and Basabe could form a timeshare at third base until the Giants get Matt Chapman (abdomen) back from the injured list.

Julien will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Though he'll be included in the lineup against right-hander Seth Lugo, the left-handed-hitting Julien sat in each of the Rockies' previous three games, with his latter two absences coming against righties. He appears to have lost control of a strong-side platoon role, with Willi Castro and Tyler Freeman both having seen more opportunities at second base at Julien's expense of late.

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

The left-handed hitter had started the last five games but will get a breather while southpaw Kyle Freeland toes the rubber for Colorado. Nick Loftin will check in for Massey at second base and bat second.

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

Lopez will retreat to the bench after starting 10 straight games at second base or shortstop. Cam Cauley will get the nod Sunday at the keystone, which is where Lopez is expected to see the bulk of his playing time after Corey Seager returned from the injured list Friday.

Arraez (cramps) will start at second base and bat leadoff Sunday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 29-year-old was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Saturday's 6-5 loss after experiencing cramps during pregame warmups -- which first forced him to exit Friday's contest -- but he'll rejoin the lineup Sunday. Arraez batted .316 over 24 games in July, though he didn't provide much pop with just five extra-base hits and a .367 slugging percentage, which is down from .446 for the campaign. The 29-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this winter and could be moved ahead of Monday's trade deadline.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed hitter will be on the bench for a second straight day, as White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay takes the mound after lefty Noah Schultz worked in bulk relief Saturday. Ryan Vilade will cover the keystone Sunday in place of Palacios.

Castro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored Saturday against the Royals.

Castro popped a home run in the fifth inning, his 12th of the season and third in his last four starts. The 12 long balls matches his career high, which he previously set in 2024 across 635 plate appearances. Castro continues to put together a solid season, racking up 50 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 94 contests.
