Holiday is out of the lineup for Sunday's affair with the A's.

With southpaw Jeffrey Springs on the mound for the Athletics, the left-handed-hitting Holliday will receive a breather for the final game of a three-game set. Blaze Alexander will lead off and play second base for Baltimore.

San Diego recalled Song from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Song will rejoin the big-league club just six days after being optioned to El Paso. In 134 plate appearances in the majors, the 29-year-old is slashing .202/.305/.263 with one homer, 15 RBI and 12 stolen bases this season. The Padres sent Gavin Sheets (foot) to the injured list to open a slot on the active roster for Song. He will man the hot corner and bat ninth Sunday against Tampa Bay.

Meidroth is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game with the Twins.

After an 0-for-4 performance Saturday, Meidroth will sit out the final game of a three-game set Sunday against the Twins. Sam Antonacci will move over to second base and lead off for the White Sox.

The Cardinals placed Wetherholt on the 10-day IL Sunday with right wrist tendinitis.

Wetherholt will land on the injured list for the first time in his career. The 23-year-old rookie has been struggling over his last 30 games, batting .204/.323/.292 with two homers and eight RBI over 131 plate appearances. The Cardinals elevated Cesar Prieto from Triple-A Memphis to replace Wetherholt on the 26-man roster.

Clement is absent from the lineup for Toronto's matchup with Seattle on Sunday.

Clement has gone 0-for-8 with two strikeouts over the first two games of the series, prompting Toronto to give him a day off. Charles McAdoo will man second base and bat eighth.

The Red Sox optioned Seigler to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Seigler will give up his spot on the active roster to Trevor Story (sports hernia), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Over 171 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, Seigler has slashed .250/.331/.405 with three home runs, two steals, 21 runs and 13 RBI.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored Saturday against the Cardinals.

Lowe kicked off the scoring in Saturday's win by going yard in the first inning, his 28th homer of the season. While he's had a fairly strong campaign overall, Lowe has hit only .215 while striking out at a 41.3 percent clip across 25 games in August. Nevertheless, he needs only three RBI to top last year's 83, his highest total since 2021.

Sogard went 3-for-8 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI during a doubleheader split with the Yankees on Saturday.

Sogard knocked an RBI double in Game 1 and added a solo homer in the nightcap. The utility man started at second base in both contests after making one start each at shortstop, first base and third base over his previous three games. Sogard came into Saturday in an 0-for-13 skid, but he's held his own at the plate overall in August, batting .260 with three homers, eight doubles, 17 runs and nine RBI through 27 contests.

Basabe isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Arizona, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Basabe will grab a seat on the bench after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Friday's loss. While he sits, Nate Furman will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Bazzana is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

The lefty-hitting Bazzana has slashed .188/.295/.232 in 129 plate appearances against same-side pitching this season and has fallen into a platoon role lately as a result. That trend will continue Saturday with the 2024 No. 1 overall pick sitting against southpaw Daniel Lynch as Angel Genao starts at the keystone for Cleveland.
