Jung went 2-for-4 with with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

Jung extended the Rangers' lead to 5-0 with a two-run blast in the fifth inning. The third baseman has mostly struggled through 10 May contests, going just 7-for-35 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .265/.301/.436 with four long balls, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and two steals across 123 plate appearances.

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

Tim Anderson will step in at second base while Rengifo hits the bench for the second time in the last four games. Though Rengifo still appears to be locked into a near-everyday role, he may have lost some job security after a slow start to May in which he's gone just 2-for-22 at the dish.

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

After making 10 straight starts at third base, Williamson will hit the bench Sunday after going 8-for-40 (.200 average) with 13 strikeouts during that span. Miles Mastrobuoni will step in at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Rivera will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Angels.

Rivera will pick up his fifth straight start at third base and should operate as the Orioles' main option at the position until one or both of Jordan Westburg (hamstring) and Ramon Urias (hamstring) return from the injured list. Coby Mayo had represented Rivera's main competition for reps at the hot corner before Mayo was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins due to a right calf injury, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Though Vargas will hit the bench for a second day in a row, his injury is considered minor, and he'll be available to play Sunday if needed. The 25-year-old has mostly held down an everyday role this season, but the White Sox plan to rotate Vargas, Andrew Vaughn and the newly promoted Tim Elko at first base and designated hitter against right-handed pitching. Vargas should still play regularly against lefties while handling the short side of a platoon at third base with Josh Rojas.

Caminero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Unless he's deployed off the bench, Caminero will have to put his five-game hitting streak on hold. Jose Caballero will cover third base in Caminero's stead.

Peraza went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Athletics.

Peraza started at third base and belted a two-run shot to left field in the sixth inning to give the Yankees a short-lived lead. He moved over to second base in the sixth frame and was then pinch hit for in the eighth despite the earlier long ball. Peraza hasn't been able to do much in his limited playing time this season, slashing .205/.271/.386 with two homers and seven RBI over 48 plate appearances. Saturday marked his lone start in the Yankees' past four games.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 loss to Philadelphia.

Ramirez has reached base safely in nine consecutive games, going 13-for-34 with four walks, four steals, four doubles, a home run, four RBI and five runs scored. He leads the Guardians with nine steals on the season.

High-A Cedar Rapids placed Amick on its 7-day injured list May 2 due to a left oblique strain.

The 22-year-old infielder slashed .338/.465/.442 with 14 runs and 12 RBI over 99 plate appearances before being shelved with the injury.

Lugo went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Lugo made his first career start Saturday, patrolling left field and batting ninth after making his major-league debut as a pinch runner Friday. The 24-year-old needed just two at-bats to deliver his first big-league hit, an RBI triple that stretched the Angels' lead to 4-0 in the fourth inning. It's unclear how much playing time Lugo will be able to carve out while the Angels contend with the absences of Mike Trout (knee) and Gustavo Campero (ankle). Given abysmal offensive performance from the team's outfielders, the opportunity for Lugo to steal a job is there.
