Jung went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run in Monday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

Jung normally bats fifth in the order, but manager Bruce Bochy wanted to get a look at him in the No. 3 spot while dropping Nate Lowe to fifth, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. The tweak was prompted by the manager's desire to break up two consecutive left-handed batters -- Corey Seager and Lowe -- against lefty starters. It's a change Bochy said he's considering going forward but did not commit to it being permanent. For one night, however, the new order paid off. Jung had just one home run through 14 games this month, but he's now gone deep twice in his last three appearances. Even after the three-hit day, the rookie third baseman has gone 16-for-64 (.250) across 17 June contests. Still, he owns an impressive .284/.339/.509 slash line with 30 extra-base knocks and 51 runs scored through 295 plate appearances this season.

Lewis is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Red Sox.

Lewis will get a breather after he went 2-for-11 with an RBI and two runs scored while starting all four games of the team's series with Detroit. Kyle Farmer will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in the opener with Boston.

The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left wrist contusion.

Rendon missed each of the Angels' last three games due to the injury, which he sustained when he was hit by a pitch in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rangers. The Angels will be able to backdate Rendon's IL stint to Friday, so assuming he shows improvement during the upcoming week, he could be ready for activation when first eligible June 26. Luis Rengifo will likely continue to serve as the main replacement at third base while Rendon is on the mend.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Reds.

Bregman entered Sunday's game hitless in five of his previous six games, but he delivered his first multi-extra-base hit performance since May 17. His power production is down -- his .387 slugging percentage would be his lowest in a season by 35 points -- but he's still managed to tally 40 RBI and 39 runs scored across 71 games on the campaign.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with one double, two runs scored and one steal in Sunday's loss against the Angels.

Garcia swiped a bag for the second straight contest to improve his season total to seven in as many attempts. The infielder has been on a tear over his last 10 games, hitting 12-for-38 (.316) with six runs scored and a triple.

LeMahieu isn't starting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

LeMahieu started Sunday's matinee and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Josh Donaldson starts at the hot corner and bats fifth.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Sunday that Henderson was scratched from the lineup due to a stomach flu that is going through the clubhouse.

Henderson was slated to lead off against the Cubs on Sunday, but the rookie infielder was a late scratch from the lineup due to the illness. The Orioles have an off-day Monday before facing the Rays in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, and Henderson should be considered day-to-day for that upcoming contest.

Bride is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Phillies.

Bride's struggled mightily at the plate as of late, and a .308 average June 9 has dropped to .209 after Bride went hitless over his last five games. Jace Peterson is playing third base and batting second against Philadelphia on Sunday while Tony Kemp gets a start at second base and hits seventh.

Henderson was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs for an undisclosed reason.

Henderson was set to lead off and play third base in the series finale, but he's now out of the lineup with Ramon Urias lined up at third base and hitting sixth, while Austin Hays moves to the leadoff spot. The Orioles should provide clarity on why Henderson is out of the lineup shortly.

Chapman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rangers.

Chapman has appeared in 70 of Toronto's 72 games thus far this season, but the third baseman will get a day off for the series finale against Texas on Sunday. Santiago Espinal will take over at third base and hit seventh while Chapman rests.
