Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

He'll take a seat for the series finale while the Orioles go with Weston Wilson at third base. Mayo had started the last five games, going 2-for-16 with an 0:7 BB:K during that stretch to bring his slash line down to .158/.218/.277 for the season.

Rumfield is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

With southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the bump for Philadelphia, the Rockies will stock up on right-handed bats in the lineup, with Rumfield joining fellow left-handed hitters Edouard Julien, Troy Johnston and Brett Sullivan on the bench. Willi Castro will receive the nod at first base.

The Blue Jays scratched Barger from the starting nine for Sunday's game against the Angels due to a sore right elbow.

Barger had been slated to bat leadoff and start in right field in his second game back from the IL, but he'll end up hitting the bench while he tends to an injury that may have resulted from a 101.2 mph throw from right field Saturday that erased Jorge Soler at the plate and prevented a run. Ernie Clement is now in line to serve as Toronto's table setter in the series finale, while Myles Straw was a late addition to the starting outfield. After a month-long stint on the injured list due to left and right ankle sprains, Barger was activated Saturday and went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in the Blue Jays' 14-1 victory.

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

Sosa will hit the bench after starting four straight games and going 3-for-15 with three RBI and one run. Two of those starts came at third base in place of Alec Bohm, but Sosa may not be in line for much playing time at the hot corner after Bohm finally busted out with two home runs and a double in his return to the lineup Saturday.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 2-1 extra-innings win over Minnesota.

Ramirez singled, stole second base and scored on Kyle Manzardo's single in the fourth inning. Those were the only two hits the Guardians could muster on the day, but they were able to draw nine walks. Ramirez's bat has disappointed so far, as he has a .221 batting average, but his 16.8 percent walk rate has given him the opportunity to steal 15 bases, second in MLB, and score 25 runs in 41 games.

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

Tena started five of the previous six games, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while CJ Abrams gets a day off from playing shortstop as the designated hitter. While Washington may continue to hold him out against left-handed pitching, Tena should start versus right-handers more often than not, as he's maintained a .288/.338/.485 slash line (130 wRC+) over 71 plate appearances in that split this season.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a 4-2 victory versus St. Louis.

Machado gave San Diego closer Mason Miller an insurance run with a solo blast in the bottom of the eighth inning. The homer also marked a personal milestone for the veteran third baseman, as it was his 200th regular-season home run since he joined San Diego. Machado entered Saturday having gone 0-for-19 at the plate over his previous five contests, and he's still slashing an uncharacteristic .197/.303/.364 on the season, so he'll look to use his late long ball as a catalyst toward better success at the plate.

Jung went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's win over the Cubs.

Jung was one of three players who recorded multi-hit performances for the Rangers in this win, and the third baseman left his mark with a solo shot in the bottom of the second. This three-hit performance snapped a mini 0-for-12 slump for Jung, who preceded that downturn at the plate with a 13-game hitting streak. Jung is now hitting .319 with an .891 OPS, five homers, 20 RBI and 15 runs on the season.

Karros went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a double Saturday against the Phillies.

Karros doubled in a pair in the fourth inning, which also extended his hitting streak to nine games. He's gone 10-for-32 with three doubles, six RBI and four runs scored in that span. Even with that hot stretch, Karros is hitting only .223 with nine RBI across 135 plate appearances on the year. He has been Colorado's primary third baseman all season, though he has been out of the lineup in two of the team's last six games against right-handers.

Bohm went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

It was Bohm's fifth career multi-homer game and his first of 2026. The 29-year-old third baseman, who hit eighth in the lineup, is still off to a dreadful start overall, batting .177 with three homers, four doubles and 19 RBI over 130 at-bats, but Saturday's showing was a significant step forward for him as he tries to work his way back up Philadelphia's batting order. The four RBI on Saturday were a season high as well.
