Gasper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

He started four straight games earlier this month, but Gasper has predictably found himself as the odd man out more often than not since Matt Wallner returned from the paternity list. Gasper will remain on the bench Sunday for the fifth time in seven contests.

Stanton (soreness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals but said he's available to pinch hit off the bench, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

The veteran slugger is sitting for a third straight game after making four starts in the right field over a five-game stretch, which marked the first time that he had played the field since 2023. Stanton is apparently dealing with some soreness, though both he and manager Aaron Boone declined to offer any specifics. The Yankees have a team day off Monday before Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay, and it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared to return to the outfield for that two-game series. Since returning from the injured list in early August, Aaron Judge has been limited to serving as the designated hitter after receiving an elbow injection, and the reigning MVP has understandably been prioritized at the DH spot over Stanton.

Alvarez (hand) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Corpus Christi, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez took eight at-bats in live batting practice Saturday at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida without issue, and Houston was comfortable clearing him for his game action since he landed on the injured list May 5. Manager Joe Espada said that Alvarez will serve as Corpus Christi's designated hitter Tuesday, and the 28-year-old will likely need multiple games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate before being activated from the 60-day IL. Jose Altuve has been seeing most of the starts at DH for the Astros of late, but he would likely shift back to second base once Alvarez is ready to return.

The Rangers recalled Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, and he'll start at third base and bat eighth in the series finale in Toronto.

Though he'll enter the starting nine in place of a resting Josh Jung, Freeman is unlikely to handle an everyday role with Texas. He previously went 1-for-7 with an RBI and two runs in four games during a one-week stay in the majors shortly after the All-Star break, but he earned his return ticket by slashing .429/.453/.800 with seven home runs in 18 games after returning to Round Rock.

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

Texas included him in the initial lineup released for Sunday's contest, but Pederson was scratched for non-health-related reasons, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Rowdy Tellez will fill in as the designated hitter.

Keith went 1-for-2 with two walks, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Twins.

Keith made an impact before getting lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning when the Twins turned to a lefty out of the bullpen. The Tigers are limiting Keith's exposure to southpaws -- he has only 42 at-bats in those matchups this year along with a rough .367 OPS. It's been a different story against righties, as he has an .818 OPS in 291 at-bats against opposite-handed pitching.

After appearing as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, Jones went 2-for-2 with a double, a stolen base and two RBI in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Twins.

He replaced Colt Keith when Minnesota turned to lefty Kody Funderburk, and Jones quickly made an impact on the game. While he doesn't see much run against righties, the outfielder has done well against southpaws this season, posting an .835 OPS across 70 at-bats. He remains a platoon option for the Tigers with fantasy value in the right matchups.

Rice went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, seven RBI, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's 12-8 victory over St. Louis.

Rice exploded at the plate, driving in a season-high seven runs to match the career mark he set as a rookie last year. The big showing pushed his OPS north of .800, as he now sports a .240/.332/.472 slash line with 21 doubles, 18 homers and 45 RBI across 103 games in 2025.

Rooker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

Rooker is up to 25 homers on the year, including five over 27 games since the All-Star break. He's been steady in August, batting .286 (16-for-56) over 14 contests while adding 10 RBI and seven extra-base hits. The slugger is up to a .275/.348/.501 slash line, 72 RBI, 79 runs scored and five stolen bases over 125 games this season.

Alvarez (hand) took eight live at-bats in Florida on Saturday and will return to Houston on Sunday as the Astros determine his next steps, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez hasn't played in a game since May 3, so he'll likely require a minor-league rehab stint of some length before he's able to return to the Astros. With that said, his ability to swing against live pitching Saturday is a promising sign that he's moving past the fractured right hand that has cost him a significant chunk of the campaign. Alvarez could be back playing MLB games before the end of August, which would be a big boon for fantasy managers who have kept him rostered amid his lengthy absence.
