Culpepper exited early Saturday in Triple-A St. Paul's win over Toledo due to glute tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 23-year-old shortstop appears ready to make his big-league debut after having thus far produced a .273/.377/.498 slash line with 14 home runs and 15 steals over 61 games with St. Paul, but his first order of business will be recovering from the glute injury. Per Emily Waldon of Baseball America, the Twins don't view the issue as a major concern, as Culpepper is expected to avoid a stint on the 7-day injured list and return to the St. Paul lineup in 3-to-5 days.

Bonemer was promoted to Double-A Birmingham on Sunday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Bonemer will move up a level in Chicago's minor-league farm system, joining the Double-A squad after posting a .238 average with 18 home runs, 43 RBI, 52 runs and 10 stolen bases over 223 at-bats in 61 games with High-A Winston-Salem this year. The 20-year-old is considered to be the top overall prospect for the White Sox, and he'll look to build off of his impressive power numbers at the next level.

Seager (ribs/jaw) is dealing with concussion symptoms, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Seager is set to be sidelined for a third consecutive game Sunday night against the Red Sox as he continues to recover from his collison with Carter Jensen at home plate Thursday. Manager Skip Schumaker outlined that the shortstop is experiencing "mild" concussion symptoms, so it's unclear how close he is to returning to the lineup. Ezequiel Duran is drawing the start at shortstop and batting fourth in Sunday night's series finale in Boston.

The Twins designated Arcia for assignment following Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals, Audra Martin of Twins.tv reports.

Arcia had his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul on May 19 and produced a .271/.300/.354 slash line with one home run, two RBI and six runs in 19 contests with Minnesota. Minnesota will call up outfielder Kyler Fedko from Triple-A St. Paul to replace Arcia on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster.

Seager (ribs/jaw) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Seager will be held out of the starting nine for a third straight day while he contends with ribs and jaw soreness stemming from a collision at home plate in Thursday's win over the Royals. Per MLB.com, manager Skip Schumaker relayed Saturday that Seager's condition has improved, but it's unclear if the five-time All-Star will be available off the bench for the series finale. Ezequiel Duran will cover shortstop in place of Seager on Sunday.

Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

The Rays will give Walls a rest after he started at shortstop each of the past three days while going a collective 4-for-8 with two walks, two stolen bases, one run and one RBI. Ben Williamson will cover shortstop in Walls' stead in the series finale.

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

The 24-year-old returned from the injured list Friday and will receive a day off after going 1-for-7 with a walk, two RBI and one run in his first two games back from a dislocated left shoulder. With Wilson on the bench, Alika Williams will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.

Crawford (hand) said he expects to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday when first eligible, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Crawford landed on the IL on June 8 due to a right hand contusion and won't need to go on a rehab assignment prior to being activated. The long-time shortstop has taken grounders almost exclusively at third base in pregame workouts during the Mariners' current road trip, strongly suggesting rookie Colt Emerson will continue playing regularly at shortstop when Crawford returns. The veteran infielder could face more of a squeeze for playing time once Brendan Donovan (groin/adductor) also returns from the IL.

Gimenez was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees due to left wrist soreness.

It's unclear how or when Gimenez sustained the injury, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale after initially being penciled in to start. Ernie Clement will shift over to shortstop while Davis Schneider enters the lineup at second base.

The Guardians reinstated Arias (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Arias served as the primary shortstop to begin the season and posted a .683 OPS over 10 games before landing on the IL due to a hamstring strain, but he's likely to fill a utility role upon his return now that standout rookie Travis Bazzana has settled into an everyday role at the keystone, with Brayan Rocchio established at shortstop. Arias could see most of his playing time at third base while Jose Ramirez (hand) is sidelined due to a hamate bone fracture, but he'll be competing for reps with Daniel Schneemann.
