Meidroth (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Meidroth will miss out on a third consecutive start while he continues to tend to a bruised right thumb after being hit by a pitch Wednesday. Josh Rojas will spell Meidroth at second base and will bat ninth Sunday.

Hernaiz will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With Jacob Wilson (forearm) stuck on the injured list, Hernaiz appears to have taken over as the Athletics' primary shortstop. He'll collect his fifth straight start Sunday after going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over the previous four contests.

Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Liover Peguero will move over to shortstop Sunday after a massive three-homer game as the first baseman Saturday, leaving no room in the lineup for Kiner-Falefa. Even if Peguero is handed an everyday role at shortstop over the final two months of the season, Kiner-Falefa could retain playing time by shifting over to third base, where Pittsburgh has an opening after trading Ke'Bryan Hayes to Cincinnati.

Rocchio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Rocchio will take a seat after he had started each of the Guardians' previous 24 games while slashing .287/.330/.475 with one home run, 15 RBI and nine runs. Daniel Schneemann will fill in at second base.

Pena (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pena missed more than a month due to a small rib fracture before returning from the injured list Friday, only to exit the Astros' series-opening loss to the Red Sox early due to a right hamstring cramp. Fortunately for Pena, the setback appears to be a minor one, as he'll be back in action Sunday. After filling in at shortstop Saturday, the newly acquired Carlos Correa will shift back over to third base.

Atlanta returned Ornelas to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Ornelas was added to the big-league roster Saturday for Atlanta's matchup with the Reds in the MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tenn., which was ultimately suspended in the first inning after a couple rain delays. With Atlanta needing an extra arm for the continuation of the game Sunday, right-hander Hurston Waldrep was called up from Triple-A to replace Ornelas as the team's 27th man.

Peguero went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI during Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rockies.

Peguero supplied all of the runs for the Pirates on Saturday, and he did so in a big way. He followed up a leadoff homer with a a three-run blast to left field in the fifth to give Pittsburgh a 4-0 lead, and he capped off his big night with a solo shot with two outs in the ninth. Peguero extended his hitting streak to five games, during which he's gone 7-for-19 (.368) with one steal, four long balls and seven RBI. Though he lacks a direct path to an everyday role at the moment, Peguero is capable of playing all over the infield and could earn steadier at-bats as a result of Saturday's breakout performance.

Perdomo went 0-for-2 with three walks, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Perdomo had just two steals in all of July, and it took him just two contests in August to match that number. The shortstop has been held hitless in six of his last eight games, but he's racked up a 6:2 BB:K in that span to stay effective at getting on base. Overall, he's posted a career-high 17 steals while adding 11 home runs, 75 RBI, 58 runs scored and a .274/.376/.421 slash line across 110 games.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a double, a run, a walk and four RBI in a 12-6 rout of San Francisco on Saturday.

Lindor tallied his first RBI on a bunt single in the fourth inning, added a traditional single for another RBI in the sixth and capped his production with a two-run double in the seventh. The star shortstop notched his 12th three-hit game of the season and recorded his second four-RBI performance. Lindor had been cold coming into Saturday, going 4-for-26 with only one RBI over his previous six contests, so perhaps his bat is back on the right track.

Story went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBI in a 7-3 win against the Astros on Saturday.

Story broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run blast to left field in the third inning and tacked on an RBI double in the seventh. The veteran shortstop has three home runs over his past four games and is batting an even .500 (7-for-14) with seven RBI during that span. Story is up to 18 home runs and 68 RBI on the season -- both of those totals are his highest since his 24-homer, 75-RBI campaign with Colorado in 2021.
