The Rangers selected Edwards' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Edwards inked a minor-league deal with the Rangers on July 22, and after posting a 5.31 ERA in eight appearances (seven starts) at Round Rock, he'll join the active roster. The 34-year-old started the season in the Angels' organization and logged a 1.54 ERA in 11.2 innings with their Triple-A affiliate before electing free agency in May.

The Rangers designated Boushley for assignment Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Boushley made four appearances after being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Aug. 27, allowing nine runs (six earned) with a 5:1 K:BB across 3.2 innings. Texas selected Carl Edwards' contract in a corresponding move. Boushley owns a 6.02 ERA in 43.1 innings with the Rangers this season.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Houston.

With lefty Framber Valdez on the hill for the Astros, the left-handed-hitting Smith will get the day off after starting in each of the previous seven games. Ezequiel Duran will cover shortstop in Smith's stead.

Selby (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reported Sunday.

Selby has been on the shelf with a strained left hamstring since July 29. It's unclear how many rehab outings the 27-year-old reliever will require before being reinstated from the IL, but it seems as though he'll be healthy before the end of the regular season. In nine appearances with the Orioles in 2025, Selby logged a 4.09 ERA with a 12:2 K:BB across 11 innings.

Goldschmidt has been tending to a bone bruise in his right knee recently, but he'll be available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Goldschmidt missed multiple games in August due to a right knee sprain, so his current bout with the bone bruise could be related. Testing on his knee came back clean, and the Yankees are confident the issue will be manageable, even though he was available off the bench only in an emergency during Saturday's 3-1 win. Goldschmidt appears to have fallen into a short-side platoon role at first base with Ben Rice, who has started eight of the last 11 games against right-handed pitchers.

Schneemann started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. He was also caught stealing.

Schneemann was integral to the win, which vaulted Cleveland above Tampa Bay in the postseason chase. He popped a two-run, bases-loaded double to left-center to put the Guardians on top in the fourth inning. He later led off the ninth with a single and scored the game-winning run. The offense came out of nowhere for Schneemann, who entered the contest on a 1-for-25 skid over the previous eight games.

Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

The Orioles will give Holliday a couple of days to catch his breath with a team day off coming Monday. Holliday had made 12 consecutive starts at second base, but he'll yield to Luis Vazquez on Sunday.

Bichette is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette started the previous 55 contests and will receive a break Sunday after going 9-for-19 with four doubles and two homers in the first five games of September. He appeared to get a bit banged up during Saturday's contest on a slide into home plate, though no injury has been announced and the shortstop never exited the contest. Monday's team off day will provide Bichette with two consecutive days to rest ahead of a stretch of a stretch of 13 games in 13 days.

Witt (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Witt left Friday's 2-1 win with low back spasms and will close out the weekend with two straight absences while he manages the injury. On an encouraging note, an MRI on Witt's back returned clean Saturday, so he should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Cleveland.

Manager Will Venable said Saturday he "wouldn't be surprised" to see Vargas (hand) be activated from the 10-day injured list during a three-game series against the Rays that starts Tuesday.

Vargas has been on the shelf since Aug. 29 due to a sprained left hand he sustained during a collision with a baserunner while playing first base. According to Venable, Vargas' rehab has been going well, and the 25-year-old could rejoin the active roster as soon as Tuesday.
