Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Young had started each of the Mariners' last nine games, but after producing a poor .188/.333/.250 slash line during that stretch, he'll hit the bench Sunday. The Mariners called up one of their top prospects in Michael Arroyo from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, and he'll immediately enter the lineup in place of Young, starting at second base against left-hander Gage Jump. The right-handed-hitting Arroyo could end up settling into a platoon at the keystone with Young, who is batting .218/.278/.294 (69 wRC+) over 187 plate appearances versus lefties.

White (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

White hasn't played since the Athletics' 8-5 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday, when he exited in the second inning due to lower-back tightness. The Athletics' resistance to move White to the injured list suggests that he's still being viewed as day-to-day, though it's unclear if he's realistic candidate to make a pinch-hitting appearance Sunday. White's ongoing absence will continue to open up extra playing time for Alika Williams, who will stick in the starting nine for a sixth straight contest.

Montes (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

The 21-year-old Montes departed Friday's contest due to left hip soreness and is on the bench Sunday for a second consecutive game. He's guaranteed another day of rest since the Mariners have a team day off Monday. Dominic Canzone is manning right field for Seattle while Cal Raleigh rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Heim started the past six games and will receive Sunday off after going 6-for-25 (.240 average) with two doubles and a solo homer during that stretch. Brian Serven will step in behind the plate and bat ninth in the series finale at Seattle.

Clarke is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Clarke went 0-for-4 in Saturday's contest and will hit the bench Sunday for the third time in six games since coming off the injured list Tuesday. Henry Bolte will shift to center field while Carlos Cortes and Lawrence Butler start in left and right, respectively.

Carter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

The left-handed-hitting Carter will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Rays send another lefty starter (Ian Seymour) to the bump. Ezequiel Duran will spell Carter in center field and will bat leadoff.

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

The left-handed-hitting Pederson will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Rays send another lefty starter (Ian Seymour) to the bump. Logan O'Hoppe will enter the starting nine in place of Pederson as the Rangers' designated hitter.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

After starting in each of the last four games, the left-handed-hitting Mullins will retreat to the bench while southpaw MacKenzie Gore toes the rubber for the Rangers. Jonny DeLuca will spell Mullins in center field and will bat sixth.

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

Walls will hit the bench for the series finale after he went 0-for-6 with a walk while starting in both of the past two contests. Jorge Mateo will cover shortstop in place of Walls.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Nelson Velazquez will enter the starting nine in place of the left-handed-hitting Trammell, who will hit the bench while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez takes the hill for Arizona. Trammell had been included in the lineup in each of Houston's last five games, going 4-for-15 with three doubles, two walks, one stolen base and one run.
