Bolte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

After being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Bolte started the past four games and went 5-for-13 with a walk, a stolen base and two RBI. The 22-year-old is one of the organization's top prospects and should get a fair amount of run while up with the big club. However, it'll be Lawrence Butler in center field and Carlos Cortes in right for Sunday's series finale.

Cortes is starting in right field and batting second Sunday against the Giants.

The 28-year-old sat the past two games despite the fact that the Giants sent out right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll rejoin the starting nine Sunday versus righty Adrian Houser. Cortes has a .226/.242/.290 slash line through 10 games in May, and his absence the past two days helped to get top prospect Henry Bolte into the lineup. Cortes still has an impressive .946 OPS on the season, but Bolte could cut into his playing time further, and could the eventual return of Denzel Clarke (foot).

Hays (calf) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Hays has been out of action since landing on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain in early May. He's already eligible for activation but will presumably need at least a few games to shake off rust. Jarred Kelenic has seen the bulk of the action in right field for the White Sox while Hays has been sidelined.

Langeliers isn't starting Sunday versus San Francisco.

Langeliers has been a constant in the A's lineup either behind the plate or as the DH, but he'll begin on the bench Sunday for the first time since he went on paternity leave in early May. He's been one of baseball's most outstanding hitters this season, posting a 1.005 OPS with 12 homers and 27 RBI through 187 plate appearances. Jonah Heim is starting at catcher for the A's on Sunday.

Berroa is dealing with right elbow inflammation and will have his rehab stint paused, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Berroa underwent Tommy John surgery last March and was just recently cleared to begin a rehab assignment. He begin that stint with Chicago's Arizona Complex League club Wednesday but threw only four pitches (all balls) before being removed. It's unclear when he'll be able to resume throwing.

Teel (hamstring) tweaked his right knee while taking a swing in a minor-league rehab game Saturday night, and he's set to be re-evaluated Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Teel was playing in his fourth rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte and appeared to be nearing his season debut for the White Sox. The catcher isn't in Charlotte's lineup Sunday, and it probably won't be clear when he'll be able to play again until after he's re-evaluated Tuesday. Teel had gone 4-for-15 with a home run and two RBI during his rehab stint at Triple-A.

Paredes isn't starting Sunday versus Texas.

Paredes has been a regular at third base for the Astros since Carlos Correa (ankle) was lost for the season, but he'll get at least a partial day off after going just 2-for-19 over his past five contests. Braden Shewmake is starting at the hot corner Sunday.

Anthony (wrist) is slated to starting swinging a bat by hitting flips Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

This is a big step for Anthony, as it will be his first time swinging a bat since landing on the IL with a right wrist injury in early May. The talented young outfielder will presumably still have several obstacles to clear -- including hitting off a machine and facing live pitching -- but he appears to at least be making progress in his recovery. A timeline for his return to the Red Sox should become clearer as he moves along in his hitting progression.

Rutschman is absent from Baltimore's starting lineup Sunday versus the Rangers.

Rutschman will get a well-deserved breather after starting the previous eight games, including five consecutive starts behind the plate. Samuel Basallo, who has frequently served as the DH, will get a turn at catcher Sunday.

Bell isn't in the Twins' starting lineup Sunday against Milwaukee.

Bell had started eight straight games but went just 6-for-33 with a whopping 17 strikeouts and no walks during that stretch. He'll get at least a partial day off Sunday while Ryan Jeffers gets a day off his feet as the Twins' DH.
