Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Benintendi will hit the bench for the second time in the series, sitting along with Dustin Harris and Tristan Peters against southpaw Noah Cameron. The White Sox will go with Lenyn Sosa as its designated hitter and Tanner Murray, Luisangel Acuna and Derek Hill in the outfield.

Peters is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Peters will hit the bench for the second time in the series, sitting along with Dustin Harris and Andrew Benintendi against southpaw Noah Cameron. The White Sox will go with a starting outfield of Tanner Murray, Luisangel Acuna and Derek Hill in the series finale.

Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

The left-handed hitter will take a seat for the second time in the series against another southpaw in Noah Cameron. Harris has started three straight games against right-handed pitching and could have a hold on a strong-side platoon role until Chicago gets Kyle Teel (hamstring) or Austin Hays (hamstring) back from the injured list. A promotion for top prospect Sam Antonacci could also block Harris' path to regular playing time in left field.

Williamson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Williamson had started 10 of the past 11 games, but he'll take a seat Sunday while Taylor Walls and Richie Palacios form the Rays' middle-infield tandem. Once Gavin Lux (shoulder) is cleared to return from the injured list, Williamson could move into a utility role.

The Orioles recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 26-year-old was added to the taxi squad Sunday morning, and it didn't take long for him to join the active roster once Tyler O'Neill (concussion) landed on the injured list. Rodriguez should serve as a reserve outfielder while up in the majors.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

After starting behind the plate the past two days, Fortes will receive a breather. Hunter Feduccia will handle catching duties for the Rays.

Rodon (elbow/hamstring) is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session in the early portion of the coming week, per MLB.com.

Rodon continues to progress in his recovery from left elbow surgery, as he threw a 40-pitch bullpen Thursday. He recently experienced right hamstring tightness, which has affected his ability to field and cover bases, but the organization has suggested that the issue isn't a major concern. Rodon likely won't begin a minor-league rehab assignment until that issue is cleared up, however, and activation before the end of April is looking increasingly unlikely.

Cortes will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Mets.

Cortes will crack the Athletics lineup for the fourth time in five games, with the last three starts coming at DH. The 28-year-old looks as though he'll be in line for regular playing time against righties while Brent Rooker (oblique) is on the shelf. Cortes has wielded a hot bat in the early going, slashing .333/.455/.611 with three extra-base knocks in 22 plate appearances.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moncada started the previous five games but will head to the bench Sunday after going 2-for-12 with six walks, a triple, two RBI, two runs and seven strikeouts. Oswald Peraza will step in at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series finale in Cincinnati.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The Reds are sending a southpaw starter (Andrew Abbott) to the hill for the second straight day, so the left-handed-hitting Lowe will remain on the bench in the series finale in Cincinnati. Bryce Teodosio will receive the starting nod in left field.
