Teel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Teel will get a breather after he caught all nine innings of Saturday night's 6-1 loss. Edgar Quero will spell Teel behind the plate in the series finale.

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

Jansen will receive a breather for the series finale after he had started behind the plate in each of the Rays' previous three contests. Matt Thaiss will handle catching duties for Tampa Bay on Sunday.

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

Caballero will hit the bench after starting the previous four games, and his outlook for playing time appears to have improved with Ha-Seong Kim (back) and Brandon Lowe (foot) both on the injured list. With Caballero out of the lineup, the Rays will turn to Tristan Gray at second base while Taylor Walls handles shortstop.

Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

He will get the afternoon off as Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) returns from the 10-day injured list. Perez had started each of the Tigers' previous five games, going 2-for-19 with a walk, a stolen base, a run and an RBI.

Roberts (groin) will bat seventh and start at designated hitter Sunday against the Cubs.

The outfielder wasn't initially included in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, but he was able to convince manager Will Venable to insert him at designated hitter, according to Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com. Robert is in the midst of a nine-game hit streak and has gone 12-for-32 (.375 average) with two home runs, four steals, nine RBI and 10 runs during that span.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Goldschmidt will be on the bench for the third time in the Yankees' last four matchups, this time against Zack Wheeler. For the season, Goldschmidt is slashing just .246/.292/.332 in 276 plate appearances against right-handed pitching, and he could continue to cede more starts in those matchups to Ben Rice, who has produced a 131 wRC+ versus righties.

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

Yoshida will make his second straight start against a right-handed pitching, and he could begin to find himself in the lineup on a more frequent basis with Ceddanne Rafaela seeing more playing time at second base to cover for Marcelo Mayer (wrist), temporarily relieving Boston's logjam in the outfield/DH ranks.

Interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Rutschman (oblique) is scheduled to be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Rutschman has gone 2-for-15 with a double in four rehab games and is on the cusp of rejoining the big club. The 27-year-old has been on the shelf with a strained oblique for over a month. He was in the midst of an underwhelming campaign prior to the injury with a .227/.319/.372 slash line in 276 plate appearances.

The Royals recalled Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

The right-hander will provide Kansas City with a fresh arm in the bullpen, but he's unlikely to be entrusted with a high-leverage role. Over his previous stints in the majors this season, Bowlan has made 17 appearances and has delivered a 4.94 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB in 23.2 innings.

The Royals placed Bubic (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Sunday after he was diagnosed with a left rotator cuff strain.

Bubic complained of shoulder stiffness after Saturday's start, and the Royals quickly determined that he was dealing with an injury to his rotator cuff. According to Anne Rogers of MLB.com, manager Matt Quatraro said that Bubic will undergo further testing, but the left-hander is a good bet to miss more than the minimum 15 days. The loss of Bubic -- who earned his first All-Star nod after compiling a 2.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 116 strikeouts in 116.1 innings over his first 20 starts this season -- is a devastating blow to a Kansas City rotation that has been missing Cole Ragans (shoulder) since early June.
