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

Grisham will take a seat while the Cubs send a lefty (Shota Imanaga) to the hill for the series finale, but the left-handed-hitting outfielder has also been seeing his playing time against right-handed pitching trend down of late. He's been on the bench for three of the Yankees' last four matchups against righties, with manager Aaron Boone seemingly prioritizing Jasson Dominguez in the lineup over Grisham.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

After going 0-for-7 while picking up starts in right field and at second base over the past two days, Caballero will retreat to the bench. Though Brandon Lowe (oblique) was recently placed on the injured list, Taylor Walls could end up being prioritized at second base ahead of Caballero, who is regarded as an inferior defender and is slashing just .149/.267/.162 since the beginning of June. Despite his lack of a full-time role of late, Caballero still leads the majors with 31 stolen bases on the season.

Walls will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Though he looked like he would lose out on playing time when shortstop Ha-Seong Kim was reinstated from the injured list July 3, Walls has proceeded to start eight of the Rays' ensuing 10 games. He initially benefited from Kim missing three straight starts due to a calf issue, but Walls now has opportunities available at the keystone after Brandon Lowe (oblique) was placed on the IL on Friday. Tampa Bay values Walls primarily for his defense, but he hasn't been a total zero at the plate thus far in July. He'll head into Sunday's contest with a .267 batting average, one home run and two steals through his first 10 games of the month.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Matt Thaiss will step in behind the plate while Jansen rests after starting at catcher in the Rays' previous two contests. Unless he's used off the bench Sunday, Jansen will wrap up Tampa Bay's first-half slate with a .207 average, nine home runs, 27 RBI and 24 runs over 66 games.

O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

O'Neill will take a seat while the Orioles deploy Jordan Westburg at designated hitter and roll out a starting outfield of Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Ramon Laureano from left to right. Since returning from the 10-day injured list July 4, O'Neill has gone 3-for-22 (.136) with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run in six games.

Stallings is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Alex Jackson will handle catching duties for Baltimore after Stallings started behind the plate the last two contests and five of the previous six. Stallings will likely continue to operate as the Orioles' No. 1 catcher until the team gets one of Adley Rutschman (oblique) or Gary Sanchez (knee) back, with Chadwick Tromp (back) and Maverick Handley (concussion) also currently on the injured list.

Rooker went 2-for-2 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays.

The 30-year-old slugger broke open a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning when he lofted a Kevin Gausman splitter over the fence in left field. Rooker is on a roll heading into his second All-Star Game, slashing .315/.373/.648 over the last 14 games with four of his 20 homers on the season, along with six doubles, 10 runs and 11 RBI.

Correa (ankle) will start at shortstop and bat cleanup Sunday against the Pirates.

The veteran shortstop sat out Saturday's 12-4 win after being removed from Friday's 2-1 victory due to a mild right ankle sprain, but he's back in action Sunday for the final game before the All-Star break. Correa is hitting .281 (9-for-32) through nine games in July, though he has just two extra-base hits (both doubles) and a .344 slugging percentage.

Miller walked one and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his 18th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Blue Jays.

After walking Joey Loperfido to lead off the frame, Miller buckled down and fanned Ernie Clement and George Springer to wrap up the victory. The flamethrowing righty hit triple-digit mph with 10 of his 18 pitches (nine strikes), and on the season he sports a 4.15 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 56:17 K:BB through 34.2 innings while converting 18 of his 21 save chances.

Lopez (3-5) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

The left-hander continues to give up some hard contact -- all four hits off Lopez went for extra bases, including a solo shot by Leo Jimenez in the second inning -- but he was able to minimize the damage. Lopez has been on a roll over the last month-plus, posting a 2.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 43:11 K:BB in his last seven outings and 35.2 innings, and his spot in the rotation should be secure coming out of the All-Star break.
