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.

Gausman (6-7) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over five innings as the Blue Jays were downed 4-3 by the A's. He struck out two.

With the game tied 2-2 in the fifth inning, Gausman left a splitter up in the zone for Brent Rooker, and the A's slugger drove it over the left-field fence for a game-winning two-run homer. Gausman has struggled to find some consistency since the beginning of June, posting a 4.95 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 43:22 K:BB through 43.2 innings over his last eight starts, so the All-Star break comes at a good time for the veteran right-hander.

Detmers probably won't be moving into the Angels' rotation despite the demotion of Jack Kochanowicz to the minors, per Aaron Coloma of SI.com.

Kochanowicz and Detmers battled for the fifth starter role in spring training, with the former ultimately getting the role. However, Kochanowicz has struggled to a 6.03 ERA over 19 starts and was sent down to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday. When asked ahead of that demotion whether Detmers could be an option to move from the bullpen into a starting role, interim manager Ray Montgomery stated, "I would hate to say no to anything, but I don't think that's going to happen." Detmers has thrived in a setup role -- though he has posted a mediocre 4.15 ERA on the campaign, that is largely due to a horrific three-outing stretch in late April and early May during which he allowed 12 runs over one-third of an inning. Since then, the lefty has emerged as one of the Angels' top high-leverage options, posting a 1.24 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 38:13 K:BB over 29 frames spanning 28 appearances while recording eight holds and two saves.

Anthony went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 1-0 win over Tampa Bay.

Anthony extended his hit streak to eight games in the fourth inning, when he legged out a double on a ball hit to right field with an exit velocity of 103.4 mph. With Masataka Yoshida back on the roster and most likely starting at DH, Boston's crowded outfield mix could change on a daily basis, with Ceddanne Rafaela moving from center field to second base Saturday to accommodate Anthony, Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu. Anthony has made an impressive adjustment to MLB pitching. After batting .114 over his first 15 games in the majors, he's hit safely in 13 of his last 14 starts, posting a .379/.438/.534 slash line with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI and 13 runs scored during that stretch.

Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the A's.

The 24-year-old infielder took Jacob Lopez deep in the second inning for the game's first run. It was Jimenez's first big-league homer this season in eight contests after he popped four in 63 games as a rookie in 2024, but just his second hit in 16 at-bats since his promotion at the beginning of the month. He's been splitting the workload at second base with Ernie Clement while Andres Gimenez (ankle) has been on the shelf, but the Blue Jays have plenty of options to fill that spot if Jimenez doesn't supply more consistent offense.

Trout went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

His big blow was a two-run homer off Zac Gallen in the fifth inning, which gave the Halos a 6-2 lead. Trout is finding a groove heading into the All-Star break, going yard four times in the last seven games, and the 33-year-old is closing in on some big career milestones -- he needs five more home runs to reach 400, and six more RBI to hit 1,000.
