Walker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It's a rare off day for Walker, who started the previous 30 games after spending a few days on the paternity list in early July. The first baseman is batting just .216 (11-for-51) in August but has four doubles, three homers and a 9:14 BB:K.

Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Torres will get his first day off since Aug. 5 in what appears to be a routine maintenance day. Zach McKinstry will cover second base in Torres' stead.

Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Dingler will retreat to the bench after three straight starts. Jake Rogers will handle catching duties for Detroit on Sunday.

Volpe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in St. Louis.

The day off ends a run of 46 consecutive starts for Volpe, who has gone 3-for-26 (.115 average) with a double and a homer in the past seven games. Jose Caballero will step in at shortstop and bat ninth for the series finale against the Cardinals.

Goldschmidt (knee) will start at first base and bat sixth Sunday against the Cardinals.

Goldschmidt has been battling a knee sprain, but he'll return to the lineup for the first time since Tuesday. The veteran first baseman has a .716 OPS through 11 games in August, though he's gone just 3-for-24 outside of a three-hit performance Aug. 4 in Miami.

Gasper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

He started four straight games earlier this month, but Gasper has predictably found himself as the odd man out more often than not since Matt Wallner returned from the paternity list. Gasper will remain on the bench Sunday for the fifth time in seven contests.

Outman will start in left field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Outman will be awarded a second straight start despite going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 8-5 loss. With Alan Roden (thumb) getting shut down for the season, Outman could be in line for an extended trial in a strong-side platoon role.

Hatch is slated to start Sunday's game against the Tigers at Target Field, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Minnesota will have a couple of holes in its rotation until Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and Pablo Lopez (shoulder) return from the injured list, and Hatch will fill one of those vacancies Sunday. The right-hander should be able to provide the Twins with some length after making two 4.1-inning bulk-relief appearances since Aug. 6. Between his stops with the Twins and Royals this season, Hatch owns a 5.59 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 6:8 K:BB in 9.2 innings over three outings.

Isbel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Isbel will get a breather after starting the last three contests and going 2-for-8 with a pair of walks. John Rave will replace Isbel in center field and bat eighth Sunday.

Stanton (soreness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals but said he's available to pinch hit off the bench, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

The veteran slugger is sitting for a third straight game after making four starts in the right field over a five-game stretch, which marked the first time that he had played the field since 2023. Stanton is apparently dealing with some soreness, though both he and manager Aaron Boone declined to offer any specifics. The Yankees have a team day off Monday before Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay, and it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared to return to the outfield for that two-game series. Since returning from the injured list in early August, Aaron Judge has been limited to serving as the designated hitter after receiving an elbow injection, and the reigning MVP has understandably been prioritized at the DH spot over Stanton.
