Caballero was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins due to right arm soreness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

The 28-year-old was penciled in to start at shortstop, but he instead ended up being removed from the lineup card. The specifics of the injury aren't clear, so Caballero should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus Detroit. Taylor Walls replaced him and will bat seventh.

The Yankees optioned Sandridge to Triple-Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

The left-hander allowed two runs over two-thirds of an inning during his MLB debut Saturday against the Mets, and he'll now head back to the minors. Sandridge has a 0.87 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB in nine appearances with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Taylor was on the bench Thursday after sustaining a left trap contusion a night earlier, but he returned to the lineup for the White Sox's first two games in Colorado, starting in left field and going 3-for-8 with a home run, a double and four RBI. Though the absence of Luis Robert (hamstring) leaves an everyday role available in the outfield, Taylor may have to share playing time in center with Brooks Baldwin, who will remain in the starting nine for a fourth straight contest.

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

Teel will rest for Sunday's day game after he went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run while catching all nine innings of Saturday's 10-3 win. Edgar Quero will spell Teel behind the plate.

Taylor (hand) recently had his brace removed and has begun participating in "light baseball activities," per MLB.com.

Taylor suffered a fractured left hand when he was hit by a pitch during a game in early June. The utility man seems unlikely to be ready to return until after the All-Star break, though the Angels haven't specified a timeline for his activation. Taylor will likely serve in a part-time role when he's ready to play again.

Hartlieb signed a major-league contract with the Yankees and was selected to the active roster Sunday.

The right-hander elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Yankees a few days ago, and he's quickly back on the MLB roster. Hartlieb allowed three earned runs over one inning during his lone appearance with New York and should fill a low-leverage relief role.

Dominguez (back) picked up his second save of the season in Sunday's 2-1 win over Atlanta, striking out two while allowing one earned run on two hits over one inning.

Dominguez wasn't available for either of the Orioles' previous two games due to a sore back, but interim manager Tony Mansolino was comfortable turning to the right-hander to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning Sunday with normal closer Felix Bautista being rested following appearances on both of the past two days. The save didn't come easily for Dominguez, who gave up a one-out solo home run to Sean Murphy before Ozzie Albies singled to put the tying run on base. However, Dominguez settled in thereafter, striking out Drake Baldwin and then inducing a weak grounder from Michael Harris to close out the contest. The 30-year-old Dominguez has posted a 3.31 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 35.1 innings this season while working primarily in a setup role.

Bader is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Bader will take a seat Sunday after starting the last four games and going 3-for-13 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk. The 31-year-old is a capable defensive outfielder, but his playing time may hinge on him providing more offense than infielder Brooks Lee, who appears to be his primary competition for the final spot in Minnesota's regular lineup. After coming off the bench in the previous two contests, Lee will rejoin the starting nine Sunday, handling second base while super-utility man Willi Castro shifts to left field.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Rojas started the previous three games but will head to the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 5-for-35 slump. Miguel Vargas will shift to the hot corner while Ryan Noda starts at first base in the series finale at Colorado.

Rogers (2-0) earned the win Sunday in Atlanta, allowing four hits and two walks over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Rogers gave up a leadoff infield single to Jurickson Profar to start the game before holding Atlanta without another hit until the sixth inning. It was another excellent outing for Rogers, who's allowed just two runs across 20 innings in his last two starts. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 1.57 with a 0.87 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB through his first five starts (28.2 innings) this season. Rogers is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Marlins, his former team, in his next outing.
