The Yankees outrighted De La Cruz to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

De La Cruz will remain with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after slashing .251/.323/.438 with 10 home runs and six steals in 55 games before the Yankees designated him for assignment Thursday. Before landing with the Yankees in May via a waiver claim, the outfielder struggled to a .191/.240/.213 slash line with Atlanta over 50 plate appearances in the majors.

The White Sox claimed Hudson off waivers from the Brewers and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

The left-hander was designated for assignment by Milwaukee on Thursday but was quickly able to find a home on another organization's 40-man roster. Hudson was a key bullpen piece in 2024 with a 1.73 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB across 62.1 innings, but he had a 4.35 ERA in 12 big-league appearances and struggled to a 6.84 ERA at the Triple-A level so far in 2025.

Urias was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics after one inning due to lower back spasms, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Urias started at second base and played the opening frame before Gio Urshela came off the bench to replace him in the top of the second. The 28-year-old's turn in the batting order didn't come up before he was pulled from the game, so the back injury presumably cropped up while he was playing defense. The Athletics are off Monday, so Urias will have some extra time to recover before the team opens a three-game series in Washington on Tuesday.

Tellez will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Tellez will crack the lineup for a fourth straight game, as the Rangers are reopening a regular role for him against right-handed pitching with Josh Jung (calf) having been on the bench for each of those contests. If Jung is able to avoid a stint on the injured list or if Jake Burger (quadriceps) is activated in the coming days, Tellez could be squeezed out of a regular lineup spot before long.

Rojas will start at second base and will bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Angels.

He will cover second base Sunday while Chase Meidroth (thumb) is on the bench for the third game in a row, but Rojas could be in store for regular playing time at third base once Meidroth rejoins the lineup. Rojas had started in each of the previous three contests, going 2-for-10 with a solo home run, a double and a walk.

Meidroth (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Meidroth will miss out on a third consecutive start while he continues to tend to a bruised right thumb after being hit by a pitch Wednesday. Josh Rojas will spell Meidroth at second base and will bat ninth Sunday.

Hernaiz will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With Jacob Wilson (forearm) stuck on the injured list, Hernaiz appears to have taken over as the Athletics' primary shortstop. He'll collect his fifth straight start Sunday after going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over the previous four contests.

Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

After starting in each of the last five games while the Athletics faced off against right-handed pitchers, the lefty-swinging Soderstrom will hit the bench Sunday versus Diamondbacks southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez. JJ Bleday will cover left field in the series finale while Soderstrom rests.

Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The left-handed-hitting Cortes had started in each of the Athletics' last five games, but he'll take a seat Sunday while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill. Brent Rooker will cover right field Sunday, but Cortes should hold down a regular spot in the Athletics outfield against right-handed pitching until Denzel Clarke (hip) returns from the injured list.

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

Campero will head to the bench after he had started in right field in each of the last six games while going 4-for-17 with a home run, three stolen bases and four RBI. With Mike Trout (illness) back in the lineup after a two-game absence and occupying the designated-hitter spot, the Angels won't have room in the starting nine for Campero while Taylor Ward, Bryce Teodosio and Jo Adell make up the Los Angeles outfield from left to right.
