Coloumbe will serve as the Twins' opening pitcher Sunday against the Brewers, Audra Martin of Fanduel Sports Network North reports.

The left-hander will make the second start of his MLB career and first since 2021. Coulombe has been effective in a high-leverage role this season with two saves, two holds and a 0.46 ERA over 19.2 innings, but he'll given Minnesota an inning or two as an opener Sunday before turning the game over to the bullpen. David Festa was previously penciled in to start Sunday and could follow Coulombe in a bulk role.

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

After going 3-for-9 with a double, four RBI and a run while starting the first two games of the series, Walls will get a breather. Jose Caballero will step in at shortstop.

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

Misner typically starts against right-handed pitchers like Casey Mize, but he'll cede his spot in the outfield to Christopher Morel in the series finale. With a .167/.205/.262 slash line since the beginning of June, Misner is at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Durham.

Langford (back) will start in center field and bat second Sunday against the Pirates.

Langford sat out the previous two games due to back stiffness but will return to action for Sunday's series finale in Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old started off June by going 3-for-19 in his first five games, but he has an .831 OPS with four extra-base hits in his past 10 contests.

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

Jansen will get a breather for the matinee contest after he started behind the plate in three of the Rays' previous four games. Matt Thaiss will handle catching duties for Tampa Bay in the series finale.

Wright (shoulder) allowed four earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters over three innings in his rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Omaha.

Wright made his eighth rehab appearance Saturday, and his sixth since resuming activity following a pause due to shoulder fatigue. After tossing four scoreless innings in his previous outing with Omaha last Sunday, the right-hander struggled this time out, battling command issues and surrendering a home run. With his 30-day rehab window set to expire Tuesday, Kansas City will have to activate him soon. However, Wright hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023 with Atlanta, lacks a clear path to a rotation spot and hasn't thrown more than four innings in any rehab outing, all of which suggests that he's ticketed for a long-relief role with the Royals if he isn't optioned to Triple-A once he's reinstated from the 15-day injured list.

Anthony went 1-for-4 with two walks, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco.

Anthony kicked off a two-run rally in the ninth inning with his double, but he's managed just four hits through the first 11 games of his MLB career and is batting just .121. That shouldn't be too alarming, as big-league history is littered with prospects of all stripes that have struggled when they first reach the majors. The positive sign is that he remains patient, working three walks over the last two games and not chasing (19.0 percent chase rate). Statcast pegs Anthony with a .243 expected batting average instead, based on a hard-hit rate of 45.8 percent.

Urias will start at third base and bat second in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Urias will pick up his fourth consecutive start, but after slotting anywhere from fourth to ninth in the batting order the previous three contests, he'll move into the two hole with Jordan Westburg (finger) out of the lineup. Westburg is expected to be out of action for a few days after spraining his index finger Saturday, so Urias will most likely remain in the starting nine at third base for Monday's series opener versus the Rangers.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Maverick Handley will get the nod behind the plate Sunday, but Sanchez started the previous two contests and is poised to serve as the Orioles' top backstop for the next few weeks with Adley Rutschman (oblique) out through the All-Star break. Sanchez has turned in a .213/.296/.340 slash line with two home runs and 11 RBI in 54 plate appearances on the season, and while that level of production hasn't been impressive, the absence of Rutschman puts Sanchez on the radar as a pickup in fantasy leagues that require two catchers.

Eaton entered Saturday's game as a pinch runner in the ninth inning and stole a base in a 3-2 loss to the Giants.

Eaton ran for Wilyer Abreu in the ninth and inadvertently triggered a run to score, as a throwing error on his steal resulted in Trevor Story scampering home. This was Eaton's second appearance since being recalled from Triple-A Worcester last Sunday.
