Whitlock walked one over a scoreless eighth inning in Saturday's 7-6 win over Atlanta.

Whitlock had been brutal of late, entering the contest with a 10.80 ERA and four blown saves over his previous five outings. While he did issue a walk and allow a hard-hit flyout, it was an encouraging performance for the right-hander.

Castro (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Castro after he fouled a ball off his knee during Friday's contest. The utility man was diagnosed with a bruise and is considered day-to-day. Kody Clemens is manning the keystone Sunday while Brooks Lee starts at shortstop in place of Carlos Correa (concussion).

Haggerty started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over Houston.

Haggerty was a late addition to the starting lineup after Evan Carter (quad) was scratched, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Carter's removal was precautionary, but he's not expected to play Sunday. Haggerty is expected to fill in as the primary center fielder until Carter is healthy.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

The 26-year-old appears to have taken hold of the starting gig behind the plate in Boston, as he has a .991 OPS through 11 games in May and had started four straight games coming into Sunday. Connor Wong will catch for Brayan Bello in the series finale versus Atlanta.

Campbell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Campbell has just one hit in his past 26 at-bats and has a .085 average (4-for-47) and 31.3 percent strikeout rate through 12 games in May, so he'll get a breather for Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta. David Hamilton will step in at the keystone and bat eighth for Boston.

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

Pena has played every inning of all 45 games for the Astros in 2025, so he's getting a well-deserved day off after going 0-for-7 with two walks and a run in the first two games of the series at Texas. Mauricio Dubon will take over at shortstop while Isaac Paredes moves up to the leadoff spot.

Martin (elbow) threw a scoreless inning in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Martin recently dealt with elbow tightness and hadn't pitched since Tuesday, but imaging came back negative. With closer Luke Jackson (hand) still dealing with an injury, Martin could snag save opportunities in the short term.

The Twins selected McCusker's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The 26-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors Sunday after Byron Buxton (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Saturday. McCusker has a .350/.412/.650 slash line with 10 homers through 38 games for St. Paul this year, and he could see some action while up with the Twins given the club's injury situation.

The Orioles recalled Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

The 26-year-old was demoted to Norfolk on Wednesday but will quickly return to Baltimore with Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) headed to the injured list. Carlson has gone 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts while appearing in just 10 games for Baltimore this season. He'll provide some outfield depth but isn't likely to have a regular spot in the lineup even while O'Neill is sidelined.

The Orioles placed O'Neill on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left shoulder impingement, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

O'Neill was scratched from the lineup for Friday's series opener versus Washington and will now be sidelined for at least the next week due to the shoulder issue. The injury doesn't seem to be a serious concern, but it's already the second time this season the oft-injured outfielder has ended up on the shelf. Dylan Carlson was called up to provide outfield depth for Baltimore, which is likely to rely on Heston Kjerstad more while O'Neill is out.
