The Royals reinstated Strahm (knee) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

The left-hander has been sidelined the past couple weeks due to knee inflammation, but he received an injection to address the injury and is now ready to rejoin the active roster. Strahm has a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings while recording eight holds through 17 appearances this year.

Sanchez was removed from Sunday's game against the Orioles after being struck in the wrist by a ball that appeared to be thrown by a fan in the stands, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Sanchez appeared to be talking with someone in the right field seats during a sixth-inning mound visit and was subsequently struck by a ball in the area of his wrist, forcing him to leave the game. The specifics of the injury aren't yet clear. Sanchez was replaced in right field by Yohendrick Pinango.

The Tigers optioned Workman to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Workman ended up being the roster casualty when Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday. After being called up from Triple-A on May 10, Workman appeared in 16 games for Detroit but slashed just .158/.158/.553 with a 42.1 percent strikeout rate over 38 plate appearances.

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

The left-handed-hitting Meckler had started in each of the Halos' last five games but will head to the bench for the series finale while the Rays send southpaw Shane McClanahan to the bump. Jose Siri will replace Meckler in left field and will bat seventh.

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

The left-handed hitter had started four of the previous five games but will head to the bench against southpaw Shane McClanahan. Nick Madrigal will check in for Walton at third base and bat ninth.

Neto (neck) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rays.

The 25-year-old is back in action after he was removed from Saturday's 14-3 win when he experienced whiplash following a collision at home plate with Ian Seymour in the seventh inning. Neto enters Sunday having gone 7-for-19 with three doubles, four walks, one stolen base, six runs and three RBI over his last five games.

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

The absence ends a run of 24 consecutive starts for Dingler, who posted a .191/.194/.416 slash line with five doubles, five homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs during that span. Jake Rogers will step in behind the plate Sunday while Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) serves as the DH in his return from the injured list.

Shewmake (groin) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Shewmake exited Saturday's contest due to groin soreness and will sit for at least one game. Nick Allen is picking up a start at second base for Houston in the series finale.

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

Paredes has mostly operated as a starter for St. Paul with 10 starts in 13 appearances this season, and he could step into Minnesota's open rotation spot if he's not needed in long relief the next few days. The 25-year-old turned in a 4.44 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 54:9 K:BB across 48.2 innings at Triple-A.

The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The right-hander was optioned to St. Paul after Thursday's loss to the White Sox but will quickly return to the big-league roster with Bailey Ober (elbow) headed to the injured list. Adams has struggled in seven MLB appearances this year, posting a 7.20 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB over 10 innings.
