Kavadas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Astros, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The Astros are sending righty Spencer Arrighetti to the bump, but the left-handed-hitting Kavadas will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. It's the first time since Sept. 1 that Kavadas will be absent from the lineup against a right-hander. Logan O'Hoppe is getting a start at designated hitter for the Angels while Matt Thaiss does the catching.

Adams (knee) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Houston, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

It's the third straight game he's missed due to right knee soreness. The Angels are idle Monday, so Adams will hope to be back in action Tuesday against the White Sox. Gustavo Campero will play right field and bat eighth Sunday.

Schanuel is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest in Houston, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

It looks to be a routine day of rest for Schanuel, who had started each of the previous 12 games. Brandon Drury will occupy first base for the Angels in the series finale.

Manzardo is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

The lefty-hitting designated hitter will head to the bench, even with righty Andre Pallante on the hill for St. Louis. Manzardo went 0-for-5 with a walk and two strikeouts in the first two games of the series. Jose Ramirez is starting at DH while Angel Martinez gets the nod at third base.

Naylor is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Naylor drew the start in the first two games of this weekend's series, going 2-for-8 with a solo home run and another run scored. Austin Hedges will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Thomas is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Thomas is batting .293 with six home runs and one steal in 20 games this month. Myles Straw is drawing the start in center field and batting eighth against righty Andre Pallante.

Gimenez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Gimenez is 8-for-16 with one home run, two doubles and a steal in his last four games. Daniel Schneemann will start at the keystone and bat second against righty Andre Pallante.

Baldwin (wrist) could resume on-field hitting this week but is unsure he'll make it back before the end of the season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The right wrist sprain that sent Baldwin to the 10-day injured list earlier this month has improved, but he might run out of time before he's ready to return to the White Sox's active roster. The rookie infielder has slashed .211/.250/.316 in 33 games for Chicago this season.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said prior to Sunday's doubleheader with the Twins that O'Neill is dealing with some minor back tightness, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

O'Neill is not in the lineup for the first game of the twin bill, though Cora didn't rule him out for the nightcap. Consider O'Neill day-to-day for the time being.

LeMahieu (hip) has been doing some baseball activities, including hitting off a tee, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

LeMahieu landed on the injured list Sept. 9 due to a right hip impingement. The veteran infielder hasn't been ruled out from returning before the end of the regular season, though it's unclear how close he may be to being ready to play in games. LeMahieu will likely take on a bench role if he's able to play again this season, as the Yankees are set across the infield and have Giancarlo Stanton locked in as the everyday DH.
