Gamel (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

After exiting Saturday's 5-3 win in the sixth inning with a left knee contusion, Gamel will get at least one day off to rest the injury. Jason Heyward will take Gamel's spot in the outfield, manning left field while batting seventh in the series finale in Anaheim.

Meyers (ankle) is starting in center field and batting eighth Sunday against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The outfielder tweaked his ankle during the final frame of Saturday's contest, but he's still in the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Anaheim. Meyers has gone 3-for-25 with a double and a stolen base through nine games in September.

Singleton was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to an illness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Victor Caratini will step in at first base and bat fifth in place of Singleton, who will wind up hitting the bench for a third straight game after going 3-for-4 with two doubles in his last start Thursday versus the Athletics. The lefty-hitting Singleton should see the bulk of the starts at first base against right-handed pitching over the final two weeks of the season.

Bregman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Bregman will receive a day off after a run of seven straight starts, during which he went 6-for-30 with two homers, six RBI and five runs. Mauricio Dubon will receive a look at the hot corner while batting ninth.

Suarez will move into the Angels' starting rotation after Sam Aldegheri (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The left-hander had his contract selected by the Angels on Sept. 9 and had made two appearances out of the bullpen. He's on the same pitching schedule as Aldegheri, as Suarez struck out five over four scoreless innings of relief in Friday's loss to Houston after the former lasted just two innings. Suarez owns a 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 46:23 K:BB in 42.1 innings over 20 appearances (one start) with the big club this season.

Povich (2-9) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings against the Tigers. He struck out eight.

Povich allowed a third-inning homer by Riley Greene that represented the only two runs allowed by the Orioles' righty. Otherwise, Povich pitched well, rebounding from allowing four runs in 4.2 during his last start by fanning eight while allowing only four baserunners prior to being pulled after five having thrown 89 pitches. It's the fifth time through 14 starts that Povich has allowed two or fewer runs while tossing at least five innings. He's slated to get another shot against the Tigers in his next start, this time within the friendly confines of Camden Yards.

The Angels selected Campero's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Campero has spent most of the season at Double-A Rocket City, where he posted an .888 OPS with 14 home runs and 29 steals in 93 games before earning a promotion to Salt Lake in August. The 26-year-old isn't likely to have a regular role with Anaheim, but he could still see some opportunities during the final two weeks of the regular season. He caught 34 games in the minors in 2023, but he's played exclusively in the corner outfield or at designated hitter in 2024.

The Angels reinstated Fulmer (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, and he'll shift to a relief role, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The right-hander was operating as a starter when he landed on the IL with elbow inflammation in late August, but he'll shift to a relief role now that he's recovered from the injury. Fulmer is returning to the active roster without a rehab assignment, so the move to relief is likely allowing him to more quickly rejoin the Angels.

Montero (6-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing five hits and one walk over five scoreless innings against the Orioles. He struck out one.

Montero did not allow a run for the second game in a row, with the biggest threat coming when he worked around a one-out second and third situation in the third inning. The 24-year-old rookie was pulled following just 63 pitches through five innings after coming off a complete-game shutout of the Rockies in his last start. Montero's ERA has dropped nearly a full run thanks to his most recent performances, moving from 5.47 to 4.60 with a 1.27 WHIP and 66 strikeouts through 88 innings. He's next slated to get another shot at the Orioles, this time in Baltimore.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Raleigh's absence from the lineup ends a run of 19 straight starts, during which he posted a .229/.341/.400 slash line with three homers, 15 RBI and 10 runs. Mitch Garver will step in behind the plate to catch for right-hander George Kirby.
