Meyers is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Meyes has a .356 OPS in his past 11 contests and will sit for the second time in three games since returning from the paternity list. Chas McCormick will receive the start in center field and bat ninth in the series finale versus Arizona.

The Guardians selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The left-hander elected free agency after being designated for assignment by Cleveland in late August, though he re-signed on a minor-league deal a few days later. Gose has pitched in just two big-league games this season but has a 3.27 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 58:26 K:BB across 41.1 innings at Triple-A.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Martin was unavailable Sunday against the White Sox since the reliever was feeling under the weather, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

It's unclear when the ailment first surfaced for Martin, but he hasn't pitched since he gave up four runs to the Mets on Wednesday. The 38-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the Orioles.

Bido is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The right-hander threw 40 pitches over two scoreless innings out of the bullpen Saturday against Detroit, but he'll move back into the rotation on two days' rest for the series opener in Houston on Tuesday. Bido has a 2.23 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 36.1 frames in his past seven appearances.

Castillo was removed from Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a left hamstring strain, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

The right-hander had a good chance to pick up a win Sunday as Seattle scored seven runs across the first two frames, but Castillo was lifted due to the hamstring injury after giving up two runs across three innings. The severity of the issue isn't known, and it's unclear if the 31-year-old will be able to make his next turn through the rotation next weekend versus the Rangers.

Brennan will start in left field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Though he'll fill in atop the batting order for a resting Steven Kwan on Sunday, Brennan's time as a strong-side platoon player for the Guardians could be over. He had been on the bench for four of the Guardians' previous six matchups with right-handed pitching, with rookie Kyle Manzardo and Lane Thomas seemingly have overtaken Brennan as the team's preferred options at designated hitter and in right field, respectively.

Noel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Noel has opened September by going 2-for-14 with five strikeouts and no walks, and his downward-trending performance at the dish appears to have cost him a regular spot in the Cleveland lineup. He'll hit the bench Sunday for the fourth time in five contests, with each of those absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers.

Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Though Manzardo is on the bench for the second game in a row, he ended up recording a double over two at-bats in Saturday's 7-2 loss. The Guardians may be looking to give Manzardo a proper rest day Sunday, with Jose Ramirez getting a day out of the infield and replacing the rookie as Cleveland's designated hitter.

Kwan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Kwan will hit the bench after starting 28 straight games, and he posted a .145/.254/.218 slash line over 110 at-bats during that stretch. Will Brennan will take over in left field and atop the lineup for the series finale in Los Angeles.

Gray will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The lefty-hitting Gray has now picked up starts in five consecutive matchups with right-handed starters or primary pitchers and looks to have displaced Daz Cameron for a regular spot in the Oakland lineup. Since his Sept. 1 call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas, Gray has gone 3-for-17 with a double and three walks.
