Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

After drawing starts behind the plate the past three games while going 1-for-5 with a double, two walks and two runs, Feduccia will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Nick Fortes will receive the nod at catcher and bat eighth.

Gelof (head) is starting at second base and batting leadoff Sunday against the Angels.

Gelof was held out of Saturday's starting nine after being hit by a pitch in the ear flap of his helmet Friday, but he'll rejoin the lineup after sitting out just one game. The 26-year-old will look to extend his 23-game hit streak, during which he's batting .348 (31-for-89) with six doubles, five homers, two steals, 12 RBI and 16 runs.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Langeliers started the previous six contests but will hit the bench Sunday after going 4-for-25 (.160 average) with a double, a homer, four RBI and three runs. Jonah Heim will step in behind the plate for the series finale versus the Halos.

The Rangers placed Leiter on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right ankle posterior impingement.

While Leiter hasn't been forced to miss any turns through the rotation as a result of the ankle injury, he's been pitching through the issue for most of the season, and his conditioned worsened when he slipped on the field during an April 22 start, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Pitching through the ankle concern could be a factor in why the 26-year-old righty hasn't taken the step forward this season that both the Rangers and fantasy managers were counting on, as he's turned in a 5.29 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 80 innings over his first 15 starts. Texas recalled Jose Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock to take over Leiter's spot on the 26-man active roster, but it's not immediately clear who will replace Leiter in the rotation.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Hoskins started the previous nine games and will receive a day off after batting .111 (4-for-36) with two doubles, a homer and 15 strikeouts during that stretch. Despite that poor form, the veteran slugger seems likely to see his fair share of opportunities while Chase DeLauter (ribs), Angel Martinez (foot) and Jose Ramirez (hand) are all on the IL.

Clement (hip) had been slated to start at shortstop and bat sixth Sunday against the Cubs before the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Chicago.

Clement was held out of the starting nine the previous two games due to left hip soreness, but the injury doesn't look as though it will be a concern for the infielder heading into a seven-game week. Clement made an appearance off the bench in Saturday's 8-6 win, playing three innings at shortstop while going 0-for-2.

Cease won't start as scheduled Sunday against the Cubs after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Chicago, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

The two teams will make up the game Aug. 6. As a result of the postponement, the Blue Jays will presumably push their full rotation back a day, putting Cease on track to start Monday's series opener versus the Astros in Toronto. Cease has been sharp over his first two starts of June, posting an 0.82 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB over 11 innings.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Guardians, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Diaz started the first two games of the series but will hit the bench for the finale after going 2-for-7 with a double, an RBI and three strikeouts. Christian Vazquez will step in behind the plate and bat ninth Sunday.

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

Meyers started the previous three games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-19 with a walk, a double, an RBI, a run and four strikeouts during that span. Joey Loperfido is manning center field while Yordan Alvarez handles left in the series finale versus Cleveland.

Seigler started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Mariners.

Seigler, who had been traveling with the team for its six-game road trip, was officially recalled from Triple-A Worcester earlier in the day and added to the starting lineup. He should be part of the mix at second base along with Andruw Monasterio while Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) is on the 10-day injured list.
