O'Hoppe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Guardians.

O'Hoppe will rest Sunday after starting in the first two games of the series, going 3-for-8 with one home run and two RBI. The lefty-hitting Matt Thaiss will start behind home plate and bat eighth against Cleveland right-hander Ben Lively.

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

He'll join fellow left-handed hitters Bo Naylor, Kyle Manzardo and Estevan Florial on the bench while the Angels bring southpaw Reid Detmers to the bump. Johnathan Rodriguez will start in right field in Brennan's stead.

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

The lefty-hitting Naylor will get the afternoon off while the Guardians oppose southpaw Reid Detmers in the series finale. Austin Hedges will spell Naylor behind the plate.

Sano will have his rehab program delayed after burning himself with a heating pad, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Angels manager Ron Washington noted Sunday that it's not considered a serious injury, but Sano will be held out of rehab games for a couple of days, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Sano has two rehab appearances with the Arizona Complex League Angels, going 2-for-5 with two RBI. He was placed on the 10-day injured list May 1 due to left knee inflammation.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Berti was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a high-grade left calf strain, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Boone didn't provide a timeline for Berti, though the 34-year-old will remain on the IL well beyond the 10-day minimum. Berti sustained the injury in an 8-0 win over the Padres on Friday, when he collapsed to the ground after running out of the batter's box in the ninth inning. Kevin Smith was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre on Saturday and should provide infield depth while Berti is on the shelf.

Miranda will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Willi Castro looked as though he would settle in as the Twins' primary third baseman after Byron Buxton returned from the injured list around the middle of May, but Minnesota has instead kept Castro in the regular lineup by moving him all over the outfield. As a result, Miranda has gained traction at the hot corner of late; Sunday will mark his ninth consecutive start at the position. Miranda has earned the playing time by producing a .986 OPS over his last eight starts, but he could nonetheless see his opportunities decrease by the end of next week, when Royce Lewis (quadricep) could be back from the IL.

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

Jeffers will get a breather for the day game after he caught all nine innings of Saturday's 5-3 win while going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and an RBI. Christian Vazquez draws the starting nod behind the dish.

Julks will start in left field and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Julks will pick up his third consecutive start and looks like he'll have a path to a regular spot in the lineup while Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is on the injured list. Since being acquired from the Astros on May 15 and getting recalled from Triple-A two days later, Julks has gone 6-for-18 with a home run, two doubles, five walks, five RBI and two runs in seven games with Chicago.

Mendick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Mendick looks to have moved back into a utility role following Bryan Ramos' return from the 10-day injured list Saturday. Ramos will pick up a second straight start at the hot corner while Mendick once again hits the bench.

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

The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will check out of the lineup with the White Sox bringing southpaw Garrett Crochet to the hill for the series finale. Adley Rutschman will get a day off from catching duties and will serve as Baltimore's designated hitter in place of O'Hearn.
