White Sox's Sammy Peralta: Claimed by White Sox
The White Sox claimed Peralta off waivers and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
After being designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday, Peralta returned to the White Sox organization Sunday, re-joining a team he started the season with. The 26-year-old left-hander will stay in the minors, where he has a 9.24 ERA and 1.97 WHIP across 12.2 innings in Triple-A.

James McCann C | ARI
Orioles' James McCann: Draws start Sunday
McCann will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
With Adley Rutschman getting a day off from catching duties and serving as the Orioles' designated hitter, McCann will settle in behind the plate. McCann has underwhelmed in his limited opportunities this season as the Orioles' No. 2 backstop, batting .211 with one home run over 76 plate appearances.

Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE
Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Idle versus lefty
Manzardo is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Angels.
The lefty-hitting Manzardo will take a seat Sunday due to the Angels sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound. Manzardo started in the first two games of the series, and his six-game hitting streak was snapped in Saturday's 4-3 win. Jose Ramirez will serve as the designated hitter Sunday, while Gabriel Arias draws the start at third base.

Jose Siri LF | LAA
Rays' Jose Siri: Picking up playing time sans Lowe
Siri will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Siri will draw his third straight start in center field and could end up re-emerging as the Rays' preferred option at the position after Josh Lowe (oblique) was placed on the injured list Saturday. Jonny DeLuca and Richie Palacios could still present threats to Siri's playing time in the outfield, but it'll be Palacios who finds himself as the odd man out of the starting nine Sunday.

Richard Palacios 2B | TB
Rays' Richie Palacios: Heading to bench Sunday
Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Palacios should have a clearer path to playing time in the outfield now that Josh Lowe (oblique) has returned to the injured list, though the Rays will typically have only two spots available for three players on a given day. Randy Arozarena appears to be the only player locked into an everyday role in the outfield, while Palacios has to compete with Jose Siri and Jonny DeLuca for the other two spots. Palacios finds himself as the odd man out of the lineup Sunday.

Jonathan Aranda 1B | TB
Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Resting Sunday
Aranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Aranda has gotten off to a decent start to his season since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list May 14, as he's slashed .242/.324/.394 with three extra-base hits, six runs and two RBI while appearing in 11 games (nine starts). He's seen some time at first base and second base, but Aranda will likely make most of his starts as a designated hitter moving forward. He'll get a breather Sunday, however, opening up the DH spot for Harold Ramirez.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Receiving rest Sunday
Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Lowe will get a maintenance day in the series finale after going 1-for-16 at the plate while starting in five games since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. Amed Rosario will spell him at second base.
-
Ben Rortvedt C | LAD
Rays' Ben Rortvedt: Getting rest Sunday
Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Rortvedt will get some routine maintenance for the day game after catching 11 innings of Saturday's 7-4 loss while going 1-for-3 at the dish. Alex Jackson will draw the start at catcher in his stead.
-
Hunter Renfroe RF | KC
Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Getting rest Sunday
Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
The veteran will get a breather for Sunday's day game after he went 1-for-6 with a double, three walks, three runs, an RBI and a stolen base while starting in right field in the first two games of the series. Nelson Velazquez will replace Renfroe in right field Sunday.
