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.

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

Lee will retreat to the bench for the series finale after he went 3-for-13 with a double, an RBI and a run while starting at second base over the past four games. The Tigers will go with Zach McKinstry at the keystone Sunday, but McKinstry can be moved around to other spots on the diamond or in the corner outfield if manager A.J. Hinch is keen on keeping Lee in the lineup on a regular basis while Gleyber Torres (oblique) is on the shelf.

Gonzalez (shoulder) was removed from Double-A Portland's game Saturday after four innings with soreness in his left hip flexor, Josh Kirshenbaum of MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez, who is rehabbing from a left shoulder arthroscopic debridement procedure in early March, was pulled from his rehab assignment and sent back to Boston for testing. He'll remain in Boston over the weekend and be reevaluated Monday. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy believes it's not a major issue, and the team is optimistic that the infielder could be activated at some point during a seven-game homestand that begins Thursday.

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

Vierling had covered center field in each of the last three games, but he'll give way to James Outman in the series finale. Though Vierling will likely be prioritized in the lineup ahead of Outman against left-handed pitching, manager A.J. Hinch could lean on the hotter bat among the two players when the Tigers face righties. Since the start of June, Vierling has produced a lowly .143/.162/.314 slash line.

Burger went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Padres. He was also hit by a pitch.

Burger gave the Rangers a 3-1 lead in the seventh inning with his 13th of the season. That extended a seven-game hit streak for the first baseman, who is a modest 7-for-26 (.269) during that stretch with four extra-base hits, including two HR, and five RBI. He got hit on the right hand in the ninth and was in obvious pain, according to Matt Postins of SI.com, but Burger was cleared by team trainers and finished the contest at first base.

Kelenic started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to San Diego.

Kelenic started his first game for the Rangers, who selected his contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. With two everyday spots in the outfield locked down (Wyatt Langford and Brandon Nimmo), Kelenic joins a group that includes Alejandro Osuna and Cody Freeman vying for the at-bats that had previously belonged to Evan Carter (oblique). Kelenic, who signed with the organization earlier this month, slashed .340/.431/.620 with three home runs, 11 RBI, three steals and 12 runs over 59 plate appearances at Round Rock before getting back to the majors.

Garcia (hand) will start at shortstop and bat second in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

A left hand strain had kept Garcia out of the lineup for the Royals' previous three games, but the extra rest plus a team off day Saturday appears to have provided enough time for him to move past the issue. Though he had made all of his starts to date at third base or designated hitter, Garcia will cover shortstop Sunday while Bobby Witt (knee) misses a second straight game.

Witt (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

A team off day Saturday didn't provide sufficient time for Witt to fully heal from a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee, prompting the Royals to keep him on the bench for a second straight game. Maikel Garcia will step in at shortstop in place of Witt, who will be re-evaluated Sunday and could still avoid a stint on the injured list.

Watson went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 8-1 win over Houston.

Watson started a third consecutive game in right field but has yet to reach base safely while striking out seven times in 10 plate appearances. Despite appearing to be overmatched in his first tour of MLB, the left-handed batter could continue to get regular work while the Guardians cope with a recent spate of injuries, including outfielders Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot).

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The 38-year-old will get a breather after he had started at first base or designated hitter in every contest dating back to May 20. Goldschmidt has enjoyed a resurgent 2026 campaign, with his .901 OPS placing him behind only Ben Rice and Aaron Judge (rib) among all Yankees players.
