Haniger will sit Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Rockies.

Haniger will take a seat after he went 1-for-5 with four strikeouts in the team's 2-1 extra-inning Game 1 loss Sunday. Luke Raley will draw the start in right field and bat seventh in the series finale.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader in Colorado.

Rojas will get a breather after he went 1-for-3 with a walk in the team's 2-1 extra-inning loss in Sunday's matinee. Luis Urias will replace him at the hot corner and bat eighth in the nightcap.

Clase is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Rockies.

Clase will take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Seattle's 2-1 extra-inning loss in Game 1 on Sunday. Dylan Moore will take over in left field and bat sixth in the nightcap.

Nastrini (0-2) allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits and five walks over three innings to take the loss Sunday against the Phillies. He struck out three.

Nastrini was given an early two-run lead but allowed three runs in the bottom of the first to immediately put the White Sox into an early hole. He then was pulled after loading the bases with no outs in the fourth while Tanner Banks entered to finish the damage, allowing all three inherited runs to score. Nastrini allowed only two runs over five in his first start to earn Sunday's opportunity, but a road matchup in Philly proved too much for the White Sox's No. 7 prospect. If Nastrini maintains his spot in the rotation, his next start is tentatively slated to come next weekend, when the Rays visit Chicago.

Stripling (0-5) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk across five innings against the Athletics. He struck out four.

Although Stripling yielded three or fewer runs for the third time in his last four starts, the A's weren't able to provide enough run support to put Stripling in contention for the win. The veteran righty has taken the loss in all five of his appearances this season -- a league-leading total -- and owns a 5.34 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 28.2 innings. Stripling is tentatively scheduled for a start against the Orioles on Friday.

Munoz (1-2) suffered a blown save and picked up the loss after he failed to record an out while allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits in Seattle's 2-1 extra-inning defeat to the Rockies in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Munoz was called upon to protect a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 10th inning, surrendering three consecutives singles and ultimately being tagged with the loss. The right-hander suffered his first blown save of the year while the runs given up were his first since April 5, ending a streak of four straight scoreless appearances. Munoz now owns a 3.68 ERA and 1.64 WHIP with 11 strikeouts over 7.1 innings while going 2-for-3 in save opportunities in eight appearances this season.

Kirby pitched five scoreless innings, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out seven in Seattle's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Rockies in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. He did not factor into the decision.

Kirby was able to follow up his quality start Monday with another strong outing Sunday, limiting Colorado to just six baserunners while his seven punchouts were his second highest total in a start this season. After a pair of clunkers, the right-hander allowed just two earned runs over 11 innings in his last two starts, dropping his ERA from 8.16 to 5.33 over 25.1 innings this season. Kirby is tentatively set to return to the mound Saturday for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored during Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Pirates

Abreu's three-hit day represented his second such effort in three days, as he posted multiple RBI for the first time this season. Abreu entered the series with PIttsburgh hitting just .184 but reached base 10 times, going 7-for-12 with three walks, a homer, two doubles, four RBI and three runs scored during the weekend set to raise his average to .280 with a .390 on-base percentage.

Winckowski didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates, allowing one run on three hits over 3.1 innings while striking out one.

Winckowski made his first start of the season in place of Garrett Whitlock (oblique), tossing a season-high 3.1 innings while limiting the Pirates to one run. After tossing no more than 28 pitches over his three previous outings, Winckowski was pulled after 46 pitches Sunday. The 25-year-old righty will get a chance to stretch out his arm more, with Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe noting that Winckowski will stick around in the rotation. His next start is expected to come next weekend, when the Red Sox welcome the Cubs to Fenway Park.

Siri was unavailable for Sunday's loss to the Yankees due to kidney stones, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 27-year-old started the first 20 games of the season, and the kidney stones help explain his absence from the lineup for two of the past three games. Siri will fly back to Tampa Bay with the team and should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the White Sox.
