The Rangers recalled Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

The right-hander will get a look with the Rangers for the first time this season after struggling to a 6.08 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 26.2 innings with Round Rock. Corniell has primarily worked as a starter at Triple-A, but it's not yet clear if he's seen as a candidate to replace Jack Leiter (ankle) in the rotation.

Holliday (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Holliday will miss out at least one start after he was lifted in the eighth inning of Saturday's 3-2 win due to groin tightness, though he said that he's not overly concerned about the injury and thinks that he could play off the bench Sunday if needed, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Jeremiah Jackson came on the replace him Saturday and will draw the start at second base in Holliday's stead in the series finale.

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

The left-handed hitter will hit the bench for the second time in the series, as the Nationals send southpaw Andrew Alvarez to the hill Sunday. Mesa could struggle to find consistent playing time versus righties as well, after the Rays brought Jonny DeLuca back from the injured list Friday. Despite logging just nine of his 55 plate appearances against same-handed pitching since his May 24 call-up from Triple-A Durham, Mesa is slashing a meager .174/.296/.304 with two home runs, sevens runs and five RBI.

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

The left-handed-hitting Mullins will take a seat for the series finale while the Nationals send southpaw Andrew Alvarez to the bump. Jonny DeLuca will replace Mullins in center field and will bat second.

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

With left-hander Andrew Alvarez on the bump for the Nationals, Palacios will give way to platoon mate Ben Williamson at second base in the series finale. Palacios has logged just 26 plate appearances versus lefties on the season, slashing .250/.308/.333 in those matchups.

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.
