Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls was recently left out of the lineup for four straight games while he dealt with a couple of hyperextended fingers on his left hand, but he was able to start in each of the Rays' ensuing five contests. However, after going 0-for-13 with a walk and five strikeouts during that stretch, Walls will take a seat for the series finale and will get a chance to clear his head. Ben Williamson will replace Walls at shortstop and will bat seventh.

McCarthy went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a double Saturday against the Royals.

McCarthy helped jumpstart two rallies for the Rockies, doubling in the fourth inning before leading off the eighth inning with a single. He came around to score on each occasion, and he now has nine runs scored across 13 games since the All-Star break. McCarthy has already set career-high marks in home runs (11) and RBI (62), and his 17 stolen bases leave him on the cusp of the fourth 20-steal campaign of his career.

Mesa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench for the series finale while southpaw Anthony Kay toes the rubber for the White Sox. Jonny DeLuca will replace Mesa in right field and bat sixth.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed hitter will be on the bench for a second straight day, as White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay takes the mound after lefty Noah Schultz worked in bulk relief Saturday. Ryan Vilade will cover the keystone Sunday in place of Palacios.

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed hitter will be on the bench for a second straight day, as White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay takes the mound after lefty Noah Schultz worked in bulk relief Saturday. Nick Fortes will get another turn behind the dish over Feduccia on Sunday.

Castro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored Saturday against the Royals.

Castro popped a home run in the fifth inning, his 12th of the season and third in his last four starts. The 12 long balls matches his career high, which he previously set in 2024 across 635 plate appearances. Castro continues to put together a solid season, racking up 50 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 94 contests.

Perez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 12-6 loss to the Rockies.

Perez followed Jac Caglianone's two-run homer with a solo shot in the third inning as the Royals went back-to-back to build an early 4-0 lead they ultimately couldn't hold. The veteran catcher appears to be in the twilight of his Hall of Fame career, as his .638 OPS through 104 games would represent a career worst, but he's shown signs of turning things around of late. Since July 1, Perez is slashing .264/.333/.538 with six homers, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored across 24 contests.

Sogard started at first base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

Sogard filled in for the injured Willson Contreras, who is in the concussion protocol. Sogard's stint at first is expected to be a short one, as Boston interim manager Chad Tracy told Tim Healy of The Boston Globe that Contreras is expected to play Sunday barring a setback.

The Twins transferred Paredes (oblique) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.

Shortly after his initial placement on the IL, Paredes was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, per MLB.com. After shifting to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man roster spot for the newly acquired Dean Kremer, Paredes won't be eligible to rejoin Minnesota until Sept. 21.

Karros went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Royals.

Karros began a four-run rally for Colorado in the third inning with a bases-loaded double. He's begun the Rockies' current homestand hitting well, going 4-for-8 with two RBI and three runs scored across two games. He's maintained a .300 batting average with four homers, 14 RBI and 16 runs scored across 23 games since the start of July.
