O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

O'Hoppe has gone 3-for-11 with a run scored in the first three games of the season, but he's also struck out five times and committed three errors. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Jack Kochanowicz.

Acuna is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

The 24-year-old picked up starts in center field and shortstop in the first two games of the season, going 1-for-7 at the dish. With former Mets teammate Brandon Sproat on the mound for Milwaukee, Acuna will cede his spot in the lineup Sunday to Tristan Peters, who will draw the start in center field and bat ninth.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Despite slugging a team-high 22 home runs in 2025, Sosa's path to an everyday role got cloudier over the winter following the additions of Munetaka Murakami and Austin Hays. The White Sox have opened the season with matchups against three straight right-handed starting pitchers, and Sosa has been on the bench to begin two of those games, going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts when he has gotten into the lineup.

The Angels optioned Urena to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

The 22-year-old cracked the Halos' Opening Day roster and recorded two outs without allowing a run Opening Day, but he surrendered six runs (all unearned) on four hits and two walks to take the loss Saturday against the Astros. Urena should get another look with the Angels later this season, but for now Shaun Anderson will take his roster spot to round out the bullpen. Manager Kurt Suzuki confirmed that Urena will get stretched back out as a starter in the minors as a member of Salt Lake's rotation, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

The Angels selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

The right-hander re-signed with the Angels on a minor-league contract in January, and it didn't take long for him to make it to the majors this season. Anderson struggled in seven big-league appearances last year, giving up 13 earned runs with an 11:3 K:BB over 11.1 innings.

Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Pauley has hit the bench for two of the Marlins' first three games, with both of his absences coming against southpaws. The 25-year-old could eventually find himself in a platoon at third base with Connor Norby, but the Marlins should have plenty of playing time available for both players while Christopher Morel (oblique) and Kyle Stowers (hamstring) are on the shelf.

Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The 26-year-old was included in the lineup Saturday when Colorado sent right-hander Michael Lorenzen to the mound, but he's been on the bench for matchups against southpaws Kyle Freeland and Jose Quintana. Hicks should have a fairly clear path to playing time versus righties while Christopher Morel (oblique) and Kyle Stowers (hamstring) are on the injured list, but at-bats could be more difficult to come by once the Marlins get healthier.

Conine is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The left-handed-hitting Conine went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's contest, but he'll hit the bench Sunday with southpaw Jose Quintana taking the mound for Colorado. Connor Norby will serve as the designated hitter in the series finale, opening up first base for the newly promoted Deyvison De Los Santos.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Julien served as the Rockies' designated hitter in the first two games of the season, going 1-for-5 with a double. Though he should have a fairly clear path to at-bats while Mickey Moniak (finger) is on the shelf, Julien will be the odd man out of the lineup Sunday. Hunter Goodman will get a day off from catching but stick in the starting nine at DH.

Caissie is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The 23-year-old started the first two games of the season and has gone 4-for-8 with two doubles, a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored, but he'll take a seat Sunday with lefty Jose Quintana pitching for Colorado. However, the left-handed-hitting Caissie doesn't seem to be in a strict platoon, given that he started against left-hander Kyle Freeland on Opening Day. Austin Slater will draw the starting nod in right field in the series finale.
