The Dodgers placed Skubal on the bereavement list Sunday.

The left-hander will step away from the team for a few days in order to handle a personal matter. Skubal pitched Saturday against the Giants, surrendering four runs over five innings but getting the win, and he should be back for his next turn through the rotation.

Edwards (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Edwards departed Saturday's game due to discomfort in his left thumb, which was initially checked out after he hit a foul ball. The 27-year-old returned from the injured list last weekend after missing two weeks due to a sprain in the same thumb, so he may have aggravated the injury. Javier Sanoja will shift to second base while Graham Pauley starts at the hot corner.

Jones (foot) is starting in center field and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The 25-year-old was held out of the lineup Saturday due to some soreness in his left foot, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine after missing just one start. Jones has gone 1-for-19 across his past four games but overall has been productive in September with a .788 OPS in 57 at-bats this month.

Montero is scheduled to pitch Monday against the Nationals, piggybacking with starter River Ryan, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Montero has lasted exactly four frames in each of his past three starts, surrendering 10 runs on 16 hits with a 10:5 K:BB. The right-hander will be bumped from the rotation, but he could still have a sizable workload Monday since Ryan is likely to have a limited workload in his Tigers debut.

The Rangers recalled Santos from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The right-hander had two brief stints with Texas earlier this season and allowed two earned runs in two innings during his lone appearance. Santos is filling the roster spot vacated by Cal Quantrill (lat), who was placed on the injured list.

Texas scratched Nimmo from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to an illness.

Nimmo will now have two days to recover from the ailment thanks to Monday's team off day. Alejandro Osuna will replace Nimmo in right field and bat fifth.

The Rangers placed Quantrill on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right lat strain, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Quantrill exited Saturday's start against the Blue Jays after 1.1 scoreless frames due to lat tightness, and the injury will sideline him for the final week of the regular season. It brings an early end to a resurgent campaign for the right-hander, who posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB across 110 innings. The Rangers currently have a one-game advantage in the AL West, though it's unclear if Quantrill will be ready to return during a potential playoff run.

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

It's the fourth time Gorman has been absent from St. Louis' lineup in the past five games, with only one of those absences coming against a left-handed starting pitcher. The recent returns of JJ Wetherholt and Masyn Winn from injuries have resulted in Thomas Saggese pushing into the third-base mix alongside Jose Fermin, leaving little playing time for Gorman.

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

The veteran shortstop started the first two games of the series after being reinstated from the injured list Friday, so this is likely just a rest day for him after he went 3-for-7 with a solo homer in those contests. Nico Hoerner is taking Swanson's place at shortstop, which opens up the keystone for Pedro Ramirez.

Tucker (knee/shin) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Giants, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports.

After fouling a ball off his right leg Saturday, Tucker will sit out Sunday's series finale. Teoscar Hernandez will shift over to right field and bat third for the Dodgers.
