Eldridge is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Though he'll be head to the bench while lefty Noah Schultz takes the hill for Chicago, the left-handed-hitting Eldridge appears to be gaining traction in the San Francisco lineup against righties. Eldridge has started in each of the Giants' last three matchups versus right-handed starters or primary pitchers, going 3-for-11 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run.

Antonacci is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

After a string of eight consecutive starts, Antonacci will get a break for Sunday's day game against lefty Robbie Ray. Second baseman Chase Meidroth will step in for Antonacci as the White Sox's leadoff hitter.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

After a string of 11 consecutive starts, the left-handed-hitting Benintendi will get a break for Sunday's day game while the Giants send lefty Robbie Ray to the mound. Randal Grichuk will replace Benintendi in the starting nine, occupying left field and batting cleanup.

Kelenic is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Giants are sending southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill for the series finale, so the left-handed-hitting Kelenic will head to the bench. Derek Hill will replace Kelenic in right field and will bat seventh.

Romo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Romo will be rested for the series finale after going 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI while catching all eight innings of Saturday's 10-3 loss. Edgar Quero will step in behind the dish Sunday.

The Nationals placed Irvin on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right shoulder strain.

Irvin suffered the injury during his start Saturday in Atlanta, but the right-hander indicated that an MRI didn't show anything overly concerning, adding that his diagnosis was the "best news we could have heard," per Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com. Manager Blake Butera echoed those sentiments, telling Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com that he envisions a minimum stay on the shelf for the 29-year-old. After tossing five no-hit, scoreless innings before departing Saturday, Irvin lowered his ERA to 5.23 for the season.

The Cubs recalled Wicks from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

Wicks joins the big club with Edward Cabrera (finger) landing on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, and the southpaw could move into the rotation the next time the Cubs need a fifth starter Tuesday in Pittsburgh. Wicks made all eight of his appearances with Chicago in 2025 as a reliever, but he's been deployed exclusively as a starter so far this season at Iowa and has accrued a 4.44 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB across 26.1 innings.

The Blue Jays announced that Guerrero was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion following his departure from Sunday's game against the Pirates in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Guerrero reached on all three of his plate appearances, scoring a run and drawing two walks before immediately leaving the game after he was hit by a pitch. Fortunately for Guerrero, X-rays on his elbow ruled out a fracture, but the bruise could still be significant enough to cost him some time. The first baseman can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Marlins.

The Blue Jays announced that Cease was removed from his start Sunday against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to left hamstring discomfort.

Cease struck out eight and allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk before being lifted with two outs in the top of the fifth inning. The Blue Jays will likely send the right-hander in for a more thorough examination to determine whether he's dealing with a hamstring strain, though the club hasn't yet indicated that he'll require an MRI. For now, Cease's availability for his next turn through the rotation Friday in Baltimore is in flux.

Singer and the Reds won't face the Cardinals on Sunday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Cincinnati.

The two teams will make up the game as part of a split doubleheader Aug. 17. As a result of the postponement, the Reds plan to skip Singer's turn through the rotation, per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. Singer now lines up to make his next start during the Reds' home series versus Atlanta next weekend.
