Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Bell started the previous 15 contests and will receive a day off after going 2-for-20 in his past six games. Trevor Larnach will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while Emmanuel Rodriguez makes the start in left field.

The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

The move corresponds with the Orioles placing right-hander Kyle Bradish (abdomen) on the 15-day injured list. Hiraldo has appeared in seven major-league games this season with a 5.87 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB over 7.2 frames. He gives the Orioles some additional right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

The Diamondbacks recalled Fernandez from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Fernandez is back with the big club after being sent down to Triple-A on Aug. 31, and the move corresponds with the Diamondbacks designating Lourdes Gurriel for assignment. Fernandez has a .262/.305/.356 slash line with nine steals, three home runs and 16 RBI across 207 major-league plate appearances this season.

Culpepper (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

The 23-year-old Culpepper exited Saturday's contest after being hit in the shoulder by a 95 mph pitch and will miss at least one start due to the injury. Ryan Kreidler will fill in at shortstop Sunday for the Twins.

The Guardians recalled Brogdon from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The move corresponds with Franco Aleman being optioned to Triple-A. Brogdon last saw major-league action May 7, and across 15 big-league appearances this year he has a 5.28 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, four holds and one save in 15.1 innings.

The Guardians optioned Aleman to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The move comes after Aleman's last outing against the Twins on Saturday, when he allowed four runs on five hits while striking out one batter in two-thirds of an inning. Connor Brogdon was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

McLain (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee.

The 27-year-old was scratched from Saturday's starting nine for unspecified reasons and finds himself on the bench again Sunday. Juan Brito is picking up another start at second base in place of McLain.

The Red Sox placed Seigler on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right wrist inflammation.

Seigler's wrist issue flared up during Saturday's game against the Royals, and further testing led to an IL stint. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Nick Sogard will be the main depth infield options for Boston while Seigler is on the shelf. In a corresponding move, Willson Contreras (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

The Nationals activated Nunez (personal) from the bereavement list Sunday.

Nunez has been away from the team for the past few days but is back on the active roster ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the Angels. The 26-year-old was filling a reduced role prior to the absence while in the midst of a 3-for-40 slump.

The Red Sox reinstated Contreras from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting at first base Sunday against the Royals, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The veteran slugger is ready to rejoin the Red Sox after going 2-for-7 with two RBI and three strikeouts during a two-game rehab assignment. Contreras landed on the shelf due to a left hamstring strain Aug. 31, but he ended up missing just a little more than the 10-day minimum.
