The Padres activated Canning (Achilles) from the 15-day injured list in advance of his scheduled start Sunday against the White Sox.

Canning is ready to make his 2026 MLB debut after completing a five-outing rehab assignment, which signaled the end of his journey back from Achilles surgery last June. The right-hander built up to five innings and 68 pitches during his final rehab appearance with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday, so he'll likely have some workload limitations in his first outing with the Padres.

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

Harris appears to have moved past the left quadriceps tightness that kept him on the bench Thursday and Friday, but Atlanta will rest him for Sunday's day game while Colorado sends southpaw Kyle Freeland to the bump. Mauricio Dubon will draw the start in center field.

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

Ronald Acuna (hamstring) landed on the injured list Sunday, but his absence may not change Yastrzemski's role as a strong-side platoon option. Yastrzemski will be on the bench for the fourth time in the last five games Sunday, with Atlanta facing lefty starters in each of those contests.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals due to right side soreness and is considered day-to-day, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Raleigh was sent for an MRI after being scratched from the lineup Saturday due to unspecified soreness, which the Mariners have now identified, but the American League MVP runner-up has indicated that his injured side is already feeling better, per Divish. Raleigh was able to take some swings in the batting cage earlier Sunday, but he's unlikely to get used as a pinch hitter in the series finale versus Kansas City. He could return to the lineup Monday against Atlanta, however, either at catcher or designated hitter.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians in order to be with his wife following the birth of their child, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

It doesn't sound as though Langeliers is heading to the paternity list, with Sunday's game off followed by a team off day Monday. Tyler Soderstrom will serve as the Athletics' emergency catcher Sunday with backup Austin Wynns starting behind the plate.

The Mets selected Brujan's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

The addition of Brujan gives the Mets another option at shortstop beyond Bo Bichette after Ronny Mauricio (thumb) joined Francisco Lindor (calf) on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Though Bichette has played almost exclusively at third base this season, he has plenty of experience at shortstop and will start at the position Sunday in Anaheim. If the Mets are comfortable enough with Bichette's defense at shortstop, Brujan will fill a utility role while he's up in the majors and won't be in store for regular reps.

The Mets placed Mauricio (thumb) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, manager Carlos Mendoza said that Mauricio is headed for a CT scan and is facing an initial recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks. The Mets called up Vidal Brujan to provide another option at shortstop while Mauricio and Francisco Lindor (calf) are on the shelf, but Bo Bichette will start at the position Sunday in Anaheim and will likely see the bulk of the playing time at that spot.

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

Tatis will take a seat for just the second time all season, ending a streak of 14 consecutive starts. The three-time All-Star has made three of his last five starts at second base and has now occupied the keystone on six occasions this season, bringing him closer to gaining eligibility at that position in certain fantasy leagues.

Hoerner (neck) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Hoerner was removed from Friday's game after experiencing tightness on the left side of his neck and then remained on the bench Saturday as well, but he feels well enough to give it a go in the series finale. The 28-year-old opened the season as the Cubs' No. 5 hitter but has climbed into the leadoff spot after producing a .374 OBP through his first 32 games.

The Angels placed Kikuchi on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left shoulder inflammation.

The left-hander departed his most recent start Wednesday against the White Sox due to shoulder tightness, and he'll spend at least the next couple weeks on the shelf due to the injury. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Kikuchi's MRI is still being evaluated, so it's possible his diagnosis is updated in the near future. It's been a rough start to the season even prior to the injury, with the 34-year-old carrying a 5.81 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 31 innings.
