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

Ragsdale was claimed off waivers from San Francisco in early August and has posted a 3.47 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB over 23.1 innings with Norfolk. He's worked mostly as a starter as a minor-leaguer but will likely slot out of the Orioles' bullpen during his first taste of the majors. Ragsdale's call-up is the corresponding move to reliever Shawn Dubin (elbow) being placed on the 15-day IL.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Frazier picked up starts in left field in the first two games of the series and went 2-for-8 between those contests, but he'll take a seat for the final contest in Philadelphia. Michael Massey will fill in for Frazier in left field and will bat sixth.

Isbel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The Royals are facing off against a righty (Aaron Nola) in the series finale, but the left-handed-hitting Isbel will receive a day off nonetheless after he had started in each of Kansas City's last 12 games. Mike Yastrzemski will spell Isbel in center field.

Suzuki (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Suzuki is sitting for a third consecutive game while battling an illness. Moises Ballesteros started at designated hitter for the first two games and is doing so again Sunday for the series finale versus Tampa Bay.

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

In what appears to be a planned rest day, Machado will get a first day off of the season after starting in each of the Padres' first 149 games of the campaign. Jose Iglesias will step in at third base for Machado, who went 4-for-10 with two home runs, two walks, four RBI and four runs through the first three games of the series.

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

The Cubs demoted Alcantara when Owen Caissie was recalled from Iowa a day earlier, but Alcantara will rejoin the big club for the series finale with Tampa Bay after Caissie sustained a concussion in Saturday's 5-4 loss. Even though Seiya Suzuki (illness) is day-to-day and Kyle Tucker (calf) remains on the injured list, Alcantara is still likely to be limited to a depth role in the Chicago outfield as the regular season winds down.

Edwards (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Edwards will sit for a second consecutive game after being scratched from the lineup Saturday due to wrist discomfort. He'll have an extra day to recover thanks to Monday's team off day ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Colorado. Maximo Acosta is manning the keystone Sunday for Miami, opening up third base for Javier Sanoja.

The Cubs placed Caissie (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Sunday.

Just one day after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, Caissie will be deactivated after he sustained a concussion when he collided with the outfield wall on a catch in the third inning of Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays. Chicago recalled Kevin Alcantara from Iowa to provide the team with another option in the outfield while Seiya Suzuki (illness) is day-to-day and Kyle Tucker (calf) is on the 10-day IL.

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

Quero has a .278/.316/.389 slash line through nine games in September and will take a seat Sunday for the second time in Chicago's past three games. Andrew Benintendi will bat sixth as the designated hitter in the series finale at Cleveland.

Baldwin (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Baldwin departed Friday's contest due to hip soreness and will sit Sunday for a second consecutive game. Dominic Fletcher is starting in center field in the series finale for the White Sox.
