Nick Solak DH | SD
Padres' Nick Solak: Removed from 40-man roster
The Padres designated Solak for assignment Sunday.
San Diego dropped Solak from the 40-man roster to open up a spot for Miguel Andujar (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Called up from Triple-A El Paso after Andujar landed on the IL on June 13, Solak appeared in four games and went 1-for-7 with a walk and an RBI during his one-week stay with San Diego.

Diamondbacks' Jose Cabrera: Contract selected for MLB debut
The Diamondbacks selected Cabrera's contract from Triple-A Reno to start Sunday's game versus the Twins.
It will be the big-league debut for the 24-year-old righty, who has pitched well between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year with a 3.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 64:16 K:BB over 61 innings. Recent injuries sustained by Michael Soroka (lower body) and Ryne Nelson (elbow) could provide an opening for Cabrera to get an extended look in the rotation, especially if he acquits himself well in his MLB debut.

Joey Meneses DH | ATH
Athletics' Joey Meneses: Promoted, starting Sunday
The Athletics selected Meneses' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, and he's batting sixth as the designated hitter against the Angels.
The 34-year-old will immediately enter the starting nine after getting called up for his first stint in the big leagues since 2024. Meneses has taken advantage of the hitter-friendly environment of the Pacific Coast League this year with a .348/.401/.539 slash line in 69 games.

David Fry RF | CLE
Guardians' David Fry: On bench for third straight game
Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Fry had drawn four consecutive starts from Saturday through Thursday, but he's been on the bench for all three games of the Guardians' weekend series in Houston. Each of those absences have come against right-handed pitchers, so Fry appears as though he'll remain in a short-side platoon role even while Jose Ramirez (hand), Angel Martinez (foot) and Chase DeLauter (ribs) are on the IL.

Jose Corniell RP | TEX
Rangers' Jose Corniell: Called up Sunday
The Rangers recalled Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
The right-hander will get a look with the Rangers for the first time this season after struggling to a 6.08 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 26.2 innings with Round Rock. Corniell has primarily worked as a starter at Triple-A, but it's not yet clear if he's seen as a candidate to replace Jack Leiter (ankle) in the rotation.

Jackson Holliday 2B | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sitting out with tight groin Sunday
Holliday (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Holliday will miss out at least one start after he was lifted in the eighth inning of Saturday's 3-2 win due to groin tightness, though he said that he's not overly concerned about the injury and thinks that he could play off the bench Sunday if needed, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Jeremiah Jackson came on the replace him Saturday and will draw the start at second base in Holliday's stead in the series finale.

Josh Ekness RP | MIA
Marlins' Josh Ekness: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Marlins transferred Ekness (calf) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
When Ekness was initially placed on the IL on June 1 due to a right calf strain, manager Clayton McCullough indicated that the right-handed reliever would be out for approximately six weeks. Ekness' move to the 60-day IL likely pushes his absence into August. The 24-year-old posted a 1.69 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB in 5.1 innings over six appearances for Miami prior to being injured.

Brian Navarreto C | MIA
Marlins' Brian Navarreto: Summoned from Triple-A
The Marlins selected Navarreto's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
He'll provide Miami with a second option at catcher behind Joe Mack after the Marlins moved Liam Hicks (back) to the 10-day injured list Sunday. Mack is expected to shoulder a heftier workload behind the dish while Hicks is shelved, so Navarreto may not get more than a start or two a week while he's up.

Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA
Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Sitting Sunday
Sanoja is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Sanoja will be held out of the starting nine for the series finale while the Marlins go with their third different third baseman in as many days. Connor Norby will get a turn at the hot corner Sunday after Sanoja and Leo Jimenez made starts at the position in the first two contests of the series.
