Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Hernandez started the previous four games but will hit the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 6-for-45 (.133) slump. Alex Call is starting in right field Sunday, which could be a more common occurrence down the stretch if Hernandez continues to flounder at the plate.

The Rangers selected Edwards' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Edwards inked a minor-league deal with the Rangers on July 22, and after posting a 5.31 ERA in eight appearances (seven starts) at Round Rock, he'll join the active roster. The 34-year-old started the season in the Angels' organization and logged a 1.54 ERA in 11.2 innings with their Triple-A affiliate before electing free agency in May.

Pages is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Pages has gone 2-for-16 with eight strikeouts over the past four contests, and he'll head to the bench Sunday after a run of 76 consecutive starts. Enrique Hernandez will take over in center field for the series finale in Baltimore.

The Rangers designated Boushley for assignment Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Boushley made four appearances after being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Aug. 27, allowing nine runs (six earned) with a 5:1 K:BB across 3.2 innings. Texas selected Carl Edwards' contract in a corresponding move. Boushley owns a 6.02 ERA in 43.1 innings with the Rangers this season.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Houston.

With lefty Framber Valdez on the hill for the Astros, the left-handed-hitting Smith will get the day off after starting in each of the previous seven games. Ezequiel Duran will cover shortstop in Smith's stead.

Selby (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reported Sunday.

Selby has been on the shelf with a strained left hamstring since July 29. It's unclear how many rehab outings the 27-year-old reliever will require before being reinstated from the IL, but it seems as though he'll be healthy before the end of the regular season. In nine appearances with the Orioles in 2025, Selby logged a 4.09 ERA with a 12:2 K:BB across 11 innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Muncy (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Muncy has been on the IL since Aug. 15 due to a right oblique strain and had his recovery program briefly slowed down by an illness, but he looks ready to rejoin the big club after playing three rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City from Thursday through Saturday while going 2-for-7 with two walks and a run. Enrique Hernandez and Miguel Rojas have been sharing work at third base of late, but Muncy should step back in as an everyday option at the position once he's activated.

Goldschmidt has been tending to a bone bruise in his right knee recently, but he'll be available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Goldschmidt missed multiple games in August due to a right knee sprain, so his current bout with the bone bruise could be related. Testing on his knee came back clean, and the Yankees are confident the issue will be manageable, even though he was available off the bench only in an emergency during Saturday's 3-1 win. Goldschmidt appears to have fallen into a short-side platoon role at first base with Ben Rice, who has started eight of the last 11 games against right-handed pitchers.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Young made his return Saturday from a two-game absence due to back spasms and went 0-for-3 at the plate. He'll yield to Robert Hassell in center field Sunday for Washington's series finale. After serving as the everyday center fielder for most of June and July, Young and Hassell have been splitting work at the position over the last few weeks.

Schneemann started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. He was also caught stealing.

Schneemann was integral to the win, which vaulted Cleveland above Tampa Bay in the postseason chase. He popped a two-run, bases-loaded double to left-center to put the Guardians on top in the fourth inning. He later led off the ninth with a single and scored the game-winning run. The offense came out of nowhere for Schneemann, who entered the contest on a 1-for-25 skid over the previous eight games.
