Hunter Goodman C | COL
Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Not in Sunday's lineup
Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Goodman started the first two games of the series and will receive Sunday off after going 4-for-8 with an RBI and a run scored. Braxton Fulford will take over behind the plate and bat seventh in the series finale.

Warming Bernabel 3B | WAS
Rockies' Warming Bernabel: Remaining on bench Sunday
Bernabel (knee/quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Bernabel exited Saturday's 4-3 loss due to a knee and quad bruise, and he'll be held out of the lineup for the series finale as a result. The 23-year-old should be considered day-to-day while Kyle Farmer receives a start at first base.

Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL
Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Exiting lineup Sunday
Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
The versatile Dubon will hit the bench after starting 11 straight games across three different positions. His last two starts came in center field, where he could end up seeing the bulk of his playing time until Jake Meyers (calf) is ready to return from the injured list.

Tyler Anderson SP | LAA
Angels' Tyler Anderson: Shelved with oblique strain
The Angels placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.
The veteran left-hander delivered five scoreless frames Friday in Houston, but that could end up being his final start of the campaign. Anderson will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 14, but oblique injuries often require longer than 15 days of recovery time. If the 35-year-old is unable to return to the mound in 2025, he'll finish the campaign with a 4.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 104:57 K:BB across 136.1 innings.

Bryce Teodosio LF | LAA
Angels' Bryce Teodosio: On bench Sunday
Teodosio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Teodosio has been serving as the Angels' everyday center fielder for much of August, but he'll sit for the series finale in Houston after starting 18 straight games and slashing a poor .170/.237/.245 with zero home runs and one stolen base. Jo Adell will slide over from his usual spot in right field to cover center field.

Jose Urena SP | LAA
Angels' Jose Urena: Inks deal with Halos
Urena agreed to a major-league contract with the Angels on Sunday.
The right-hander elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Twins last week, but he was able to find another home in the majors. Urena had made 13 appearances (five starts) with four different MLB clubs this season and has a 5.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB over 36 innings. After placing Tyler Anderson (oblique) on the injured list Sunday and optioning Jack Kochanowicz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, the Angels have two open spots in the rotation, and Urena is a good bet to fill one of those slots during the team's upcoming series in Kansas City.

Curtis Mead 3B | BOS
White Sox's Curtis Mead: Taking control at hot corner
Mead will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Mead will be making his fourth consecutive start after going 2-for-11 with a double and two runs over the previous three contests. The 24-year-old should be in line for a near-everyday role at the hot corner while Miguel Vargas (hand) is on the injured list.

Niko Kavadas 1B | LAA
Angels' Niko Kavadas: Not in Sunday's lineup
Kavadas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Kavadas started the previous two games but will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale in Houston. Oswald Peraza is starting at first base and batting ninth against Astros righty Hunter Brown.
