McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

McNeil started the previous six games and will receive Sunday off after batting .308 (8-for-26) with a double, a homer, four RBI and three runs during that span. Tommy White will step in at first base and bat fifth versus Houston righty Cristian Javier.

Canning (4-9) earned the win over Minnesota on Saturday, allowing three hits and issuing one walk while striking out one batter over 3.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.

Casey Mize started the game for San Diego but left after just 2.2 frames due to an ankle injury. Canning helped spare the Padres bullpen from exhausting its arms by covering 3.1 innings on 46 pitches (27 strikes). The veteran right-hander limited the Twins to just three hits (all singles) in his longest outing since July 18, which was when he made his final start before being moved to a bulk-relief role. Canning has been much more effective out of the bullpen, and over his past seven appearances he's logged a 3-0 record with a 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB across 13.1 innings.

Caissie is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

After four consecutive starts, the left-handed hitter will move to the bench while southpaw Jackson Kent takes the bump for the Nationals. Agustin Ramirez will serve as the Marlins' designated hitter in Caissie's stead.

Mack is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Mack started the past three contests after missing a few days due to a shoulder issue, so he's likely just getting a rest day after going 1-for-11 since rejoining the lineup. Brian Navarreto is working behind the plate and batting ninth in the series finale versus Washington.

Marsee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

After four consecutive starts, the left-handed-hitting Marsee will move to the bench while southpaw Jackson Kent takes the bump for the Nationals. Esteury Ruiz will cover center field in Marsee's stead Sunday.

Chaparro will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Since being called up from Triple-A Rochester on May 19, Chaparro has largely served as a short-side platoon player for the Nationals, but he's begun to gain traction in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. He'll crack the starting nine against a righty for the third time in four games, and on the season he sports a 1.127 OPS with three homers in 35 plate appearances in that split.

House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

After starting at third base in each of the last three games while going 2-for-8 with three walks, House will take a seat for the series finale while Jorbit Vivas mans the hot corner. House has put together a modest .699 OPS over 24 second-half games with the Nationals, but that may be enough to give him in the edge in playing time over Vivas, who is slashing just .214/.324/.250 over that same timeframe.

The White Sox plan to send Teel (ankle) to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Teel landed back on the IL on July 21 due to a left high-ankle sprain, but he's recovering faster than anticipated and was able to run the bases a couple of times this weekend without issue. The White Sox haven't outlined how long Teel's rehab assignment will last, but as soon as he proves he can catch a full nine-inning game, he'll likely return to the big-league roster. Chicago has been getting by with a timeshare of Drew Romo and Jake Rogers behind the plate of late, but Teel will take over as the clear No. 1 backstop once he's healthy.

Bohm is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to what interim manager Don Mattingly described as hamstring or groin tightness, Cory Nidoh of PhillySportsNetwork.com reports.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 12-3 win before making a late exit due to what appears to be a minor injury. Though Bohm won't start Sunday, Mattingly downplayed most of the concern about the first baseman's health, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Kyle Schwarber will draw the start at first base in the series finale, but Bohm could appear at some point off the bench, if needed.

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

After starting in each of the last seven games while going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with five runs and two RBI, Ramirez will get some rest Sunday while the Guardians wrap up their series in Colorado with a day game after a night game. Ramirez's move to the bench will open up a spot in the lineup for Angel Martinez, who will start in left field and bat seventh.
