Ramos will start in left field and bat third in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

After being acquired from the Giants on Monday, Ramos looked like he could be at risk of taking on a short-side platoon role with his new team, but the Yankees' decision to demote Jasson Dominguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre earlier in the week has cleared the way for Ramos to take hold of a regular spot in the lineup. Since being activated Tuesday, Ramos has gone 2-for-13 with two doubles, two walks and two hit-by-pitches while starting in left field in all five of the Yankees' games.

Suzuki is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Suzuki started the previous eight games and will receive a day off after going 8-for-31 (.258) with two doubles, one homer, one steal, six RBI and four runs. Pete Crow-Armstrong will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Tyrone Taylor picks up a start in center field.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

The super-utility player will receive a breather after starting four straight games at four different positions -- left field, center field, second base and shortstop. With Dubon resting, Atlanta will make room in the lineup for Dominic Smith, who will bat sixth as the DH.

Vaughn will start at third base and bat third in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Vaughn has previously logged 10 total innings at third base across six games this season, but Sunday he'll make his first start at the position since 2021. He won't be a regular option at the hot corner, but David Hamilton is needed at shortstop with Joey Ortiz (neck) and Cooper Pratt (hamstring) both unavailable.

Yoshida is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics due to an illness, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that a bug has been making its way around the clubhouse, and Yoshida appears to be the latest victim. Though the veteran slugger will remain out of the starting nine for a second straight game, he may have been on the bench anyway as the Red Sox give Wilyer Abreu (calf/shin) a day off from playing defense by keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter.

The Mets optioned Curry to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Curry continues to be shuffled between Syracuse and Queens, with Sunday marking the third time he's been demoted since being added to the 40-man roster in early July. The right-hander has a 2.81 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 16 big-league innings (seven appearances), so he seems likely to get another look in the majors when the Mets need a fresh bullpen arm.

Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

The left-handed-hitting Cortes finds himself on the bench for a fifth consecutive game, with the Athletics having faced left-handed starters in the last four of those contests. Southpaw Erik Miller is expected to work only an inning or two in a bullpen game for the Red Sox on Sunday, so Cortes could be summoned from the bench if a righty reliever takes over for Boston.

Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

The left-handed hitter is on the bench for the fourth straight game, with the Athletics having faced lefty starters each time. Opener Erik Miller is likely to work only an inning or two for the Red Sox on Sunday, so Walton could still end up playing most of the contest.

Springer (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Springer will miss a second straight start while he tends to a tight left shoulder. The 36-year-old was able to make an appearance off the bench as a pinch runner Saturday, so at this stage it doesn't look like he's at risk of landing on the injured list.

The Angels optioned Kerry to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

The right-hander worked in long relief Saturday in Miami after starter Walbert Urena lasted just 2.1 frames. Kerry allowed three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and a walk across 5.2 innings. He's filled that role in his first three MLB appearances for the Angels and has pitched well with a 3.95 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB across 13.2 innings. Ryan Watson, who was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on Friday, will fill Kerry's roster spot.
