Eloy Jiménez (leg) is not in the White Sox starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins.
As expected, the 26-year-old outfielder remains sidelined Sunday with a lower leg injury. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters on Saturday that the slugger will likely remain out until early next week and he should avoid a trip to the injured list. Jake Burger is batting fifth as the White Sox' designated hitter in his place.
Kevin Kiermaier (wrist) is not in the Blue Jays starting lineup for Sunday's showdown against the Twins.
Kiermaier has been limited to pinch-running duties since being plunked on the wrist in Thursday's game against the Astros. There is a chance the 33-year-old returns prior to a three-game series against the Orioles on Tuesday.
Brandon Belt is not in the Blue Jays lineup for Sunday's finale against the Twins.
Belt was removed from Saturday's game due to a tight hamstring. The team has not announced test results, and the veteran could require a stint on the injured list. The Blue Jays should announce more after Sunday's game.
Ryan Mountcastle (illness) is not in the Orioles' starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Royals.
Mountcastle will miss his third game in a row on Sunday due to an illness. Josh Lester will start in his place at first base and will bat eighth against Carlos Hernandez and the Royals.
Jake Irvin will not make his scheduled start against the Astros on Tuesday.
Irvin has given up four runs in back-to-back starts and he will have his next start skipped. The Nationals will use Patrick Corbin, Josiah Gray, and MacKenzie Gore in their upcoming series against the Astros.
Shea Langeliers is not in the A's starting lineup for Sunday's showdown against the Brewers.
It is a regular day off for the 25-year-old backstop. Langeliers is hitting .215/.294/.390 with eight homers and 26 RBI across 218 plate appearances for the rebuilding Oakland A's. In his place, Carlos Pérez will catch JP Sears and bat seventh.
José Ramírez is not in the Guardians lineup for Sunday's showdown against the Astros.
Ramírez has been white-hot since the calendar flipped to June. The 30-year-old superstar is hitting .282/.349/.641 with four homers and nine RBI over the last nine games. Gabriel Arias will play third and bat sixth in his absence.
Astros recalled LHP Matt Gage from Triple-A Sugar Land.
He is taking Ryne Stanek's spot on the roster. The 30-year-old posted a 4.50 ERA across three appearances earlier this season with Houston and will pitch in lower-leverage situations while he is with the big league club.
Jose Altuve is not in the Astros' starting lineup for Sunday's showdown against the Guardians.
Altuve missed four games last week due to an oblique issue and will get a day of rest on Sunday. The 33-year-old veteran is hitting .262/.348/.443 with two homers and two steals across 69 plate appearances. Mauricio Dubón will bat leadoff and play second base in his absence. He should return to the lineup Tuesday when the Astros begin a three-game series against the Nationals in Houston.
Rays optioned LHP José Lopez to Triple-A Durham.
Lopez gave up one run in his two innings of work on Saturday and will head back to the minors as Ryan Thompson was activated from the injured list.
Rays recalled RHP Ryan Thompson from Triple-A Durham.

The 28-year-old right-hander had a 4.31 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 36/14 K/BB ratio across three starts (19 appearances) for Triple-A Buffalo this season. He will pitch in low-leverage situations while he is with the Blue Jays.

Francis struck out three batters across 2 2/3 innings on Saturday but will return to Buffalo on Sunday. Thomas Hatch was recalled in a corresponding transaction.
James Outman is not in the Dodgers' lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies.
Outman retreats to the bench on Sunday afternoon against right-hander Taijuan Walker. The 26-year-old is hitting better this month after hitting an atrocious .165 in May. Jason Heyward will patrol center field and bat eighth in his absence.
Guardians activated RHP Cody Morris from the 60-day injured list.
During his minor league rehab assignment, Morris has a 2.16 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across four games. The 26-year-old righty has been out since spring training recovering from a teres major strain in his right shoulder. He should help the Guardians out of the bullpen.
Guardians optioned LHP Tim Herrin to Triple-A Columbus.
Herrin has been sent back to the minors to make room for right-hander Cody Morris. The 26-year-old southpaw posted a 6.39 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 14/5 K/BB ratio across 10 appearances with the Guardians this year.

Maton will head to second base with Zack Short retreating to the bench. The 26-year-old is hitting just .166/.294/.313 across 194 plate appearances this season. He will need to pick up the pace to keep Justyn-Henry Malloy or Colt Keith from taking his job.
Emmanuel Rivera is not in the Diamondbacks lineup for Sunday's finale against the Tigers.
The 26-year-old is hitting .393 this month but will start the game on the bench as veteran Evan Longoria plays third base.

Nick Maton is not in the Tigers' starting lineup for Sunday's finale against the Diamondbacks.
Maton gets a day off Sunday after playing in the last nine games for the Tigers. The 26-year-old is hitting just .166/.294/.313 across 194 plate appearances this season. Jonathan Schoop will play third base and bat eighth in his absence.
