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

Taveras has maintained a .248/.324/.363 slash line (95 wRC+) to go with two home runs and nine stolen bases across 260 plate appearances on the season, giving the Orioles adequate production while the team has navigated numerous injuries. However, with Adley Rutschman (concussion) and Dylan Beavers (oblique) returning from the injured list Sunday, Taveras seems headed for a fourth outfielder role. Baltimore will go with Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser and Beavers as its starting outfield trio Sunday.

Caglianone was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox due to left groin soreness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

It's unclear when exactly Caglianone sustained the injury, though he's been scuffling at the plate over the past four games, going 1-for-15 with a walk, a triple and eight strikeouts. The 23-year-old will miss at least one start while he tends to the injury.

The Royals scratched Caglianone from the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox without specifying a reason, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Caglianone had been slated to bat third and start in right field, but the Royals pulled him from the lineup about an hour and a half before game time. The team is expected to provide an explanation behind Caglianone's removal later Sunday, but Kameron Misner will get the nod in right field in his stead. Caglianone had been dialed in at the dish for much of June, producing a .322/.402/.678 slash line on the month while slugging nine of his 14 home runs on the season.

Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians due to elbow discomfort, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Though he played the full nine innings while going 0-for-3 with a walk over four plate appearances Saturday, Raley reportedly tweaked his elbow on a swing at some point during the contest. The Mariners will give him at least one game off to rest, clearing the way for Victor Robles to pick up a start in right field.

The Rangers placed Langford on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.

Langford will hit the shelf for the second time this season, after a forearm strain had previously kept him out for about six weeks earlier in the campaign. He'll be eligible to return from the IL on July 7, but unless the hamstring strain is deemed to be mild, the Rangers could be inclined to hold him out through the All-Star break. Texas activated Evan Carter (oblique) from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, and he should step in as the primary replacement in center field for Langford.

The Rangers reinstated Carter (oblique) from the 10-day injured list. He'll start in center field and bat seventh Sunday against the Blue Jays.

The 23-year-old landed on the shelf June 13 due to the oblique injury, but he's ready to rejoin the Rangers after going 2-for-2 with a walk and a home run during his lone rehab appearance with Double-A Frisco. Carter is replacing Wyatt Langford (hamstring) on the active roster.

The Orioles reinstated Beavers (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

The 24-year-old has been on the shelf for the past six weeks due to an oblique strain, but he's ready to rejoin the active roster after going 1-for-20 with five walks during a six-game rehab assignment. Beavers, who posted a .243/.331/.369 slash line with two homers and three steals in his first 33 games of 2026, should reclaim a starting job in the outfield now that he's healthy.

The Guardians reinstated DeLauter (rib) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Cleveland optioned outfielder Petey Halpin to Triple-A Columbus to open up a spot on the active roster for DeLauter, who experiencing no setbacks in his recovery from a right rib cage fracture while taking on-field batting practice Saturday. Since he missed only two weeks with the injury, DeLauter should be ready to handle an everyday role right away while bouncing between right field and designated hitter.

Osuna started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Osuna was originally scheduled for bench duty but was needed when the Rangers scratched Wyatt Langford (hamstring) just before the first pitch. Osuna has been a regular in left field since Evan Carter (oblique) was added to the injured list and could also cover center if Langford's injury lingers. Since returning for a second stint in the majors June 14, Osuna is slashing .275/.326/.325 with five RBI and five runs scored over 12 games.

Watson went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

Watson's fourth-inning double with runners at first and third base produced Cleveland's first run and extended his RBI streak to five games (7-for-16, eight RBI). In a small sample, the 23-year-old is 4-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Watson and fellow rookie Cooper Ingle are providing a boost to an offense that ranks 28th in runs and OPS.
