Varsho (wrist) is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Orioles on Sunday.

Varsho will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game while tending to a left wrist injury that popped up in Friday's series opener. The Blue Jays will start Jesus Sanchez, Myles Straw and Yohendrick Pinango in the outfield from left to right.

Vierling is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Vierling will be on the bench for the series finale after going 0-for-3 in Saturday's loss. The Tigers will start Riley Greene, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter in the outfield from left to right.

Wade went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in a 13-2 romp over the Athletics on Saturday.

Wade joined Houston on a one-year contract Thursday and went 0-for-4 in his season debut that evening. The veteran outfielder turned in a much more impactful performance in his second contest with his new club, with his big hits being a solo homer in the second inning and a two-run double in the fifth. Wade seems likely to get occasional starts in left field with the Astros, though he'll probably need to string together an extended productive run to get a chance at seeing regular playing time.

Caglianone was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins with right shoulder soreness.

Caglianone crashed shoulder first into the side wall in right field during Friday's contest, and he seemingly aggravated his shoulder while striking out during his at-bat in the first inning Saturday. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the Royals could provide more details on his status after the game.

Simpson (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Simpson will receive a day off Saturday after making an early exit from Friday's game with left thumb discomfort. While he sits, Richie Palacios, Cedric Mullins and Victor Mesa will start across the outfield for the Rays.

Ward will serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff Saturday against the Blue Jays.

The 32-year-old will move from his usual post in left field to designated hitter Saturday while Samuel Basallo sits with an abdominal injury. Ward has begun to heat up at the plate recently, tallying seven base hits while scoring three runs across his last three games.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Smith will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going hitless in four of his last five games. While he sits, LaMonte Wade, Jake Meyers and Taylor Trammell will form the Astros' outfield trio.

Buxton (shoulder) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Buxton injured his right shoulder colliding with the outfield wall while making a catch Friday, and the Twins will give him a day off Saturday so that he can recover. Ryan Kreidler will patrol center field in Buxton's stead.

Varsho (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

Varsho was forced to make an early exit from Friday's contest due to left wrist inflammation, and the Blue Jays will give him a chance to rest Saturday while Myles Straw starts in center field.

Langford batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Guardians.

Langford was activated from the injured list and slotted in at leadoff for the first time this season. He doubled and scored as part of the Rangers' three-run sixth inning, which also featured a home run from the returning Corey Seager, who batted behind Langford in the two hole against lefty starter Parker Messick. Langford had been out since April 21 with a flexor strain in his right forearm. There was a setback early in his rehab that extended his stay on the IL.
