Antonacci is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

After a string of eight consecutive starts, Antonacci will get a break for Sunday's day game against lefty Robbie Ray. Second baseman Chase Meidroth will step in for Antonacci as the White Sox's leadoff hitter.

Kelenic is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Giants are sending southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill for the series finale, so the left-handed-hitting Kelenic will head to the bench. Derek Hill will replace Kelenic in right field and will bat seventh.

Caglianone went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Mariners.

Caglianone contributed to the Royals' three-run first inning with a two-out RBI single before promptly stealing second base. It marked the 23-year-old's first successful stolen base of the season after he was caught in his lone previous attempt April 4 against the Brewers. Speed isn't exactly the right fielder's calling card, but he's also shown improvement at the plate in his second big-league season. Caglianone is slashing .247/.310/.416 with 15 extra-base hits (five homers), 11 RBI and 18 runs across 47 games in 2026 after mustering just a .532 OPS over 62 contests in 2025.

Langford (forearm) was cleared to begin a throwing and hitting progression Friday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Langford was briefly shut down after earlier this month after experiencing renewed soreness in his right forearm during an extended spring training game, but he seems to be steadily ramping back up again. The 24-year-old will continue his hitting and throwing progressions for the next week before embarking on a rehab assignment. He appears to be trending toward a return from the 10-day injured list in early-to-mid-June.

Martinez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Martinez will hit the bench for the series finale in Philadelphia, ending a streak of 11 consecutive starts for the 24-year-old. The Guardians will go with David Fry as Martinez's replacement in the lineup in left field.

Buxton is not in the Twins' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Sunday.

Buxton will get a breather Sunday after going 3-for-10 with one home run, three RBI and five strikeouts over the first two games of the series. James Outman will start in center field and bat eighth in the series finale in Boston.

Cowser is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Though he'll be on the bench while the Tigers send lefty Framber Valdez to the hill for the matinee, Cowser has seemingly regained a foothold in the lineup. He's started the last three matchups with right-handed starters or primary pitchers, going 3-for-9 with a home run and a stolen bases in those contests. Until Dylan Beavers (oblique) returns from the injured list, Cowser and Tyler O'Neill could end up forming a loose platoon in right field.

The Rays recalled Mesa from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Mesa will join the Rays as a replacement on the active roster for Jonny DeLuca (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. In DeLuca's absence, Mesa should see a fair amount of starts in the outfield, especially against right-handed pitching. He'll be on the bench for Sunday's game against the Yankees, however, with southpaw Ryan Weathers on the hill for New York.

The Rays placed DeLuca on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain.

DeLuca strained his right hamstring while running the bases during Friday's 4-2 win over the Yankees. The 27-year-old outfielder will be eligible to return from the shelf June 3, but it's unclear if he'll have a shot at rejoining the Rays at that time. Victor Mesa was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move and could work in a platoon in right field with Ryan Vilade while DeLuca is on the IL.

Helman entered Saturday's game in the fourth inning after Josh Jung (shoulder) was removed and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a double in a 5-2 loss to the Angels.

Texas manager Skip Schumaker adjusted to the injury by moving shortstop Ezequiel Duran to third base and having Helman defend short. Depending on how Jung's shoulder responds, Helman could find himself somewhere in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale. Since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock, Helman has gone 2-for-8 over four games.
