Thomas went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

Before being pinch-hit for by Lawrence Butler in the sixth inning, Thomas opened the scoring with a scorching solo homer in the second inning. It marked the first extra-base hit of the season for the 25-year-old, who opened the year with Triple-A Las Vegas before being recalled April 22. The outfielder has seen limited playing time with the big-league club, primarily getting looks against lefties, and has gone 4-for-15 (.267) with two RBI, one run scored and two walks across six appearances.

Hill went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Padres.

Hill has been limited to bench duties for much of the year. He pinch hit for Jarred Kelenic in the seventh inning and delivered a game-tying homer in this contest, which was Hill's second long ball of the season. Hill is batting .263 with a .770 OPS, three RBI, six runs scored and four steals on seven attempts across 44 plate appearances this season. He gets most of his starts as a short-side platoon option in the outfield, but he has yet to pick up a start against a righty.

DeLauter went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Athletics.

DeLauter accounted for the Guardians' lone run of the game, connecting on an opposite-field solo homer off Aaron Civale in the fifth inning. After a cold spell in mid-April, the rookie outfielder is back to tearing the cover off the ball, slashing .609/.667/.870 over his past seven games while carrying an eight-game hitting streak. Overall, DeLauter is hitting .304/.392/.554 with six homers, eight doubles, a triple, 21 RBI and 15 runs across 32 contests.

Duran went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to Houston.

Duran launched his third home run of the season in the fifth inning, the second long ball in the last three games. He took over the leadoff spot against right-handers recently and has hit safely in three straight contests after an initial 0-for-13 run over his first three games atop the order. Duran is slashing .186/.246/.310 over 29 games (122 plate appearances).

The Guardians promoted Chourio from High-A Lake County to Double-A Akron on Sunday.

The younger brother of Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (hand), Jaison has emerged as an interesting prospect in his own right since signing with the Guardians in January 2022. The 20-year-old switch-hitting outfielder will move on to Akron after slashing .317/.431/.476 with two home runs and 10 stolen bases over 22 games at High-A to begin the season.

The White Sox promoted Montgomery from Double-A Birmingham to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Montgomery will move up a level in Chicago's minor-league farm system after slashing .313/.429/.606 with six home runs and two stolen bases over 126 plate appearances with Birmingham to begin the season. Viewed as one of the organization's top prospects, the 23-year-old Montgomery could have a shot at making his MLB debut later this summer if he can keep his strikeouts in check during his time at Triple-A.

The Mariners designated Thomas for assignment Sunday.

Thomas had been part of Seattle's 40-man roster for just over a year but has made just three appearances at the big-league level. He's played exclusively at Triple-A Tacoma thus far in 2026, slashing .260/.313/.328 over 144 plate appearances. Given that he's already 26 years old and producing at a below-league-average level (67 wRC+) at Triple-A, Thomas is a good bet to go unclaimed off waivers.

Dominguez went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, two doubles, three total RBI and a second run scored in Sunday's 11-3 win over the Orioles.

Dominguez gave the Yankees some breathing room in the eighth inning with his two-run shot off Andrew Kittredge, his first homer of the year, extending New York's lead to 6-3, before adding another RBI later in the frame after the Yankees batted around. Coming into Sunday, Dominguez had gone just 2-for-13 with no extra-base hits in his first four games since he was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he slashed .326/.415/.478 with three homers and eight steals in 24 games.

Osuna is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The Tigers are opening the game with a lefty (Tyler Holton) and could call upon another southpaw in Brant Hurter to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen, so the left-handed-hitting Osuna will be left out of the lineup Sunday. Andrew McCutchen will pick up the start in left field in place of Osuna, who has gone 4-for-16 (.250 average) with one double, two RBI, two runs and a 4:4 BB:K in eight games since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock on April 22.

Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Hays has started just twice in the White Sox's ensuing six games. Even with Everson Pereira (pectoral) landing on the IL on Wednesday, Hays looks like he may be limited to a part-time role in the Chicago outfield while he's struggled to a .233/.250/.326 slash line through 44 plate appearances on the season.
