Outman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Outman had started the previous three games, going 0-for-8 with six strikeouts and one walk during that stretch. Though two of those starts came against left-handed pitching, Outman will take a seat Sunday while the Guardians send southpaw Joey Cantillo to the bump.

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

Taylor will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started in center field the last three games while going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts. Brooks Baldwin will step in for Taylor in center field Sunday.

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

Tauchman will get a rare day off against a righty (Michael King) after starting the last eight games. Dominic Fletcher will step in for Tauchman in right field and will bat ninth.

Robertson will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Robertson will make his fourth consecutive start -- all against right-handed pitchers -- despite mustering just two hits in 10 at-bats over the previous three contests. The 58-97 White Sox are seemingly in evaluation mode at this stage of the season and are giving Robertson an opportunity to prove he belongs in the big leagues, even though Andrew Benintendi is likely viewed as the team's primary option in left field heading into 2026.

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

Though he's not dealing with any reported injury, Benintendi will take a seat for the fourth game in a row as the White Sox wrap up their final homestand of 2025. Under contract through 2027, Benintendi projects to handle a near-everyday role next season, but the White Sox look content to use the remaining few games of the 2025 campaign to evaluate other options in the corner outfield.

O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

O'Neill will sit for the second time this weekend as the Orioles continue to manage his workload following his return from the 10-day injured list Sept. 12. Since being activated, O'Neill has gone 2-for-19 with five walks, two stolen bases, one RBI and one run in six games.

Langford (side) is batting second and starting in left field Sunday against Miami.

Langford was held out of the lineup both Friday and Saturday while dealing with left side tightness, though he was able to enter Saturday's contest as a pinch runner. That served as a precursor to his return to the lineup Sunday. Langford will try to turn around what has been a rough September, as he's batting a meager .170 with one homer and four RBI through 16 games this month.

Duran went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over Tampa Bay.

After Duran helped win a game Friday with a two-run HR, he used his legs Saturday. He scored the game's first run in the third inning when he singled, stole second, then advanced to third and again to home on wild pitches by Rays starter Adrian Houser. The stolen base was Duran's 24th and the run scored his 84th of the season. Now that he's back in the leadoff spot, Duran could be good source of steals and runs over the final week of the regular season.

Caglianone (elbow) is starting in right field and batting eighth Sunday against Toronto.

Caglianone made an early exit from Saturday's contest after being hit by a pitch on the right elbow in the seventh inning, but he appears to have emerged without a serious injury. The rookie outfielder had a five-game hitting streak snapped upon his departure, but he's been hitting well of late, posting a .911 OPS with two homers and six RBI over his past six contests.

Langford (side) entered Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins in the ninth inning as a pinch runner.

Langford was held out of starting lineups Friday and Saturday due to tightness in his side. The Rangers believe running the bases wouldn't impact the injury as other baseball activities might, like twisting his body in the field or swinging a bat. However, Saturday's activity is a positive sign that Langford could return to the starting nine Sunday.
