Tauchman (lower body) will start in right field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Twins.

The veteran outfielder was held out of Saturday's 7-3 win as a precaution due to lower-body soreness, but he's good to go for Sunday's series finale versus Minnesota. Tauchman is in the midst of a modest five-game hit streak and has gone 7-for-22 (.318 average) with a double, three RBI and three runs during that stretch.

Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Carlson is out of the lineup for the third game in a row and looks to have moved into a reserve role while Jeremiah Jackson and Dylan Beavers get extended looks in outfield. Though Carlson had begun to show signs of life at the plate by going 9-for-27 (.333 average) with two home runs and a 5:8 BB:K in his last nine games, he's slashing just .206/.262/.344 over 195 plate appearances for Baltimore this season.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Sanchez and Jacob Melton will head to the bench while the Orioles send lefty Trevor Rogers to the bump. Mauricio Dubon will replace Sanchez in left field and bat seventh.

Melton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Melton and Jesus Sanchez will head to the bench while the Orioles send lefty Trevor Rogers to the bump. Chas McCormick will replace Melton in center field and bat ninth.

Mangum is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Mangum is a switch hitter, but he's been far more effective against right-handed pitching (.769 OPS in 228 plate appearances) than lefties (.451 OPS in 100 plate appearances) this season. He'll cede the start in center field to Everson Pereira while the Cardinals send Matthew Liberatore to the hill.

Anthony started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Yankees.

Anthony was back in the outfield after a one-game stint as the designated hitter Friday due to not feeling 100 percent, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Other than Friday's three-strikeout night, Anthony's first taste of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry in New York has gone well. The Red Sox have won the first three games, with Anthony providing a two-run home run Thursday to seal that win.

Robles went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

Robles saw his first big-league action since April 6, making his return from a shoulder fracture. He was off to a hot start at the plate prior to the injury, but he likely won't have much time to build momentum in the near future, as he's still facing a 10-game suspension for throwing his bat at a pitcher during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. Robles can continue to play until MLB rules on his appeal, and he figures to see time in right field while Dominic Canzone (arm) is bothered by an injury. Should Robles' suspension begin before Canzone is healthy, Luke Raley would likely be next in line for playing time in the corner outfield.

Arozarena went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

Arozarena hit his first homer since Aug. 7 versus the White Sox. He's been a bit spotty at the plate lately, going just 3-for-29 across his last seven games, though two of those knocks have gone for extra bases. On the year, Arozarena is up to a career-high 24 homers with 60 RBI, 75 runs scored, 24 stolen bases and a .238/.338/.443 slash line across 128 games.

Soderstrom went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Soderstrom's 10-game hitting streak came to a close, but it wasn't a totally wasted effort for him. The steal was his first since July 19 versus the Guardians. He's up to seven thefts on nine attempts this season, so don't expect speed to be a huge part of his game down the stretch. Soderstrom has added a strong .271/.347/.477 slash line with 23 home runs, 74 RBI, 65 runs scored, 25 doubles and one triple through 130 contests.

Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 12-1 loss to the Cubs.

Adell had the Angels' only multi-hit effort in this contest. The outfielder's career year has him on the cusp of a 30-homer campaign -- he's at 29 long balls now, including eight over 20 games in August. He's added a middling .236/.299/.486 slash line with 79 RBI, 50 runs scored and three stolen bases through 122 contests overall, which has still been enough production to maintain a starting role in the Angels' outfield.
