The Tigers promoted Clark from High-A West Michigan to Double-A Erie on Sunday.

Clark will move up to Double-A after slashing .285/.430/.427 with seven home runs and 12 stolen bases over 68 games with West Michigan. The 20-year-old outfielder will make the jump to Erie along with two of the Tigers' other top prospects in shortstop Kevin McGonigle and catcher Josue Briceno.

Caglianone went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a steal and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 victory at Arizona.

The Kansas City rookie notched his first career steal off Arizona starter Anthony DeSclafani in the fifth inning after reaching on a hit-by-pitch. Caglianone hadn't been much of a speed threat prior to joining the Royals, as he swiped only four bags across 79 minor-league games before his promotion. The 22-year-old has struggled mightily in his first taste of the big leagues with just two homers and a .148/.200/.241 slash line across 115 plate appearances.

Meyers exited Sunday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers in the bottom of the sixth inning due to right calf tightness, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Meyers was removed from the game because the team wanted to be "cautious" with the outfielder, according to manager Joe Espada. Before leaving, Meyers went 1-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout. He can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against Cleveland.

Rafaela went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

Rafaela gave the Red Sox some insurance with his 407-foot blast off Andrew Chafin in the ninth inning, his third hit of the game and 11th homer this season. It's the third multi-hit performance in four games for Rafaela -- he's gone 8-for-17 (.471) with two homers and six extra-base hits in that span. Overall, the 24-year-old outfielder is batting .264 with a .763 OPS, 50 runs scored, 38 RBI and 11 steals across 319 plate appearances this year.

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

Taylor was on the bench Thursday after sustaining a left trap contusion a night earlier, but he returned to the lineup for the White Sox's first two games in Colorado, starting in left field and going 3-for-8 with a home run, a double and four RBI. Though the absence of Luis Robert (hamstring) leaves an everyday role available in the outfield, Taylor may have to share playing time in center with Brooks Baldwin, who will remain in the starting nine for a fourth straight contest.

Bader is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Bader will take a seat Sunday after starting the last four games and going 3-for-13 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk. The 31-year-old is a capable defensive outfielder, but his playing time may hinge on him providing more offense than infielder Brooks Lee, who appears to be his primary competition for the final spot in Minnesota's regular lineup. After coming off the bench in the previous two contests, Lee will rejoin the starting nine Sunday, handling second base while super-utility man Willi Castro shifts to left field.

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

The Guardians are going with a righty-heavy lineup to counter Tarik Skubal, so Jones will join Kyle Manzardo, Bo Naylor and Daniel Schneemann on the bench. Johnathan Rodriguez will replace Jones as the starting right fielder.

Lukes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

With lefty Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, Lukes will head to the bench after three straight starts, opening up center field for Myles Straw. Lukes and Straw will continue to platoon in center until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) is ready to return from the injured list.

Schneider will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Angels.

Schneider will remain in the lineup for the seventh game in a row, with five of his starts coming in left field and two at second base. Bo Bichette recently returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury, but Toronto placed Andres Gimenez (ankle) on the injured list Sunday, so there should still be playing time available, even if Schneider will likely split opportunities at the keystone with Leo Jimenez and Will Wagner. Since being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on June 1, Schneider has produced a .255/.367/.471 slash line with three home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs in 19 games.

The Blue Jays recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. He'll start in right field and bat eighth in the Blue Jays' series finale versus the Angels.

The 26-year-old has spent the first few months of the season at the Triple-A level, and he'll receive his first look in the majors of 2025 with Andres Gimenez (ankle) hitting the injured list in a corresponding move. Loperfido has a .278/.354/.422 slash line with six home runs and 10 steals in 76 games with Buffalo this season.
