Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

The left-handed-hitting Wade will hit the bench for the series finale while the Nationals send southpaw Mitchell Parker to the hill. Wade had been included in the lineup in each of the Angels' last six games -- five of which came against right-handed pitchers -- and went 4-for-19 with three walks, one stolen base and four runs.

Haggerty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Though he's on the bench against a right-handed pitcher (Luis Castillo) for the second day in a row, the switch-hitting Haggerty should benefit from an uptick in opportunities with Jake Burger (oblique), Wyatt Langford (oblique) and Joc Pederson (hand) all on the injured list. Alejandro Osuna has been serving as Langford's primary replacement in left field, but Haggerty could get most of the opportunities at designated hitter until the Rangers get healthy. Over his last 10 games, Haggerty has gone 9-for-29 (.310) with two extra-base hits, seven walks, seven runs, two RBI and three stolen bases.

Isbel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Lou Trivino is starting the game for the Dodgers as an opener before giving way to left-hander Justin Wrobleski, who will work in bulk relief. As a result, the Royals will keep Isbel on the bench for the series finale. Drew Waters will cover center field.

Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Giants.

Taylor had already started six straight games, but he should have a longer leash in the lineup after Luis Robert (hamstring) was placed on the injured list Sunday. The White Sox are likely to call up another outfielder to help fill in for Robert prior to Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. Taylor has been reasonably productive when called upon in June, slashing .255/.340/.447 with two home runs, one stolen base, eight runs and seven RBI in 22 games.

The White Sox placed Robert on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.

After being lifted from Wednesday's game due to what the White Sox labeled as hamstring tightness, Robert was out of the lineup for the next two contests before it was determined that he would require more down time. The White Sox will announce a corresponding roster move prior to Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. Robert will be eligible to return from the IL on July 6, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to go after a minimum-length stay on the shelf. Michael Taylor will start in center field Sunday against the Giants and is likely to serve as Robert's primary replacement for the duration of his stay on the IL.

Robert (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, and he'll be re-evaluated Monday before the White Sox determine whether he'll need to go on the injured list, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The center fielder hasn't seen the field since being removed from Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a hamstring injury, and the White Sox are reaching the point where an IL decision needs to be made in order to maintain roster flexibility. Prior to suffering the injury, Robert was in the midst of a 3-for-27 slump at the plate.

Straw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

After making four starts in center field over a five-game stretch from last Saturday through Thursday, Straw now finds himself on the bench for the second time in three contests. With Nathan Lukes getting more opportunities in center field since being activated from the injured list last weekend, Straw might have to settle for the short side of a platoon at the position until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) returns from the IL.

Lukes will start in center field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Since returning from the 7-day injured list June 20, Lukes has re-emerged as a regular in the Toronto lineup, starting in eight of the last nine games. He's gotten on base at a .351 clip this season and is capable of playing all three outfield spots, so Lukes could have a path to regular playing time against right-handed pitching until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) and Anthony Santander (shoulder) are back from the IL.

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

With southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the bump for the Cardinals, Jones will join fellow left-handed hitters Bo Naylor, Kyle Manzardo and Daniel Schneemann on the bench. Johnathan Rodriguez will replace Jones as the Guardians' starting right fielder.

Abreu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Abreu got the start in the Red Sox's most recent matchup against a lefty starter (Yusei Kikuchi) on Wednesday, but the outfielder will head to the bench Sunday against Eric Lauer. For the season, Abreu is slashing just .219/.324/.281 (73 wRC+) in 37 plate appearances versus lefties, so the Red Sox will keep him on the bench for those matchups more often than not.
