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

Duran has gone 3-for-37 with a 3:13 BB:K over his last 10 games, so the Red Sox will spare the left-handed-hitting outfielder from a matchup with a southpaw starter (Carlos Rodon) while he's stuck in an extended rut at the dish. Nate Eaton will replace Duran in left field and will bat leadoff.

Mendez (shoulder) has gone 3-for-6 with an RBI in two games for Triple-A St. Paul since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Mendez missed just over two weeks of action due to a left shoulder impingement. The 22-year-old outfielder is slashing .314/.408/.485 with eight home runs and four stolen bases over 54 games between St. Paul and Double-A Wichita this season.

The Red Sox transferred Anthony (finger/wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

The 22-year-old has already been shelved nearly two months due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. Interim manager Chad Tracy said Wednesday that Anthony hasn't made significant progress in his recovery recently, so the outfielder is likely to be out through at least the All-Star break.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Though he'll hit the bench while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Giants, Yastrzemski still appears to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield. Yastrzemski has been seeing most of his starts in right field of late but should slide over to left field on a more regular basis once Ronald Acuna (hamstring) eventually returns from the injured list.

White is starting in right field for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Though he'll draw a start Sunday while lefty Robbie Ray toes the rubber for the Giants, the right-handed-hitting White has seen his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching dwindle of late. Atlanta has used Ha-Seong Kim at shortstop in its past two matchups versus righties, resulting in Mauricio Dubon moving into a corner-outfield spot and bumping White from the lineup on both occasions.

Gilbert is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Gilbert will be on the bench for the third time in four games and appears likely to move into a fourth- or fifth-outfielder role after the Giants welcomed Heliot Ramos (quadriceps) back from the injured list Sunday. Since the start of June, Gilbert has gotten on base at a .381 clip but hasn't hit for average (.208) or power (.271 slugging percentage) and has gone 0-for-3 on stolen-base attempts.

Lee will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Though he could wind up seeing most of his playing time in center field while Harrison Bader (foot) is on the shelf, Lee stick in a corner spot Sunday after the Giants made a late change to their lineup for the series finale versus Atlanta. Jonah Cox was added to the lineup in center field in response to left fielder Casey Schmitt (illness) being scratched from the starting nine.

Schmitt was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies due to an illness, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt was penciled in to start in left field and bat third but will instead receive a day off due to an ailment. Jonah Cox will replace him in the lineup and man center field, pushing Jung Hoo Lee to right and Victor Bericoto to left.

Siri is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Siri returned from the paternity list Saturday but has been left out of the lineup for the Angels' final two games of the weekend. Though he had been serving as the team's everyday outfielder in place of the injured Mike Trout (hamstring) prior to going on paternity leave, Siri may now have to play second fiddle at the position to Josh Lowe. Since being called up from Triple-A Salt lake when Siri was deactivated Wednesday, Lowe has gone 4-for-10 with a stolen base and a run.

The Rockies reinstated Beck (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

With no room for him in their crowded outfield, the Rockies will keep the 25-year-old in the minors after he recovered from a hamstring strain. Before being shelved May 18, Beck contributed a .183/.227/.305 slash line with one home run and two stolen bases over 88 big-league plate appearances while mostly serving as a short-side platoon player.
