The Giants reinstated Ramos (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat third in the Giants' series finale versus Atlanta.

The 26-year-old worked as San Francisco's primary left fielder prior to suffering a quadriceps strain in mid-May, but he's now expected to work more in right field since Jung Hoo Lee has shifted to center to cover for the injured Harrison Bader (foot). Through 176 plate appearances this season, Ramos has a .267/.307/.424 slash line with four home runs, 20 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Soderstrom (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Soderstrom will receive some maintenance for his sore left hip after striking out in his lone at-bat Saturday before the Athletics lifted him in the bottom of the third inning. Manager Mark Kotsay said Soderstrom was scheduled for a re-evaluation Sunday, after which the Athletics should have a better idea whether the 24-year-old's hip issue is a day-to-day concern or something that will require a trip to the injured list. The Athletics will go with Colby Thomas as their starter in left field during the series finale in Anaheim.

The Guardians optioned Halpin to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old was called up by Cleveland in mid-June and played 10 games during this stint in the majors, going 4-for-23 with a triple, five runs and eight strikeouts. Halpin is heading back to Columbus to clear space for the return of Chase DeLauter (rib) from the injured list.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Sunday that Langford (hamstring) will remain on the 10-day injured list through the All-Star break, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Langford will be eligible to come off the IL on July 7, but rather than rushing him back on the field for the final week of the first half, the Rangers will keep him out through the break to provide more time for his strained let hamstring to heal. Evan Carter was reinstated from the 10-day IL on Sunday in a corresponding move and will settle back in as the Rangers' primary center fielder, while Langford's absence should give Alejandro Osuna a longer leash as the team's main option in left field.

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

Taveras has maintained a .248/.324/.363 slash line (95 wRC+) to go with two home runs and nine stolen bases across 260 plate appearances on the season, giving the Orioles adequate production while the team has navigated numerous injuries. However, with Adley Rutschman (concussion) and Dylan Beavers (oblique) returning from the injured list Sunday, Taveras seems headed for a fourth outfielder role. Baltimore will go with Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser and Beavers as its starting outfield trio Sunday.

Caglianone was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox due to left groin soreness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

It's unclear when exactly Caglianone sustained the injury, though he's been scuffling at the plate over the past four games, going 1-for-15 with a walk, a triple and eight strikeouts. The 23-year-old will miss at least one start while he tends to the injury.

Mitchell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

The Brewers will hold Mitchell out of the starting nine for a second straight day while the Cubs have a southpaw (Ryan Rolison) open the game and another left-hander (Jordan Wicks) on hand to pitch in bulk relief. Jackson Chourio will draw the start in center field in place of the resting Mitchell.

Walker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Walker will head to the bench for the first time since April 22 in what appears to be a routine off day. Lars Nootbaar will shift over from left field to make the start in right field in place of Walker, who has enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2026 with a .290/.343/.516 slash line, 18 home runs, 10 steals, 58 RBI and 47 runs through 79 games.

The Royals scratched Caglianone from the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox without specifying a reason, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Caglianone had been slated to bat third and start in right field, but the Royals pulled him from the lineup about an hour and a half before game time. The team is expected to provide an explanation behind Caglianone's removal later Sunday, but Kameron Misner will get the nod in right field in his stead. Caglianone had been dialed in at the dish for much of June, producing a .322/.402/.678 slash line on the month while slugging nine of his 14 home runs on the season.

Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians due to elbow discomfort, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Though he played the full nine innings while going 0-for-3 with a walk over four plate appearances Saturday, Raley reportedly tweaked his elbow on a swing at some point during the contest. The Mariners will give him at least one game off to rest, clearing the way for Victor Robles to pick up a start in right field.
