The Twins placed Buxton on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hip impingement.

The veteran outfielder has dealt with the hip impingement for much of the season and will return to the IL on Sunday after sitting out four straight games. It was previously reported that Buxton could require offseason surgery to address the injury, so it's possible he will be shut down for the season if he doesn't show enough improvement soon. Top prospect Walker Jenkins should continue to operate as Minnesota's primary center fielder.

San Diego placed Rengifo on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right knee sprain.

Rengifo was removed early from Saturday's game against the Rays after spraining his right knee in the seventh inning. The injury will require the 29-year-old to miss a minimum of 10 days. Since joining the Padres in late June, Rengifo has slashed .291/.375/.409 over 145 plate appearances with four homers, three steals, 17 RBI and 19 runs. Samad Taylor (oblique) was activated from the IL to replace Rengifo on the active roster.

McCray went 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 7-2 win over Arizona in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

McCray didn't play in the matinee but hit a leadoff single in the fifth inning of the nightcap before coming around to score, giving the Giants a 2-1 lead. The 25-year-old outfielder has recorded a hit in three of his last four games, batting .214 with a triple and a double in 15 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .118/.237/.235 with eight runs scored, four stolen bases, two RBI and a home run across 62 plate appearances this season.

The Padres activated Taylor (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Taylor will make his first appearance in the majors since going down with a right oblique strain July 8. In 102 major-league plate appearances this year, the 27-year-old is batting .330/.410/.398 with one homer, 11 RBI and six stolen bases. San Diego transferred Luis Rengifo (knee) to the injured list, making room for Taylor on the active roster.

The Twins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Gonzalez will get his second stint with the big-league club in 2026 after appearing in one game against Boston in late May. With St. Paul, the 22-year-old has a slash line of .254/.318/.423 with 15 homers and 51 RBI over 444 plate appearances this season. The Twins sent Byron Buxton (hip) to the injured list in a corresponding move.

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

The veteran outfielder started the previous 13 games against right-handed pitching but will hit the bench Sunday against Colorado righty Mason Adams. Yastrzemski has slumped hard since Aug. 14, as he's batting .156 (5-for-32) with no extra-base hits and 10 strikeouts.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's affair with the Padres.

As San Diego sends out southpaw Robbie Ray, the left-handed hitter will take a seat. Jonny DeLuca will slide over to center field in place of Mullins.

Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

It's the fourth straight absence for Buxton, who continues to manage right hip discomfort. The 32-year-old is considered day-to-day for now, but an IL stint could be in store if he misses much more time. Top prospect Walker Jenkins is picking up a third consecutive start in center field Sunday for the Twins.

The Red Sox reinstated Anthony (finger) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports. He is batting leadoff as the designated hitter against the Yankees.

Anthony has been sidelined since early May due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger, but he's been deemed ready to rejoin the Red Sox after posting a .967 OPS during an eight-game rehab assignment. The 22-year-old had yet to get on track in 30 contests prior to the injury, as he had a .229/.354/.321 slash line in his first 130 plate appearances of the season. Anthony should operate as Boston's primary designated hitter now that he's healthy but could also get some reps in the outfield.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Royals.

Martinez gave the Guardians an early lead, belting a two-run homer in the second inning, and then singled in an insurance run in the bottom of the ninth. Chase DeLauter, who served as the designated hitter the last two days, is dealing with a nagging hamstring issue, which could open up playing time. Martinez is enjoying his best season in the majors, posting a .712 OPS along with 13 home runs, 48 RBI and 11 steals across 94 games and 341 plate appearances.
