Montes (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

The 21-year-old Montes departed Friday's contest due to left hip soreness and is on the bench Sunday for a second consecutive game. He's guaranteed another day of rest since the Mariners have a team day off Monday. Dominic Canzone is manning right field for Seattle while Cal Raleigh rests his legs as the designated hitter.

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

Heim started the past six games and will receive Sunday off after going 6-for-25 (.240 average) with two doubles and a solo homer during that stretch. Brian Serven will step in behind the plate and bat ninth in the series finale at Seattle.

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

Clarke went 0-for-4 in Saturday's contest and will hit the bench Sunday for the third time in six games since coming off the injured list Tuesday. Henry Bolte will shift to center field while Carlos Cortes and Lawrence Butler start in left and right, respectively.

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

The left-handed-hitting Carter will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Rays send another lefty starter (Ian Seymour) to the bump. Ezequiel Duran will spell Carter in center field and will bat leadoff.

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

The left-handed-hitting Pederson will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Rays send another lefty starter (Ian Seymour) to the bump. Logan O'Hoppe will enter the starting nine in place of Pederson as the Rangers' designated hitter.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

After starting in each of the last four games, the left-handed-hitting Mullins will retreat to the bench while southpaw MacKenzie Gore toes the rubber for the Rangers. Jonny DeLuca will spell Mullins in center field and will bat sixth.

Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Walls will hit the bench for the series finale after he went 0-for-6 with a walk while starting in both of the past two contests. Jorge Mateo will cover shortstop in place of Walls.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Nelson Velazquez will enter the starting nine in place of the left-handed-hitting Trammell, who will hit the bench while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez takes the hill for Arizona. Trammell had been included in the lineup in each of Houston's last five games, going 4-for-15 with three doubles, two walks, one stolen base and one run.

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

The Royals will give Massey a break while Nick Loftin fills in for him at second base. Massey had started in each of the Royals' last four games, going 5-for-14 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and an RBI following his return from the 7-day concussion injured list.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Grisham has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain and is without a definitive recovery timetable but "could be" out for the remainder of the regular season, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Grisham might have had a chance at returning from the injured list when first eligible Sept. 15 if he was tending to a Grade 1 strain, but the moderate-grade strain likely takes a minimum-length stay on the shelf off the table. While Grisham is out, Spencer Jones appears likely to shift over from a corner spot to serve as the Yankees' primary center fielder. Heliot Ramos and Jasson Dominguez should see more opportunities in the corner outfield as a result, though both will lose out on playing time once Aaron Judge (rib) returns from the IL, perhaps as soon as the upcoming week.
