Devers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-6 loss to San Diego.

After hitting a grand slam in Friday's loss to the Padres, the veteran infielder launched a two-run homer off Michael King in the first inning. Devers has racked up eight home runs over his last 11 games, slashing .341/.471/1.024 with 20 RBI and 11 runs scored in 51 plate appearances during that span. On the campaign, he's slashing .258/.340/.525 with 98 RBI, 88 runs scored and 37 long balls across 633 plate appearances.

The Diamondbacks designated Gurriel for assignment Sunday.

The veteran slugger has started just three games since being reinstated from the injured list at the start of September, and Arizona has now elected to remove him from the 28-man and 40-man rosters. Gurriel has a .544 OPS with two homers in 201 plate appearances this season, which is the final guaranteed year of his contract. He has a $14 million club option with a $5 million buyout for 2027, which will likely guarantee that he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Orioles placed Bradish on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to lower-abdominal discomfort.

The right-hander surrendered five runs across three innings Saturday in Toronto and has a 6.95 ERA across his past five starts, spoiling what had been a mostly effective second half of the year. Bradish will be sidelined for the rest of the regular season but will be eligible to be reinstated for the start of the playoffs should the Orioles make it -- they're just three games back of the final wild-card spot.

The White Sox recalled Sandlin from Triple-A Charlotte to start Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The right-hander has a 6.93 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB across 24.2 innings for Chicago this season and will step onto a big-league mound Sunday for the first time since early August. It's likely just a spot start for Sandlin given that the rest of the rotation is currently in good health.

Caglianone (elbow) is batting third as the designated hitter Sunday against the Red Sox.

The 23-year-old was held out of the starting nine the past six games due to a flexor strain, but he'll return to the lineup Sunday after making a pinch-hit appearance in Saturday's contest. Caglianone is off to a slow start to September, going 4-for-18 with two doubles, four RBI and two runs through six games.

Alvarez (ankle) is batting second as the designated hitter Sunday against the Rays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 29-year-old slugger is rejoining the lineup for Sunday's series finale after sitting the past two contests due to a right ankle injury. Alvarez will look to shake off a slow start to September that has seen him post a .212/.350/.364 slash line with one homer through his first nine games of the month.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Ramirez is batting .111 (5-for-45) through his first 11 games of September and will hit the bench Sunday after starting the previous five contests. Angel Genao will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale at Minnesota.

Semien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The veteran second baseman started the previous nine games and will take a seat Sunday after posting a .242/.333/.333 slash line during that stretch. Brett Baty (knee) is returning from a two-game absence to man the keystone while Nick Morabito picks up a start in left field.

Walker (ankle) is starting in right field and batting cleanup Sunday against the White Sox.

The 24-year-old outfielder was held out of the lineup Saturday after exiting Friday's contest due to an ankle issue, but he's good to go for the series finale versus Chicago. Walker has been scuffling at the plate over his past seven games, going 3-for-23 with two walks, a double and eight strikeouts.

Tovar is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Tovar started the previous three contests and will hit the bench Sunday after going 3-for-8 with a walk, a solo homer and two additional runs scored during that span. Cole Carrigg will play shortstop in the series finale.
