  • Brandon Marsh LF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Exiting starting nine Sunday

    Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game with the Angels.

    With the Angels sending left-hander Yusei Kikuchi to the mound, Marsh will take a seat. Bryan De La Cruz will man left field and bat sixth for the Phillies.

  • Phillies' Justin Crawford: Out versus lefty

    Crawford is absent from the lineup for Philadelphia's game with the Angels on Sunday.

    With southpaw Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for the Angels, Crawford will ride the pine as the Phillies go for a sweep Sunday. Derek Hill will take over in center field and bat ninth.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Receiving day off

    Holiday is out of the lineup for Sunday's affair with the A's.

    With southpaw Jeffrey Springs on the mound for the Athletics, the left-handed-hitting Holliday will receive a breather for the final game of a three-game set. Blaze Alexander will lead off and play second base for Baltimore.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Basallo (hand) is absent from the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Athletics.

    After being removed early from Saturday's game with a right hand injury, Basallo will sit out Sunday's series finale in Sacramento. Pete Alonso will act as the designated hitter and bat second, while Carlos Narvaez will handle catching duties and bat eighth for Baltimore.

  • Nick Davila RP | SEA

    Mariners' Nick Davila: Brought up to Seattle

    The Mariners recalled Davila from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

    After recently being optioned Aug. 21, Davila will rejoin the big-league club as they wrap up a pivotal three-game set in Toronto. The 27-year-old has appeared in 23 MLB games this season, registering a 4.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB over 26.1 innings. Seattle sent Emerson Hancock (groin) to the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Transferred to 15-day IL

    Seattle placed Hancock (groin) on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left adductor strain, retroactive to Aug. 29.

    Hancock felt something off in his left leg early on in his most recent start Friday against Toronto. The 27-year-old went on to take the loss after allowing five runs over five innings. The right-hander will miss a minimum of 15 days and a couple of starts for Seattle. The Mariners recalled Nick Davila from Triple-A Tacoma to fill in for Hancock on the 26-man roster.

  • Gavin Sheets 1B | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Shelved with left foot sprain

    San Diego placed Sheets on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left foot sprain.

    Sheets will make his first trip to the IL this season. The 30-year-old has been struggling over his last 30 games, slashing just .179/.296/.269 with two homers and six RBI over 78 plate appearances. San Diego recalled Sung-Mun Song from Triple-A El Paso to replace Sheets on the 26-man roster.

  • Byron Buxton CF | MIN

    Twins' Byron Buxton: Moves to injured list

    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.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Padres' Luis Rengifo: Lands on IL

    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.

  • Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Promoted to Padres

    San Diego recalled Song from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

    Song will rejoin the big-league club just six days after being optioned to El Paso. In 134 plate appearances in the majors, the 29-year-old is slashing .202/.305/.263 with one homer, 15 RBI and 12 stolen bases this season. The Padres sent Gavin Sheets (foot) to the injured list to open a slot on the active roster for Song. He will man the hot corner and bat ninth Sunday against Tampa Bay.
