Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Gets Day Off On Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive July 31.

Rhys Hoskins Remains Out On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has not played since July 29 due to a tweaked groin.

Giancarlo Stanton On The Bench Sunday

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
