Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (back) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Schanuel will hit the bench for the second straight game in Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Center due to back stiffness, but it's not going to keep the 22-year-old out for much longer. Rookie Niko Kavadas will play first base on Sunday and hit eighth against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. As the Halos starting first baseman in 2024, Schanuel has provided mediocre production at the plate, batting .253/.348/.375 with a .723 OPS, 12 home runs, 41 RBI, four steals and 54 runs scored in 120 games in his first full MLB season. Kavadas has just one hit (a homer) in his first 24 plate appearances with three walks and 13 strikeouts in his first seven games this year for the Halos.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho and first baseman Spencer Horwitz will head to the bench ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Fantasy managers don't need to worry about an injury as these moves appear to be matchup related. Varsho has a nine-game hit streak that will be held on hold unless he comes off the bench. Joey Loperfido will cover center field and bat second against left-hander Tyler Anderson. The rookie outfielder is heating up at the plate with eight hits over his last four games. He's well worth a look as a streaming option for Sunday's slate. As for Horwitz, he'll take a seat after starting in each of the last seven games. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will cover first base and bat third, so fantasy managers should make sure to get him in their lineups.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The oft-injured infielder appears to be getting a routine rest day here. Rendon is having a down year at the plate, but he does have two hits in his last three games. The rebuilding Angels really have no incentive to push Rendon out there on a daily basis. In his place, Brandon Drury will cover third base and bat seventh versus right-hander Kevin Gausman. Drury has been horrible at the plate with a .155 batting average and 10 RBI in 73 games this season. Fantasy managers can look elsewhere for help on Sunday.

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (finger) will move over from the hot corner to designated hitter ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Rangers' manager Bruce Bochy told reporters that Jung is having issues throwing the ball right now due to a cut on his finger. That being said, Ezequiel Duran will play third base while Robbie Grossman goes from DH to left field. The expectation is that this is a minor injury and Jung should return to third base in a few days. The 26-year-old has missed a good chunk of the 2024 season but is hitting .255 with four home runs and nine RBI in 26 games thus far.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hand) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Harris was hit by a pitch in the left hand area during the first inning of Sunday's contest. Harris attempted to play through the issue, but he was subbed out for Jarred Kelenic. The assumption is that Harris will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. The 2024 season has been tough for Harris who has only been able to play in a little over 70 games. Hopefully, it's a minor injury and Harris can get back in the lineup within a few days. In the meantime, Kelenic figures to see increased playing time in the outfield. Kelenic is hitting .237 with 13 home runs and 39 RBI in 115 games this season. He could be worth a look in deep formats if Harris is forced to miss time.
