Noel is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 3 of the ALDS against the Tigers, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. Noel started each of the first two games of the series but went 0-for-4 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. In Game 3 he will yield right field to Will Brennan, who is batting seventh for the Guardians.

Noel is starting in right field and batting seventh Saturday against Detroit in Game 1 of the ALDS. Will Brennan got the start in right field in two of the Guardians' final three regular-season games, but Noel is getting the call for the first game of the ALDS against the Tigers. Detroit is slated to use left-hander Tyler Holton as the opener in the contest, and righty Reese Olson is expected to follow in bulk relief. Noel batted .246 against southpaws and just .205 versus righties during the regular season.

Noel is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins. Noel will take a seat against a right-handed pitcher (Pablo Lopez) for the second day in a row and may have lost hold of an everyday role in right field while he's struggled to a .125/.176/.250 slash line with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate thus far in September. The lefty-hitting Will Brennan will get the nod in right field Monday and could be set to occupy the strong side of platoon with Noel over the final two weeks of the regular season.

Noel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. Noel has opened September by going 2-for-14 with five strikeouts and no walks, and his downward-trending performance at the dish appears to have cost him a regular spot in the Cleveland lineup. He'll hit the bench Sunday for the fourth time in five contests, with each of those absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers.

Noel is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rangers. Noel had started each of the last four games and eight of the last nine, but he will begin Friday's series opener on the bench. Will Brennan is occupying right field for the Guardians.
