Torkelson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run during a 9-6 loss in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Torkelson delivered his sixth three-hit game of the season with singles in the third and fifth innings and a solo home run in the sixth. The trio of hits snapped a 23 at-bat hitless stretch over the 23-year-old's previous seven contests as the top prospect has endured a rough ending to what has been a disappointing rookie season. Torkelson is slashing .204/.285/.607 with eight home runs, 37 runs and 28 RBI in 109 games.

Interim manager Miguel Cairo said Abreu won't start Wednesday's season finale against the Twins, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Abreu went 1-for-3 with a double and a run during Tuesday's 8-3 win, and it will apparently be his final start of 2022. Through 156 games this year he has a .304/.378/.446 slash line with 40 doubles, 15 home runs, 75 RBI and 85 runs in 157 games. The veteran first baseman is finishing up his ninth season with the White Sox but is slated to hit free agency during the offseason.

Clemens is starting at third base and batting sixth in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

After appearing as a pinch runner in the first game, Clemens will start at third base in the nightcap, with Jeimer Candelario shifting to DH. Clemens hasn't done much this season with just a .483 OPS across 55 games.

France is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

France went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run during Game 1 and will head to the bench for the nightcap. Carlos Santana will shift to first base while Cal Raleigh serves as the designated hitter.

Rizzo is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers.

Rizzo went 0-for-3 during Game 1 and will take a seat for the nightcap. DJ LeMahieu will move to first base while Oswaldo Cabrera covers the keystone for New York.

Vaughn isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Vaughn has been going through a slump lately, hitting just .081 over the last two weeks. He will sit out Tuesday's contest in favor of AJ Pollock in left, allowing Adam Engel to start in center field and bat ninth.

Mountcastle is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle is hitting .263 with four runs and four RBI over the last 10 games. Jesus Aguilar draws a rare start at first base while Anthony Santander gets the nod at designated hitter.

Casas is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rays.

Casas will head to the bench with southpaw Jeffrey Springs on the hill for the Rays. Eric Hosmer is starting at first base and batting seventh.

Diaz will lead off and play third base Tuesday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The start will be just Diaz's second since Sept. 19. He's battled shoulder soreness during that time, with his lone start during that period coming as a designated hitter. The fact that he's now ready to take the field seemingly bodes well for his availability for the postseason.

Naylor is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Royals.

Naylor has only started against a lefty once in the last three weeks, and he heads to the bench here with southpaw Daniel Lynch on the mound for Kansas City. Owen Miller gets the start at first base, hitting sixth.
