Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Cronenworth started the past 32 contests and will head to the bench after he posted a .235/.299/.403 slash line with four home runs, 21 RBI and 14 runs during that stretch. He'll sit for the penultimate game of the regular season while Brandon Drury covers the keystone.

Tellez is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates.

Tellez, who leads the Brewers this season with 34 home runs in 152 games, will get a breather the day after the Brewers were mathematically eliminated from the playoff picture. Keston Hiura will start at first base and hit fifth.

Hoskins is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Several Phillies regulars are out of the lineup following Monday night's playoff-clincher and subsequent celebrations. Darick Hall will start at first base and hit third.

Bohm will start at third base and bat fifth Monday against the Astros.

Bohm had primarily served as the Phillies' No. 3 batter coming out of the All-Star break, but he's largely batted out of the No. 5 spot over the past three weeks, with Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto jumping him in the order. The 26-year-old could be in line for an off day Tuesday or Wednesday if the Phillies are able to clinch a wild-card spot Monday with a win or a Brewers loss to the Diamondbacks.

Tellez isn't starting Monday against Arizona.

Tellez's .649 OPS against left-handed pitching means he will begin Monday's matchup against Tommy Henry in the dugout. Keston Hiura will instead cover first base and bat seventh.

Higgins isn't starting Monday against the Reds.

Higgins went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Sunday against Cincinnati and will retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Alfonso Rivas is starting at first base and batting seventh.

Olson went 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Olson went yard in all three contests of Atlanta's series with New York, giving him five long balls in his last six games. After a rough first three and a half weeks of September, Olson closed the month on a hot note and has carried over that success to early October. He secured the third 30-homer campaign in the process and now sits at 33 heading into Atlanta's final series of the regular season in Miami this week.

Walker went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

Walker was on the back end of a double-steal in the 10th inning, which earned him his second stolen base of the campaign. The first baseman isn't renowned for his speed, as he's produced just 12 stolen bases and five triples in his major-league career. He's been much better as a power bat this year, posting an .802 OPS, .240 batting average, 36 home runs, 93 RBI and 83 runs scored through 157 contests.

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Goldschmidt is for 2-for-5 with two doubles and two walks against opposing starter Roansy Contreras, but manager Oliver Marmol decided to hold him out with the postseason on the horizon. Albert Pujols will start at first base in Goldschmidt's place.

Steer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Steer started the past eight games and will head to the bench after he hit .207 with a solo home run and three additional runs scored during that stretch. Alejo Lopez will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale.
