Freeman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

After going 7-for-25 (.280 average) with two doubles and three RBI while starting in each of the last seven games, Freeman will get a breather for the series opener in Houston. Dylan Moore will get the nod at second base at Freeman's expense.

Altuve (foot) will start at second base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Altuve was held out for Sunday's 8-3 loss to Atlanta after he was still experiencing soreness on the bottom of his right foot following his early exit a day earlier, but the one start off appears to have provided sufficient healing time for the 35-year-old. The Astros' decision to use him at second base rather than at designated hitter in his return to the lineup supports the notion that he's feeling healthy heading into a six-game homestand against the Rangers and Mariners this week.

Triple-A Columbus placed Bazzana on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to left flank soreness.

Bazzana suffered the injury Thursday and will miss the final week of the Triple-A season, but because the Guardians are labeling the issue as a sore flank, the 23-year-old shouldn't require as much recovery time as he needed for the internal right oblique strain that kept him out for nearly two months earlier in 2025. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft had a rough introduction to the Triple-A level upon his promotion from Double-A Akron on Aug. 11, but he had settled in nicely in September, slashing .290/.421/.742 with four home runs over his final nine games with Columbus.

Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Mariners.

This was Moore's second game in the lineup since getting recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. He hit just .175 with 15 strikeouts over 10 games during his stint in the minors, but it looks like he'll get the chance to reclaim a starting job at second base to close out 2025 in the majors. For the season, he's at a .192/.285/.350 slash line with five homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored, two doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 138 plate appearances at the big-league level.

Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

For the second day in a row, Rengifo will take a seat in favor of rookie Christian Moore, who will cover second base and bat fifth in the series finale. At 69-80, the Angels are effectively eliminated from playoff contention, so it wouldn't be surprising if the club moved Rengifo into a utility role over the final two weeks in order to open up regular playing time for Moore, who is viewed as the organization's long-term future at the keystone.

Gelof is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Darell Hernaiz will slide over from his usual post at third base to cover the keystone in place of Gelof, who had started in every game since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 25. In the three weeks following his promotion, Gelof is hitting .230 with two home runs, one steal, eight runs and six RBI while striking out at a 43.9 percent clip over 17 games.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Frazier picked up starts in left field in the first two games of the series and went 2-for-8 between those contests, but he'll take a seat for the final contest in Philadelphia. Michael Massey will fill in for Frazier in left field and will bat sixth.

Altuve (foot) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, and manager joe Espada said that the 35-year-old is still feeling "pretty sore" as he continues to be evaluated by team doctors, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 35-year-old exited Saturday's 6-2 win due to right foot discomfort and continues to manage the injury Sunday. Altuve will miss at least one start, and it remains to be seen if he'll be available off the bench for the series finale. Yordan Alvarez will serve as Houston's designated hitter Sunday, and Zach Cole will pick up a start in left field.

Freeman started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

After leading off the top of ninth inning with a single, Freeman was replaced by a pinch runner (Dustin Harris) that eventually scored the game-winning run. The start at second base was the fourth consecutive for Freeman, who has been part of the rotation replacing an injured Marcus Semien (foot), which includes Dylan Moore and Ezequiel Duran. Freeman has also helped out in right field due to Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) being on the mend. Since being called up to Texas in August, Freeman's slashed .235/.254/.353 with two home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored over 20 games.

Jimenez (undisclosed) went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run in his return to action for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Jimenez spent just over a month on the shelf at Triple-A due to the unspecified injury. The 24-year-old infielder maintains a spot on Toronto's 40-man roster but has logged just 32 plate appearances at the big-league level this season.
