  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Left out of lineup Sunday

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

    After starting the last five games and going 3-for-16 with one home run, one double, two walks, three runs and two RBI, Frazier will receive a breather. The Royals will go with Michael Massey at second base and Randal Grichuk in left field in the series finale.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Gimenez started the previous 20 games and will receive a day off after posting a .185/.243/.292 slash line during that stretch. Davis Schneider is manning the keystone in Sunday's series finale for Toronto.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Pops two-run double in win

    Schneemann started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. He was also caught stealing.

    Schneemann was integral to the win, which vaulted Cleveland above Tampa Bay in the postseason chase. He popped a two-run, bases-loaded double to left-center to put the Guardians on top in the fourth inning. He later led off the ninth with a single and scored the game-winning run. The offense came out of nowhere for Schneemann, who entered the contest on a 1-for-25 skid over the previous eight games.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting Sunday

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    The Orioles will give Holliday a couple of days to catch his breath with a team day off coming Monday. Holliday had made 12 consecutive starts at second base, but he'll yield to Luis Vazquez on Sunday.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Belts 15th homer

    Torres went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the White Sox.

    The second baseman capped a five-run fourth inning for the Tigers by lofting a Martin Perez changeup over the left-field fence. Torres is up to 15 homers on the year, reaching that mark for a fourth straight season, and he remains on course for a career-high OBP with a .261/.363/.399 slash line through 127 contests.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sparks comeback with homer

    Holliday went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

    Holliday broke up Yoshinobu Yamamoto's no-hit bid with a two-out solo homer in the bottom of the ninth, kickstarting a comeback win by the Orioles. The 21-year-old has now hit safely in eight of his past nine games, collecting six extra-base hits, four RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .248/.316/.394 with 17 home runs, 53 RBI, 65 runs scored and 15 steals across 579 plate appearances.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Out of Friday's starting lineup

    Urias is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Rangers on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Urias has started in each of Houston's last four games, but he went 0-for-10 with one RBI and six strikeouts during the Astros' three-game home series against the Yankees. He'll be on the bench for the start of Friday's contest while Jose Altuve starts at the keystone and Yordan Alvarez serves as the designated hitter.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Not in Friday's starting lineup

    Dubon is not in Houston's starting lineup against Texas on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Dubon will be on the bench for the beginning of Friday's contest while Jesus Sanchez, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith start in the outfield from left to right. Dubon has a .503 OPS with eight runs, three doubles, one homer and five RBI in 93 plate appearances since the beginning of August.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Good to go Friday

    Chisholm (knees) is in the starting lineup and batting sixth for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Chisholm was removed from Thursday's game versus Houston in the fourth inning due to bruised knees. Testing after the game came back clean, and Chisholm apparently feels good enough to play in Friday's American League East showdown with Toronto. Chisholm has a .938 OPS over the last 30 days.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Getting breather Friday

    Sosa is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Tigers.

    It looks to be a routine day off for Sosa, who had started each of the previous 11 tilts. Curtis Mead will cover first base in Sosa's stead.
