Moore went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

Moore has gone 7-for-23 (.304) with eight RBI over his last seven games. The infielder has also struck out nine times in that span, but he has turned things around after a slump in mid-September. For the season, he's hitting just .186 with a .516 OPS, two homers, 18 RBI, four runs scored, four doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 139 plate appearances. With a 33.8 percent strikeout rate in the majors this year, Moore has failed to demonstrate a more patient approach at the plate, which has kept his overall offense limited.

Meidroth is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies due to left hamstring discomfort, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Manager Will Venable downplayed the issue, saying that the 25-year-old is available off the bench. However, Meidroth is reportedly playing through a variety of injuries, and with Chicago now locked into the playoffs, it wouldn't be surprising to see him receive additional rest over the final weekend of the regular season.

Meidroth is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Meidroth has been running hot lately, collecting multiple hits in each of his last three games and slashing .385/.429/.615 over his last 10 games. However, he will get a breather Friday as the White Sox go with Sam Antonacci at second base and Randal Grichuk in left field against right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano.

Torres is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Pirates.

It's the second game in a row and the ninth time this month that Torres has been absent from the lineup. The 29-year-old is an impending free agent and the Tigers have been eliminated from postseason contention, so Torres could continue to see limited reps in the final weekend of the regular season. Detroit has Hao-Yu Lee at second base and Eduardo Valencia at designated hitter Friday.

Chisholm is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

Chisholm will rest up during the first game before likely returning to the Yankees' lineup during the nightcap. It will be Jose Caballero handling second base and batting ninth during Friday's matinee.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

McNeil ended a 15-game power drought with his third-inning blast off Peter Lambert. It had been six games without an extra-base hit or a multi-effort for McNeil. He's now batting .267 with a .690 OPS, nine homers, 23 doubles, 59 RBI, 51 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 141 contests.

Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Chisholm has gone 2-for-6 with two walks, a run and a steal across his first two games since returning from the injured list, and the Yankees will now give him a day to rest as they prepare to face left-hander Ian Seymour. Anthony Volpe will get the nod at second base and bat seventh.

Walton went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Walton has gone 11-for-38 (.289) with four homers and 10 RBI over his last 13 games. While he's still not playing on a full-time basis, he's put together a strong finish to the campaign. The utility man is batting .269 with an .834 OPS, nine homers, 32 RBI, 36 runs scored, 14 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases over 255 plate appearances this season.

Clemens is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Francisco.

The lefty-swinging Clemens has been an everyday player for the vast majority of the season for the Twins, but this will be his second straight time out of the lineup versus a lefty. Royce Lewis will handle second base for Minnesota.

Holliday will undergo left wrist surgery next week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Holliday is dealing with a triangular fibrocartilage complex tear in the wrist. The current estimate points to Holliday needing 10 weeks to rehab, which would give him plenty of time to be ready ahead of spring training. Holliday was limited to only 98 games this season due to injury, slashing .229/.300/.340 in those contests.
