Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches three times in loss
Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.
Torres extended his hitting streak to four games, with the last three contests being multi-hit efforts. The Detroit infielder is now slashing .261/.366/.398 across 140 games this year, and he's been a key offensive performer in his first season with his new team. Torres should continue to slot in as the No. 2 hitter for the Tigers as they look to wrap up a playoff spot.

Mariners' Leo Rivas: Fading into reserve role
Rivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Rivas will be left out of the lineup for the third game in a row while the Mariners make an effort to get their best bats in the lineup. To that end, Jorge Polanco will once again cover second base, allowing Dominic Canzone to serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Victor Robles occupies right field.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Taking seat Sunday
Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Schneemann started both ends of Saturday's doubleheader when the Guardians went up against right-handed pitchers, going 1-for-9 with a solo home run and an additional run between the two contests. He'll sit against righty Simeon Woods Richardson on Sunday, opening up room in the lineup for George Valera.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Collects three hits Saturday
Torres went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.
All three hits were singles for Torres, who continues to do a good job of getting on base for Detroit. The infielder has six hits over his last three games, and he's slashing .259/.364/.395 for the season. The .364 on-base percentage would be a new career high for Torres after he recorded a .330 figure last year with the Yankees.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Pops homer Saturday
Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of Minnesota. He went 0-for-5 with a run scored in the nightcap.
Schneemann clubbed his 12th home run of the season in the fifth inning of the matinee, his first since Aug. 31. He continues to slot in wherever the Guardians need him and has appeared in 16 of Cleveland's 20 games in September, but he hasn't done much at the plate. Schneemann is slashing .149/.200/.255 with one homer, five RBI and six runs scored this month.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Pops 21st homer
Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Padres.
Sosa waited until the ninth inning to pop his 21st home run of the season. He's had a mixed performance across the final month of the campaign, as he's collected 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 15 games. However, he's also hit only .200 while striking out at a 34.9 percent clip.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | HOU
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Ruled out for season
Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Rodgers (back/concussion) won't play again this season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Rodgers initially landed on the injured list in June due to an oblique strain, but his time on the shelf has since been extended by a concussion, a nasal fracture and, most recently, back inflammation. With slightly more than a week left in the regular season, the 29-year-old will now shift his focus to getting ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. He's also due to become a free agent this winter.

India isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
Saturday marks the fourth consecutive game that will begin with Michael Massey at the keystone and India on the bench. India has still appeared in two of the Royals' last three contests, though it seems his time as the regular second baseman in Kansas City has come to an end.
