Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting Friday

Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA
Mariners' Leo Rivas: On bench again
Rivas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.
Rivas is on the bench for the third time in four games, with Jorge Polanco manning second base. Rivas has one hit in his last 16 at-bats, but he has a pair of stolen bases and a 5:4 BB:K during that stretch.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Out of ChiSox lineup
Sosa is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Padres.
Sosa has just a .559 OPS and 35.6 percent strikeout rate so far in September. After being moved down to the No. 6 spot in the lineup for the previous two games, he'll get a day to regroup Friday. Miguel Vargas is at first base and Curtis Mead is at third base for the White Sox.

Jackson Holliday SS | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Back in lineup
Holliday (undisclosed) is playing second base and batting leadoff Friday against the Yankees.
Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Holliday was out of the lineup Thursday because he was nicked up. However, the infielder is back in the starting nine for Friday's contest, holding down the leadoff spot. In his last 18 games, Holliday is 22-for-68 (.324) with two home runs, five stolen bases and a 15:16 BB:K.

David Hamilton SS | BOS
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Smacks rare homer
Hamilton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Athletics.
The homer was Hamilton's fifth of the season and his first in the month of September. The lefty-hitting infielder has struggled mightily at the plate in 2025, and he has been unable to take on a strong-side platoon role over the righty-hitting Romy Gonzalez at second base. Hamilton will likely continue to be used primarily as a pinch runner and defensive replacement, batting .201 with four doubles, 17 RBI and 21 stolen bases over 87 games.

Christian Moore 2B | LAA
Angels' Christian Moore: Swipes bag Thursday
Moore went 2-for-3 with two doubles, one walk and one stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Brewers.
This was Moore's first multi-hit effort in five games since he rejoined the major-league roster. The second baseman has gone 4-for-16 with three walks and seven strikeouts in that span, though all four of his knocks have gone for extra bases. Moore is now at a .202/.297/.388 slash line, six homers, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles, one triple and one steal through his first 44 MLB games.

Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA
Angels' Luis Rengifo: Blasts ninth homer
Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Brewers.
Rengifo's playing time has picked up a bit while he has filled in for Yoan Moncada (ankle) at third base over the last few days, though Moncada was able to appear as a pinch hitter Thursday. Rengifo has gone 10-for-53 (.189) over 16 games in September while slipping into a utility role as the Angels get a look at some prospects in an injury-riddled infield. For the season, Rengifo has nine homers, 43 RBI, 53 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and a .240/.291/.340 slash line, with that .631 OPS being his worst since 2021.

Jackson Holliday SS | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sitting out with minor injury
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Holliday is not in Thursday's lineup versus the Yankees because he's nicked up, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Mansolino didn't divulge any more details, but it seems like some general soreness Holliday is dealing with that shouldn't keep him out of action more than a day or two. Luis Vazquez is drawing a start at second base for the Orioles on Thursday, while Ryan Mountcastle has been elevated to the leadoff spot.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Idle Thursday
Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.
Chisholm is slashing .259/.283/.414 with three homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and five steals through 15 games in September, and the Yankees will now use a matchup against southpaw Cade Povich as a chance to get the lefty-hitting infielder a day off. Amed Rosario will draw the start at second base instead and bat fifth.
