The Athletics placed Andrus on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a fractured left fibula.

This marks the end of Andrus' season. The veteran hit .243/.294/.320 with three home runs and 37 RBI in 541 plate appearances. Andrus remains under contract with Oakland and figures to be fully recovered by spring training in 2022.

Hoerner (general soreness) is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Hoerner was a late scratch for Saturday's game due to general soreness and will remain out of the lineup for Sunday's contest. Serio Alcantara will receive another start at shortstop in his place for the series finale.

Gimenez is not starting Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

The infielder hit a solo home run Saturday. It was his third home run in the last seven games, a span during which he's hit .333 with five RBI. Owen Miller starts at second base and bats seventh.

The Shortcode="annotation" data-id="306" data-text="Tigers" data-canon="Detroit Tigers" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="DET">Tigers recalled Short from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Short has hit .224 with three home runs since being optioned to Toledo on Sept. 3. He now fills the big-league roster spot of Victor Reyes (groin) and figures to serve as infield depth for the remainder of the regular season.

Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run, a walk and a strikeout in a 14-1 triumph over the Mariners on Saturday.

Rengifo homered in the second inning, singled and scored in the third and walked in the fourth for his fourth multi-hit performance this month. The long ball was Rengifo's fourth of September though he's been a bit feast or famine with no other extra-base hits this month and only three walks despite a decent .262 average.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Toronto.

The infielder singled, stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Mitch Garver in the first inning, but that was the extent of Minnesota's run production. Polanco is in a bit of a skid to end the season, going just 3-for-26 across his last seven games. He's still put together a strong .271/.325/.505 slash line with career highs in home runs (31) and RBI (91) while adding 93 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 146 contests.

Semien went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over Minnesota.

The 31-year-old's 43rd homer of the year tied him with Davey Johnson for the most in a single season by a second baseman. Semien's power surge has seen him swat 11 long balls in 24 September games. He's added a .271/.341/.548 slash line with 99 RBI, 111 runs scored and 15 stolen bases across 692 plate appearances in arguably the best year of his career.

Marte went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 7-2 win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Marte led off the bottom of the first with his 13th long ball of the season, singled in the third and singled and scored in the fifth for his second three-hit game this week. A recent 9-for-20 stretch has contributed to an excellent .297/.398/.541 slash line in 19 September games for the 27-year-old.

Lowe went 4-for-5 with a single, three doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Marlins.

Lowe recorded the first four-hit game of his career Saturday. For a player who has thrown any consideration of hitting for average out the window in 2021, it seems almost out of character for Lowe to hang a crooked number in the hit column. He'll look to build on this effort as the Rays eye up another long postseason run.

Lopez went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Detroit.

Lopez singled and swiped second in the sixth inning -- his 21st stolen base of the year -- then added a double in the eighth. It was the fourth multi-hit game in the last seven contests for Lopez, who has emerged as a viable fantasy asset in 2021, hitting .303 with a .367 on-base percentage to go with his perfect 21-for-21 performance on the basepaths.
