  • Andres Gimenez 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Sitting Sunday

    Gimenez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

    Gimenez is 8-for-16 with one home run, two doubles and a steal in his last four games. Daniel Schneemann will start at the keystone and bat second against righty Andre Pallante.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Day off Sunday

    Hoerner is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Nationals.

    Hoerner will receive a rare day off after starting in each of the previous 12 tilts. Miles Mastrobuoni will pick up the start at second base for the Cubs.

  • Brooks Baldwin 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Could resume hitting this week

    Baldwin (wrist) could resume on-field hitting this week but is unsure he'll make it back before the end of the season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    The right wrist sprain that sent Baldwin to the 10-day injured list earlier this month has improved, but he might run out of time before he's ready to return to the White Sox's active roster. The rookie infielder has slashed .211/.250/.316 in 33 games for Chicago this season.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Racks up three hits Saturday

    Torres went 3-for-6 with a run and two RBI against Oakland in a 10-0 win Saturday.

    Torres did a good job setting the table from the leadoff spot, and he scored the Yankees' first run of the game before driving in a pair with a seventh-inning single. It was the third multi-hit effort for the second baseman over his past six games, though he went a combined 1-for-14 over the other three contests during that span. Torres has performed well overall in September, slashing .325/.380/.434 with two homers, 11 RBI, 15 runs and an 8:15 BB:K across 19 games.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Out against left-hander

    Massey is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    It's tough lefty Blake Snell on the bump for the Giants in this one, so the left-handed-hitting Massey will begin the game on the bench. Garrett Hampson will handle second-base duties for the Royals.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Absent from lineup Sunday

    Holliday is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest versus the Tigers.

    Holliday had started the last four games after being absent from the lineup for the three contests prior to that. With Jordan Westburg and Ramon Urias back from the injured list, Holliday could be looking at a reduced role in the final week. He's sporting just a .374 OPS this month.

  • Livan Soto 2B | BAL

    Orioles' Livan Soto: Sent back to minors

    The Orioles optioned Soto to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

    Soto was deemed expendable as the Orioles get a couple infielders back from the injured list in Jordan Westburg (hand) and Ramon Urias (ankle). He's put up an .862 OPS in 12 games during his time with Baltimore in 2024.

  • Rays' Christopher Morel: Taking seat Sunday

    Morel is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Blue Jays.

    Dylan Carlson will patrol left field and bat leadoff for the Rays. The Blue Jays are using a right-handed opener in Ryan Burr and are then expected to turn to lefty Ryan Yarbrough in bulk relief, so Morel is a candidate to enter mid-game.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swats homer in win

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the White Sox.

    Bogaerts launched a two-run homer on a hanging cutter from Chris Flexen in his first trip to the plate to put San Diego up 2-0 early. It marked the shortstop's 11th long ball on the campaign and his fourth this month, during which he's batting just .234 with 10 RBI and six runs scored. Bogaerts has also hit safely in each of his last three contests, though he had gone five games without recording a run or an RBI coming into Saturday.

  • Jorge Polanco 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Raps out three hits in win

    Polanco went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a double in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

    Polanco plated the Mariners' second run of the day with his timely first-inning knock, and he later added his first two-bagger since Aug. 20. The veteran infielder is having another mostly difficult month, however, as even Saturday's production only served to push his September slash line to a forgettable .169/.219/.288 across 64 plate appearances.
