  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    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.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Idle Sunday

    Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Edman will hit the bench for the second time in six games, paving the way for Miguel Rojas to pick up a start at the keystone. Since returning from the injured list Sept. 10, Edman has split time between second base and center field and has gone 6-for-28 (.214 average) with one home run, one walk, four RBI and five runs in seven games.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Earning more work at 2B

    Rojas will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Rojas will occupy the keystone for the fourth time in five games and has made a case for serving as the Dodgers' primary option at the position over Tommy Edman, who has posted a meager .555 OPS since returning from the injured list Sept. 10. During that same stretch, Rojas is slashing .333/.400/.519 with three extra-base hits, three walks and two stolen bases in nine games.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Taking seat Sunday

    Schmitt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    After going 0-for-9 with a 3:3 BB:K while starting in each of the last three games, Schmitt will take a seat for the series finale in Los Angeles. Christian Koss will fill in at second base for Schmitt.

  • 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.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: On bench against LHP

    Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    The left-handed-hitting Turang will take a seat Sunday against southpaw Matthew Liberatore. The second baseman had been part of the starting nine in each of the Brewers' last 14 games and went 14-for-56 (.250 average) with eight runs scored and seven RBI during that stretch.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: On bench again

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    With southpaw Sean Manaea opening the game for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Garcia will retreat to the bench. Paul DeJong will fill in for Garcia at second base.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Taking seat Sunday

    Massey isn't in the Royals' starting lineup Sunday versus the Blue Jays.

    Massey will begin the series finale on the bench after starting each of Kansas City's past three contests at second base. Adam Frazier will cover the keystone Sunday.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    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.

  • 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.
