Fermin went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and one RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win versus the Brewers.

The St. Louis infielder tallied his second steal of the season, taking second off Milwaukee starter Jose Quintana in the second inning. Fermin was subsequently caught stealing when trying to nab home later in the frame. Fermin, who is now slashing .298/.389/.404 in 55 total plate appearances, is in a bench role currently for the Cardinals. He could become an intriguing fantasy option for batting average and speed since he hit .305 with 20 steals in 289 Triple-A plate appearances this season.

Moore went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Mariners.

This was Moore's second game in the lineup since getting recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. He hit just .175 with 15 strikeouts over 10 games during his stint in the minors, but it looks like he'll get the chance to reclaim a starting job at second base to close out 2025 in the majors. For the season, he's at a .192/.285/.350 slash line with five homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored, two doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 138 plate appearances at the big-league level.

Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

For the second day in a row, Rengifo will take a seat in favor of rookie Christian Moore, who will cover second base and bat fifth in the series finale. At 69-80, the Angels are effectively eliminated from playoff contention, so it wouldn't be surprising if the club moved Rengifo into a utility role over the final two weeks in order to open up regular playing time for Moore, who is viewed as the organization's long-term future at the keystone.

Gelof is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Darell Hernaiz will slide over from his usual post at third base to cover the keystone in place of Gelof, who had started in every game since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 25. In the three weeks following his promotion, Gelof is hitting .230 with two home runs, one steal, eight runs and six RBI while striking out at a 43.9 percent clip over 17 games.

Iglesias (hand) is starting at third base and batting seventh Sunday against the Rockies, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

The veteran infielder hasn't been in the lineup since being hit by a pitch on the hand Tuesday, though his absence may not have been due to the injury given he still made two appearances off the bench. Iglesias will fill in at the hot corner Sunday for Manny Machado, who is out of the lineup for the first time in 2025.

Tawa will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Tawa will pick up his fifth consecutive start and his fourth in a row at first base, where he appears to have emerged as Arizona's preferred option in the wake of season-ending injuries to Pavin Smith (quadriceps) and Tyler Locklear (elbow). Since being called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Tawa has gone 5-for-13 with two doubles, two walks, five runs and one RBI.

Donovan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Donovan started at second base and led off in both of the first two games of the series in Milwaukee following his return from the injured list, going 3-for-10 with a solo home run and a walk. Though Donovan hasn't experienced any setbacks with his groin since returning, the left-handed-hitting utility man will hit the bench for the day game after a night game while southpaw Jose Quintana toes the rubber for Milwaukee.

Sosa (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Sosa will sit for a second straight game after exiting Friday's contest due to groin tightness. Bryson Stott will shift to shortstop while Weston Wilson picks up a start at second base in Sunday's series finale.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Frazier picked up starts in left field in the first two games of the series and went 2-for-8 between those contests, but he'll take a seat for the final contest in Philadelphia. Michael Massey will fill in for Frazier in left field and will bat sixth.

Edwards (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Edwards will sit for a second consecutive game after being scratched from the lineup Saturday due to wrist discomfort. He'll have an extra day to recover thanks to Monday's team off day ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Colorado. Maximo Acosta is manning the keystone Sunday for Miami, opening up third base for Javier Sanoja.
