Chavis went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Chavis walked in his first at-bat but was stranded at second. He later singled in Bryan Reynolds and came around to score on a fielder's choice as the Pirates chased Noah Syndergaard in the sixth inning. Chavis, who has exactly one hit in seven of his last eight games, is now slashing .245/.277/.416 with 13 home runs on the season.

Rengifo went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

Rengifo took Ross Stripling deep to right with Shohei Ohtani on base in the third inning to put the Angels up 2-0. Los Angeles would not look back as it won the game 8-3. Rengifo has a modest six-game hitting streak and could be a productive middle infield option in deep leagues down the stretch, as he is slashing .268/.300/.427 on the season.

Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Torres is 4-for-21 with two runs, a stolen base and seven strikeouts over his past five contests and will take seat for the series finale in Oakland. DJ LeMahieu is starting at second base with Giancarlo Stanton back at designated hitter.

Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

After going 2-for-11 with a double, four walks and a run while starting in each of the past four games, Urias will get a breather for the series finale with the Cubs. Jace Peterson will spell Urias at the hot corner and will bat seventh.

Haggerty (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Haggerty returned from a five-game absence Friday only to suffer a finger injury, and he's on the bench Sunday for the second straight contest. Mitch Haniger will again shift to right field while Carlos Santana serves as the designated hitter.

Kim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

Jake Cronenworth will slide over to shortstop to fill in for Kim, who is taking a seat for the first time since Aug. 14. Kim came up big at the plate over the first two games of the series with the Royals, going 4-for-10 with a home run, a double and five RBI.

Gonzalez will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With usual leadoff man Luis Robert (wrist) sidelined for the entire series against the Diamondbacks and with the White Sox having an opening in the infield following Yoan Moncada's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list, Gonzalez will make a third straight turn out of the table-setting spot. He was able to capitalize on the opportunity in Saturday's 10-5 loss, going 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run. With Josh Harrison set to serve as Moncada's primary replacement, Gonzalez could end up settling in as the White Sox's main option at second base. Gonzalez's main challenger for playing time, Leury Garcia, returned from an IL stint of his own Saturday and is slashing a lowly .209/.234/.271 in 292 plate appearances on the season.

Mathias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Mathias started the past three games and will receive a day off after going 7-for-12 with a home runs, five RBI and three runs scored. Brad Miller will bat seventh as the designated hitter Sunday.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Marte had served as Arizona's designated hitter in each of the past five games, going 3-for-22 with a walk, two RBI and a run over those contests. Rookie Stone Garrett will fill in for him in the series finale.

Polanco (kneecap) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The 29-year-old exited Saturday's contest with left patellar tendinitis, and he'll be held out of the starting nine for at least one game. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and Polanco should be considered day-to-day. Nick Gordon will move to the keystone while Jake Cave starts in left field.
