Kreidler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Kreidler snapped out of a slump by reaching base three times and driving in three runs Monday, but that did not prevent him from being held out one day later.

Manager Dusty Baker is planning to give Bregman a day off Wednesday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman will start one day after the Astros clinched the AL West, but it appears he will get a mid-week breather in order to get some rest prior to the postseason.

LeMahieu (toe) could be activated during this week's homestand, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

He took on-field batting practice Tuesday for the first time since landing on the injured list earlier this month. It doesn't sound like LeMahieu will be activated until this weekend, at the earliest.

Freeman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Freeman will get a day off after his 1-for-5 effort Monday against the Twins. Josh Naylor slots in as the designated hitter. Owen Miller starts at first base, batting seventh.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Rays.

Bregman provided a two-RBI double in the sixth inning and now has an extra-base hit in three consecutive games. The performance continued a productive stretch, as he has maintained a .314 average with 10 RBI and six runs scored across his last 10 starts. Bregman will look to end the campaign on a strong note, and his .846 OPS across 603 plate appearances is his highest mark since 2019.

Henderson will man third base and hit leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Henderson hit no higher than cleanup over his first 18 appearances as a big leaguer, but manager Brandon Hyde decided to switch things up with the Orioles' offense looking for a spark, so the rookie will get a shot to show what he can do atop the order.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the Twins.

Ramirez has logged two steals in his last three games and three in four attempts in September. For the season, he's up to 17 swiped bags in 24 tries. The third baseman recorded his first multi-hit effort in six contests Monday. He's posted a .279/.357/.525 slash line with 28 home runs, 113 RBI and 82 runs scored across 143 games this year.

Candelario isn't starting Monday against the Orioles.

Candelario went 0-for-3 with an RBI during Sunday's loss to the White Sox and will head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Miguel Cabrera is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup.

The Athletics promoted Gelof from Double-A Midland to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Gelof, who appeared in three games for Las Vegas in 2021, will rejoin the Athletics' top affiliate after Midland's season concluded Sunday. Over 402 plate appearances at the Double-A level this season, Gelof slashed .271/.356/.438 with 13 home runs and nine stolen bases.

Walls is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls closed out the Rays' weekend series with the Rangers by making three consecutive starts out of the middle infield while going 2-for-9 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two additional runs. Though he'll be on the bench Monday, Walls should see his opportunities pick up following the recent placement of Brandon Lowe (back) on the injured list. Walls will be vying for playing time at the keystone with Jonathan Aranda and Isaac Paredes.
