Burger (wrist) was reinstated from Triple-A Charlotte's 7-day injured list Sept. 23 and went 5-for-26 with a triple and three runs over the club's final six games of the season.

Burger suffered a non-displaced left wrist fracture in late August, but he was able to make his return to action after about a month-long absence. Unless the White Sox are in need of another position player over the final two days of the regular season, Burger will rest up at home before beginning offseason workouts. Over his 183 plate appearances with Chicago earlier this season, the 26-year-old hit .250 with eight home runs and 26 RBI.

Rendon (suspension) was reinstated to the active roster Monday.

Rendon underwent wrist surgery in June and appeared likely to miss the remainder of the season, but he was reinstated from the 60-day IL on Wednesday and served his five-game suspension over the weekend. The 32-year-old will be available for the Angels during their three-game series in Oakland to close out the regular season.

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

The newly recalled Vidal Brujan will get a start at the keystone while Walls rests after making three straight starts out of the middle infield. With Brandon Lowe (back) done for the season, Walls is poised to serve as the Rays' primary second baseman for what's left of the regular season and for the duration of Tampa Bay's playoff run.

Paredes will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll stick in the lineup for the 11th time in 14 games while Yandy Diaz remains bothered by a sore left shoulder, an injury he aggravated in his return from an eight-game absence in Friday's win over the Astros. The Rays seem to be viewing Diaz as day-to-day as the team begins its final series of the regular season, so Paredes' hold on an everyday role could be tenuous.

Bride went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Filling the DH role, Bride joined the Athletics' offensive explosion with his couple of trips on the basepaths. The rookie, who saw very sparse playing time throughout September, had been mired in an 0-for-17 slump that had encompassed his last 10 games prior to Sunday. Bride's season slash line sits at .206/.304/.250 across 185 plate appearances, but he has displayed some encouraging plate discipline in the form of a 10.3 percent walk rate and modest 17.3 percent strikeout rate.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in a 7-5 win Sunday over Kansas City.

Ramirez singled, stole a base and scored in the second and added another stolen base following a hit in the seventh. The steals were his 19th and 20th of the season, giving him his fourth straight 20-20 season in years with 162 games. The 30-year-old has struggled a little bit of late and is 11-for-51 in his last 13 contests.

Kreidler is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Kreidler picks up a start with Javier Baez getting the day game off. The rookie is stuck in a reserve role and is slashing just .190/.243/.254 this season, so he doesn't figure to offer a ton of fantasy value Sunday. He'll likely have to settle for a similar role in 2023 with Baez locked up on a six-year deal that he signed last offseason.

Devers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Toronto.

Devers has a .360/.467/.440 slash line over his past seven games and will take a seat for the series finale versus the Blue Jays. Bobby Dalbec will step in at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series finale.

Freeman was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

Freeman had lost out on playing time recently, as he was in the lineup for just two of the last 10 games. The 23-year-old will be cast off the active roster as part of a move after Bo Naylor's contract was selected Saturday.

Ramirez isn't starting Saturday against the Royals.

Ramirez has gone 1-for-11 with a three-run homer, a walk and two strikeouts over the last three games, and he'll have a chance to rest Saturday. Gabriel Arias is taking over at the hot corner and batting seventh.
