Arenado was a late addition to the starting nine for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. He didn't play an inning in the field and didn't take an at-bat before departing.

Arenado's inclusion in the starting nine was merely ceremonial, as the Cardinals had him get introduced to the Busch Stadium crowd for the final time this season before removing him before the first inning got underway. Nolan Gorman stepped in at third base to replace Arenado, who is under contract through 2027 but could be a trade candidate this offseason.

Sanoja is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Sanoja had made eight consecutive starts while moving between three different spots (second base, third base and left field) from Sept. 11 through this past Thursday, but he now finds himself on the bench for the third contest in a row. With Miami recently returning Connor Norby, Graham Pauley and Dane Myers from the injured list, Sanoja could be relegated to a short-side platoon role heading into the final week of the season.

Pauley will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Though he doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one position, Pauley has now picked up starts in four of the Marlins' six games since being reinstated from the injured list Monday. He's seen action at three different spots in the infield, making two starts at third base and one apiece at second base and first base.

Devanney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Devanney's brief run as the Pirates' primary option at third base appears to be over. He'll be on the bench for the sixth time in seven games while the Pirates go with Jared Triolo at the hot corner, Nick Gonzales at shortstop and Nick Yorke at second base.

Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Harris is on the bench for the third time in four matchups against a right-handed starting pitcher. With the Athletics bringing Max Muncy back from the injured list Saturday, Harris doesn't look as though he'll have a path to an everyday role in the final week of the season.

Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Norby will give way to Graham Pauley at third base after after starting at the hot corner in the first two games of the series. Since returning from the injured list Monday, Norby has gone 7-for-19 with a solo home run, two doubles and an additional run in four games.

Lewis isn't in the starting lineup Sunday versus Cleveland.

Lewis will take a seat amidst a strong September during which he's batted .274 with three homers, 10 RBI and nine stolen bases through 18 games. Ryan Fitzgerald is getting a turn at the hot corner in Lewis' stead Sunday.

Westburg is not starting against the Yankees on Sunday.

Since being activated off the 10-day IL on Tuesday, Westburg had started five straight games, but he went just 1-for-20 with 10 strikeouts over that span. He'll get a day to reset Sunday while Jeremiah Jackson makes a start at the hot corner.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Detroit due to a laceration on his thumb, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez sustained the injury earlier in the weekend, and while the cut didn't require stitches, he'll be out of commission for at least one game. Vidal Brujan will draw the start at third base in place of Alvarez, who starred in Saturday's 6-5 come-from-behind win with three hits -- including two home runs -- and three RBI.

McKinstry went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

The veteran utility player appeared as a pinch hitter for Andy Ibanez in the sixth inning and promptly launched his 12th home run of the season. McKinstry has been a surprising source of offense all year, as the 12 long balls are already a new career high, as are his 49 RBI. McKinstry is also sporting a .769 OPS through 138 games, which is well ahead of his career .679 mark.
