Nevin will start in left field and bat seventh Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Nevin will close the season with his third start in four games in left field while Ryan McKenna heads to the bench. Since his call-up from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Nevin has gone 2-for-5 with a double, two walks, two RBI and two runs.

Escobar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

With the Brewers already being locked into their playoff positioning, manager Craig Counsell will rest several veterans for the regular-season finale. Along with Escobar, fellow lineup regulars Lorenzo Cain, Christian Yelich and Kolten Wong will sit Sunday. Luis Urias replaces Escobar at third base.

Segura is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Segura will remain on the bench for the third straight game to close out the season after the Phillies were eliminated from the playoffs. Barring an appearance off the bench, he'll finish the campaign with a .290/.348/.436 slash line, 14 homers, 58 RBI, 76 runs and nine stolen bases.

Chapman is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Barring an appearance off the bench, Chapman finishes the season slashing .210/.314/.403 with 27 home runs and 72 RBI. Chad Pinder is starting at third base and batting cleanup Sunday.

The Yankees placed LeMahieu (hip) on the 10-day injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Manager Aaron Boone said the infielder could be ready for a potential ALCS, but his absence will be huge for Sunday's regular-season finale and any potential one-game playoff that follows. Rougned Odor figures to pick up the bulk of LeMahieu's playing time for now.

Bregman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It appears to be a regular day off for Bregman as the Astros wrap up their regular season and prepare for the ALDS, which begins Thursday. Aledmys Diaz is playing third base and batting fifth Sunday.

Candelario is on the bench for Sunday's season finale against the White Sox.

Barring an appearance off the bench, Candelario finishes the season hitting .235 with a pair of doubles in his last 10 games. Isaac Paredes is starting at third base Sunday.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

The veteran slugger put the Twins on the board in the first inning, launching a 435-foot solo shot to left field. That would be all the run support Minnesota's staff would need in the shutout win. During Donaldson's current five-game hit streak, he has gone 6-for-18 with a a pair of homers and five RBI. His 26 homers and 74 RBI each ranks third on the team in 2021.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles, two total runs and three total RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over Detroit.

Moncada plated Chicago's first run in the seventh inning, doubling to right field to score Yasmani Grandal. He produced an even bigger hit in the following frame, homering to left field with a man on base to tally the game-tying and game-winning runs. Moncada has two homers and four RBI over his past four games and is batting .333 (5-for-15) over that span, with all five hits going for extra bases.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.

Suarez continued his hot September with yet another home run. This one was of the two-run variety off Max Kranick, and Suarez followed it up with a double to make it a multi-hit night. With one game to go, the third baseman is now hitting .371 in MLB's final month with eight home runs. If he could ever reduce the swing-and-miss in his game, the 30-year-old has the pop to be one of the better sluggers in the game. Alas, even with his late season surge he's hitting just .197 on the year with 171 strikeouts.
