Escobar is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

Escobar is currently riding a 10-game hit streak, but he'll head to the bench for a day off Sunday. Unless he logs a pinch-hit appearance, the infielder will finish the season with an .824 OPS, the best mark of his career. Chris Owings will man the hot corner to replace him.

Anderson is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

The 25-year-old had started the past eight games, but he'll get a day off Sunday despite producing a 1.008 OPS in that span. Anderson will finish the season with 11 homers, 65 RBI, 87 runs scored and a .757 OPS as Derek Dietrich replaces him at the hot corner for the season finale.

Devers is not in Sunday's lineup against the Yankees, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Devers started the last nine games and slashed .270/.341/.649 with four home runs in 41 plate appearances but will remain on the bench for the regular-season finale. Eduardo Nunez will start at third base and bat sixth Sunday. Devers has a .241/.299/.434 slash line with 21 home runs in 449 at-bats this season, though he could still come off the bench for the Red Sox.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with two doubles in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Twins.

The doubles give Moncada 31 for the season, and he becomes the fifth White Sox player aged 23-and-younger to record 30 or more doubles, 15 or more home runs and 60 or more RBI in a single season. His strikeout totals have rightfully made headlines -- he has an MLB-leading 216 strikeouts and a 33.4 K percentage -- but Moncada is finishing out the season with momentum. He's batted .300 (36-for-120) while dropping his strikeout rate to 28.2 percent over his last 31 games.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Royals.

The switch hitter is now just one homer shy of his first 40-homer campaign, having already topped the century mark in RBI for the first time with 106. Ramirez's .274 batting average is actually his lowest mark since he became a regular starter in 2016, but it's the only relative blemish on an otherwise MVP-caliber season.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Nationals.

Arenado took Stephen Strasburg deep in the sixth inning to record his 35th homer of the season. That's good enough for third in the National League, but he will almost certainly end up with his lowest home run total since 2014. Still, it's been a good campaign for Arenado, as he topped both 100 RBI and runs scored and is currently hitting .296.

Segura went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Saturday against the Rangers.

After being benched due to lack of hustle on Friday, Segura responded by recording his first three-hit game since Sept. 1. While he's struggled for much of September -- he entered Saturday's contest slugging .247 across 81 at-bats -- Segura still managed to produce across the board for the season. His 20 stolen bases, .304 batting average and 91 runs scored all made him a strong option in all formats.

Vargas went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a stolen base, and three RBI on Saturday against the Padres.

Vargas recorded his first career home run in the fourth inning, taking Jacob Nix deep. He later added his first career stolen base in the sixth inning, capping off a productive night. The 27-year-old got a taste of the majors for the second consecutive season, but the only standout skill he's shown throughout his minor-league career is the ability to get on base.

Muncy was 2-for-6 with a double, a triple and two RBI in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

Muncy came through with a clutch two-run double with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to help pad the lead to 9-5. The 28-year-old has a .260/.389/.568 slash line with 33 home runs in 389 at-bats with one game to go in the regular season.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday during the Reds' 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Suarez lifted an offering from Jameson Taillon over the center-field wall in the fourth inning. His 34th big fly was the latest highlight of his breakout season, during which he's slashing an impressive .284/.368/.528 with 104 RBI, 79 runs and 10.6 percent walk rate.
