  • Alex Bregman 3B | HOU

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Sitting Sunday after delay

    Bregman was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Guardians while it was in a rain delay, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The game had been delayed for almost an hour when the team submitted a new lineup without Bregman, Jose Altuve or Kyle Tucker, as the Astros opted to not risk one of their veterans getting injured in subpar conditions ahead of the playoffs.

  • Jazz Chisholm 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out finale

    Chisholm is not in Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Sitting again Sunday

    Arenado is not in Sunday's lineup against the Giants.

    Arenado will get the last two games of the season off. Jose Fermin is starting at the hot corner, batting ninth.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Absent from Sunday's lineup

    Solano is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Luis Arraez will start at first base Sunday while Fernando Tatis serves as the designated hitter. Unless he comes in to pinch hit, Solano will end the regular season with a .287/.344/.418 slash line, eight home runs and 35 RBI across 308 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Absent from lineup

    Machado is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Machado will sit for the regular-season finale after going 1-for-10 with one RBI across the first two games of the series against Arizona. Unless he comes in to pinch hit, Machado will end the regular season having slashed .275/.325/.472 with 11 stolen bases, 29 home runs and 105 RBI across 643 plate appearances. Tyler Wade will start at third base Sunday and bat eighth.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Career game in Minnesota

    Rivera went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

    Rivera has had to battle for playing time ever since he got to Baltimore, but he's produced with a .323/.380/.597 slash line over 26 games with the team. He doubled his homer total with the Orioles in a big game Saturday. Overall in 2024, he's slashing .240/.314/.346 with five homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases across 300 plate appearances between the Orioles and the Marlins. With Baltimore having gotten healthier late in the regular season, Rivera may be limited to a bench role if he's included on the postseason roster.

  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Tallies ninth homer

    Triolo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.

    Triolo popped a two-run homer in the sixth inning to bring his total on the season to nine, three of which have come in September. His numbers for the campaign are subpar, though Triolo has managed to maintain a .263 batting average with a .701 OPS, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored across 22 starts in September.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Logs one hit in loss

    Marte went 1-for-3 and was caught stealing in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Cubs.

    Marte logged one of three hits for the Reds, whose bats have gone very quiet over the final week of the season with a league-low .137 batting average. Cincinnati's lost five straight, including three shutouts, and been outscored 17-3. Marte is doing his best to put a disappointing season behind him, which began with an 80-game suspension due to a PED violation. He's gone 13-for-48 (.271) with four walks, four RBI and three steals over the last 14 games.
