Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Peterson had started in three of the Diamondbacks' last four matchups versus right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Monday even with righty Clarke Schmidt taking the hill for the Yankees. Emmanuel Rivera will get the nod at third base in place of Peterson.

Duffy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Astros.

This was just the sixth game Duffy's gotten into in September -- the Royals have often opted to evaluate younger players in preparation for 2024. The homer was Duffy's second of the campaign. The infielder is slashing .249/.299/.324 with 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base through 201 plate appearances. He'll likely close out this season in a bench role.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Orioles.

Ramirez accounted for more than half of the Guardians' five hits in the game. He's hit well in September, batting .304 (28-for-92) with five stolen bases, three home runs and nine RBI over 23 games. For the season, the 31-year-old is up to a .281/.355/.481 slash line with 24 homers, 80 RBI, 86 runs scored, 27 stolen bases, 36 doubles and five triples through 151 contests.

Wisdom went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Wisdom helped the Cubs overcome a 3-1 deficit during a three-run sixth inning, with his 22nd home run of the season serving as the big blow. It was the 32-year-old's first long ball this month, however, as he's slipped into a bench role in Chicago, though playing time is available in the short term for however long Jeimer Candelario (back) and Nick Madrigal (hamstring) are out.

Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis is 1-for-13 with two walks and four strikeouts over his past five games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Los Angeles. Wilmer Flores is starting at the hot corner and batting third.

Machado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.

Machado has missed a few games lately and has largely been limited to serving as the designated hitter in September due to an elbow injury, and he'll take a seat after the Padres' eight-game win streak was snapped Saturday. Xander Bogaerts will rest his legs as San Diego's designated hitter while Ha-Seong Kim works as shortstop.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Tigers.

Diaz is 2-for-26 over his past nine games and will hit the bench Sunday. Aledmys Diaz will receive a turn at third base and bat cleanup.

Escobar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Escobar is 3-for-24 with nine strikeouts over his past eight games, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. The veteran infielder will likely have a lesser role during the final week of the regular season with Mike Moustakas (forearm) being reinstated from the injured list.

The Angels reinstated Moustakas (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Moustakas landed on the IL with a strained left forearm Sept. 15, and he'll return from injury just in time to replace C.J. Cron (back), who went on the injured list Sunday. Moustakas was 9-for-35 with three RBI and a run scored since Sept. 1 before getting injured.

McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup Sunday against Oakland.

McKinstry will sit down Sunday with left-hander JP Sears on the mound for Oakland. Zack Short will start at the keystone and bat eighth while McKinstry is out.
