Arenado (undisclosed) is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

It's being labeled as a precautionary move, with manager Oliver Marmol saying that Arenado would be in the lineup without hesitation if Tuesday's game had any impact on the postseason picture. Juan Yepez is starting at third base and hitting sixth.

Segura is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Many of the Phillies' regulars are getting the day off after celebrating a postseason berth Monday night. Phil Maton is starting at the keystone and hitting sixth.

Toro was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and is starting at second base while batting seventh in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

With Sam Haggerty (groin strain) landing on the injured list, Toro is back up a day after getting demoted to assume the short side of a platoon over the final two days of the regular season. Toro is hitting .179/.236/.314 with nine home runs in 106 games.

Donaldson will sit for the first of Tuesday's two games against the Rangers.

The Yankees won't ask many regulars to play two games in one day, as they're locked into the second seed in the American League regardless of what happens in their final three games. Oswaldo Cabrera will play third base in Donaldson's absence.

LeMahieu will be on the bench for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers.

With the Yankees locked into the second seed regardless of what happens over the final three games of the season, the team won't be asking many regulars to start twice in one day. LeMahieu will likely return to action in the nightcap.

Devers went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

Devers singled in the first and third innings before ripping a double and coming around to score in the bottom of the sixth. He later added a sacrifice fly in following frame, giving the Red Sox the lead at 4-3. The multi-hit effort was his second straight and fourth in his last seven contests. Since Sept. 18, Devers has produced a .388 average with a homer, nine RBI and six runs scored over 49 at-bats in 13 games.

Urshela went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the White Sox.

Urshela provided all the offense for the Twins on Monday with a two-run home run to right field in the top of the first inning. Additionally, with Minnesota down 3-2 in the top of the ninth inning, Urshela singled against Chicago closer Liam Hendriks to lead off the inning and was removed for a pinch runner before Hendriks stranded him and two other runners to end the game. The third baseman has been rounding out the season hot, batting .472 (17-for-36) with three extra-base hits, six RBI and eight runs scored over his last 10 games.

Longoria was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured right thumb Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria was struck on the hand by a ball Sunday against the Diamondbacks and underwent an X-ray that revealed a fractured thumb. He'll be unavailable for the Giants' final three regular-season games, and it seems likely that he'll require several weeks of rest during the offseason. The 36-year-old slashed .244/.315/.451 with 14 home runs, 42 RBI and 31 runs over 89 games in 2022.

Candelario isn't starting Monday against Seattle.

Candelario went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Sunday against the Twins, and he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Kody Clemens is taking over at the hot corner and batting seventh.

Toro was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

After recording just three hits in his last 12 games, Toro will return to the minors. 2022 has been a disappointing campaign that saw him slash .179/.236/.314 over 339 plate appearances. If he shows signs of progress over the offseason, there is still a chance he could make the Mariners' big-league roster in 2023.
