  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Not in lineup for second game

    Vientos is absent from the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

    Vientos will get a breather for the second game after the Mets wrapped up a playoff spot with their win in the first contest. Jose Iglesias will shift over to third base while Eddy Alvarez gets a start at second base.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Shows power to close season

    Ramos went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Tigers.

    Ramos started 14 games in September after being recalled Sept. 4. He showed some decent pop by collecting three homers and five total extra-base hits in 59 plate appearances. He hit just .208, but a 23.7 percent strikeout rate isn't all that concerning. Ramos should be in position to compete for the starting third base job in 2025.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Contributes as in-game replacement

    Hernaiz entered Sunday's loss to the Mariners as a defensive replacement at third base in the seventh inning and went 1-for-1 with a two-run double.

    Hernaiz made things interesting during his only plate appearance, doubling home Seth Brown and Zack Gelof in the ninth inning to slice a four-run deficit in half. The young infielder played only 48 games at the major-league level during his rookie 2024 campaign, with a near two-month stay on the injured list due to an ankle issue playing a large part. Hernaiz finished with just a .192 average and .503 OPS across 135 plate appearances; however, the combination of his adequate 8.1 percent walk rate and 20.0 percent strikeout rate in his first brush with big-league arms and his career .294/.358/.424 minor-league slash line imply he could certainly take a notable step forward if he remains healthy in 2025.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Goes yard in regular-season finale

    Suarez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI single and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-2 win over San Diego.

    Suarez capped off the regular season with an excellent performance, lifting a solo homer -- just his second round tripper since hitting two Sept. 11 -- off Matt Waldron in the seventh inning for his 30th long ball of the year, the fifth time in his career that he's reached that mark. In 2024, Suarez is slashing .256/.319/.469 with 101 RBI and 90 runs.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | ATH

    Braves' Gio Urshela: Launches homer

    Urshela went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 4-2 loss to Kansas City.

    Urshela provided Atlanta's lone extra-base hit Sunday, tagging Alec Marsh for a solo homer in the third inning. In 34 games with Atlanta, Urshela has slashed .264/.281/.432 with four home runs, 14 RBI and nine runs across 128 plate appearances.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Strong finish to season

    Sosa went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and three runs Sunday against the Tigers.

    Sosa clubbed a three-run blast in the third inning, his eighth homer of the season. The three hits and three RBI matched his season highs. Over his final 14 games, Sosa posted eight multi-hit performances, going 20-for-49 (.408) with four homers, two doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs.

  • 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 CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out finale

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

    The Yankees are resting Juan Soto and Aaron Judge as well. Chisholm is 5-for-12 with one home run, two doubles and two steals over his last three games, giving him plenty of momentum heading into the playoffs.

  • 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.
