Volpe went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series.

Volpe's third-inning grand slam turned the tide for the Yankees and helped prevent a World Series sweep. Gleyber Torres and Austin Wells added additional home runs as the Yankees cruised to a big win. New York will attempt to stay alive and force a return to Los Angeles with a win in Game 5.

Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Monday during the team's end-of-season media session that he expects Baez (hip) to participate in spring training and have a "fighting chance" to be ready for Opening Day, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Baez underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right hip in early September after dealing with a hip/back issue for much of the campaign. He slashed .184/.221/.294 in 2024 and has hit only .221/.262/.347 in his three seasons with the Tigers, but Harris expects the 31-year-old to have a role with the club in 2025. With three years and $73 million remaining on his contract, there wasn't much of a chance that the team was going to cut him loose at this point. Baez shouldn't be guaranteed anything in regards to playing time in 2025, although the hope is that, with better health, he could at least offer a solid glove at shortstop. Trey Sweeney was the Tigers' primary shortstop down the stretch of the regular season and playoffs and could have a leg up over Baez for the starting job there heading into spring training.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a run in a win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Crawford posted one of two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners in the regular-season finale, ending what has been a tough campaign for him on a good note. The pair of knocks coaxed Crawford's batting average back over the Mendoza Line to .202, but all three components of his final batting line -- he also generated a .304 OBP and .321 slugging percentage -- qualified as career lows. The 29-year-old shortstop has been a fixture in Seattle since 2019 and is signed through the 2026 campaign, but he'll presumably need a notable uptick in production to hold on to his starting spot for another full season.

Neto (shoulder) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

Manager Ron Washington said Friday that Neto could be back Saturday and Sunday, but the shortstop will end up missing the final series. Neto broke out this year with 23 homers and 30 steals in 155 games while slashing .249/.318/.443.

Castro is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Castro hit .200 with one home run and two steals over 75 at-bats in September. Austin Martin is starting in left field and batting second.

Correa is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Correa also got Saturday's game off after the Twins were eliminated from the playoff picture. Brooks Lee will start at shortstop and bat third.

Walls is absent from Sunday's lineup against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tampa Bay's regular-season finale. Unless he pinch hits Sunday, Walls will end the year having slashed .183/.282/.248 with 16 stolen bases, one home run and 14 RBI over 252 plate appearances.

Story is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Rays.

Nick Sogard will start at shortstop and bat sixth in the Red Sox's regular-season finale. Story's 2024 season looked to be over after dislocating his left shoulder in early April, but he was able to return to the big club in September. Since his return, Story has slashed .270/.361/.429 with two home runs and six RBI across 72 plate appearances.

Neto (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Neto will miss a second consecutive game due to a right shoulder injury he sustained Thursday against the White Sox. It's unclear whether Neto will also be held out of the Angels' regular-season finale Sunday. Jack Lopez will start at shortstop Saturday and bat second.

Witt isn't in the Royals' lineup Saturday against Atlanta.

After starting the first 160 games of the season, Witt will get a chance to rest Saturday now that the Royals have officially punched their ticket to the postseason. Maikel Garcia will shift to shortstop in Witt's stead, allowing Paul DeJong to pick up a start at the hot corner.
