Basabe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Basabe is on the bench for a second straight game and appears to have lost hold of the everyday role at shortstop after Taylor Walls was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday. Though Basabe manned shortstop in Friday's 3-2 loss, Walls will pick up a second consecutive start Sunday in place of the rookie. Since he was called up from Triple-A Durham on Aug. 12 to replace Wander Franco (personal) as the Rays' primary option at shortstop, Basabe has slashed .250/.316/.365 with one home run and nine RBI across his first 57 big-league plate appearances.

The Angels optioned Velazquez to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Velazquez will head back to the minors after the Angels reinstated Matt Thaiss (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. With the Angels summoning fellow infielders Kyren Paris and Michael Stefanic from the minors Friday as their two September call-ups, the team didn't have much of a need to keep Velazquez on hand as a utility man.

Clement went 1-for-3 with a single and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Rockies.

Clement committed two errors in the field, but he was able to produce at the plate once again Saturday after he providing a home run and a triple in Friday's series-opening win. The 27-year-old will receive the starting nod at shortstop and will bat seventh Sunday, but his run as the Blue Jays' primary option at the position could end as soon as next Friday, when Bo Bichette (quadricep) could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list.

Bichette (quadriceps) was spotted running sprints at Coors Field on Sunday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 25-year-old has been out nearly a week with a strained right quadriceps, and his quick return to running is an encouraging sign for his recovery. Bichette is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Friday, and manager John Schneider previously indicated the shortstop could be ready to be activated at that point.

Volpe went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and a run against the Astros in a 5-4 victory Saturday.

Volpe was one of two Yankees to reach base thrice in the win, and he scored the team's second run after drawing a walk in the second inning. The rookie shortstop added a double in the third and another walk that was piggybacked by a swipe off third base in the fifth. Volpe's effectiveness on the basepaths has tailed off as the season has progressed -- he went 13-for-13 on theft attempts through his first 41 contests but is just 9-for-14 over 94 games since. However, he's maintained a steady role as New York's starting shortstop and has been one of the AL's top rookies with a .218/.296/.409 slash line, 20 homers, 57 RBI, 54 runs and 22 steals over 504 plate appearances on the campaign.

Duran is out of the lineup Sunday against Minnesota.

Duran will take a seat after going 0-for-11 with four strikeouts across his last three games. Josh Smith will draw the start at third base Sunday and bat eighth.

Paris went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to Oakland.

Paris collected his first major-league hit with a fifth-inning leadoff single, and he quickly proceeded to record his first theft. The rookie infielder also drew a walk in the seventh, marking the fourth time through eight plate appearances that he's reached base (one hit, two walks and a hit-by-pitch). Paris could be an impactful base stealer if he continues to find ways to make it to first, as he recorded 44 thefts in 50 attempts in the minors this season prior to being promoted.

Baez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

While dealing with general soreness, Baez sat out three straight games before he returned to the lineup for Saturday's 10-0 win, during which he went 0-for-3 with a walk. The Tigers haven't indicated that Baez suffered a setback in his return, so his move to the bench Sunday may be for maintenance purposes more than anything else. Zack Short will step in for Baez at shortstop.

Arias went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Rays.

Arias singled in his first at-bat before adding a two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth to put the Guardians up 4-1. He's now racked up multiple hits in back-to-back games and in four of his last eight, adding five RBI over that latter stretch to go along with nine runs scored. On the downside, the utility man has also struck out 12 times over his last nine games while drawing only one walk.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, two additional runs scored and a hit-by-pitch in Saturday's win over the Mets.

Crawford put a cap on his big game by launching a decisive solo home run down the right field line in the ninth inning, giving Seattle an 8-7 lead. In 11 games since returning from a concussion, the 28-year-old shortstop is hitting .341 (14-for-41) with four homers, eight RBI, 17 runs, one steal, 11 walks, and 13 strikeouts.
