Reyes is out of Friday's starting lineup versus Cincinnati.

Reyes will head to the bench for a day off following nine starts in the previous 10 games. During that span, he's gone 10-for-35 (.286 average) with two home runs and five RBI. Adam Frazier will draw a start in right field while Kevin Kramer gets the nod at second base.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two stolen bases Thursday against the Indians.

Mondesi illustrated his ability to both steal bases and hit for power Thursday night, smacking his 13th home run of the season in the third inning against Josh Tomlin. He also stole both of his bases in the 10th inning, bringing his season total to 30. The 23-year-old has excelled with regular playing time, hitting .284/.309/.504 across 273 plate appearances.

Story went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Phillies.

Story connected on his 35th homer of the season in the second inning with a solo shot off Jake Arrieta, and he's now connected on home runs in back-to-back games. Story has produced elite offensive numbers in 2018, with a .291/.346/.562 slash line with 42 doubles, six triples, 105 RBI, 86 runs and 26 steals.

Gordon is not in the lineup Thursday against the Rangers, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon will stick on the bench for a second straight game as Robinson Cano picks up another start at the keystone in his stead. No injury has been reported at this point, so it looks like manager Scott Servais is simply giving the speedster some time off to clear his head in the midst of a tough September (.206/.215/.381 with two homers through 19 games).

Adrianza is out of the lineup versus Detroit on Thursday.

Adrianza will take a seat for the second straight game after starting 12 of the previous 13. In his spot, Gregorio Petit will man the hot corner and bat ninth in the order.

Correa went 1-for-4 with an RBI and struck out three times in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Correa served as the designated hitter and delivered Houston's lone run on an infield dribbler up the third-base line. This was his first game after missing six games with a sore back. He told Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle his swings felt normal, and that he felt comfortable at the plate. We suspect the Astros will want to give Correa more at-bats over the final few games and see him play the field for nine innings.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Lindor led off the game with his 37th home run and later smacked another hit before being lifted early in the 10-2 rout. The 24-year-old set a new personal best with his 90th RBI, but he's otherwise struggled some of late with just a .242 average over 99 at-bats in September.

Story went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a triple and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Story did his part in the 14-0 win, going deep in the fifth inning for his 34th home run to pull into a tie for second place in the National League behind Matt Carpenter (36). The 25-year-old also ranks in the top five in the NL with 104 RBI and sports an impressive .290 batting average. Now over the elbow issue that cost him five games over the past week, Story figures to be in the lineup the rest of the way to help Colorado secure a playoff spot.

Mondesi went 2-for-5 with a triple, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

Mondesi singled in the first inning and stole his way to third base before coming around to score on a Salvador Perez double. He added a triple in the fifth inning, scoring another run on a groundout from Alex Gordon. The 23-year-old has done nothing but produce at the plate in September, slashing .305/.330/.568 with six homers, 10 stolen bases, 17 runs and 13 RBI through 22 games.

Crawford is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford has started the last six games at shortstop, hitting .250/.308/.417 with a homer and two RBI over that stretch. He'll sit for Wednesday's series finale as manager Bruce Bochy gives the veteran shortstop some rest with the Giants out of the playoff picture. Abiatal Avelino is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth in place of Crawford.
