Baez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

After five straight starts -- a stretch over which he went 5-for-16 with two RBI -- Baez will be afforded a day of rest ahead of the series finale against Chase Anderson and the Brewers.

Correa went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Correa's transition from a thumb injury hasn't gone as smoothly as he'd like, as he's .182 (12-for-66) in 17 games since the Astros activated him off the 10-day disabled list. He had missed so much time due to the injury, it's natural that it's taking Correa some time to get back to form. He squared up a couple of balls and received an intentional free pass Saturday, a good sign he's rounding into form for the postseason. Perhaps Friday's day off was just the ticket.

Manager Pete Mackanin said Crawford will get a start at shortstop Sunday, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Crawford has started 16 of the Phillies' 18 games since he was promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley but has made only three starts at shortstop, his natural position. The 22-year-old has hit just .245 in his 53 at-bats, but he does have a solid .379 on-base percentage. If the Phillies want to keep Crawford in the majors next year, they may need to open up a spot in their infield by trading Freddy Galvis or Maikel Franco this offseason.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer and three runs Saturday against the Mariners.

Lindor smashed his 33rd homer of the campaign to open the scoring for the Indians in the first inning of a road victory. He's launched eight homers while hitting over .300 this month, and he certainly has done everything in his power to help fantasy owners during the most important time of the season.

Camargo is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Camargo will be held out Saturday after starting the last three games at first base. Rio Ruiz will man the hot corner in Camargo's place.

Urena is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Urena has fallen off after a strong start to the month, going just 1-for-21 over his last seven games, so he'll head to the bench for a second straight contest. In his place, Ryan Goins and Darwin Barney will hold down the middle of the infield for Toronto.

Owings (finger) hopes to return to the DIamondbacks during their National League Divisional Series matchup, Jarrid Denney of MLB.com reports.

Owings is eligible to return from the 60-day disabled list for the Diamondbacks' final series of the regular season against the Royals that begins Sept. 29, but he won't be an option for those games after his meeting Friday with hand specialist Dr. Don Sheridan revealed that the shortstop's fractured right middle finger hasn't healed completely. While the Diamondbacks won't benefit from the opportunity to assess Owings' health heading into the postseason by getting him a few regular-season games under his belt, he'll still be able to do some baseball activities while he waits for the finger to improve. Owings took batting practice in the cage, played catch and hit some underhand flips on the field prior to the Diamondbacks' game Friday against the Marlins.

Gordon went 3-for-6 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and his 56th stolen base of the year in Friday's 13-11 loss to the Diamondbacks.

It's his fifth multi-hit performance in his last six games, and Gordon is now slashing a magnificent .373/.381/.506 in September with a homer, eight steals, six RBI and 13 runs in 19 games as he finishes the season on a high note.

Seager (ankle) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

This comes as a surprise, because while X-rays on the ankle were negative, manager Dave Roberts just said Thursday that Seager would be out "at least" a couple more days. Regardless, Seager's penciled in to return, and will get a chance to improve upon his 1-for-9 career mark against Giants starter Jeff Samardzija.

Arcia is not in the lineup against the Cubs on Friday.

Arcia will stay on the bench for the second straight contest as manager Craig Counsell elects to go with Eric Sogard at the shortstop position once more. The 23-year-old could enter the fray during the latter stages of Friday's game, much like he did Thursday night.
