  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Taking seat Sunday

    Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Frazier picked up starts in left field in the first two games of the series and went 2-for-8 between those contests, but he'll take a seat for the final contest in Philadelphia. Michael Massey will fill in for Frazier in left field and will bat sixth.

  • Kyle Isbel CF | KC

    Royals' Kyle Isbel: Idle against right-hander

    Isbel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    The Royals are facing off against a righty (Aaron Nola) in the series finale, but the left-handed-hitting Isbel will receive a day off nonetheless after he had started in each of Kansas City's last 12 games. Mike Yastrzemski will spell Isbel in center field.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Quero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Quero has a .278/.316/.389 slash line through nine games in September and will take a seat Sunday for the second time in Chicago's past three games. Andrew Benintendi will bat sixth as the designated hitter in the series finale at Cleveland.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: On bench again Sunday

    Baldwin (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Baldwin departed Friday's contest due to hip soreness and will sit Sunday for a second consecutive game. Dominic Fletcher is starting in center field in the series finale for the White Sox.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Will start in MLB debut Monday

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced that Yesavage will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start Monday's game at Tampa Bay.

    Since Yesavage had worked in relief in two of his last three appearances with Buffalo, the early expectation was that he would begin his time in the big leagues in the bullpen, but Schneider noted that deploying the 22-year-old as a starter would make his MLB debut as "normal as possible," per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. Depending on how Yesavage fares Monday, he could continue starting or shift to a multi-inning relief role, with Schneider noting that the youngster won't face any sort of innings cap over the final two weeks of regular season, according to Davidi. Yesavage -- who has emerged as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball this season -- earned his call-up to the majors after he submitted a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 160:41 K:BB in 98 innings across his four minor-league stops in 2025.

  • Adolis Garcia RF | PHI

    Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Activated, batting cleanup Sunday

    The Rangers reinstated Garcia (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting in right field and batting cleanup Sunday versus the Mets.

    The outfielder landed on the shelf in early September due to a quadriceps strain, but he'll end up spending little more than the 10-day minimum on the injured list. Garcia will look to pick up where he left off, as he had an .867 OPS with eight doubles and three homers in the 18 games preceding his absence.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Not starting Sunday

    Altuve (foot) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, and manager joe Espada said that the 35-year-old is still feeling "pretty sore" as he continues to be evaluated by team doctors, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    The 35-year-old exited Saturday's 6-2 win due to right foot discomfort and continues to manage the injury Sunday. Altuve will miss at least one start, and it remains to be seen if he'll be available off the bench for the series finale. Yordan Alvarez will serve as Houston's designated hitter Sunday, and Zach Cole will pick up a start in left field.

  • Albert Suarez SP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Drawing start in bullpen day

    Suarez will start Sunday's game in Toronto in what's expected to be a bullpen day for the Orioles, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    During his lengthy rehab assignment in August while he recovered from a shoulder strain, Suarez built up to as many as five innings, but he's tossed between one and three innings in three relief appearances since Baltimore reinstated him from the 60-day injured list Sept. 1. With Dean Kremer (forearm) set to miss his turn through the rotation this weekend, Suarez will draw the spot start, but since he'll be pitching on three days' rest and also warmed up in the bullpen during Saturday's 5-4 loss, the right-hander may not be asked to work deep enough into Sunday's outing to qualify for a win.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Second-half struggles continue

    Rafaela went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Rafaela swung and missed at three pitches outside the zone with two runners in scoring position in the second inning. He later struck out swinging on a ball in the dirt with two runners on base. It continued a rough second half for the outfielder, who is slashing .188/.241/.276 since the All-Star break.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Covers two scoreless frames Saturday

    Vest tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 6-4, extra-innings loss to the Marlins. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one.

    Vest worked scoreless ninth and 10th innings to preserve a tied game, but the Tigers fell when Rafael Montero allowed three runs in the bottom of the 11th to blow a 4-3 lead. It was just the third appearance of the month for Vest, as the Tigers are now 4-7 in September and not giving the veteran reliever many games to close out. Vest has still pitched well with a 2.57 ERA and 9.4 K/9, and he should remain Detroit's closer, at least for however long Kyle Finnegan (groin) is on the injured list.
