  • Jazz Chisholm 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out finale

    Chisholm is not in Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

    The Yankees are resting Juan Soto and Aaron Judge as well. Chisholm is 5-for-12 with one home run, two doubles and two steals over his last three games, giving him plenty of momentum heading into the playoffs.

  • Aaron Judge CF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Scratched Sunday

    Judge was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

    Given that Juan Soto and Jazz Chisholm are also off, it sounds like the Yankees just opted to rest their star slugger at the last minute. The game was delayed due to inclement weather, so it makes sense to not have Judge out there in poor conditions. Judge went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts Saturday.

  • Adolis Garcia RF | TEX

    Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Out with knee injury

    Garcia (knee) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Angels.

    Given that he left Saturday's game with a knee injury and the Rangers have nothing to play for, it's not surprising Garcia will sit out the finale. Dustin Harris gets the start at designated hitter, batting eighth.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Sitting Sunday

    O'Hoppe is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

    Matt Thaiss will start behind the dish in O'Hoppe's place, batting sixth. O'Hoppe ended the season on a high note, batting .478 (11-for-23) with three doubles and a homer over his last six games.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Sitting out again Sunday

    Schanuel (leg) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

    The Angels will rest their ailing regulars in favor of some less proven prospects for the season finale. Niko Kavadas draws the start at first base in Schanuel's place.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Still out Sunday

    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.

  • Byron Buxton CF | MIN

    Twins' Byron Buxton: Out again for finale

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

    Buxton also sat out Saturday after the Twins' playoff hopes were dashed. He played in more games (105) this season than he has since he played a career-high 140 games in 2017. Buxton has a no-trade clause, so he'll be back to patrol center field in 2025.

  • Willi Castro SS | MIN

    Twins' Willi Castro: Sitting Sunday

    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.

  • Carlos Correa SS | MIN

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Resting Sunday

    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.

  • Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Butler is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mariners.

    Butler had been operating as an everyday player for Oakland, but he'll get the regular-season finale off with Seth Brown starting in right field and Daz Cameron getting a rare start in left field against a righty (Logan Gilbert). Butler hit .280 with two home runs and six steals in 23 September games, and he's in line to be one of the focal points of the A's offense in 2025.
