Walls is absent from Sunday's lineup against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tampa Bay's regular-season finale. Unless he pinch hits Sunday, Walls will end the year having slashed .183/.282/.248 with 16 stolen bases, one home run and 14 RBI over 252 plate appearances.

The Yankees opted not to place Rizzo (fractured finger) on the injured list Sunday in order to keep the possibility alive that he could be an option for the ALDS, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Rizzo's availability will reportedly depend on pain tolerance. Ben Rice was recalled to start at first base Sunday in Rizzo's place, and the rookie could replace him on the postseason roster if the veteran first baseman can't give it a go.

Lowe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe will sit for the Rays' regular-season finale as Dylan Carlson serves as the designated hitter and bats seventh. Unless he pinch hits Sunday, Lowe will end the 2024 regular season with a .244/.311/.473 slash line, 21 home runs and 58 RBI across 425 plate appearances.

Effross was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Rice was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

The lefty-hitting Rice draws the start at first base and will bat eighth against lefty Bailey Falter and the Pirates. Anthony Rizzo is hoping to be available in the postseason despite suffering a fractured finger Saturday, but Rice could be an injury replacement if Rizzo is unavailable.

Yoshida may have right shoulder surgery soon, Carlos Yamazaki of Tokyo Sports Press reports.

Yoshida also expressed frustration about not getting enough at-bats and being a full-time designated hitter this year, per Chris Ryan of New Hampshire Today. The 31-year-old slashed .280/.349/.415 with 10 home runs, 45 runs, 56 RBI and two steals in 108 games this year.
