Varsho is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Varsho will hit the bench Sunday after a run of four straight starts, during which he went 3-for-17 with a homer and six strikeouts. Joey Loperfido will shift to center field while Davis Schneider starts in left against Atlanta southpaw Chris Sale.

Santana (illness) is absent from Sunday's lineup against Kansas City.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a walk Saturday against Arizona.

Bregman didn't hit a ball out of the infield but managed a productive game. He's battled elbow soreness since Aug. 16 and has been in and out of the lineup, though his performance hasn't suffered significantly. Across 13 games and 48 at-bats in that span, Bregman has homered twice with four RBI and four runs scored while hitting .250.

Isbel is absent from Sunday's lineup against Minnesota.

Isbel will sit Sunday after going 1-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored across the first two games of the series. Garrett Hampson will start in center field and bat ninth.

Gimenez went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Gimenez singled and stole second in his first at-bat and added a leadoff knock in the seventh before swiping his second bag of the night. The second baseman would go on to reach three times in the contest, and he's now hit safely in six straight games to open the month. It marked his second two-steal effort this season and his seventh game with at least three hits. Gimenez is now slashing .320/.370/.640 in September with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored.

Massey is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Twins.

Massey will begin Sunday's contest on the bench after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Kansas City's 4-2 win over Minnesota on Saturday. Tommy Pham will serve as the designated hitter while Maikel Garcia starts at second base against Twins right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson.

Sheets is absent from Sunday's lineup against Boston.

Sheets went 1-for-7 with one walk and two strikeouts over the first two games of the series, and he will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout. Zach DeLoach will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the leadoff spot against Red Sox right-hander Richard Fitts.

Pena went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Pena ended a 12-game stretch without a home run, during which he hit only .178 with five RBI and four runs scored. Despite the recent drought, Pena has seen his power production bounce back in 2024, as his ISO has jumped from .118 to .134. Overall, he's delivered a well-rounded line that includes a career-high 68 RBI and 16 steals.

Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Boston.

Lopez will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 2-for-9 with one run scored across the first two games of the series. Jacob Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth against Red Sox right-hander Richard Fitts.

Lee (back) will start behind home plate and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Lee will return from a two-game absence after he was scratched from Friday's lineup due to back tightness. Lee will do the catching for starting pitcher Chris Flexen in the series finale.
