Collins is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

It marks the third time over the last four games that Collins has been out of the lineup, as he could be slipping into a reserve role. Nick Loftin will cover left field for the Royals in Tuesday's series opener.

White underwent Lisfranc surgery on his right foot Tuesday.

White hasn't played in nearly two weeks, and the decision was made to have surgery after consultations. There's no word on how long his rehab will take, but White's season is over and there's a decent chance he's non-tendered this winter.

Scherzer won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Orioles since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

The right-hander had been lined up to potentially make two starts during the final week of the regular season, but Tuesday's postponement likely means Toronto will have to go in a different direction Sunday against Cincinnati. The game is being made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, with Scherzer likely to start one of those contests. The 42-year-old has a 4.26 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 50.2 innings since returning from back and thumb injuries in late July.

Bassitt won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Blue Jays since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

The contest will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday as the two teams conclude the season series in Baltimore. Bassitt will presumably start one of those contests in what should be his final appearance of the season. Since returning from back surgery in mid-August, the veteran right-hander has a 3.76 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB across 40.2 innings (seven starts).

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that the does not anticipate Judge (calf) being ready for the wild-card series next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list this past weekend with a right calf strain that Boone revealed Tuesday was "moderate." The outfielder was given a platelet-poor plasma injection in his calf Monday and will rest for a few days to allow the shot to take effect. Judge will aim to be ready for the ALDS, should the Yankees advance, but nothing is guaranteed. Heliot Ramos will be asked to pick up the slack in right field while Judge is sidelined.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Schmidt underwent testing on his right biceps and is "in a pretty good spot," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander was warming up to enter Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks until he experienced some biceps soreness, per Hoch, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Schmidt is scheduled to play catch Tuesday to help determine his availability.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Williamson was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees because his right hamstring is "a littlesore," Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 25-year-old was penciled in at shortstop for Tuesday's matinee but will now begin the contest on the bench. Williamson was just reinstated from the injured list Sunday after missing six weeks with an injury to the same hamstring, so it's worrisome that it's bothering him again. However, Cash believes Williamson could be ready to play during Tuesday's nightcap, so he should be considered day-to-day for now. Jorge Mateo is starting at shortstop for Tampa Bay in Tuesday's afternoon contest.

Rodriguez (back) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list at some point this week, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Rodriguez has been shelved since early September with a lower-back strain, but his activation is imminent after he made three rehab appearances for Triple-A Durham. The righty has appeared in only four games for the Rays in 2026, as he got a late start to the season while recovering from flexor tendon surgery.

Chisholm (thumb) said Tuesday that he will be activated from the 10-day injured list before the second game of the doubleheader versus the Rays, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Chisholm sustained a right thumb sprain just two weeks ago, but he will skip a rehab assignment and be thrown back into the mix beginning with Tuesday's nightcap. The impending free agent had gotten off to a hot start in September before getting hurt, going 6-for-18 with one home run. Anthony Volpe has played well while filling in for Chisholm at second base and could get a look at third base after Chisholm returns.

Walls is absent from the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

The Rays will roll out Ben Williamson at shortstop for Tuesday's matinee. Walls should be back to man the position for the nightcap.
