McClanahan (forearm) will not return before the conclusion of the regular season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

McClanahan played catch Friday, and manager Kevin Cash described it as a "good" session for the southpaw. McClanahan has been sidelined since Sept. 4 while nursing left forearm tightness, and he will now shift his sights on potentially being available for Tampa Bay during the postseason.

Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers.

Antonacci tallied a steal in the first inning before driving in two on a double in the fourth. It was a solid effort in what has been a tough second half for the rookie, who's posted a .698 OPS overall in 60 contests since the All-Star break. On the season, he's slashing .270/.363/.391 with eight homers, 48 RBI, 76 runs scored and 19 stolen bases across 534 plate appearances.

Anderson (2-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing three hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out seven.

Anderson conquered Coors Field, dominating the Rockies with career highs in innings and strikeouts in his first scoreless outing at the big-league level. Since being promoted Aug. 22, the young southpaw has made six starts, posting a 4.18 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB across 32.1 innings. Anderson will look to close the campaign on a high note, with his final start of the season lined up for Saturday against the Angels.

Meidroth went 1-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers.

Meidroth stole a base and came around to score in the second inning before launching a two-run homer in the fifth. The 25-year-old has gone hitless in four of his past 10 games, but he has managed five extra-base hits, seven RBI and nine runs scored in that span. For the year, he's slashing .268/.343/.401 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 87 runs scored and four steals across 629 plate appearances.

Melton exited Sunday's 8-1 loss to the White Sox in the fourth inning with right arm discomfort, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Melton left the game after recording two outs in the bottom of the fourth frame, and his removal from the contest is now understood to have been due to arm discomfort. Manager A.J. Hinch outlined that Melton was dealing with some "achiness" in his right arm, and the pitcher will undergo further examination in the near future.

Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six over 4.1 scoreless innings.

Martin threw 43 of 70 pitches for strikes with 11 whiffs while keeping the Tigers off the board but departed before he could qualify for a potential win. The 29-year-old has been excellent while working on a limited workload in September, yielding just two earned runs through four outings this month while averaging just over 72 pitches per appearance in that span. He'll carry a 3.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 121:45 K:BB across a career-high 145.1 innings into his last matchup of the regular season at home against the Rockies next weekend.

Wacha did not factor into the decision Sunday against Pirates, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Wacha did a good job limiting damage Sunday, as he held Pittsburgh to just two runs despite issuing four walks, matching a season high. The veteran right-hander has been solid down the stretch, posting a 2.70 ERA over 37.2 innings in his last five outings. His ERA now sits at 3.33 on the season with a 1.11 WHIP and 154:53 K:BB. Wacha will likely make one more start this season, currently lined up to come at home against Cleveland.

Jones went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Jones sat out due to foot soreness Saturday, but he was back in the lineup Sunday. He had gone 1-for-19 with nine strikeouts over his previous four games. The outfielder is batting .248 with a .759 OPS, 11 homers, 39 RBI, 33 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases over 81 contests this season. With Trent Grisham (hamstring) sidelined for the rest of the regular season, Jones has a clear path to starting in center field until the postseason.

Lombard went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Lombard has three multi-hit efforts over his last six games, and he's added two homers in that span. His blast Sunday put the Yankees ahead as part of a four-run third inning. Lombard is batting .235 with a .676 OPS, five homers, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over his first 37 games in the majors.

Ramos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Ramos has four homers over his last 12 games dating back to Aug. 30. The outfielder is filling a part-time role, but he has been able to provide some power when in the lineup. For the year, he's hitting .241 with a .714 OPS, 13 homers, 44 RBI, 45 runs scored, 19 doubles, three triples and four stolen bases over 106 contests between the Yankees and the Giants.
