Gimenez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Ernie Clement will start at shortstop while Davis Schneider mans second base with lefty Ian Seymour toeing the rubber for Tampa Bay in the regular-season finale. Gimenez is slashing a woeful .172/.229/.234 in September, but he has nonetheless maintained a regular role against right-handed pitching to close out the campaign.

Kelly allowed no hits and a walk with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning in Saturday's 4-2 loss against the Royals.

Kelly worked a scoreless seventh inning while issuing just a walk to Mike Yastrzemski. The right-hander has been excellent in September, posting a 1.93 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 11 outings, including seven straight appearances without an earned run -- his longest streak since opening the year with 10 consecutive scoreless frames. Overall, the 33-year-old owns a 2.75 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 41 appearances and 39.1 innings this season.

Alvarado allowed no hits and a walk with no strikeouts over 1.1 scoreless innings Saturday against Kansas City.

Alvarado entered in the fifth inning and recorded the final out of the frame, then worked through the sixth while allowing just one baserunner. The hard-throwing righty has been sharp down the stretch, tossing 6.1 scoreless innings over his past five appearances and posting a 1.86 ERA across nine outings in September. In his rookie season, he owns a 3.27 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 36 appearances and 41.1 innings.

Burke did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk across 4.1 relief innings. He struck out 10.

Working in a bulk role, Burke logged a season-high 10 punchouts while allowing just a pair of runs on a Daylen Lile homer. The 25-year-old Burke was solid down the stretch, posting a 3.65 ERA over his last three appearances (12.1 innings). He'll finish the year at 4-11 with a 4.29 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 133 strikeouts across 134.1 innings.

Jones went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

Jones delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning that ultimately won the game for the Tigers and secured their spot in the postseason. The outfielder is now riding a three-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 4-for-9 with a home run and five RBI. Jones gives Detroit a potent bat against southpaws in the playoffs, as he's sporting a robust .970 OPS in those matchups this year.

Basso will serve as the Athletics' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Royals, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The Athletics won't have Jeffrey Springs make his normally scheduled start in the season finale, so Basso will take the mound first in what's expected to be a bullpen day. Basso made four starts for the Athletics in 2024 but has worked exclusively as a reliever in 2025. He's eclipsed two innings in just one of his 18 appearances between the majors and minors this season, so he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order Sunday.

Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Rodriguez made his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, and he gave the Guardians an early lift with his opposite-field, two-run homer in the first inning. He later walked in the ninth as part of the rally that led to a walk-off win, clinching a playoff spot for Cleveland. The Guardians can still claim the AL Central title Sunday with a win or a Detroit loss.

Kayfus entered Saturday's game as a pinch hitter, stayed in to play first base and was hit by a pitch in a 3-2 win over Texas. He went 0-for-1 with an RBI.

Kayfus was the subject of an odd walk-off victory, when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded that scored the game-winning run and clinched the postseason for the Guardians. Cleveland's not done there; it can finish tops in the AL Central with a win Sunday or a Detroit loss. Kayfus has been a streaky hitter since his call-up in early August, but he's finishing the regular season on a high note with a .905 OPS, six doubles, two home runs and 11 RBI over 19 September games. The rookie should have a roster spot when the Guardians' postseason begins.

Langeliers went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

Langeliers brought the Athletics within a run with an RBI double in the eighth inning. The catcher has doubled in four straight games, each of which have been multi-hit efforts for him. He's batting .354 (28-for-79) in September, a hot stretch that has lifted his season slash line to .277/.325/.536 across 123 contests. Langeliers has added 31 home runs, 72 RBI, 73 runs scored, 32 doubles and seven stolen bases in a breakout campaign that cements him among the upper tier of catchers in the majors.

Morales (4-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Royals on Saturday.

Morales needed 101 pitches (59 strikes) in this outing, which was far from his best work of the year. Over his 10 appearances (nine starts) in the majors, the rookie right-hander maintained a 3.14 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 43:18 K:BB across 48.2 innings. Morales' body of work in 2025 was decent -- he also had a 10.3 K/9 over 47 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas despite a 4.40 ERA. He should be in contention for a rotation spot from the get-go in 2026.
