Mack is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game versus Atlanta.

Mack will yield to Brian Navarreto at catcher for the regular-season finale. The rookie backstop will finish his first big-league season having slashed .234/.282/.403 with 14 home runs across 105 contests.

Stowers (abdomen) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's contest versus Atlanta.

Stowers will finish the regular season having been held out of the lineup for the final four games due to an abdominal injury, though he did appear once as a pinch hitter during that span. It's not an injury that should linger too far into the offseason for Stowers, who finishes with a .239/.331/.459 batting line and 21 home runs in 2026.

Baldwin is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Marlins.

It's the first day off since June 24 for Baldwin, who will get a bit of extra rest as Atlanta gears up for the playoffs. Sean Murphy will do the catching, and Mike Yastrzemski will slot in at designated hitter.

Harris is not in the lineup for Sunday's tilt in Miami.

Harris will receive an extra day of rest as Atlanta heads into postseason play. DaShawn Keirsey will net a start in center field during Sunday's regular-season finale.

Acuna is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Miami.

Sunday's regular-season finale doesn't mean anything for Atlanta as far as the postseason goes, so Acuna will get a little rest. Brewer Hicklen will patrol right field and will bat eighth.

Smith is absent from the lineup for Sunday's contest in San Francisco.

Smith will get a little extra rest as the Dodgers head into postseason action. Hunter Feduccia will do the catching in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Moreno (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and will bat third in Sunday's game versus the Padres.

Moreno is nursing a hamstring injury that first cropped up during Friday's contest, but he'll attempt to play through the injury. The 26-year-old Moreno is also trying to win the National League batting title, as he'll enter play Sunday with a one-point edge over Luis Arraez (ankle).

Merrill is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Diamondbacks.

Merrill will receive a little extra rest as the Padres gear up for postseason play. Jase Bowen will patrol center field and will be situated in the No. 9 spot in the Padres' batting order for Sunday's regular-season finale.

Tatis is not in the lineup for Sunday's tilt versus the Diamondbacks.

It's the first day off since Aug. 12 for Tatis, who has been scorching-hot to close out the regular season in slashing .337/.413/.652 with eight home runs in September. Dustin Harris will play right field, and Jake Cronenworth will cover second base for the Padres in Sunday's finale.

Lara is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest versus the Cardinals.

Lara will begin Sunday's festivities on the bench while Sal Frelick plays right field for the Brewers. The rookie outfielder has struggled down the stretch for Milwaukee, slashing only .188/.243/.203 in September.
