Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Detroit, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Norby started the previous four games and will receive a day off after going 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's contest, boosting his OPS in September to .793 through 10 contests. Adael Amador will shift to the keystone Sunday while Mickey Moniak serves as the DH, opening up right field for Troy Johnston.

Karros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Karros started the past five games after returning from a concussion Tuesday and will get a breather Sunday after going 3-for-19 with a triple and a solo homer. Vimael Machin will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh for the Rockies in the series finale.

Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Goodman will take a seat Sunday after starting the previous five games as he continues to struggle offensively with a .122/.200/.286 slash line across his past 13 contests. Brett Sullivan is working behind the plate and batting eighth in the series finale for Colorado.

Baty (knee) is starting at second base and batting eighth in Sunday's series finale against the Yankees.

Baty was out of the Mets' lineup for the last two games while working through a left knee injury, but he's been cleared to play in Sunday's matinee. He recorded a hit in each of his six games prior to his injury, going 6-for-14 with two home runs, 10 RBI and two doubles in that span.

Jimenez (knee) faced five hitters in a simulated bullpen session Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Jimenez is in the final stages of his recovery from surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, which he underwent in October of 2024. The next step for the veteran right-hander is to pitch in an instructional league game, since the minor-league season is coming to an end. Jimenez is unlikely to pitch for Atlanta this season, but he is trending toward being available for the start of spring training.

Norby went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Norby continues to play a prominent role in the Rockies' lineup, particularly against lefties. He's hit second in the order in six consecutive games against southpaws, and he's hit well overall since the start of September. Across 10 games, he's maintained a .273 average with a 10.5 percent walk rate, one home run, two RBI and six runs scored.

Cornelio will serve as the Nationals' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Angels, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

Cornelio will draw his second start of the season after firing three scoreless innings as an opener his last time out Tuesday in San Diego. The right-handed rookie has regularly worked multiple frames for the Nationals, throwing at least 30 pitches in 10 of his 13 big-league appearances. Jake Irvin -- Sunday's originally scheduled starter -- could be an option to follow in bulk relief, though the Nationals haven't revealed their pitching plans beyond Cornelio's starting assignment.

Rumfield went 3-for-5 with a double Saturday against the Tigers.

Rumfield tallied a double in the first inning to start his fourth multi-hit performance in his last eight games. Most of that damage came during the team's homestand ending Sept. 6, but he is still hitting .406 with four RBI, six runs, three doubles, a triple and a home run across his last eight contests. Rumfield is wrapping up a solid rookie season, as he's maintained a 124 wRC+ across 583 plate appearances.

Irvin will no longer start Sunday's game against the Angels as previously scheduled and is instead expected to pitch behind opener Riley Cornelio, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

It will be the first appearance out of the bullpen in Irvin's major-league career. After missing all of June and most of July due to a shoulder injury, the 29-year-old has gone 0-5 with a 5.90 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:20 K:BB over 39.2 frames in eight starts since coming off the IL.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Ramirez scored two runs for the second straight game and also tallied his first multi-hit performance of the month. The rookie infielder is batting just .161 through 31 September at-bats, and it seems like he could be starting to hit a wall in what's been a strong debut overall. Ramirez should continue to see regular time at second base in the short term, but the return of shortstop Dansby Swanson (oblique) from the injured list next week will shift Nico Hoerner back to the keystone, which figures to send Ramirez to the bench most days.
