  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Moving back to reserve role

    Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Sosa had started at shortstop each of the last four games, but he'll shift back into a utility role for the regular-season finale and for the Phillies' playoff run. Trea Turner (hamstring) will reclaim the shortstop job after being activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Robert Hassell CF | WAS

    Nationals' Robert Hassell: Taking seat against RHP

    Hassell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Though he had started the previous two matchups against right-handed pitchers, Hassell will sit against White Sox righty Shane Smith in the season finale. Jacob Young will get the nod in center field instead.

  • Mets' Cedric Mullins: Idle against RHP

    Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Miami.

    Mullins continues to bleed playing time to Tyrone Taylor, ceding center field for a second straight game against a right-handed pitcher. Mullins hasn't generated multiple hits in a game since Aug. 23, and he has gone 7-for-57 (.123) at the plate during that stretch.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: On bench Sunday

    Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Seattle.

    Edman missed back-to-back games with an ankle injury before going 0-for-5 on Saturday. The 30-year-old will get a day off Sunday for Game 162, leaving second base duties to Hyeseong Kim.

  • Alec Burleson LF | STL

    Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Sitting Sunday

    Burleson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Burleson's streak of 17 consecutive starts comes to an end in Game 162, as he gets the day off in a meaningless contest for the Cardinals. Yohel Pozo will handle first base.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | ATL

    Braves' Vidal Brujan: On bench for season finale

    Brujan (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Brujan hasn't appeared in a game since Sept. 21 after leaving that contest with right hip tightness. It's unclear if the injury remains an issue or if he simply hasn't been needed on the field. Assuming he doesn't enter Sunday's contest, the 27-year-old will finish the year with a .253/.305/.310 slash line in 95 plate appearances spanning stints with Atlanta, the Orioles and the Cubs.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Idle for Game 162

    Muncy (lower body) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Seattle.

    Muncy has been tending to a minor lower-body injury recently, and he'll be absent from the starting nine for a fourth consecutive contest. The expectation remains that Muncy will be available for the start of the NL Wild Card Series on Tuesday. Enrique Hernandez will draw another start at third base Sunday.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Still idle

    Freeman (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Freeman is out of the starting nine for a sixth straight contest to close out the regular season while he manages a sore back. Assuming he doesn't enter the contest off the bench, Freeman will finish the season with a .281/.354/.361 slash line, two home runs, 18 stolen bases, 31 RBI and 50 runs scored across 428 plate appearances.

  • Andrew Heaney RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Andrew Heaney: Booted from active roster

    The Dodgers optioned Heaney to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    Heaney had his contract selected Saturday and threw two innings of relief in his team debut, allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk. Since Heaney wouldn't have been available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Mariners, the Dodgers opted to call up Landon Knack from Triple-A to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen.

  • Landon Knack SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Landon Knack: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Dodgers recalled Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    Knack will join the active roster for the final game of the regular season Sunday in Seattle after lefty Andrew Heaney was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old right-hander has appeared in nine games for the Dodgers in 2025, making seven starts and posting a 5.12 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP across 38.2 innings.
