  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Idle for season finale

    Jackson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    With Tyler O'Neill picking up his second start in right field in three days, Jackson will hit the bench for the second time this weekend. Unless he's called upon as a reserve, Jackson will wrap up the campaign with a .276/.328/.447 slash line, five home runs, 21 RBI and 20 runs across 183 plate appearances with Baltimore.

    White Sox's Michael Taylor: In lineup for final career game

    Taylor announced prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals that he will retire from professional baseball following the contest, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    The 34-year-old said that he decided a few months ago that 2025 would be his last season, but he waited until the final game to confirm his plans. The White Sox will include Taylor in the lineup for Sunday's contest, as he'll occupy center field and bat ninth. The veteran has played 12 years in the big leagues and enters the finale with a .199/.256/.366 slash line, nine home runs and eight stolen bases over 321 plate appearances this season.

    White Sox's Will Robertson: Finishes season as bench player

    Robertson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    After making five straight starts, Robertson will close out the season on the bench for four of the final five contests. Since being summoned from Triple-A Charlotte on Aug. 27, Robertson has put together a weak .148/.175/.167 batting line.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Idle for season finale

    Wilson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Unless he's called upon off the bench as a pinch hitter, Wilson will wrap up his first full big-league season with a .311/.355/.444 slash line, 13 home runs, five stolen bases, 63 RBI and 62 runs in 125 games. Max Muncy will step in for Wilson at shortstop in the finale.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Receiving rest Sunday

    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    The 76-85 Athletics have little at stake in the season finale and will allow Langeliers to get some rest after he had started each of the last five contests. The 27-year-old backstop will finish his fourth MLB campaign with a .277/.325/.536 slash line, 31 home runs, seven stolen bases, 73 runs and 72 RBI in 123 games.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: Idle for season finale

    Caglianone is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    The Royals will withhold Caglianone from the lineup for the second straight day to close out the regular season, with John Rave getting another start in the outfield. Though the 22-year-old Caglianone is still viewed as a major part of the Royals' long-term future, he's had a tough go in his first taste of the big leagues, slashing just .158/.238/.297 in 231 plate appearances since being promoted from Triple-A Omaha in June.

  • 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.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Remains out Sunday

    Naylor (groin) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    The Mariners won't risk Naylor ahead of the playoffs after he was pulled from Friday's game with groin tightness. Luke Raley will start at first base and bat sixth against left-hander Clayton Kershaw in Seattle's final regular-season game of 2025.

  • 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.
