Schmitt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Schmitt will take a seat to close out the season after he had started each of the previous three games. Christian Koss will fill in for Schmitt at the keystone and will bat eighth.

Eldridge is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Eldridge will close out the season with consecutive absences from the lineup as the Giants go with Rafael Devers at designated hitter and Wilmer Flores at first base. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sacramento on Sept. 15, Eldridge has hit just .115 with a 35.3 percent strikeout rate over 34 plate appearances.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Rockies haven't announced that Moniak is dealing with an injury, but he'll nonetheless close out the season with three consecutive absences from the lineup. Yanquiel Fernandez will draw another start in right field in place of Moniak, who has compiled a .270 batting average with 24 home runs, nine stolen bases, 68 RBI and 62 runs in 135 games on the campaign.

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.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

He'll close out the campaign with consecutive absences against southpaws. With Larnach on the bench Sunday, Ryan Jeffers will serve as the Twins' designated hitter.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

He'll remain on the bench for the second day in a row while the Phillies send another lefty (Cristopher Sanchez) to the hill. If he's not needed off the bench Sunday, Julien will wrap up the season with a .220/.309/.324 slash line, three home runs, 13 runs and 12 RBI over 208 plate appearances.

Gonzalez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Gonzalez was seeing consistent run at second base, though this is now his second consecutive absence to close out the regular season. The 29-year-old has proven to be an excellent fit with the Red Sox, as he's slashed .290/.329/.457 over the past two regular seasons, and if he's healthy he figures to serve as a starter in the playoffs.

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.

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

Basallo will be rested for the season finale after he made starts at catcher and designated hitter in the first two contests of the series, going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts. Unless he's called upon off the bench Sunday, Basallo will finish out the 2025 campaign with a .165/.229/.330 slash line to go with four home runs, 15 RBI and 10 runs across 31 games with the Orioles. Despite a rough showing in his first big-league stint, Basallo is locked in as a cornerstone piece for Baltimore after inking an eight-year, $67 million contract with the club in August.

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.
