Horwitz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Horwitz will take a seat for the Pirates' season finale, giving way to Rafael Flores at first base. Assuming Horwitz doesn't enter off the bench, he'll end the campaign with a .273/.354/.435 slash line, 11 home runs, 51 RBI and 55 runs scored across 410 plate appearances.

Buxton is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Buxton will take a seat for the Twins' final game of 2025, ceding center field to James Outman with Ryan Jeffers at DH. Austin Martin will move up to the leadoff spot against lefty Cristopher Sanchez. Buxton homered in Saturday's win, his fourth homer in as many games and career-high 35th of the season.

Hays (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

Hays took swings in the batting cage Saturday and felt good afterward, which is an encouraging sign, as he felt discomfort while hitting earlier in the week. Still, the outfielder will be idle for Cincinnati's regular-season finale. The Reds will clinch a spot in the postseason with a win or a Mets loss Sunday. It's unclear if Hays will be good to go in time for the wild-card round, however.

The Twins reinstated Misiewicz (pectoral) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Misiewicz has been shelved for more than three months due to a left pectoral strain, but he will presumably get some work in during Sunday's regular-season finale, which should at least provide him with some peace of mind heading into the winter. Misiewicz has allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 4.1 major-league innings so far this season.

Carroll is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Carroll is absent from the starting nine for a second straight game to close out the regular season. Assuming he doesn't enter the contest off the bench, Carroll will finish 2025 with 31 homers, 32 stolen bases, 107 runs and 84 RBI across 642 plate appearances. He has a career-high .884 OPS. Jorge Barrosa will patrol right field.

Reynolds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Reynolds is absent from the starting lineup for the regular-season finale, snapping a streak of eight consecutive starts. If he doesn't enter Sunday's contest off the bench, Reynolds will finish the campaign with a .244/.317/.399 slash line, 16 home runs and 67 runs scored -- all of which would be his worst since 2020.

Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Cruz has been dealing with ankle discomfort recently, and he'll get a breather for Pittsburgh's regular-season finale. Alexander Canario will patrol center field. Cruz is slashing .200/.298/.379 with 20 home runs and 38 stolen bases across 543 plate appearances.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Moreno is absent from the starting nine for Arizona's regular-season finale. Ketel Marte will DH while James McCann handles catching duties. Assuming Moreno doesn't enter off the bench, he'll finish the season with a .286/.352/.435 slash line, nine home runs, 44 runs scored and 40 RBI across 307 plate appearances.

Gimenez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Ernie Clement will start at shortstop while Davis Schneider mans second base with lefty Ian Seymour toeing the rubber for Tampa Bay in the regular-season finale. Gimenez is slashing a woeful .172/.229/.234 in September, but he has nonetheless maintained a regular role against right-handed pitching to close out the campaign.

Alexander (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Alexander departed Saturday's game in the second inning after being struck in the wrist by a pitch. Assuming he doesn't enter off the bench, he'll end the 2025 season with a .230/.323/.383 slash line, seven home runs, 28 RBI, 31 runs scored and four stolen bases across 266 plate appearances. Jordan Lawlar will step in at third base Sunday.
