Brujan was removed from Sunday's game against the Tigers with right hip tightness.

Brujan, who picked up a start at third base Sunday, went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored prior to exiting and being replaced by Luke Williams. Given that Brujan rarely starts -- he had eight at-bats this month prior to Sunday -- he may not return to the lineup as soon as he's healthy.

Bart went 4-for-4 with a double, a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-0 win over the A's.

It's the second four-hit game this season for Bart, who's homered in back-to-back contests after hitting just one home run in his previous 80 games. Overall, the 28-year-old Bart is slashing .251/.358/.345 with four homers, 29 RBI and 21 runs scored across 321 plate appearances this season.

Canzone will start at designated hitter and will bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Though the left-handed-hitting Canzone will likely continue to sit against left-handed pitchers heading into the final week of the season, he appears to have recaptured a regular spot in the lineup versus righties after going 10-for-19 with three home runs, one double, eight RBI and five runs over his past six contests. Seattle has cleared room in the lineup for Canzone by shifting Jorge Polanco -- who had been serving as the team's primary designated hitter -- to second base.

Rivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Rivas will be left out of the lineup for the third game in a row while the Mariners make an effort to get their best bats in the lineup. To that end, Jorge Polanco will once again cover second base, allowing Dominic Canzone to serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Victor Robles occupies right field.

The Red Sox activated Abreu (calf) from the 10-day injured list prior to Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

He'll end up missing a little over a month with the calf strain and will start designated hitter and bat eighth Sunday against righty Joe Boyle. The Red Sox are tentatively scheduled to face five right-handed pitchers to start the upcoming week before potentially facing a lefty in the regular-season finale Sept. 28 versus the Tigers, so the left-handed-hitting Abreu should get plenty of opportunities to contribute in the final week.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The left-handed-hitting Marsh will take a seat for the Phillies' second straight matchup with a left-handed starting pitcher (Eduardo Rodriguez). With fellow lefty Max Kepler joining Marsh on the bench, the Phillies will roll with an all right-handed-hitting outfield of Weston Wilson, Harrison Bader and Nick Castellanos from left to right.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The left-handed-hitting Kepler had started in each of the last five games -- including twice against left-handed pitchers -- but he'll hit the bench Sunday while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill. The Phillies will run out an outfield of Weston Wilson, Harrison Bader and Nick Castellanos from left to right in the series finale.

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

Southpaw Ranger Suarez is on the bump for Arizona, so the left-handed-hitting Thomas will exit the lineup and receive his first day off since Sept. 9. Jorge Barrosa will replace Thomas in center field and will bat ninth.

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

After starting in each of the last five games, the left-handed-hitting McCarthy will bow out of the lineup while the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill. Tim Tawa will check in for McCarthy in left field and will bat seventh.

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

After catching all nine innings of Saturday night's 4-3 win, McCann will rest for the day game. Gabriel Moreno will settle in behind the dish for Arizona.
