    Astros' Alex Bregman: Sitting Sunday after delay

    Bregman was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Guardians while it was in a rain delay, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The game had been delayed for almost an hour when the team submitted a new lineup without Bregman, Jose Altuve or Kyle Tucker, as the Astros opted to not risk one of their veterans getting injured in subpar conditions ahead of the playoffs.

  • Jazz Chisholm 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out finale

    Chisholm is not in Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

    The Yankees are resting Juan Soto and Aaron Judge as well. Chisholm is 5-for-12 with one home run, two doubles and two steals over his last three games, giving him plenty of momentum heading into the playoffs.

  • Aaron Judge CF | NYY

    Yankees' Aaron Judge: Scratched Sunday

    Judge was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

    Given that Juan Soto and Jazz Chisholm are also off, it sounds like the Yankees just opted to rest their star slugger at the last minute. The game was delayed due to inclement weather, so it makes sense to not have Judge out there in poor conditions. Judge went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts Saturday.

  • Pirates' Bryan De La Cruz: Not in lineup again

    De La Cruz is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Yankees.

    De La Cruz will begin Sunday's contest on the bench as Nick Yorke gets the start in right field and bats seventh. Since being acquired by the Pirates from the Marlins in late July, De La Cruz has slashed .200/.220/.294 with three home runs and 17 RBI across 168 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Idle Sunday

    McCutchen is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    McCutchen will sit for a second straight game as Bryan Reynolds serves as the designated hitter Sunday and bats second. Unless he comes in to pinch hit, McCutchen will end the regular season having slashed .232/.328/.411 with 20 home runs and 50 RBI across 515 plate appearances.

  • Adolis Garcia RF | TEX

    Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Out with knee injury

    Garcia (knee) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Angels.

    Given that he left Saturday's game with a knee injury and the Rangers have nothing to play for, it's not surprising Garcia will sit out the finale. Dustin Harris gets the start at designated hitter, batting eighth.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Sitting Sunday

    Kiner-Falefa is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Yankees.

    Jared Triolo will start at third base and bat sixth in Pittsburgh's regular-season finale. As a member of the Pirates this season, Kiner-Falefa slashed .240/.265/.322 with eight stolen bases, one home run and 10 RBI across 215 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Sitting again Sunday

    Arenado is not in Sunday's lineup against the Giants.

    Arenado will get the last two games of the season off. Jose Fermin is starting at the hot corner, batting ninth.
