Tellez went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout in a 10-3 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Making only his second appearance since Sept. 11 due to an IL stint, Tellez reached base three times with a walk in the first inning, double and run in the fourth and an RBI double with another run in the eighth for a successful final tune-up before the playoffs. The 26-year-old first baseman concludes the season with a .242/.305/.414 slash line, 11 home runs, 34 runs and 36 RBI across 106 games between Milwaukee and Toronto.

Beaty went 3-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional run and RBI in a 10-3 win against the Brewers on Sunday.

Beaty notched a pinch-hit single in the fifth inning and subsequently scored, singled home a run in the sixth and launched a three-run homer in the eighth to push the score to its 10-3 final. The 28-year-old concludes his third big-league season with a .270/.363/.402 slash line, seven home runs, 35 runs and 40 RBI in 120 games.

The Yankees transferred Voit (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

After experiencing inflammation in his left knee, Voit was placed on the IL on Thursday. Though the Yankees viewed his injury as a multi-week issue, Voit initially appeared to have hope of making a potential return in late October or early November if New York enjoyed a deep postseason run, but his move to the 60-day IL now takes that off the table. To fill Voit's spot on the 40-man roster, the Yankees selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Brady Koerner and subsequently optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Cron is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Cron is one of several Rockies who will get a breather in a mostly meaningless season finale for the 74-86 club. Through 546 plate appearances on the season, the 31-year-old Cron has hit .279 with 28 home runs, 92 RBI, 70 runs and a stolen base.

The Cubs transferred Rivas (finger) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Rivas had already been ruled out for the season after landing on the 10-day IL on Sept. 21 with an injury to his right middle finger. His move to the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for minor-league catcher Tyler Payne, who will serve as the backup to starter Erick Castillo in Sunday's season finale in St. Louis. The transaction won't affect Rivas' recovery timeline, as the 25-year-old rookie is expected to be in line for a relatively normal offseason.

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

The veteran gets a rare day off, but he'll be back in action when the ALDS begins in Houston on Thursday. Andrew Vaughn is playing first base and batting eighth Sunday.

Voit (knee) will be out of action for the next few weeks but could return if the Yankees go deep into October, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

Voit was placed on the 10-day IL on Thursday, but it appears likely that he'll need more than the minimum stay before he's ready to return. That probably rules him out of the ALDS -- should the Yankees get that far -- but leaves the door open for Voit to return if New York advances to the ALCS. The slugger played sparingly down the stretch and, barring injury to others on the roster, would likely fill a bench role if he does see postseason action.

Gurriel is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Currently boasting a .318 average, Gurriel is in position to win the AL batting title. Marwin Gonzalez fills in at first base and bats seventh Sunday.

Guerrero (ankle) is batting third and playing first base Sunday against the Orioles.

As expected, Guerrero is good to go after rolling his ankle and exiting Saturday's game. He has an enticing matchup against left-handed starter Bruce Zimmermann.

Dalbec is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Dalbec sits for a second consecutive game as the Red Sox take on another right-handed starter, and matchups will likely determine whether he's in the lineup for Game 163 or the wild card game. Kyle Schwarber is starting at first base Sunday.
