Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

Rizzo filled the stat sheet in this one, and he's up to 69 runs scored and 96 RBI this year. If he can collect four RBI in the final week of the season, the slugger will reach 100 for the fourth straight year.

Cron went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a solo homer in Tampa Bay's 5-2 win Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Serving as the designated hitter, Cron provided the Rays' second run with a double in the sixth inning before adding a solo homer in the eighth. Cron leads the Rays with 28 home runs and 70 RBI, and he has raised his batting average to .257 for the season.

Cabrera is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves.

Cabrera finds himself on the bench for the second straight game and the fourth time in the last six contests. Scott Kingery starts at shortstop in his place.

Votto is not in the lineup Sunday in Miami.

Votto sits for the second time this month. He's hit a solid .290/.405/.464 in September. Tucker Barnhart will move out to first base in his absence, with Curt Casali catching.

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

O'Hearn heads to the bench for the third time in four games as the Tigers send another left-hander to the mound in Daniel Norris. Hunter Dozier grabs another start at first base for the Royals, batting fifth.

Gurriel went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

Gurriel extended his hitting streak to eight games, including three straight multi-hit efforts, and is enjoying Houston's final homestand of the season. He's gone 14-for-32 (.438) with two home runs, three doubles and 12 RBI during his eight-game streak, all of it occurring at Minute Maid Park.

Tellez went 3-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer in a win over the Rays on Saturday.

Tellez pulled an inside cutter from Tyler Glasnow into the right-field stands in the bottom of the fourth for his second big fly in his last three games. The 23-year-old posted a .270/.340/.425 slash line with 13 homers and seven stolen bases in 444 plate appearances for Triple-A Buffalo this season, regaining some prospect luster. Justin Smoak has been riding the bench more frequently lately as the rebuilding Jays evaluate Tellez ahead of 2019.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Orioles on Saturday.

His fourth bomb in four games -- including a two-homer showing Wednesday against the Red Sox -- came on a David Hess fastball and hit the back wall of the bullpen in right-center field. The 27-year-old has been a revelation while seizing the Yankees' first-base job, blasting 11 of his 12 homers this season and churning out a .317/.389/.634 slash line in just 117 plate appearances wearing pinstripes. He'll likely have another opportunity to gash Baltimore pitching Sunday, though the Yankees may choose to rest their newfound masher now that they've clinched a playoff berth.

Abreu (infection) could be done for the season, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Manager Rick Renteria stated he's not sure if Abreu will play again this year, given the significant recovery process that the 31-year-old is facing. With the White Sox out of playoff contention, there's a good chance Abreu will be held out as a precaution.

Abreu (infection) isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

Abreu continues to be listed as day-to-day after dealing with an infection on his right thigh. Although the issue resulted in a trip to the hospital, he's back with the team and could take the field in the series finale Sunday. Matt Davidson will get the call at first base with Abreu on the bench.
