Rivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

After going 0-for-5 with two walks while starting the past two games, Rivas will take a seat in the season finale. David Bote will spell Rivas at first base.

Alonso isn't starting Wednesday against the Nationals.

Alonso is riding a five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-15 with three runs and four walks. However, he'll get a breather for Wednesday's regular-season finale while James McCann takes over at first base and bats eighth.

Arias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Arias' streak of nine consecutive starts will come to an end in the regular-season finale while Cleveland rolls out the infield configuration that will likely be the norm for the postseason (Josh Naylor, Andres Gimenez, Amed Rosario and Jose Ramirez). While filling in at all four infield spots over the last nine games, Arias went 7-for-28 (.250 average) with three extra-base hits, seven walks and a stolen base.

Goldschmidt isn't starting Wednesday against the Pirates, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Goldschmidt is getting a breather after going 1-for-5 with a run, an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts over the last two games. Juan Yepez will start at first base and bat fifth.

Santana went a combined 4-for-8 with two walks, an RBI and two runs over both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

The veteran went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in the first game before lacing another knock, drawing another free pass and crossing the plate again in the nightcap. Santana heads into Wednesday's regular-season finale swinging a hot bat of late, hitting .412 (7-for-17) over his last five games.

Diaz isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz started Tuesday against Boston and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. He'll head to the bench for the third time in the last four games while Jonathan Aranda takes over at the hot corner and bats ninth.

Bohm isn't starting Wednesday against Houston.

Bohm is getting a rare day off during Wednesday's regular-season finale after going 3-for-17 with a home run, a double, two runs, two RBI and two strikeouts over the last four games. Dalton Guthrie will start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Casas isn't starting Wednesday against Tampa Bay, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Casas will head to the bench for a second consecutive game to close out the regular season since left-hander Josh Fleming is starting for the Rays. Eric Hosmer is starting at first base and batting seventh.

Clemens is on the bench for Wednesday's season finale in Seattle.

Despite hitting a grand slam among his four at-bats in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mariners, Clemens won't be rewarded with another start in the season finale. Even after connecting on his fifth home run of the season, the 26-year-old rookie is still sitting on a lowly .147/.198/.310 slash line over his first 126 big-league plate appearances.

Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

After he was set to sit out Tuesday's matchup before it was rained out, Mountcastle will remain on the bench for Wednesday's matinee. Jesus Aguilar will take over at first base and bat fifth versus Toronto.
