    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Slated for sports hernia surgery

    Torres said after Friday's loss to Seattle that he plans to undergo sports hernia surgery in the offseason, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Torres added that he has been playing through the injury for multiple months, which helps to explain why he slashed .223/.320/.339 during the second half of the season after entering the All-Star break with an .812 OPS. His procedure isn't expected to affect his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign, so it also shouldn't interfere with the interest he receives in free agency this winter.

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Played through painful foot injury

    Altuve said during the final weekend of the regular season that he played through a "pretty painful" right foot injury and would visit with doctors in the offseason before determining a treatment plan, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Altuve injured his foot in mid-September and missed one game before gutting it out over the final two weeks of the regular season. It's unclear whether Altuve has met with doctors yet to have the foot examined. Altuve finished the 2025 season with a .265/.329/.442 batting line, 26 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 155 games. The 35-year-old split his time fairly evenly between second base, left field and designated hitter, and it's uncertain where the Astros will have Altuve slotted in in 2026.

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Expected to have normal offseason

    Rangers general manager Ross Fenstermaker said Friday that Semien (foot) is expected to have a normal offseason, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Semien last played in late August due to a fractured third metatarsal and a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot, but he has not encountered any setbacks in his recovery and will not have his offseason training interrupted. The veteran second baseman slashed .230/.305/.364 with 15 home runs and 11 stolen bases over 127 contests in 2025.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Getting Game 3 start versus lefty

    Chisholm will start at second base and bat seventh Thursday in Game 3 of the American League Wild Card Series against the Red Sox.

    The left-handed-hitting Chisholm was absent from the lineup in Game 1 versus southpaw ace Garrett Crochet, but he will be in the lineup Thursday against rookie lefty Connelly Early. Chisholm went 0-for-3 but drew a walk and scored the go-ahead run in the Yankees' Game 2 victory.

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Out of lineup against Crochet

    Chisholm is absent from the lineup Tuesday for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Red Sox.

    The left-handed-hitting Chisholm was an everyday player for the Yankees this season, but with tough southpaw Garrett Crochet on the bump for the Red Sox, Chisholm will yield to Amed Rosario at second base. For what it's worth, Chisholm is 0-for-4 with a 1:3 BB:K in his career versus Crochet.

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Cleared for wild-card series

    Manager Aaron Boone said that Chisholm (forearm) will be available Tuesday for Game 1 of the Yankees' wild-card series with the Red Sox, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Though he didn't start in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles after being plunked in the left forearm by a pitch a day earlier, Chisholm was deployed off the bench in the regular-season finale, going 0-for-1 with a strikeout while also playing the final two innings at second base. Chisholm has apparently checked out fine following that contest and will be good to go as the Yankees begin their playoff run. With a tough lefty (Garrett Crochet) on the mound for Boston on Tuesday, however, it wouldn't be surprising if the left-handed-hitting Chisholm was held out of the lineup in favor of Amed Rosario, who has gone 6-for-9 against Crochet in his career.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Tallies four hits

    Massey went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-2 victory over the Athletics.

    Massey capped the regular season swinging well, tying his season high with four hits -- his second four-hit effort in the past five games. Even with that strong finish, it's been a rough year for the utility man, who battled multiple injuries and struggled when on the field, slashing .244/.268/.313 with nine doubles, three homers and 20 RBI across 77 games.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Idle Sunday

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Tristan Gray will start at second base in place of Lowe in the season finale. Unless he's used off the bench, Lowe will finish the campaign with a .256 batting average, 31 home runs, three stolen bases, 83 RBI and 79 runs.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Taking seat Sunday

    Altuve is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    With Houston having been officially eliminated from playoff contention following Saturday's action, Altuve and other key regulars will sit for the season finale. Brice Matthews will step in at second base in place of Altuve, who has hit .265 with 26 home runs, 10 stolen bases, 77 RBI and 80 runs over 155 games on the campaign.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Resting for regular-season finale

    Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    With the Tigers clinching a playoff spot Saturday, manager A.J. Hinch will rest several key regulars in the regular-season finale in advance of the wild-card round. Along with Torres, Dillon Dingler, Spencer Torkelson, and Riley Greene will all sit out Sunday.
