Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Holliday is not in Thursday's lineup versus the Yankees because he's nicked up, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Mansolino didn't divulge any more details, but it seems like some general soreness Holliday is dealing with that shouldn't keep him out of action more than a day or two. Luis Vazquez is drawing a start at second base for the Orioles on Thursday, while Ryan Mountcastle has been elevated to the leadoff spot.

Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Chisholm is slashing .259/.283/.414 with three homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and five steals through 15 games in September, and the Yankees will now use a matchup against southpaw Cade Povich as a chance to get the lefty-hitting infielder a day off. Amed Rosario will draw the start at second base instead and bat fifth.

India is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mariners.

It's the second straight day India has been out of the lineup. On Thursday it will be Michael Massey at second base and batting ninth for the Royals.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a 5-2 victory against the Rangers.

Altuve's lone hit was a two-run homer off Jacob deGrom in the third inning that snapped a 2-2 tie. The veteran second baseman hasn't hit well in September -- he's at a .170 batting average through 15 games -- but he has gone deep three times and racked up nine RBI. With 26 homers on the campaign, Altuve has long surpassed the 20 home runs he swatted across 153 regular-season contests last year.

Moore will start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Since being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Moore has settled back into an everyday role at the keystone for the Angels. He'll draw a fourth consecutive start Wednesday after going 2-for-9 with a pair of solo home runs, two walks and an additional run in the previous three contests.

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

The switch-hitting Rivas will take a seat for the fourth time in five games, with three of those absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The Mariners seem to be prioritizing Rivas ahead of Cole Young at second base of late, but Jorge Polanco will remain a factor at the position on days in which he's not serving as the designated hitter.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Right-hander Kevin Gausman has been more effective against lefties than righties both this season and for his career, so the Rays will hold out Lowe and fellow left-handed hitter Josh Lowe for Wednesday's contest. Tristan Gray will step in for Brandon Lowe at the keystone.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

After making starts out of the middle infield in each of the Blue Jays' last eight games, the left-handed-hitting Gimenez will retreat to the bench while the Rays send southpaw Ian Seymour to the bump. Toronto will go with Davis Schneider at second base and Ernie Clement at shortstop Wednesday.

Schneemann is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Detroit.

Schneemann had started the last three games and nine of the last 10 tilts, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Nolan Jones will patrol center field and bat seventh for the Guardians.

Gelof is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

The right-handed-hitting Gelof finds himself on the bench for the third game in a row, this time sitting against a right-hander (Lucas Giolito) after his prior two absences from the lineup came versus lefty starters. The Athletics had been deploying Gelof as their everyday second baseman following his call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 25, but he's slashed a disappointing .230/.277/.377 with a 43.9 percent strikeout rate since that time. He appears to have moved into a reserve role while the Athletics have turned to Darell Hernaiz at second base and Brett Harris at third.
