Marte went 2-for-3 with a double, two-run single and sacrifice fly in Sunday's 11-3 win over the Rockies.

Marte extended Arizona's lead to 7-0 in the sixth and picked up two more RBI with a single an inning later. Though he logged a solid .287 batting average, Marte saw his power production drop off substantially this season. After swatting 32 homers and driving in 92 runs in 2019, Marte hit just two long balls while tallying 17 RBI across 181 at-bats during the shortened campaign.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Since the Mets have been eliminated from the postseason, manager Luis Rojas will rest a few of his everyday players in McNeil, Dominic Smith and J.D. Davis with little at stake in the regular-season finale. Assuming McNeil goes unused off the bench, he'll wrap up his third big-league season with a .311/.383/.454 slash line over 209 plate appearances.

Arroyo is out of the lineup Sunday in Atlanta, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Arroyo started the past four games but will head to the bench for the season finale. Jonathan Arauz receives the start at second base Sunday, batting ninth.

Castro (back) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Royals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Castro is out of the lineup after exiting Saturday's contest with lower-back tightness, and he'll be available off the bench only in an emergency. Brandon Dixon receives the start at first base for the Tigers on Sunday.

Biggio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Baltimore lefty John Means no-hit the Jays for 5.2 innings, but Biggio ruined his night by taking him deep in the sixth for the game's first run. The 25-year-old is slashing .253/.375/.438 on the year with eight homers and six steals in six attempts -- in fact, Biggio is a perfect 20-for-20 on the basepaths to begin his big-league career. Per Sportsnet, he is seven successful steals shy of tying Tim Raines for the MLB record in that department.

Mayfield started at shortstop and went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.

One day after clinching a postseason berth, the Astros gave several regulars a rest day, including shortstop Carlos Correa. Mayfield was one of four backups in the lineup. The RBI was just his third of the season and first since Aug. 25.

Rosario went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during a 4-3 loss to the Nationals in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Andres Gimenez got the start at shortstop for the matinee but left in the second inning with an oblique strain, and Rosario then took Max Scherzer deep in the fourth as his replacement. After an 0-for-3 showing in the nightcap, Rosario is wrapping up a tough campaign that's put his spot as the Mets' shortstop of the future in jeopardy, posting a .245/.266/.367 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 20 runs and a baffling zero steals on only one attempt through 45 games.

Arraez went 4-for-4 with three doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Reds.

Arraez put the ball in the gap for extra bases in the first, third and fifth innings, twice against Luis Castillo. It was quite a way for Arraez to reintroduce himself after he missed more than two weeks with knee and ankle issues. He is now batting .315 in 108 at-bats and should be a fixture near the top of the order again given his contact skills, although that average he has provided has been mostly empty to this point (zero homers, zero steals).

Castro was removed from Saturday's game against the Royals with lower-back tightness.

Castro went 1-for-3 with a run and appeared uncomfortable during his final plate appearance. According to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, it's a minor issue for the 26-year-old, and he may be available to play in Sunday's series finale.
