The Mariners selected Arroyo's contract from Triple-A Tacoma, and he'll start at second base and bat eighth Sunday against the Athletics.

The 21-year-old has made the transition to left field this season but has continued to see action at second base for Tacoma, and the latter position is where he'll make his MLB debut. Arroyo, who is one of Seattle's top prospects, opened the campaign with Double-A Arkansas before being promoted to Triple-A in early July. He's posted an .830 OPS with 18 home runs and 17 steals in 114 games between the two levels.

Furman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Furman will hit the bench for the second straight game while the Giants go with Jonah Cox at second base. Since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 24, Furman has gone just 4-for-24 (.167 average) with three RBI and one run in 11 games.

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

Torres started in each of the Tigers' last three games and went 6-for-14 with six runs scored in those contests, but he'll retreat to the bench for the series finale. The veteran infielder is likely to handle more of a part-time role over the final few weeks of the season while the Tigers open up more playing time for rookies Hao-Yu Lee and John Peck.

Palacios isn't in the Rays' starting lineup versus Texas on Sunday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Palacios has been flashing his power lately, hitting three homers over his past four games. However, he'll spend at least part of Sunday on the bench with the Rangers sending lefty MacKenzie Gore to the mound. Ryan Vilade is filling in for Palacios at second base in the series finale.

Frazier will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Frazier will stick in the lineup for a third straight game, this time covering an outfield spot after going 1-for-6 with a double and a run scored between the first two contests of the series while making starts at designated hitter and second base. The veteran utility man could have a path to fairly steady playing time in the short term, though Frazier could find himself as an odd man out of the lineup once Nolan Schanuel (intercostal) returns from the injured list.

Peraza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

The Angels will keep Peraza on the bench for a second straight day and will go with Vaughn Grissom at third base in the series finale in Pittsburgh. Before the two-game benching, Peraza had started the prior six contests, going 3-for-18 with a walk and a run scored.

Clement isn't starting versus Kansas City on Sunday.

Clement started the past five contests but will begin Sunday on the bench. Josh Smith is starting at second base against right-hander Randy Dobnak.

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

Though he was included in the lineup against southpaw Ranger Suarez during Friday's 1-0 loss, the left-handed-hitting Holliday will retreat to the bench Sunday while lefty Payton Tolle toes the rubber for the Red Sox. Blaze Alexander will cover second base in Holliday's stead in the series finale.

Basabe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Mets.

Basabe lined a homer to left-center field in the eighth inning, giving San Francisco an 8-3 lead. He's recorded a hit in four of the Giants' last six games, batting .286 with four runs scored, four RBI and two home runs in 17 plate appearances during that span. The 25-year-old is slashing .216/.264/.382 with 12 runs scored, 12 RBI, five long balls and two stolen bases across 111 plate appearances this season.

Kiner-Falefa started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.

Kiner-Falefa stroked a two-out, two-run double in the seventh inning to account for Boston's final offense. He entered the starting lineup as Nick Sogard moved from second to third base to cover for a slumping Caleb Durbin. With Durbin returning to the hot corner Sunday, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, Sogard moves back to the keystone and Kiner-Falefa returns to the bench. Kiner-Falefa has appeared in four of five games since being activated from the IL on Sept. 1, but only two of those outings have come as a starter.
