Sosa went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and three runs Sunday against the Tigers.

Sosa clubbed a three-run blast in the third inning, his eighth homer of the season. The three hits and three RBI matched his season highs. Over his final 14 games, Sosa posted eight multi-hit performances, going 20-for-49 (.408) with four homers, two doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs.

Bregman was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Guardians while it was in a rain delay, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The game had been delayed for almost an hour when the team submitted a new lineup without Bregman, Jose Altuve or Kyle Tucker, as the Astros opted to not risk one of their veterans getting injured in subpar conditions ahead of the playoffs.

Chisholm is not in Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

The Yankees are resting Juan Soto and Aaron Judge as well. Chisholm is 5-for-12 with one home run, two doubles and two steals over his last three games, giving him plenty of momentum heading into the playoffs.

Rivera went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

Rivera has had to battle for playing time ever since he got to Baltimore, but he's produced with a .323/.380/.597 slash line over 26 games with the team. He doubled his homer total with the Orioles in a big game Saturday. Overall in 2024, he's slashing .240/.314/.346 with five homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases across 300 plate appearances between the Orioles and the Marlins. With Baltimore having gotten healthier late in the regular season, Rivera may be limited to a bench role if he's included on the postseason roster.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss against the Astros.

Ramirez took Justin Verlander deep in the first inning, and he's now one homer away from a 40-40 season. If he plays in Sunday's season finale, Ramirez has a chance to become the first primary third baseman ever to post a 40-40 season.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates.

He got the Yankees on the board with a fifth-inning solo shot off Mike Burrows, but the Bucs already had a 4-0 lead at that point. Chisholm reached 40 steals on the season Friday, and he now sits one homer short of 25 with one game left to play on the regular-season schedule. The 26-year-old has been outstanding for New York since being acquired at the trade deadline -- 11 of his long balls, and 18 of his stolen bases, have come in only 46 games as a Yankee.

Caminero went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.

Caminero gave the Rays the lead with a two-run homer in the third inning off Kutter Crawford, his sixth home run of the season. The 21-year-old now has three home runs over his last 10 games. Caminero has been playing regularly since getting his call-up in August, and he's now slashing .255/.306/.435 with 18 RBI in 42 games.

Westburg isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

After going 0-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's contest, Westburg will step aside Saturday while Ramon Urias starts at second base, opening up third for Emmanuel Rivera.

Bregman isn't in the Astros' lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Bregman will get a day off Saturday following his three-hit performance during Friday's win. Grae Kessinger will get the nod at the hot corner in Bregman's stead.

The Twins placed Miranda on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a lower-back strain.

With only two games left in the regular season and the Twins out of the running for a playoff spot, Miranda's move to the IL will rule him out for the rest of 2024. The 26-year-old will finish the season with a .284/.322/.441 slash line alongside nine home runs and 49 RBI across 429 plate appearances. Michael Helman was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.
