Urshela is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

Over the last seven games, Urshela has gone just 3-for-17 (.176), bringing his batting average down to .224 for the year. He'll give way to Yandy Diaz at the hot corner Sunday. Diaz and Urshela have shared time at third base fairly evenly recently, so it remains to be seen who will be Cleveland's primary option when the Indians begin the playoffs.

Donaldson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.

Donaldson will give way to Darwin Barney at the hot corner Sunday afternoon. Donaldson dealt with injuries throughout the year and was only able to play in 113 games. He was extremely efficient in that time, as he slugged 33 home runs and notched 78 RBI. However, he did experience a dip in terms of average, as he hit .270 this season, down from his 2016 mark of .284.

Segura is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon Beckham will man shortstop as Ben Gamel leads off against right-hander Ricky Nolasco. Segura just returned to the Mariners' lineup Friday after missing four games with a finger injury, finishing 3-for-3 with a double and a stolen base. There has been no word of any kind of setback with the finger -- the Mariners just have no reason to push it at this stage of the game.

Candelario is out of Saturday's lineup against the Twins.

He returned from a wrist injury Friday, but heads back to the bench in the penultimate game of the season. Nick Castellanos will start at third base and hit third.

Longoria is out of the lineup against Baltimore on Saturday.

Despite homering Friday, Longoria will receive a day off following four straight starts. In his place, Daniel Robertson will pick up a start at the hot corner.

Longoria went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

Longoria went deep for the second time in the last six contests and reached the 20-homer mark for the fifth consecutive season. The 31-year-old has seen a general power downturn in 2017, but he's at least enjoyed a bit of a resurgence in that department in September. After blasting just one round tripper in August, he's tripled that figure this month.

Moustakas went 3-for-4 in Friday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

With only three home runs in 82 at-bats in September, Moustakas' power production has dipped down the stretch, but it's still been enough for him to establish a new franchise record with 38 long balls on the campaign. The third baseman is at least helping fantasy owners down the stretch in the batting-average department, with his three hits Friday bringing his mark up to .324 over his last 10 contests.

Moncada went 2-for-4 in Friday's 10-1 loss to the Indians.

Moncada's wobbly start in the majors when he was called up in July is a distant memory thanks to a very productive finish to the season. The rookie's hitting .313/.375/.537 with five home runs, 11 RBI and 18 runs scored over his last 19 games. The future is now for Moncada, who will return to the majors for the start of 2018 as the White Sox's starting second baseman.

Ramirez went 3-for-3 with two runs scored, two RBI and a walk in Cleveland's 10-1 victory over the White Sox on Friday.

The infielder was the catalyst for the Indians' offense in this one, helping the team chase White Sox starter Mike Pelfrey in the third inning. Ramirez now has 55 doubles and a .953 OPS on the season, thanks in part to the .411/.451/.889 slash line he's produced in his past 30 games.

Bregman went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's victory over the Red Sox.

The young infielder provided all the offense for Houston in this one, as his RBI single in the third and his two-run shot in the fifth were enough to outpace the stymied Red Sox offense. Bregman has a 1.275 OPS during his current seven-game hitting streak and now holds a .287/.355/.480 slash line on the season.
