Segura is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Segura will remain on the bench for the third straight game to close out the season after the Phillies were eliminated from the playoffs. Barring an appearance off the bench, he'll finish the campaign with a .290/.348/.436 slash line, 14 homers, 58 RBI, 76 runs and nine stolen bases.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.

Suarez continued his hot September with yet another home run. This one was of the two-run variety off Max Kranick, and Suarez followed it up with a double to make it a multi-hit night. With one game to go, the third baseman is now hitting .371 in MLB's final month with eight home runs. If he could ever reduce the swing-and-miss in his game, the 30-year-old has the pop to be one of the better sluggers in the game. Alas, even with his late season surge he's hitting just .197 on the year with 171 strikeouts.

Davis will have surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left hand immediately after the season concludes, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Davis has battled the injury throughout the season, with surgery initially being deemed unnecessary. However, he'll now fly to Ohio immediately after the season to have the procedure done. Davis will require two months off after the surgery, and will be in a splint for four-to-six weeks. It is expected that Davis will be fully healthy well before the start of spring training.

Farmer (abdomen) will not play in either of the Reds' final two games, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Farmer was held out of Saturday's lineup due to an abdominal strain, and it was later revealed that he would also be sidelined Sunday. He'll close the season with a .263/.316/.416 line to go along with 16 home runs, 63 RBI and 60 runs scored. Jose Barrero starts in Farmer's place at shortstop while hitting sixth Saturday, and he may get another chance to start Sunday.

Sosa (wrist) is starting Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Sosa had been out of the lineup in each of the last seven games due to a wrist injury, but he went 1-for-1 off the bench Friday. He'll start at the keystone and bat seventh while Paul DeJong serves as the starting shortstop.

Newman isn't starting Saturday's game against the Reds.

Newman went 3-for-4 with two RBI, a run and a strikeout in Friday's series opener, and he'll get a breather Saturday. Oneil Cruz will make his major-league debut at shortstop and bat eighth.

Farmer (oblique) isn't starting Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Farmer tweaked his oblique ahead of Friday's series opener, and manager David Bell acknowledged that the injury could keep the 31-year-old sidelined for the remainder of the year. Jose Barrero will take his place at shortstop and bat sixth Saturday.

Riley will sit Saturday against the Mets.

Riley will rest along with several of his teammates as Atlanta looks to keep players well rested for the postseason. Ehire Adrianza starts at the hot corner.

Segura isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Segura will be out of the lineup for a second straight contest since the Phillies have been eliminated from postseason contention. Ronald Torreyes will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

Longoria will rest after starting 10 of the last 11 games at third base. Kris Bryant will start at the hot corner Saturday.
