Riley isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Riley returned to the lineup Friday after sitting out Thursday's contest with quadriceps tightness. He'll retreat to the bench Saturday with Adeiny Hechavarria starting at the hot corner.

Senzel isn't starting Saturday against the Twins.

Senzel started two of the past three games, but he'll get a day off after the Reds clinched a playoff berth Friday. Brian Goodwin will start in center field Saturday.

Anderson isn't starting Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Anderson went 0-for-4 with one run and one walk in Friday's win as Miami clinched a spot in the postseason. Jon Berti will shift to third base Saturday with Jazz Chisholm starting at second.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Moustakas was brought in to be a leader on this team, and while he's had an uneven couple of months around a stint on the IL with a quad injury, he came up huge Friday to lift the Reds to their first playoff berth since 2013. He's getting hot at the right time -- Moustakas is now 9-for-23 with five doubles and three homers in his last six games.

Muncy left Friday's game against the Angels with an apparent wrist injury, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Muncy appeared to tweak his right wrist on a check swing in the fifth inning Friday, and he was replaced defensively to begin the seventh inning. It's unclear how Muncy's availability will be impacted as a result of the injury.

Escobar isn't starting the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Escobar drove in a run during the Diamondbacks' 4-0 win in the first game of the twin bill, but he'll play a bench role for Game 2. Wyatt Mathisen will start at third base.

Peterson remains out of the lineup for Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Peterson wasn't in the lineup for Friday's matinee, and he'll retreat to the bench once again for Game 2 of the twin bill. Ryan Braun will remain in right field with Daniel Vogelbach serving as the designated hitter.

Wisdom's contract was selected by the Cubs on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Wisdom will give the Cubs an extra bench bat for the final series of the season, though there's little reason to believe he'll be a particularly strong one. The 29-year-old has made just 86 career major-league plate appearances, posting a .224/.306/.408 slash line. Jose Martinez was optioned in a corresponding move.

Riley (quadriceps) is starting at first base and batting sixth Friday against the Red Sox.

The 23-year-old sat out Thursday's lineup as a precaution due to quadriceps tightness, but he's back in action for Friday's series opener. Riley has struggled through September with a .238/.304/.357 slash line in 21 games.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Peterson received four straight starts before taking a seat Thursday and now finds himself on the bench again for Friday's matinee. Ryan Braun starts in right field while Daniel Vogelbach serves as the designated hitter.
