The Yankees placed LeMahieu (hip) on the 10-day injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Manager Aaron Boone said the infielder could be ready for a potential ALCS, but his absence will be huge for Sunday's regular-season finale and any potential one-game playoff that follows. Rougned Odor figures to pick up the bulk of LeMahieu's playing time for now.

Bregman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It appears to be a regular day off for Bregman as the Astros wrap up their regular season and prepare for the ALDS, which begins Thursday. Aledmys Diaz is playing third base and batting fifth Sunday.

Candelario is on the bench for Sunday's season finale against the White Sox.

Barring an appearance off the bench, Candelario finishes the season hitting .235 with a pair of doubles in his last 10 games. Isaac Paredes is starting at third base Sunday.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

The veteran slugger put the Twins on the board in the first inning, launching a 435-foot solo shot to left field. That would be all the run support Minnesota's staff would need in the shutout win. During Donaldson's current five-game hit streak, he has gone 6-for-18 with a a pair of homers and five RBI. His 26 homers and 74 RBI each ranks third on the team in 2021.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles, two total runs and three total RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over Detroit.

Moncada plated Chicago's first run in the seventh inning, doubling to right field to score Yasmani Grandal. He produced an even bigger hit in the following frame, homering to left field with a man on base to tally the game-tying and game-winning runs. Moncada has two homers and four RBI over his past four games and is batting .333 (5-for-15) over that span, with all five hits going for extra 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.
