Devers is out of the lineup against the Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS on Friday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Devers will head to the bench with left-hander J.A. Happ on the mound for New York. In his absence, Eduardo Nunez will man third base and bat sixth.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Muncy delivered a two-run blast over the fence in left-center field during the fifth inning to extend the Dodgers' lead to four. The 28-year-old has collected two RBI in each of the last three ballgames, and he finished the season with a .263/.391/.582 slash line through 137 games. Los Angeles is scheduled to match up with the Braves in the NLDS starting Thursday.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Dodgers.

Arenado got the Rockies into the scoring column in the ninth inning, but they'd fall in Game 163 with Los Angeles emerging as the division champs. He'll end the regular season as the National League leader in home runs (38). The 27-year-old will have at least one more game left in 2018, as Colorado is set to face off against the Cubs on Tuesday in the wild-card game.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

The rookie logged his first start since Sept. 15 in the finale and made good use of the opportunity. Wisdom was solid in his first taste of major-league action in 2018, but his path to the big leagues with the Cardinals organization remains murky due to the team seemingly set at both corner infield spots with Matt Carpenter and Jedd Gyorko.

Segura is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Segura remained in the starting nine Saturday after being benched for a lack of hustle in Friday's game, but the veteran will take a seat for the season finale. The Mariners have all but three of their regular starters on the bench, with Andrew Romine taking over at shortstop and batting ninth. Segura could still enter the game but is likely to finish the season with a .304/.341/.415 slash line, 20 stolen bases and 10 home runs.

Muncy is not in the lineup Sunday against the Giants, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

With lefty Andrew Suarez tossing for San Francisco, it comes as little surprise that Muncy will retreat to the bench. Unless he gets to the plate one more time as a pinch-hitter (or in a potential game 163), he'll finish the season with a career-best .957 OPS to go with 33 home runs, 75 RBI and 72 runs scored. David Freese will replace him at first base for the afternoon.

Escobar is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

Escobar is currently riding a 10-game hit streak, but he'll head to the bench for a day off Sunday. Unless he logs a pinch-hit appearance, the infielder will finish the season with an .824 OPS, the best mark of his career. Chris Owings will man the hot corner to replace him.

Anderson is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

The 25-year-old had started the past eight games, but he'll get a day off Sunday despite producing a 1.008 OPS in that span. Anderson will finish the season with 11 homers, 65 RBI, 87 runs scored and a .757 OPS as Derek Dietrich replaces him at the hot corner for the season finale.

Devers is not in Sunday's lineup against the Yankees, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Devers started the last nine games and slashed .270/.341/.649 with four home runs in 41 plate appearances but will remain on the bench for the regular-season finale. Eduardo Nunez will start at third base and bat sixth Sunday. Devers has a .241/.299/.434 slash line with 21 home runs in 449 at-bats this season, though he could still come off the bench for the Red Sox.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with two doubles in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Twins.

The doubles give Moncada 31 for the season, and he becomes the fifth White Sox player aged 23-and-younger to record 30 or more doubles, 15 or more home runs and 60 or more RBI in a single season. His strikeout totals have rightfully made headlines -- he has an MLB-leading 216 strikeouts and a 33.4 K percentage -- but Moncada is finishing out the season with momentum. He's batted .300 (36-for-120) while dropping his strikeout rate to 28.2 percent over his last 31 games.
