  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Ready for Game 1 despite illness

    Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday that Bregman should be fine to play in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series on Tuesday versus the Yankees despite missing the final two games of the regular season due to illness, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Bregman was kept away from the club for most of the past two days and traveled separately from the team to New York, but he worked out on the field at Yankee Stadium on Monday and will be ready to roll for Game 1. The 31-year-old stumbled a bit to the finish line in slashing just .216/.310/.330 in September, but his full-season OPS of .821 was his highest mark since 2019.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Doubles in season finale

    Chapman went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Rockies.

    Chapman lined a double to left field in the fourth inning, marking his 23rd two-bagger of the 2025 campaign. The third baseman took a slight step back in his second season with San Francisco, during which he missed significant time due to a sprained right hand. Over 128 regular-season games, the 32-year-old slashed .231/.340/.430 with 76 runs scored, 61 RBI, 21 home runs and nine stolen bases across 535 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Finishes breakout year

    Garcia went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Athletics.

    Garcia wasted no time, ripping a leadoff double on the first pitch of the game before adding a sacrifice fly in the second inning and an RBI single in the fourth. The strong regular-season finale lifted his 2025 OPS to an even .800 with 39 doubles, five triples, 16 homers, 74 RBI and 23 stolen bases across 160 games, cementing a breakout year after he posted just a .613 OPS in 157 games last season.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Homers in Sunday's win

    Machado went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Sunday's 12-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Machado was done after three innings with the Padres leading 6-2 at the time. That was likely to afford him some extra rest ahead of the playoffs. The third baseman went 14-for-46 (.304) with four homers and 11 RBI over his last 12 games of the regular season. Overall, he posted a .275/.335/.460 slash line with 27 homers, 95 RBI, 91 runs scored, 14 stolen bases and 33 doubles across 159 games, numbers largely in line with his performances in 2023 and 2024.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Swipes trio of bases in win

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with three steals in Sunday's 9-8 extra-inning win against the Rangers.

    Ramirez drew the start at designated hitter and tallied three stolen bases in a contest for the third time this season. The Cleveland star pilfered both second and third off Texas starter Patrick Corbin in the third before tallying his last steal off Jose Corniell in the ninth. Ramirez wraps another stellar fantasy season in which he reached the 30-homer/40-steal mark for the second consecutive campaign and slashed .282/.360/.503 with 103 runs and 85 RBI in 667 plate appearances.

  • Andy Ibanez 3B | DET

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Reaches four times, swipes base

    Ibanez went 3-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    With Detroit resting several regulars with a playoff spot locked up, Ibanez picked up a start in the regular-season finale and delivered his first three-hit effort of the year. The utility player wraps up his regular season with a .239/.301/.352 slash line across 91 games, and he'll give the Tigers a versatile bench option as they enter the postseason.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Expected back for wild-card round

    Manager Dave Roberts said that he expects Muncy (lower body) to return to the lineup Tuesday for the first game of the Dodgers' wild-card series, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Enrique Hernandez picked up the start at third base for Sunday's regular-season finale in Seattle, but Muncy looks like he'll be ready to go for the start of the Dodgers' playoff run after lower-body soreness has kept him from playing since Wednesday. Injuries limited the 35-year-old to 100 games during the regular season, with Muncy slashing .243/.376/.470 with 19 home runs, four steals, 67 RBI and 48 runs across 388 plate appearances.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Sitting out third straight game

    Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Moncada will take a seat for a third straight game to close out the season as the Angels go with Luis Rengifo at third base. The 30-year-old Moncada is headed for free agency this winter, and his lack of starts in the final series of the season could be an indication that the Angels aren't interested in re-signing him. Over 289 plate appearances, Moncada has slashed .234/.336/.448 with 12 home runs, 35 RBI and 39 runs.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Getting Sunday off

    Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    With Houston having been officially eliminated from playoff contention following Saturday's action, Paredes and other key regulars will sit for the season finale. Jesus Sanchez will serve as the Astros' designated hitter in place of Paredes, who went 5-for-27 (.185) with one home run, three RBI and two runs while starting eight consecutive games following his Sept. 19 reinstatement from the injured list.

  • Carlos Correa 3B | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Sitting out season finale

    Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    With Houston having been officially eliminated from playoff contention following Saturday's action, Correa and other key regulars will sit for the season finale. Ramon Urias will step in at third base in place of Correa, who rebounded with a .290/.355/.430 slash line, six home runs, 21 RBI and 23 runs in 51 games with the Astros after being acquired from the Twins on July 31.
