Riley isn't starting Wednesday against Miami.

Riley has gone 0-for-10 with a run, two walks and five strikeouts over the last three games, and he'll get a rare day off for Wednesday's regular-season finale. Ehire Adrianza is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.

Arenado (undisclosed) is starting Wednesday against the Pirates, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado sat out Tuesday as a precautionary move, but he'll start at the hot corner and bat third in Wednesday's regular-season finale. However, the 31-year-old is expected to have just two plate appearances so he can get some extra rest rest ahead of the postseason.

Suarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

After starting in each of Seattle's last four games including both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, Suarez will get a breather in the regular-season finale. Abraham Toro will fill in for Suarez at third base Wednesday.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Earlier this week, Rendon made an unexpected late-season return from the wrist surgery he underwent earlier in June, serving a five-game suspension first before he was formally reinstated. He started at third base in each of the past two games and went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts. Rendon seemingly avoided any setbacks with the wrist in either contest, so he'll likely just be getting some rest as the Angels wrap up their season Wednesday.

Miranda (mouth) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Miranda had been included in the Twins' initial lineup for Wednesday, but the Twins opted to hold him out for the season finale and give him more time to move past the mouth contusion he suffered when he was hit by a pitch Tuesday. He'll close out his rookie campaign with a .268 average, 15 home runs, 66 RBI and 45 runs over 124 games.

Bride isn't starting Wednesday against the Angels.

Bride has hit .204 with a homer, 17 runs, six RBI and a stolen base over 58 major-league games this year and will remain on the bench for a third consecutive matchup to close out the regular season. Chad Pinder will step in at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Peraza went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers.

The 22-year-old couldn't follow up the big performance, going 0-for-4 in the nightcap, but Peraza still picked up his first career homer in the big leagues and his second steal. He's looked good in his first taste of the majors, slashing .319/.396/.447 through his first 53 plate appearances, and he may be earning a spot on the Yankees' playoff roster.

Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Anderson will head to the bench for the second time in three games to close out the season. The 29-year-old entered Wednesday's contest with a .657 OPS, the lowest mark of his six-year big-league career.

Chapman isn't starting the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Chapman was scheduled to get a day off for Tuesday's matchup before the game was postponed, and he'll instead sit for Wednesday's matinee. Cavan Biggio is starting at the hot corner and batting fifth.

Toro went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two additional RBI during a 9-6 victory in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Toro took Detroit pitcher Elvin Rodriguez deep in the fourth before adding a two-run single the next inning to give Seattle the lead for good. The long ball was the 25-year-old's first since Aug. 31 as he'd batted just 6-for-44 with two doubles and two walks during the 18-game drought.
