  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Sitting in Game 162

    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Realmuto will get the day off for the Phillies' regular-season finale. Assuming the catcher remains on the bench for the contest, he'll head into the playoffs with a .257/.315/.384 slash line, 12 home runs, 52 RBI and 57 runs scored across 549 plate appearances.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Taking seat Sunday

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Moreno is absent from the starting nine for Arizona's regular-season finale. Ketel Marte will DH while James McCann handles catching duties. Assuming Moreno doesn't enter off the bench, he'll finish the season with a .286/.352/.435 slash line, nine home runs, 44 runs scored and 40 RBI across 307 plate appearances.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Opens scoring with homer

    Rushing went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

    Rushing went deep off Logan Gilbert in the fifth inning to open the scoring. Since returning from a shin injury Sept. 16, Rushing has gone 5-for-19 (.263) over seven games while sharing the catching duties with Ben Rortvedt. Rushing is now slashing .200/.255/.314 with four homers, 24 RBI, 14 runs scored and four doubles over 52 big-league games this season. Rortvedt has been steady while hitting .244 in September, and as the more experienced catcher, he may continue to see a starting role in the postseason unless Will Smith (hand) is able to return.
