Ballesteros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Carlos Santana will step in at designated hitter in place of Ballesteros, who will sit for the second time in the series while the Reds send another lefty to the bump in Andrew Abbott. Since being called up from Triple-A Iowa on Sept. 9, Ballesteros has posted a .999 OPS over nine games. He should have a clear path to regular playing time against right-handed pitching while Kyle Tucker (calf) remains on the shelf.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Yelich will dodge a same-handed matchup against southpaw Matthew Liberatore on Sunday, clearing a spot in the lineup at designated hitter for Rhys Hoskins. While starting in each of Milwaukee's previous 11 games, Yelich went 12-for-48 (.250 average) with two home runs.

Stanton isn't starting against Baltimore on Sunday.

Stanton will get at least a partial day of rest after clubbing his 450th career homer in a win Saturday. Aaron Judge is getting a day off his feet as the Yankees' DH on Sunday, while Cody Bellinger is shifting from left field over to right.

Yoshida went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

Yoshida extended an RBI streak to five games when his single plated the second run in Boston's three-run ninth inning. He's knocked in six runs during the streak. September has been Yoshida's most productive month, as he's batting .302 (13-for-43) with nine RBI over 13 contests. He should see regular work as the designated hitter against right-handers over the final week of the regular season.

Pederson went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Miami.

Pederson batted leadoff for just the second time this season. He got on base in his first two plate appearances and scored after walking in the third inning. Josh Smith, who normally leads off for Texas, was dropped to sixth in the order. It's unclear if manager Bruce Bochy plans to continue using Pederson atop the order against right-handed pitching, or if this was a one-off decision.

Jones went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

The Detroit outfielder got the start with Atlanta sending Joey Wentz to the mound, and as he often does, Jones delivered against a southpaw. He's sporting a .935 OPS with six home runs in 94 at-bats against opposite-handed pitching this season. His platoon role limits his fantasy ceiling, but Jones remains a good daily option versus lefties.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Herrera will prepare exclusively as a catcher this offseason, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Herrera last saw action at catcher June 19, as he's been used as a full-time designated hitter since rejoining the Cardinals on July 13 following a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain. The move to the DH-only role was made in order to help keep Herrera healthy, but it was also due to his defensive shortcomings. Per Jim Hayes of FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, Herrera will undergo elbow surgery this offseason to correct an issue that's prevented him from getting his arm in the proper position to make throws to second base. In addition to recovering from surgery, Herrera will focus on improving his game calling. Marmol noted that Herrera's chances of sticking at catcher will "play out" during spring training, but the team is heading into the offseason expecting him to factor into the picture behind the plate. Herrera will likely finish 2025 with 14 games played (13 starts) at catcher, so he won't have eligibility at the position in most fantasy leagues entering next season. However, he should have a good chance to regain that eligibility early on in 2026.

Valera went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Twins.

Getting the start in right field and hitting seventh, Valera took Joe Ryan deep in the second inning, one of four Cleveland long balls off the right-hander in a 6-0 victory. It was Valera's first career big-league homer, and through his first 10 MLB games he's batting .269 (7-for-26) with two doubles, three runs, three RBI and a 4:9 BB:K.

Devers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Dodgers.

The Giants couldn't hold a 4-0 lead from the first inning, and Devers' blast in the seventh wasn't enough to forge a comeback. The infielder had gone just 5-for-47 (.106) over 13 games between long balls. Through 156 games between the Red Sox and San Francisco this season, he's at a .251/.370/.469 slash line with 32 homers, 105 RBI, 94 runs scored, 31 doubles and one stolen base.

Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

Ohtani's power is surging again, just as the Dodgers look to secure the NL West title. He's homered four times over his last five games and is up to 53 long balls on the year. The two-way superstar has added a .283/.395/.623 slash line, 99 RBI, 141 runs scored, 19 stolen bases, 24 doubles and eight triples over 152 contests. Ohtani is one homer away from matching his career high from last year, and he's one RBI away from securing his third season of at least 100.
