Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

The left-handed-hitting Pederson will remain absent from the starting nine for the second straight day to close out the season while the Guardians send another southpaw (Logan Allen) to the hill. Adolis Garcia will serve as Texas' designated hitter in Pederson's stead.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Diaz will be rested along with fellow veteran Brandon Lowe in the season finale. Jonathan Aranda will serve as the Rays' designated hitter in place of Diaz, who has hit .300 with 25 home runs, three steals, 83 RBI and 79 runs in 150 games.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

He'll close out the campaign with consecutive absences against southpaws. With Larnach on the bench Sunday, Ryan Jeffers will serve as the Twins' designated hitter.

Flores went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

The 34-year-old lined a single to right field in the second inning before coming around to score on a three-run homer by Casey Schmitt. Since Bryce Eldridge was called up in mid-September, Flores has appeared in six of the Giants' last 12 games, batting .286 with three RBI, three runs scored and a home run in just 14 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .242/.307/.380 with 71 RBI, 44 runs scored, 16 long balls and a stolen base across 462 plate appearances in 124 outings this season.

Jones went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

Jones delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning that ultimately won the game for the Tigers and secured their spot in the postseason. The outfielder is now riding a three-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 4-for-9 with a home run and five RBI. Jones gives Detroit a potent bat against southpaws in the playoffs, as he's sporting a robust .970 OPS in those matchups this year.

Suzuki went 1-for-2 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.

After going 38 games without a home run, Suzuki has now gone deep in three straight contests, including a two-homer effort Thursday. The slugging outfielder is up to 31 home runs and 102 RBI for the season, both of which are easily new career highs. The recent hot stretch gives Suzuki plenty of momentum heading into the playoffs.

Polanco went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Polanco's fifth-inning blast gave the Mariners a 3-2 lead. He's homered twice over his last three games and now has 26 long balls on the year, the second-best total of any season in his career. The second baseman has added a .265/.326/.495 slash line with 78 RBI, 64 runs scored, six stolen bases and 30 doubles over 138 contests. He's batting .329 (27-for-82) with 17 extra-base hits across 23 games in September.

Ohtani isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Ohtani went 0-for-3 during Friday's victory but still managed to extend his on-base streak to 30 games by drawing a walk. The Dodgers will give him an extra day to rest Saturday in preparation for the postseason, which will allow Tommy Edman to work as the DH while Miguel Rojas starts at second base.

McCutchen isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

McCutchen will receive a day off Saturday after his 1-for-4 performance during Friday's win. Joey Bart will step in to serve as Pittsburgh's designated hitter while batting sixth.

The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Young will join the active roster for the closing days of the regular season as the Mets place Brett Baty (oblique) on the injured list. Young should provide depth at the corner infield positions, but he doesn't have a clear path to playing time.
