Sweeney isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game versus the White Sox.

Sweeney will get a chance to clear his head during Saturday's contest after going just 1-for-14 with four strikeouts over his last four games. While he rests, Zach McKinstry will fill in as Detroit's shortstop and bat eighth.

Volpe isn't in the Yankees' lineup Saturday versus Pittsburgh.

Volpe will get a chance to regroup during Saturday's contest after going 1-for-14 with five strikeouts over his last four games. Oswaldo Cabrera will step in to start at shortstop instead and bat eighth.

Schuemann is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Schuemann has slashed .141/.191/.188 with three runs scored and three RBI over 68 plate appearances since Sept. 1. Darell Hernaiz will start at third base Friday and bat ninth.

Walls is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Walls will yield to Jose Caballero at shortstop for the second time in three games. In September, Walls is 12-for-50 (.240) with five stolen bases, eight runs and seven RBI.

Pena is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Pena is out of the lineup for the first time since Aug. 22 for what appears to be a traditional rest day. In his place, Grae Kessinger will play shortstop and bat ninth.

Rocchio is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Astros.

It's a day off for Rocchio, who had started each of the last four games and 12 of the past 13 contests. Daniel Schneemann will play shortstop and bat ninth for the Guardians.

Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Neto (shoulder) will not play Friday versus the Rangers but could be back in action Saturday and Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Neto had to exit Thursday's game against the White Sox with right shoulder irritation after landing hard on a stolen-base attempt. However, while he will miss one start, it sounds like the injury will not be a season-ender.

Neto was removed from Thursday's game against the White Sox due to a right shoulder injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Neto suffered the injury sliding into second base while attempting to steal the bag in the fourth. After he was removed, Jack Lopez moved to shortstop while Michael Stefanic entered to play second base, and the two would likely continue to form Los Angeles' middle-infield duo if Neto is forced to miss additional games.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees.

Henderson was one of six Orioles to log multiple hits in a 17-hit barrage. This was his fourth multi-hit effort during his seven-game streak, during which he's batting .387 (12-for-31). The shortstop's late surge has lifted his season numbers to a .285/.369/.536 slash line, 37 home runs, 91 RBI, 118 runs scored and 21 stolen bases on 25 attempts.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Caballero will get a breather for the series finale while Brandon Lowe and Taylor Walls serve as the Rays' starters in the middle infield. Over his last five games, Caballero has been caught stealing in both of his attempts, but his 44 steals on the season are still good for fourth place in the majors.
