Castro is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Castro hit .200 with one home run and two steals over 75 at-bats in September. Austin Martin is starting in left field and batting second.

Correa is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

Correa also got Saturday's game off after the Twins were eliminated from the playoff picture. Brooks Lee will start at shortstop and bat third.

Walls is absent from Sunday's lineup against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tampa Bay's regular-season finale. Unless he pinch hits Sunday, Walls will end the year having slashed .183/.282/.248 with 16 stolen bases, one home run and 14 RBI over 252 plate appearances.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that he fully expects Rojas (thigh) to be in the lineup for Game 1 of the NLDS, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The hope was that Rojas would be back Sunday for the regular-season finale, but he will instead get another few days off in advance of the postseason. Rojas is slashing .283/.337/.410 with six home runs and eight steals in 103 games.

Swanson is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Luis Vazquez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's regular-season finale. Unless he comes in to pinch hit, Swanson will finish the 2024 regular season with a slash line of .242/.312/.390, 19 stolen bases, 16 home runs and 66 RBI across 593 plate appearances.

Story is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Rays.

Nick Sogard will start at shortstop and bat sixth in the Red Sox's regular-season finale. Story's 2024 season looked to be over after dislocating his left shoulder in early April, but he was able to return to the big club in September. Since his return, Story has slashed .270/.361/.429 with two home runs and six RBI across 72 plate appearances.

Tovar went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Tovar singled in his first trip to the plate before launching a 429-foot solo homer in the bottom of the third inning. The shortstop went on to reach base three times in the contest, tallying at least three hits for the 16th time this season. Tovar has also posted multiple knocks and at least one RBI in each of his last three games, while the long ball was his 26th on the campaign.

Perdomo went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Padres.

Perdomo stole second base with one out in the third inning but the Diamondbacks were unable to advance him. It was the ninth steal of the season and the first in 17 games for Perdomo. Arizona faces a must-win scenario Sunday to give it a chance at the postseason, so manager Torey Lovullo will want his best, likely including Perdomo, in the lineup.

Neto (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Neto will miss a second consecutive game due to a right shoulder injury he sustained Thursday against the White Sox. It's unclear whether Neto will also be held out of the Angels' regular-season finale Sunday. Jack Lopez will start at shortstop Saturday and bat second.

Kim told reporters Saturday that he will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Kim has been on the 10-day injured list since Aug. 20 due to right shoulder inflammation. His rehab was repeatedly stalled as he continued to feel discomfort in his right shoulder, and it was decided Saturday that he would be pulled from his recovery program, per Cassavell. For now, it's unclear whether Kim's procedure will have a recovery timeline that would allow him to return for the start of spring training or if he might miss the start of the 2025 regular season. The 28-year-old infielder ends the year with a slash line of .233/.330/.370 with 22 stolen bases, 11 home runs and 47 RBI across 470 plate appearances.
