Crawford is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford will take a seat for Tuesday's contest with lefty Sean Manaea pitching for San Diego. Thairo Estrada will move to shortstop while Wilmer Flores mans the keystone.

Marcano was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

After being sent down in mid-September, Marcano closed the Triple-A season with a .596 OPS over 48 plate appearances. Now, with two games left in the season, the Pirates will bring on the 23-year-old infielder to close their season as well. Jose Godoy was optioned to Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Seager is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a double and a run during the Rangers' loss in the matinee, and he'll head to the bench for Game 2 of the twin bill. Josh Smith will move to shortstop while Kole Calhoun enters the lineup in the outfield.

Bichette is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Orioles.

Bichette, who is hitting .405 with seven home runs and four steals since the start of September, will get a much-deserved rest day. Otto Lopez is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth.

Adames is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates.

It's fitting that Adames, who leads Milwaukee's position players in fWAR (4.6) by a wide margin, will get the day off after they were eliminated from the postseason mix Monday. Luis Urias is starting at shortstop and batting cleanup.

Tovar isn't starting Tuesday against the Dodgers.

The young shortstop's major-league career has gotten off to a slow start, as he has just a .483 OPS through his first eight games. Tovar will take a seat Tuesday, which moves Jose Iglesias to start at shortstop, C.J. Cron over to designated hitter, Michael Toglia to first base, Randal Grichuk to right field and Garrett Hampson into the lineup to start in center field.

Rojas will sit Tuesday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas has been playing through a wrist injury since late July and will undergo surgery Wednesday morning. He was in the lineup Monday and went 0-for-2 with a walk in what may end up being his final appearance of the year. Joey Wendle will start at shortstop Tuesday.

Bogaerts (back) is starting at shortstop and hitting third Tuesday against the Rays.

As expected, Bogaerts returns for the penultimate game of the regular season. He is hitting .289 with two home runs, 13 runs and nine RBI in 24 games since the start of September.

Allen went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a win over the Angels on Monday.

Allen led off for the second straight game and made good use of the opportunity, generating his second multi-hit effort over the last seven contests in the process. The rookie has picked up the pace at the plate in that span, generating three extra-base hits (two doubles, one home run), four RBI, two walks and three runs while striking out at a minuscule 3.8 percent clip.

Mateo went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

With his third-inning pilfer, Mateo moved one ahead of teammate Cedric Mullins for the American League league in stolen bases with 35. Mateo's first full season in the majors has been a mixed bag -- he's flashed some power in addition to his speed but also been extremely streaky, leaving him with a .221/.267/.379 slash line through 524 plate appearances. The 27-year-old should get a chance to develop some consistency to go along with his tools in 2023, but it's not clear whether that chance will come at shortstop or another position as the O's try to find a defensive home for top prospect Gunnar Henderson.
