The Astros placed Pena (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Pena had sat out the Astros' last six games due to a left oblique strain, and with Houston officially getting eliminated from playoff contention following Saturday's action, he won't be called on to play in Sunday's season finale. The Astros recalled outfielder Jacob Melton from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move, but the team hasn't suggested that Pena's oblique strain will affect his offseason plans. The shortstop put together his best campaign in the majors so far, besting his previous career high in OPS by 125 points.

Walker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

With Houston having been officially eliminated from playoff contention following Saturday's action, Walker and other key regulars will sit for the season finale. Victor Caratini will step in at first base in place of Walker, who has hit .238 with 27 home runs, two stolen bases, 88 RBI and 72 runs over 154 games during his first campaign in Houston.

The Astros recalled Melton from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday. He'll start in center field and bat ninth in the season finale versus the Angels.

With one game remaining in the season and the Astros having been officially eliminated from playoff contention, Melton will join Houston after shortstop Jeremy Pena (oblique) was placed on the injured list. Over 73 plate appearances with the big club this season, Melton has slashed .149/.219/.179 with a 38.4 percent strikeout rate.

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.

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

He'll remain on the bench for the second day in a row while the Phillies send another lefty (Cristopher Sanchez) to the hill. If he's not needed off the bench Sunday, Julien will wrap up the season with a .220/.309/.324 slash line, three home runs, 13 runs and 12 RBI over 208 plate appearances.

Gonzalez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Gonzalez was seeing consistent run at second base, though this is now his second consecutive absence to close out the regular season. The 29-year-old has proven to be an excellent fit with the Red Sox, as he's slashed .290/.329/.457 over the past two regular seasons, and if he's healthy he figures to serve as a starter in the playoffs.

Basallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Basallo will be rested for the season finale after he made starts at catcher and designated hitter in the first two contests of the series, going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts. Unless he's called upon off the bench Sunday, Basallo will finish out the 2025 campaign with a .165/.229/.330 slash line to go with four home runs, 15 RBI and 10 runs across 31 games with the Orioles. Despite a rough showing in his first big-league stint, Basallo is locked in as a cornerstone piece for Baltimore after inking an eight-year, $67 million contract with the club in August.

Jackson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

With Tyler O'Neill picking up his second start in right field in three days, Jackson will hit the bench for the second time this weekend. Unless he's called upon as a reserve, Jackson will wrap up the campaign with a .276/.328/.447 slash line, five home runs, 21 RBI and 20 runs across 183 plate appearances with Baltimore.

Taylor announced prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals that he will retire from professional baseball following the contest, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The 34-year-old said that he decided a few months ago that 2025 would be his last season, but he waited until the final game to confirm his plans. The White Sox will include Taylor in the lineup for Sunday's contest, as he'll occupy center field and bat ninth. The veteran has played 12 years in the big leagues and enters the finale with a .199/.256/.366 slash line, nine home runs and eight stolen bases over 321 plate appearances this season.

Robertson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

After making five straight starts, Robertson will close out the season on the bench for four of the final five contests. Since being summoned from Triple-A Charlotte on Aug. 27, Robertson has put together a weak .148/.175/.167 batting line.
