Canzone will start at designated hitter and will bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Though the left-handed-hitting Canzone will likely continue to sit against left-handed pitchers heading into the final week of the season, he appears to have recaptured a regular spot in the lineup versus righties after going 10-for-19 with three home runs, one double, eight RBI and five runs over his past six contests. Seattle has cleared room in the lineup for Canzone by shifting Jorge Polanco -- who had been serving as the team's primary designated hitter -- to second base.

Rivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Rivas will be left out of the lineup for the third game in a row while the Mariners make an effort to get their best bats in the lineup. To that end, Jorge Polanco will once again cover second base, allowing Dominic Canzone to serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Victor Robles occupies right field.

The Red Sox activated Abreu (calf) from the 10-day injured list prior to Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

He'll end up missing a little over a month with the calf strain and will start designated hitter and bat eighth Sunday against righty Joe Boyle. The Red Sox are tentatively scheduled to face five right-handed pitchers to start the upcoming week before potentially facing a lefty in the regular-season finale Sept. 28 versus the Tigers, so the left-handed-hitting Abreu should get plenty of opportunities to contribute in the final week.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy acknowledged prior to Sunday's game against the Marlins that Garcia is still not 100 percent recovered from the Grade 2 right quadriceps strain he sustained Sept. 1, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The quad issue forced Garcia to the injured list Sept. 5, though he was activated this past Sunday. Since returning to action, Garcia had gone just 1-for-18 with four strikeouts, and the lingering effects of the injury could help explain his struggles at the plate. Garcia was held out of the lineup Sunday for the second day in a row, and with the 79-76 Rangers on the cusp of being eliminated from wild-card contention, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed more time during the final week of the regular season.

Rivero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

After starting five times in six games from last Friday through Thursday, Rivero has moved into the backup role at catcher with Logan O'Hoppe recently making his return from the 7-day injured list. Expect Rivero to see light playing time over the final week of the season.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Moncada will rest for the day game after he went 0-for-6 with an RBI in the first two games of the series at Coors Field. Oswald Peraza will replace Moncada at third base and will bat seventh.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

The left-handed-hitting Smith has been a mainstay in the lineup versus right-handed pitching all season, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while the Marlins send righty Eury Perez to the hill. Smith's exit from the lineup comes after he went just 2-for-21 with one walk against six strikeouts over the past six games.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

The Rangers have now left Garcia out of the lineup for two straight games while he's gone just 1-for-18 in five contests since returning from the injured list a week ago. He'll cede his spot in the Texas outfield to Michael Helman in the series finale.

Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Burger and Rowdy Tellez have now split playing time at first base against right-handed pitching over the past four games, with both players garnering two starts apiece. Though Burger appeared to have settled in as the primary first baseman upon his return from the injured list Sept. 1, he's gone 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts over his last four contests and seems to have lost some job security in the process.

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

Outman had started the previous three games, going 0-for-8 with six strikeouts and one walk during that stretch. Though two of those starts came against left-handed pitching, Outman will take a seat Sunday while the Guardians send southpaw Joey Cantillo to the bump.
