  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Receiving rest Sunday

    Baldwin is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Marlins.

    It's the first day off since June 24 for Baldwin, who will get a bit of extra rest as Atlanta gears up for the playoffs. Sean Murphy will do the catching, and Mike Yastrzemski will slot in at designated hitter.

  • Braves' Michael Harris: Exiting starting lineup

    Harris is not in the lineup for Sunday's tilt in Miami.

    Harris will receive an extra day of rest as Atlanta heads into postseason play. DaShawn Keirsey will net a start in center field during Sunday's regular-season finale.

  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Not starting Sunday

    Diaz is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

    Diaz is the Rays' catalyst atop the order, and the team will rest him for the final game of the regular season ahead of what they hope is a deep playoff run. Liam Hicks will serve as the designated hitter while Nick Fortes catches and Victor Mesa leads off against right-hander Zack Wheeler.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Getting rest Sunday

    Acuna is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Miami.

    Sunday's regular-season finale doesn't mean anything for Atlanta as far as the postseason goes, so Acuna will get a little rest. Brewer Hicklen will patrol right field and will bat eighth.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: On bench Sunday

    Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    With the Guardians' playoff seeding set after the team clinched the AL Central title Saturday, Ramirez will rest for the regular-season finale. Daniel Schneemann will start at third base and bat eighth against lefty Daniel Lynch.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Resting for Sunday's finale

    Smith is absent from the lineup for Sunday's contest in San Francisco.

    Smith will get a little extra rest as the Dodgers head into postseason action. Hunter Feduccia will do the catching in Sunday's regular-season finale.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: In Sunday's lineup at DH

    Moreno (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and will bat third in Sunday's game versus the Padres.

    Moreno is nursing a hamstring injury that first cropped up during Friday's contest, but he'll attempt to play through the injury. The 26-year-old Moreno is also trying to win the National League batting title, as he'll enter play Sunday with a one-point edge over Luis Arraez (ankle).

  • Wyatt Olds RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Wyatt Olds: Summoned to big club

    The Red Sox recalled Olds from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

    Olds will return to bolster the Boston bullpen on the final day of the regular season. The right-hander has made 13 appearances out of the Red Sox's bullpen this year in his first taste of the majors, posting an impressive 1.20 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB in 15 innings.

  • Padres' Jackson Merrill: Exiting starting lineup

    Merrill is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Diamondbacks.

    Merrill will receive a little extra rest as the Padres gear up for postseason play. Jase Bowen will patrol center field and will be situated in the No. 9 spot in the Padres' batting order for Sunday's regular-season finale.

  • Nathan Eaton CF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Back with big club

    The Red Sox recalled Eaton from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

    Eaton will return to provide outfield depth for Game 162 of the regular season, though he seems unlikely to be on Boston's playoff roster. The 29-year-old has slashed just .146/.293/.250 with one home run and two steals in 58 major-league plate appearances this season.
