McNeil went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

McNeil ended a 15-game power drought with his third-inning blast off Peter Lambert. It had been six games without an extra-base hit or a multi-effort for McNeil. He's now batting .267 with a .690 OPS, nine homers, 23 doubles, 59 RBI, 51 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 141 contests.

Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Chisholm has gone 2-for-6 with two walks, a run and a steal across his first two games since returning from the injured list, and the Yankees will now give him a day to rest as they prepare to face left-hander Ian Seymour. Anthony Volpe will get the nod at second base and bat seventh.

Walton went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Walton has gone 11-for-38 (.289) with four homers and 10 RBI over his last 13 games. While he's still not playing on a full-time basis, he's put together a strong finish to the campaign. The utility man is batting .269 with an .834 OPS, nine homers, 32 RBI, 36 runs scored, 14 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases over 255 plate appearances this season.

Clemens is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Francisco.

The lefty-swinging Clemens has been an everyday player for the vast majority of the season for the Twins, but this will be his second straight time out of the lineup versus a lefty. Royce Lewis will handle second base for Minnesota.

Holliday will undergo left wrist surgery next week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Holliday is dealing with a triangular fibrocartilage complex tear in the wrist. The current estimate points to Holliday needing 10 weeks to rehab, which would give him plenty of time to be ready ahead of spring training. Holliday was limited to only 98 games this season due to injury, slashing .229/.300/.340 in those contests.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Activated from the IL between games of the twin bill after recovering from a thumb injury, Chisholm got the start at second base and hit sixth. With the Yankees now locked into a wild-card spot after splitting the doubleheader, Chisholm's focus will be on staying healthy and getting ready for the first round of the playoffs next week, so he may not be an everyday presence in the lineup over the final days of the regular season. He needs one more home run to record his second career 20-40 campaign.

Torres is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Torres' playing time has tapered off a bit this month as the Tigers look ahead to 2027, as this will be his eighth day off. Zach McKinstry will be at second base, and Hao-Yu Lee will fill the designated hitter spot.

Sogard started at first base and went 2-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Sogard filled in at first base for a fourth consecutive game while Willson Contreras tends to a right hand injury. With Boston having clinched a playoff spot, the team does not have to rush Contreras back, although it would like to see him on the field and swing a bat before the postseason begins. Sogard has gone 3-for-18 during his time filling in.

Young went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-0 loss to the Astros.

Young's bat has faded late in the season -- he's just 3-for-22 over his last seven games. The steal was his fourth on nine attempts this campaign as he's struggled to make an impact on the basepaths. The infielder is batting .246 with a .693 OPS, 17 home runs, 65 RBI, 71 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples across 155 contests.

Meidroth went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a two run-single, two runs and a walk during Tuesday's 14-11 win over the Royals.

Meidroth has blasted home runs in consecutive games for the first time this season. The 25-year-old started the scoring with a two-run single in the first off Daniel Lynch and later launched a three-run homer off him in the third. Over 634 plate appearances this season, Meidroth is slashing .271/.347/.409 with 16 homers and 63 RBI.
