Lee is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Lee has started 10 of 12 games this month but will take a seat for Monday's series opener. The rookie infielder has hit a rough patch at the plate in September, slashing .176/.341/.324 with three doubles, one triple, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a 9:15 BB:K across 44 plate appearances. Gleyber Torres is starting at second base, while Colt Keith mans the hot corner Monday.

Bazzana went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over Minnesota.

Bazzana helped increase the Guardians' lead with a run-scoring single in the fourth inning followed by a two-run homer in the sixth. He's up to 12 homers with 19 steals in 112 games. Just as it looked like the rookie was starting to fade, Bazzana's bat has awoken in September. Over the last eight games, Bazzana has gone 12-for-26 (.462) with five walks, two doubles, three home runs, 12 RBI and eight runs scored.

Palacios went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-4 win over the Astros.

Palacios gave the Rays a 7-0 lead with a three-run homer in the third inning before scoring another run in the seventh. The 29-year-old has been red hot in September, hitting .333 with five home runs, 11 RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases through 10 games this month. On the year, he's slashing .235/.330/.379 with 10 long balls, 50 RBI, 50 runs scored and 14 steals across 369 plate appearances.

The Rangers optioned Cauley to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Cauley was called up by the Rangers when MLB rosters expanded Sept. 1, and he served exclusively as a defensive replacement and pinch runner during this stint in the majors. The 23-year-old has a .207/.281/.345 slash line with one homer, one steal and 10 runs in 65 big-league plate appearances this year.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Young started the past five games -- including three against left-handed pitching -- but he'll take a seat Sunday while southpaw Jacob Lopez pitches for the A's. Michael Arroyo will take over at the keystone in the series finale at Sacramento.

The Red Sox placed Seigler on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right wrist inflammation.

Seigler's wrist issue flared up during Saturday's game against the Royals, and further testing led to an IL stint. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Nick Sogard will be the main depth infield options for Boston while Seigler is on the shelf. In a corresponding move, Willson Contreras (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

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

It's the second straight game on the bench for Torres, who is batting .333 (9-for-27) with three walks, a double, one RBI and nine runs in his past seven contests. Hao-Yu Lee will man the keystone while Colt Keith handles third base, freeing up first base for Spencer Torkelson.

Sogard started at first base and went 2-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over Kansas City. He was also hit by a pitch and caught stealing.

Sogard, who made a fourth consecutive start at first base, got involved offensively late in the game. He doubled and scored in the seventh inning and then knocked in Boston's final run with an eighth-inning double. Sogard and Mickey Gasper have been filling in for the injured Willson Contreras (hamstring) at first base.

Seigler was removed from Saturday's game after experiencing pain in his right wrist following a swing, MLB.com reports. He hurt the wrist in the fourth inning and was eventually removed in the seventh.

Seigler, who was called up to Boston on Friday as a replacement for Eli White (foot), started at second base before departing. He was replaced by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Seigler underwent further testing and evaluation following the game.

Arroyo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Arroyo was in the lineup for just the second time since his Sept. 6 call-up. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts prior to his big game Saturday, which checked off a lot of firsts in his young career. He has yet to carve out a steady spot in the lineup, but that could change once the Mariners are officially eliminated from playoff contention.
