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.

Manager Tony Vitello said that Basabe was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins due to hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Basabe's hamstring has reportedly been bothering him for a few days now, and the Giants decided to err on the side of caution and pull him out of Tuesday's contest early. He doesn't seem to be bound for the injured list, though the Giants may give him a day or two off to ensure his hamstring doesn't become a larger issue.

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.

McNeil is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

The left-handed bat of McNail is on the bench as the Angels send southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to begin the game on the mound Tuesday. Tommy White is in the lineup at first base and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer is at second base.

Williamson (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Williamson was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 due to hamstring soreness but seems to be feeling well enough to play in the nightcap after a few extra hours of rest. The 25-year-old spent about six weeks on the injured list due to hamstring problems before returning Sunday. He went 0-for-3 in his first game back.

Edwards (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Edwards will miss a second straight start due to a thumb injury that he picked up during Saturday's game against the Padres. While he recovers, Jared Serna will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

The Yankees activated Chisholm (intercostal) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday in between the first and second games of a doubleheader against the Rays.

Chisholm made a swift recovery from a right thumb sprain, an injury he suffered just two weeks ago. He did not play any rehab games, as the Yankees were satisfied with how Chisholm looked in workouts enough to reinstate him to the active roster. Max Schuemann was optioned in a corresponding roster move.

Amador is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Amador has an .823 OPS with two doubles, three homers, seven RBI and 11 runs through 17 games in September but will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Mickey Moniak will serve as the designated hitter while Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Troy Johnston start across the outfield.
