McGonigle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Pirates.

McGonigle finished his stellar rookie campaign with a bang, launching a solo homer in his final at-bat of the year. The 22-year-old concludes the season slashing .278/.376/.430 with 18 home runs, 72 RBI, 97 runs scored and 12 steals across 707 plate appearances and is all but a lock for the American League Rookie of the Year Award.

Griffin went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Tigers.

Griffin opened the scoring with a leadoff blast before adding an RBI single in the fourth inning. The 20-year-old posted middling numbers in September in his return from injury, hitting .264 with eight extra-base hits, eight RBI, eight runs scored and three stolen bases over 21 games. While his first stint in the majors didn't exactly live up to the hype, Griffin slashed a respectable .272/.324/.404 with six homers, 33 RBI, 43 runs scored and 23 steals across 339 plate appearances and still remains one of the game's top dynasty assets.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

Seager went deep in his final at-bat of the year to reach at least 20 home runs for the fifth straight campaign. The shortstop posted an .804 OPS with 10 homers in 51 second-half games after entering the All-Star break with a lowly .666 mark. Overall, he'll wrap up his 12th major-league season slashing a disappointing .227/.312/.424 with 20 long balls, 51 RBI, 57 runs scored and two steals across 436 plate appearances.

Lopez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

The Marlins are resting several everyday players during Sunday's regular-season finale. Assuming he doesn't appear off the bench Sunday, Lopez will finish his excellent 2026 campaign having slashed .305/.349/.437 with 11 home runs and 34 stolen bases. Javier Sanoja is handling shortstop for the Marlins on Sunday.

Ortiz (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Ortiz is banged up, primarily nursing a knee injury in addition to abdominal and groin issues. He'll sit out Sunday's finale in hopes that he'll be as close to 100 percent as possible for the NLDS. David Hamilton will handle third base for the Brewers on Sunday.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Saturday's game that the MRI results on Ortiz's knee were "good" overall, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports. However, Ortiz likely won't play Sunday against the Cardinals.

While Ortiz avoided a major injury to his knee, he's also been dealing with abdominal and groin issues, including abdominal swelling. It sounds like Milwaukee will exercise caution and hold Ortiz out of the regular-season finale to ensure his availability for the start of the playoffs. David Hamilton figures to make another start at the hot corner in Ortiz's absence.

Tovar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the White Sox.

Tovar blasted his 13th home run of the season in the fourth inning of Saturday's win. It has been a disappointing season overall, but he has managed to end the campaign in relatively strong form with a .302 average, three homers and 13 runs scored across 19 games in September.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Angels.

For the season, he has 14 long balls, two more than last year despite being limited to 115 contests. Crawford has batted just .220 with a .687 OPS, 40 RBI, 54 runs scored, 12 doubles and a stolen base this year.

Pena went 4-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored in Saturday's 13-2 win over the Athletics.
