Teel is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

With southpaw Parker Messick on the mound for the Guardians, the lefty-hitting Teel will be on the bench while Drew Romo starts behind home plate and bats ninth. Since being activated off the 60-day injured list June 22, Teel has gone 7-for-34 (.206) with one home run, eight RBI and a 38.5 percent strikeout rate.

Perez (elbow) is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Phillies on Saturday.

Perez is out of Kansas City's lineup for a second consecutive game while tending to a sore left elbow, though he could be available off the bench for Saturday's contest. Carter Jensen will start behind home plate while Starling Marte serves as the Royals' designated hitter.

Bailey is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the White Sox on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Bailey will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game, with Austin Hedges starting behind home plate and batting eighth while forming a battery with Parker Messick on Saturday. Bailey has gone 3-for-19 (.158) with two RBI and five strikeouts over his last eight outings.

Stephenson is not in Cincinnati's starting lineup against Baltimore on Saturday.

Stephenson will get a rest day for the second time in three days while Jose Trevino starts behind home plate and bats seventh. Stephenson has gone 7-for-18 (.389) with two RBI and three doubles over his last five games.

Kirk is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Mariners on Saturday.

Kirk will get a breather while Brandon Valenzuela starts behind home plate and bats eighth while catching pitches from Shane Bieber. Since returning from the injured list June 12, Kirk has gone 11-for-50 (.220) with one home run and five RBI.

The Dodgers are expected to promote Alfonzo from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The move has not been officially made, but the expectation is that Alfonzo will take Chuckie Robinson's spot on the Dodgers' 26 man roster prior to Saturday's game against the Padres, with the former serving as the team's backup catcher behind Dalton Rushing. Alfonzo has played well in Triple-A this season, slashing .313/.392/.422 with one home run and 16 RBI over 190 plate appearances. His first appearance for the Dodgers will officially mark his major-league debut.

Burger is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday.

Burger has struggled at the plate recently, having gone 1-for-20 with six strikeouts and two RBI over his last five games. He'll get a breather Saturday while Josh Smith starts at first base and bats second.

Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

Kurtz launched his 20th homer of the season with a two-run shot to center in the bottom of the third inning. The star first baseman snapped a nine-game homer drought with this long ball, but he still sits tied for sixth in the AL home run leaderboard while tying Shea Langeliers (thumb) for the team's lead. Kurtz is hitting .269 with an excellent .966 OPS across 29 games since the beginning of June.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 9-5 win over the Pirates.

The Nationals launched five homers in total on the night, with Garcia and Daylen Lile each going yard twice. Garcia's pair of blasts came in the first inning off Mitch Keller and the seventh off Isaac Mattson, and the 26-year-old infielder has slugged a stunning nine home runs in last last 13 games, a surge that has seen him produce a .415/.478/1.148 slash line with 12 runs and 17 RBI. Garcia's 18 homers on the season in just 82 games have already tied his career high, and his 62 RBI ties him for third in the majors, behind only the Athletics' Nick Kurtz (66) and the Cardinals' Jordan Walker (63).

Vargas went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Friday's 7-4 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.

Vargas started at first base against left-handed Kyle Harrison and delivered a good game. While Vargas remains a regular in the lineup versus southpaws, his playing time versus right-handers has been limited lately. He hit just .100 over 23 games in June to lose out on a starting role and will likely be limited to utility duties as long as Arizona's infield is mostly healthy. Vargas is hitting .263 with a .709 OPS, seven home runs, 45 RBI, 38 runs scored and a stolen base over 273 plate appearances this season, so he could reclaim a job if his bat gets hot.

Bauers went 3-for-6 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 7-4 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

Bauers has a pair of three-hit efforts over his last four games. The first baseman is hitting .265 (13-for-49) over his last 15 contests, but he's also struck out 21 times in that span, as he's started to swing and miss more frequently. Overall, he's hitting .269 with an .864 OPS, 15 home runs, 52 RBI, 50 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and five stolen bases across 77 contests as a regular in the lineup for much of the campaign.

Olson went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Olson snapped a 16-game power drought with solo shots in the fifth and eighth innings. It marked the second multi-homer game of the campaign for the veteran slugger, who had doubled in three of his past six games entering Friday. For the year, he's slashing .273/.345/.538 with 22 home runs, 54 RBI, 57 runs scored and two steals across 374 plate appearances.

Arroyo is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday.

Arroyo will be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's game while Matt McLain starts at second base and bats ninth. Arroyo has gone 1-for-13 with four strikeouts over his last four games and is slashing .244/.294/.282 with four RBI and three doubles over 86 plate appearances this season.

Donovan (groin) will embark on a rehab assignment Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Donovan is ready to take the next step in his recovery from a left groin strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list in mid-May. Given the timeline, the veteran infielder is unlikely to return to the majors until after the All-Star break.

Lee is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Rangers on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Lee will be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's game while Zach McKinstry and Kevin McGonigle start at second base and shortstop, respectively. Since June 1, Lee has gone 20-for-59 (.339) with one steal, three home runs and seven RBI.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Mets.

The second baseman took Christian Scott deep in the third inning, one of four Atlanta homers on the night. Albies is up to 14 homers on the season in just 86 games, two shy of what he produced over 157 contests in 2025, and his .767 OPS would be his best mark since 2023.

Bazzana went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Bazzana, who was given a day off Wednesday amid a 2-for-29 stretch, logged a second consecutive multi-hit game Friday. He's 4-for-8 with two walks, two RBI and two runs scored since getting a breather. While this two-game response his hopeful, the rookie has more to do to prove that he's adjusted to MLB pitching. Bazzana's .643 OPS for the month of June was 231 points lower than it was in May.

Turang went 3-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-4 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

Turang provided the Brewers' last runs in the game. He's on a six-game hitting streak, going 10-for-28 (.357) in that span. The second baseman is up to a .263 average and .812 OPS on the year while adding 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 13 stolen bases, 61 runs scored, 18 doubles and three triples through 82 contests. He's tracking toward career-best numbers in most power stats, though that's also come with a career-high 25.9 percent strikeout rate.

Arias is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the White Sox on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Arias will be on the bench for the opening of Saturday's contest while Daniel Schneemann starts at third base and bats seventh. Arias has gone 9-for-42 (.214) with one steal, one home run, two RBI and 18 strikeouts since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list June 14.

Atlanta reinstated Farmer (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Farmer has been on the 10-day IL since mid May due to a strained right forearm. He was cleared for a rehab assignment in late June and went 2-for-20 with one home run, three RBI and five runs scored. While he didn't look great at the plate during his rehab assignment, Farmer has progressed enough in his recovery to return to the majors, with his reinstatement from the IL corresponding with Atlanta placing Ha-Seong Kim (finger) on the 10-day IL.

Hayes (back) will stick with High-A Dayton this weekend and then have his rehab moved to Triple-A Louisville next week, MLB.com reports.

Hayes opened a rehab assignment with the Dragons on Friday, going 1-for-3 with a run scored while playing five innings at third base. He'll play an unspecified number of games for Louisville before rejoining the Reds. Given how close it is to the All-Star break, the organization may wait until after the Midsummer Classic to activate Hayes.

Karros went 3-for-4 with a triple, a walk, three runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 15-3 win over the Giants.

Karros was a thorn in the Giants' side all game, scoring a game-high three runs from the eighth spot in the order. It continued a hot streak for the 23-year-old, who's hit safely in nine of his past 11 games with seven extra-base hits, six RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base during that span. On the season, he's slashing .263/.363/.420 with six homers, 26 RBI, 43 runs scored and three steals across 284 plate appearances.

Vargas went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

Vargas supplied all of the White Sox's runs with a three-run homer in the fifth inning, which came before the nearly two-hour rain delay. The 26-year-old third baseman is now up to 20 home runs on the year, which is the first time he's reached that mark in a season since making his major-league debut with the Dodgers in 2022. Vargas is slashing .248/.359/.495 with 11 steals (in 13 attempts), 55 RBI and 58 runs scored across 374 plate appearances this season.

The Mariners selected Mastrobuoni's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Mastrobuoni was DFA'd by the Mariners in mid-June but is back with the big club to provide depth in the outfield after Julio Rodriguez (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list. Mastrobuoni has spent most of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a .603 OPS with five steals, one home run and three RBI over 71 plate appearances.

Atlanta placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Wednesday, due to right middle finger inflammation.

Kim has gone 0-for-24 with four walks and eight strikeouts over his last 13 games and has not recorded a hit since June 3 against the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old infielder is eligible to return from the IL prior to the All-Star break, though it's unclear whether he'll need a longer stint on the shelf. Kyle Farmer (forearm) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Caballero is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Twins on Saturday.

Caballero will get a breather after going 1-for-3 with a steal, an RBI single and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over Minnesota. Anthony Volpe will draw the start at shortstop and bat fifth in Saturday's contest.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

The performance snapped a brief seven-game skid in which he'd gone 5-for-25 without a multi-hit effort. Despite that small swoon, Bichette's mostly been on fire over the last month, and in 27 contests since June 3 he's delivered a .343/.368/.565 slash line with 13 extra-base hits (seven doubles, a triple and five homers), 16 runs and 19 RBI.

De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Friday's 3-0 loss to Baltimore.

De La Cruz continued to put a three-week absence due to a hamstring injury behind him, hitting safely in a sixth consecutive game (8-for-25). More promising, however, are the two steals, his first since being activated off the injured list June 23. He's up to 12 stolen bases through 68 games.

Pratt went 1-for-3 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-4 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

Pratt had gone hitless over his previous five games. The shortstop is batting just .191 with a .517 OPS, six steals, two RBI, five runs scored, one double and no home runs over his first 16 big-league contests. Pratt will need to be steadier with the bat if he's going to maintain a decent amount of playing time, though he does offer quality defense at a tough position.

Tovar went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 15-3 win over the Giants.

Tovar launched a two-run shot in the second inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the eighth. It marked the third time this season the 24-year-old has tallied three hits in a game, and he's now recorded four extra-base hits and six RBI over his past 10 contests. For the year, he's slashing .212/.254/.340 with seven homers, 30 RBI, 29 runs scored and five steals across 311 plate appearances.

Antonacci is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

Antonacci has faced southpaws this season, but he will on the bench to open Saturday's contest while Junior Perez starts in left field and bats fifth against Guardians left-hander Parker Messick. Since June 1, Antonacci has a .316 batting average with three steals, four home runs, 11 RBI and a 10:16 BB:K across 114 plate appearances.

Beavers is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Reds on Saturday.

Beavers will be on the bench while Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser and Leody Taveras start in the outfield for the Orioles on Saturday from left to right. Since returning from the 10-day injured list this past Sunday, Beavers has gone 1-for-14 with one RBI and five strikeouts.

Simpson (finger) is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.

Simpson was a late scratch Friday due to sore right index and middle fingers, and those injuries which will keep him out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Victor Mesa, Cedric Mullins and Jonny DeLuca will start in the outfield Saturday from left to right.

Houston optioned Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.

Both Loperfido and Jake Meyers have been sent down to Triple-A, moves that correspond with the Astros recalling Zach Dezenzo from Sugar Land and reinstating LaMonte Wade (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. With Loperfido no longer on the 26-man roster, that opens up more reps in the outfield for Wade, Dezenzo and Brice Matthews. Loperfido has a .647 OPS with one steal, 12 RBI and nine extra-base hits across 119 plate appearances in the majors this season.

The Astros optioned Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.

Meyers was losing out on playing time to both Taylor Trammell and Brice Matthews, so Matthews will head to Triple-A, where he will serve in an everyday role in the outfield. He has a .580 OPS with one steal, three home runs and 11 RBI across 148 major-league plate appearances this season.

The Astros recalled Dezenzo from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.

The move corresponds with LaMonte Wade (hamstring) being reinstated from the 10-day injured list and both Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido being optioned to Sugar Land. Dezenzo has spent time both with the Astros and in the minors this season but has seen more runway in Triple-A, where he is slashing .264/.417/.363 with nine steals, two home runs and seven RBI over 115 plate appearances. Dezenzo could see a fair amount of reps in the outfield now that both Loperfido and Meyers are in the minors.

The Royals placed Kolek (personal) on the Family Medical Emergency List on Saturday.

Kolek's next start is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Mets, though it's unclear whether he'll be with the team at that time. He took the loss in his last start Thursday against the Rays, when he allowed three runs on four hits and one walk across two innings without recording a strikeout. The Royals recalled right-hander Jose Cuas from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Matthews was removed during the fifth inning of Saturday's start against the Yankees due to a right foot laceration, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Matthews kept the Yankees off the board until the fourth inning before giving up another three runs in the fifth. Those struggles may have been due to his foot injury, and he'll end his day having allowed four runs on three hits (two homers) and four walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings. It's unclear whether the injury will prevent Matthews from making another turn in the rotation, with his next start slated for next weekend at home against the Angels.

Miller (hips) was reinstated from Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list Saturday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

Miller landed on the 7-day IL in late March due to injuries to both sides of his hips. He has been cleared to return to Triple-A after posting a 0.89 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 20.1 innings in six minor-league rehab outings.

Hancock will no longer piggyback Logan Gilbert against the Blue Jays on Saturday, with the former drawing the start for Sunday's series finale, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

For a second-straight week, the duo of Hancock and Gilbert will get their own traditional starts. Hancock looked good in his last outing this past Sunday against the Guardians, when he allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out six across 5.2 innings in a no-decision. The 27-year-old right-hander sports a 3.47 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 87:22 K:BB across 90.2 innings this season.

Emerson Hancock will no longer piggyback Gilbert for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gilbert and Hancock will make their own traditional starts this weekend, with the latter taking the mound for Sunday's series finale. Gilbert took the loss in his last outing against the Guardians on June 27, when he allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out seven across seven frames. He has a 3.42 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 107:22 K:BB across 100 innings this season.

Atlanta recalled Ritchie from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Ritchie was scratched from his scheduled start with Gwinnett on Saturday and will join the big club in Atlanta. His last major-league start was June 23 against the Padres, when he allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out seven across five innings in a no-decision.

San Francisco recalled Bivens from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Bivens is taking the bullpen spot of Matt Gage, who landed on the 15-day injured list due to a left elbow strain Saturday. It will be the first stint with the big-league club this season for Bivens. The righty reliever appeared in 54 regular-season games for the Giants in 2025, posting a 4.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 61:25 over 81 innings while logging four wins, three saves and four holds. He'll likely fill a low-leverage spot while up with San Francisco.

The Giants placed Gage on the 15-day IL on Saturday due to a left elbow strain, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Gage previously spent time on the IL in early June due to a knee issue, and he's now set to be sidelined with an elbow injury. The lefty reliever threw a season-high 51 pitches over 1.1 innings against Colorado on Friday, so that's presumably when the injury occurred. Spencer Bivens has been called up from Triple-A Sacramento to take Gage's spot in San Francisco's bullpen.

The Royals recalled Cuas from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

The move comes after Stephen Kolek (personal) was placed on the Family Medical Emergency List. Cuas' lone appearance with the Royals was Wednesday against the Rays, when he allowed one run on two hits while striking out three across two innings without issuing a walk. He's spent the majority of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 3.31 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB across 32.2 innings.

The Nationals optioned Kent to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

It's the second time Kent has been called up and subsequently sent down after the Nationals claimed him off waivers from Minnesota in early May. The righty reliever has been mediocre during his time with Washington, posting a 6.75 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB across 10.2 innings over eight appearances. The Nationals claimed lefty reliever Matt Krook off waivers from the Athletics on Saturday and will have him fill Kent's bullpen slot.

The Nationals designated Granillo for assignment Saturday.

Granillo has failed to impress over eight appearances with Washington this season, posting a 9.64 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and 3:8 K:BB over 9.1 innings. He hasn't fared much better with Triple-A Rochester, registering an 8.02 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 32:16 K:BB across 33.2 frames spanning 26 appearances. Granillo will consequently yield his 40-man roster spot to Matt Krook, whom the Nationals claimed off waivers on Saturday.

Washington claimed Krook off outright waivers from the Athletics on Saturday.

Krook struggled during his time with the A's before being DFA'd on Friday, allowing seven earned runs with a 5:4 K:BB over 3.2 innings spanning five appearances. However, the Nationals will look to help him get back on track and in order to utilize him as a lefty option out of the bullpen. To clear room for Krook, Washington designated righty hurler Andre Granillo for assignment and optioned right-hander Zak Kent to Triple-A Rochester.

Diaz is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.

Diaz will get a breather after going 1-fro-12 with two walks over his last three games. Jonathan Aranda will serve as the Rays' designated hitter Saturday while Ryan Vilade draws the start at first base.

The Blue Jays are placing Springer on the Family Medical Emergency List on Saturday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Springer's time on the paternity list was set to expire Saturday, but the move ensures that he can still be away from the team, and he is expected to rejoin the Blue Jays in San Francisco next week. Vladimir Guerrero and Sean Keys will both continue to handle DH duties for as long as Springer is sidelined.

Tena went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Pirates.

Getting the start at DH and batting third, Tena took Mitch Keller deep in the third inning for his fourth homer of the year. Tena has mainly been an option off the bench against right-handed pitching of late, amassing just 49 plate appearances since the beginning of June with a .222/.286/.378 slash line one homer, two steals, five runs and five RBI.

Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over the Angels.

Gonzalez smacked his first triple of the season in the second inning, and he later delivered a bases-loaded, two-run single in the top of the third, scoring Wilyer Abreu and Willson Contreras. Gonzalez underwent shoulder surgery in March and didn't make his season debut until June 28. He's gone 5-for-15 at the plate since then.

Ohtani was removed from Friday's game against the Padres due to a bicep injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Ohtani said after the game that he became concerned about his bicep after his final at-bat in the sixth inning, but he noted that what he felt was similar to an injury he dealt with a couple of months ago that subsided relatively quickly. Although his injury is believed to be minor, manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani will not play Saturday as a precaution, per Harris. The two-way star gave up three earned runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings on the mound Friday and went 0-for-3 as a hitter.

Herrera went 3-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 17-1 win over the Cubs.

All three hits were singles, but Herrera was still in the thick of the offensive eruption by the Cardinals. It was the first multi-hit effort for the 26-year-old catcher/designated hitter since June 21, snapping a nine-game skid that had seen him bat just .129 (4-for-31) with one double and one RBI. Despite the brief swoon, Herrera sports a respectable .258/.396/.406 slash line on the season with 10 homers, five steals, 38 RBI and 58 runs in 85 contests.
