Canha went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Canha has been mostly limited to a short-side platoon role since he was traded from the Tigers to the Giants, but he got a rare start versus a right-hander amid LaMonte Wade's slump. Since the trade, Canha has gone 13-for-47 (.277) with no home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and two doubles. He's at a .237/.340/.346 slash line with seven homers, five steals, 41 RBI, 45 runs scored and 19 doubles over 432 plate appearances this season, which has him on pace for one of the worst years of his career.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Since coming off the injured list Aug. 20, the lefty-hitting Gallo has started in each of the Nationals' six games against right-handed pitching, but he's found himself on the bench for every matchup with lefties. Gallo has produced a .613 OPS since his return from the IL and is slashing just .170/.292/.315 for the season, so despite his regular usage against right-handers of late, he could wind up losing out on some of those starts down the stretch if the Nationals choose to open up more at-bats for Juan Yepez or Andres Chaparro at first base and designated hitter.

Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Busch doesn't always head to the bench against left-handed pitchers, but he'll sit Sunday against Washington southpaw Mitchell Parker. Patrick Wisdom is starting at first base and batting sixth in the series finale.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

After signing with the Reds on Aug. 22, Smith had started in each of the Reds' ensuing eight matchups against right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Sunday against Brewers righty Tobias Myers. Ty France will step in at first base in place of Smith, who has slashed .208/.296/.292 with a 37 percent strikeout rate thus far during his time in Cincinnati.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

As usual, the lefty-hitting Bauers will take a seat while the Reds send a southpaw (Brandon Williamson) to the bump for the series finale. Bauers' grasp on a regular spot in the lineup against righties also appears to be loosening, as he was on the bench for two of the Brewers' previous four matchups with opposite-handed pitchers.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored Saturday in a 5-3 victory versus the White Sox.

Alonso gave New York an early lead with his first-inning, two-run shot to left-center field. It was his 30th homer of the campaign, marking the fifth time in six career seasons he's reached that total (the only exception was the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). In August, Alonso posted a .250 batting average with eight homers, 19 RBI and 16 runs over 104 at-bats.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

The Dodgers opened the game with three straight homers, with Freeman's giving them a 3-0 lead early against Merrill Kelly. Freeman also had an RBI single in the second inning. He's homered in both of the last two games after taking a three-game break to rest and manage a hairline fracture in his right middle finger that he appears prepared to play through heading into September. The first baseman is up to a .286/.382/.486 slash line, 19 homers, 78 RBI, 72 runs scored and six stolen bases through 124 contests this season.

Cronenworth went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Rays.

Cronenworth opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning and fell a triple shy of the cycle in an otherwise forgettable game for the Padres. He has hit safely in six straight contests and eight of his past 10 overall, driving in five and scoring six runs in that span. On the season, the 30-year-old is hitting .250 with 16 home runs, 78 RBI, 67 runs scored and four stolen bases across 564 plate appearances.

Wade is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade broke out of his four-game hitless slump Friday, when he went 1-for-3 with a double. Mark Canha will start at first base and bat second.

Bell is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Bell opened up the series going 3-for-5 with two runs scored and one RBI in Friday's 10-9 loss. Pavin Smith starts at first base Saturday, batting fifth.
