The Giants released Bour from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Bour hit .213 with six home runs and 17 RBI in 108 at-bats with the Triple-A squad this season. The 33-year-old last appeared in the big leagues in 2019, when he hit .172 and slugged eight homers with the Angels. Bour is now four years removed from his best season, when as a Marlin in 2017 he posted career highs in both batting average (.289) and home runs (25).

White (hip) is still looking to determine his plan of action and the next steps in his recovery, the team's official site reports.

The young infielder has been on the shelf since May 14, and he recently left the team altogether to seek a second opinion on his ailing left hip. Whenever White is cleared to resume game action, it's presumed he'll return to Triple-A Tacoma, where he'd been assigned on a rehab assignment when he suffered a recent setback.

Bell (side) is starting Saturday's game against the Marlins, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Bell had missed the last two games due to right side soreness, but he took swings Friday and was available off the bench if needed. He'll start at first base and bat fourth during Saturday's matchup in Miami.

Bohm isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Mets.

Bohm started both games of Friday's doubleheader and went 0-for-6 with a pair of strikeouts. Luke Williams will take his place at third base and bat sixth.

Diaz isn't starting Saturday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz had started each of the last two games and went 1-for-7 with two runs, two walks and two strikeouts. Ji-Man Choi will start at first base while Austin Meadows serves as the designated hitter.

Vaughn isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Vaughn has gone 1-for-14 with a double and two strikeouts across his last four appearances, and he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Jake Lamb will start in left field and bat sixth.

Kirilloff isn't starting Saturday against Cleveland.

Kirilloff blasted his sixth home run of the season during Friday's win over Cleveland, but he'll get a day off Saturday. Miguel Sano will start at first base, while Trevor Larnach will take over in right field.

Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Cronenworth walked and later scored his first time up to bat and would end up hitting back-to-back jacks with Fernando Tatis in the second inning. It's Cronenworth's fifth homer in six games and his 12th on the year, raising his slash line to .287/.355/.479 with 31 RBI, 53 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 27:44 BB:K. He has registered a hit in each of his last 10 games and is currently swinging one of the hottest bats in the majors.

Abreu went 0-for-3 and was hit by a pitch in Friday's 9-3 loss to Seattle.

Abreu, one of the game's most consistent offensive forces, has struggled during the month of June, hitting just .173 with seven RBI over 20 games. That has led manager Tony La Russa to wonder if the slugger is healthy, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. "There's 'hurt' and 'sore,' you know? It sure seems to me he's dealing with some pain issues that he wants to play through," La Russa said of Abreu. "We're going to talk to him about it. There's still three-plus months to go." The manager made clear he was using "observational analytics" when talking about Abreu, so nothing has been decided as of yet.

Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Orioles.

He ripped a line drive to center field off Matt Harvey in the third inning for his 25th homer of the year -- a ball hit so hard, it beat Cedric Mullins to the wall even though the Baltimore center fielder raced back thinking he had a chance to make a play on it. Guerrero reclaimed the major-league home run lead with the blast, and he continues to torment opposition pitchers with a .340 batting average and 1.116 OPS through 74 games.
