Guerrero is "a little dizzy" Saturday and is being held out of the starting lineup as a result, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

A pitch grazed Guerrero's helmet and face Friday, and manager Charlie Montoyo said that he's being held out because he's experiencing dizziness. Montoyo didn't sound too concerned about the issue, but Travis Shaw could continue to serve at first base with Joe Panik playing at third if Guerrero is forced to miss any additional time.

Bohm is not in the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Bohm will sit for the first time this month. He's hitting .326/.382/.496 in his first 36 big-league games and an even better .395/.458/.651 over his last 12, but he still needs the occasional day off given how many doubleheaders the Phillies have played recently. Jean Segura (triceps) will start at third base in this one, with Phil Gosselin starting at first.

Guerrero isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Guerrero has made 13 consecutive starts for the Blue Jays, but he'll take a seat after going 1-for-10 with one run, one RBI and one strikeout over the past three games. Travis Shaw will shift to first base with Joe Panik starting at third Saturday.

Gurriel isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks due to a hand issue, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dusty Baker said prior to Saturday's contest that Gurriel is getting a "physical and mental day off." However, he didn't sound too concerned about Gurriel's hand and said that the first baseman should be back in the lineup Sunday.

Gurriel isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel started in each of the last four games and went 1-for-14 with two strikeouts during that time. He'll retreat to the bench Saturday as Aledmys Diaz (quadriceps) returns to action at first base.

Walker is not starting Saturday against the Astros, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Walker sits for just the fourth fime all season. Pavin Smith gets the start at first base, while Wyatt Mathisen will be the designated hitter.

Votto went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.

The six-time All-Star hit the third of four Reds homers off opposing starter Jonathan Stiever. He now has four long balls in his last eight games, giving him 10 for the season. Votto, who has been batting third of late for Cincinnati, now has an even .800 OPS after finishing with a career-low .768 mark in 2019.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's 6-0 win over the Giants.

Olson broke the game open in the third inning with his 14th home run of the season. While Olson's strikeout rate is up -- just under 30 percent -- his .191 batting average is worse than he deserves. Olson has just a .200 BABIP and Statcast gives him an xBA of .239 through 214 plate appearances.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, a walk and a run scored in a 15-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

It was the third time this month that Freeman has recorded three hits in a game. The highlight of his night came early on, when he roped a two-run double into right field to extend the lead to 3-0. Freeman is enjoying a spectacular September in which he is hitting .439/.537/.848 with six home runs, 27 RBI and 17 runs scored in 17 games. The four-time All-Star continues to be one of the strongest hitters in an explosive Braves lineup that's averaging over seven runs per game during the final month of the regular season.

White went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Friday's loss to the Padres.

White got the Mariners on the scoreboard with a 403-foot solo blast against Pierce Johnson in the bottom of the eighth inning. The long ball was the sixth of the year for the 24-year-old, who is batting .177/.256/.340 overall.
