  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Joins big club, starting Saturday

    Julien was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He'll bat ninth and play second base against the Brewers.

    With Carlos Correa (foot) placed on the injured list, the Twins had a significant need for middle infield depth, and opted to bring Julien up to the big-league roster. The 25-year-old has 194 plate appearances with Minnesota this season, slashing .207/.309/.367 with seven home runs and six stolen bases.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Called up Saturday

    Foscue was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Foscue will make his return to the big leagues after missing two months with an oblique injury and then being optioned to Triple-A on June 20 upon activation from the 60-day injured list. The 25-year-old produced a .242 average with three home runs, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base over 19 games with Round Rock after his activation. Foscue will provide the Rangers with a depth option behind Marcus Semien at second base and Josh Smith a third base on the major-league roster with Texas.

  • Keston Hiura 1B | COL

    Angels' Keston Hiura: Breather Saturday

    Hiura will sit Saturday versus the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Hiura will head to the bench after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Luis Guillorme will make his return to the lineup after a two-game absence with back tightness, starting at second base and batting ninth against Oakland.

  • Brandon Drury 1B | CHW

    Angels' Brandon Drury: Sitting Saturday

    Drury is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Drury will get a day off after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 13-3 loss. Anthony Rendon will take over at third base while Willie Calhoun enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats fourth against Oakland.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Angels' Luis Guillorme: Back in lineup Saturday

    Guillorme (back) is in the lineup at second base, batting ninth Saturday versus the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Guillorme will return to the lineup after missing the team's last two contests with back tightness. The 29-year-old has gone just 1-for-16 with two walks, two strikeouts and a stolen base during the month of July.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Idle versus lefty

    Keith isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will toe the slab for Toronto on Saturday, meaning the lefty-hitting Keith will begin the game on the bench. Andy Ibanez will get the nod at second base while batting leadoff.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Resting versus lefty

    Lowe isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Left-hander Nestor Cortes will draw the start on the mound for New York, so the lefty-hitting Lowe will take a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. In his place, Curtis Mead will serve as the designated hitter and bat third.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | CHW

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Rays recalled Mead from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Mead will rejoin the Rays as infield depth to replace Yandy Diaz (personal), who landed on the restricted list Saturday. Mead was optioned to Triple-A in early May after slashing .218/.269/.276 through 93 plate appearances, and he's since posted an .847 OPS in the minor leagues. He's unlikely to see regular playing time while with the Rays and will likely return to Durham once Diaz rejoins the team.

  • Vaughn Grissom SS | LAA

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Rehab starting Saturday

    Grissom (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    If there are no setbacks, Grissom should be positioned to return at some point in August. He's missed a lot of time due to various leg injuries and may require close to the maximum 20 days allowed on a rehab assignment.

  • Nicky Lopez 3B | ARI

    White Sox's Nicky Lopez: On bench in Baldwin's debut

    Lopez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    The lefty-hitting Lopez will take a seat against Royals right-hander Michael Wacha in the White Sox's first game after the All-Star break. With the White Sox calling up prospect Brooks Baldwin from Triple-A Charlotte and installing him as the starter at second base Friday in his MLB debut, Lopez's time as a regular in the infield could be over. The veteran went hitless over his final three starts before the break, bringing his season-long slash line down to a dismal .240/.297/.287 over 285 plate appearances.
