  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Hamstring issues return

    Rodgers was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Dodgers due to left hamstring soreness.

    Rodgers missed two games earlier in the week due to left hamstring problems before returning to action Friday, and his injury will now cause him to sit down once again.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting rest against lefty

    Turang isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | SF

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Riding pine Saturday

    Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday versus St. Louis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Wisely will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after making three consecutive starts at second base. Casey Schmitt will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth in Wisely's stead.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Not starting Saturday

    Lopez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Although Lopez has gone 8-for-18 and scored five runs during his five-game hitting streak, the Marlins will sit him down Saturday while Javier Sanoja picks up a start at the keystone.

  • Nicky Lopez 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Lopez isn't in the White Sox's lineup Saturday versus the Tigers.

    Lopez will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going just 1-for-16 over his last five games. Jacob Amaya will take over as Chicago's shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Resting Saturday

    Torres isn't in the Yankees' lineup Saturday against the Pirates.

    Torres will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-4 during a loss in Friday's series opener. He'll be replaced at the keystone by Jon Berti, who will bat ninth.

  • Vaughn Grissom SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Three-hit night in loss

    Grissom went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Grissom, who started for the fourth time in the last five games, is 7-for-18 (.389) with a double, two RBI and two steals since being called up last week. It was a rough year for the 23-year-old, whose spring training groin/hamstring injury lingered for months. A positive finish to the season, including a productive stint at Triple-A Worcester, should put him in line to be Boston's starter at second base in 2025.
