Castro went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Guardians.

Castro was one of two Tigers to post multiple hits, and he was the only one with an extra-base knock in the contest. The 28-year-old infielder has three multi-hit games in his last seven. For the season, he's maintained a solid .325/.338/.519 slash line with three home runs, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, a triple and four doubles in 80 plate appearances. He's yet to attempt a stolen base.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with a run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Royals.

Arraez extended his hit streak to eight straight games Saturday, ripping three singles and scoring a run in the contest. During the streak, the 25-year-old has produced six multi-hit efforts and raised his average from .313 to .359. His .455 on-base percentage over 131 at-bats leads the big-leagues.

Chavis (forearm) will sit Saturday against the Padres.

Chavis left Friday's game with left forearm discomfort, an issue which stems from when he was struck in the arm by a pitch Wednesday against the Rockies. Josh VanMeter will start at first base Saturday.

Jackson (oblique) was activated from the minor-league injured list Thursday.

Jackson missed over six weeks while dealing with an oblique strain, and he's played in only four contests so far this season. Since returning from the injury, the 22-year-old has gone 0-for-4 with two walks, three strikeouts, two runs and a stolen base across two games.

Gorman went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, four RBI and three runs in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Brewers.

Gorman went off in this one. First he ripped a solo homer off Adrian Houser in the first inning, notching home run No. 1 of his MLB career. He then notched an RBI single in the third and a two-RBI double in the fourth before securing another single in the sixth frame. Coming into Saturday, Gorman had gone 0-for-11 in his prior four contests, but the four-hit effort raised his batting average to .360, and he now has a homer, seven runs and five RBI over his first 25 at-bats in the big-leagues.

Estrada isn't starting Saturday against the Reds.

Estrada will be out of the lineup for a second straight game after recently drawing nine consecutive starts. Donovan Walton is starting at the keystone and batting eighth.

Mendick was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Mendick owns a career .237/.297/.348 slash line in 366 major-league plate appearances, 26 of which have come this season. He'll give the White Sox an additional option in the infield for now, though considering that it was Dallas Keuchel who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, it's possible Mendick returns to the minors in a few days when the White Sox add another pitcher.

Rosario isn't starting Saturday against the Tigers.

Rosario was initially slated to get a day off Friday before the game was postponed, so he'll instead take a seat Saturday. Steven Kwan will start in left field while Oscar Gonzalez takes over in right.

Kemp isn't starting Saturday against the Rangers.

Kemp went just 1-for-4 with a run and two strikeouts Friday, and he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Sheldon Neuse will start at second base while Chad Pinder takes over in left field.

Brujan isn't starting Saturday against the Yankees, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Brujan started the last three games and went 2-for-9 with three strikeouts. Taylor Walls will take over at the keystone while Brett Phillips enters the lineup in right field.
