Gimenez isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Gimenez started at second base in Saturday's matinee and went 1-for-3 with a double, a run, a walk and a strikeout. He'll take a seat while Owen Miller starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

Torres isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Torres was productive during the first game in the twin bill, as he went 3-for-4 with three RBI, a run and a walk. However, he'll get a breather while DJ LeMahieu shifts to second base with Joey Gallo entering the lineup in right field.

Estrada was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox due to an illness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada was slated to start at second base Saturday, but Jason Vosler will step in at the keystone and bat seventh. It's not yet clear whether Estrada will be available off the bench, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day.

Haggerty is starting Saturday's game against Oakland.

Haggerty is serving as the starting right fielder and batting ninth for a fourth consecutive game. Over the last three matchups, he's gone 4-for-10 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base.

Andrus isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Andrus is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-17 with a homer, a double, six RBI, two runs and a stolen base. He'll get a breather while Nick Allen starts at shortstop with Tony Kemp taking over at second base.

McNeil isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rangers.

McNeil started in the last three matchups and went 1-for-9 with a run, a walk and five strikeouts during that time. J.D. Davis is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth Saturday.

Gorman (hand) is starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman was out of the lineup for three consecutive games due to a hand injury, but he appeared as a pinch hitter Friday and went 0-for-1. He'll start at the keystone and bat fifth during Saturday's matchup.

Arauz isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Arauz is getting a day off after he went 0-for-6 with four strikeouts over the last two games. Tyler Nevin is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

The 22-year-old isn't known for his speed, and Garcia's first steal of the year in the majors came on his third attempt. He's otherwise been a force since being called up at the beginning of June, slashing .327/.336/.477 through 28 games with two homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs as he stakes his claim to the starting shortstop job in Washington.

Marte will continue to serve as the designated hitter at least through the current series against the Rockies, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks are being extra cautious with Marte, who sustained a hamstring injury more than two weeks ago. He's since returned but served as the DH in seven games played. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo mentioned giving Marte a day off in the coming days.
