Gimenez was called up by Cleveland on Saturday.

Gimenez came with plenty of hype over the offseason following a trade from the Mets, but he fell flat on his face, hitting just .179/.226/.308 in 29 games. He won't be in the lineup immediately upon his promotion, but he seems to have earned another shot at a regular role, as he hit .287/.342/.502 in 52 games for Triple-A Columbus. J.C. Mejia was optioned in a corresponding move.

Kim isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Kim has gone 3-for-9 with a home run, a double, three runs and three RBI across his last four appearances, but he'll be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. Jake Cronenworth will shift to shortstop while Eric Hosmer remains at first base. Expect the Padres to proceed with Cronenworth rather than Kim as the team's primary option at shortstop while Fernando Tatis (shoulder) remains without a timeline to return from the injured list.

Lopez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Lopez hits the bench after starting 10 straight games, a stretch in which he hit .265/.265/.412. Hanser Alberto will start at shortstop in his absence.

Marte isn't starting Saturday's game against San Diego, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte started in each of the last three games, and he went 3-for-12 with a double, an RBI and a walk. Josh VanMeter will start at second base while Pavin Smith takes over in center field.

Arraez will sit Saturday against Houston.

Arraez has swung a hot bat since early July, hitting .424/.466/.515 over his last 19 games. He'll hit the bench for the second time in three games, with Jorge Polanco starting at second base and Willians Astudillo starting at third.

McNeil isn't starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Manager Luis Rojas had said prior to the series against the Phillies that he expected McNeil to start every game this weekend, but he'll be excluded from the lineup Saturday. Jonathan Villar will start at the keystone and bat sixth.

Clement went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Detroit.

The 25-year-old got a start at third base to help Jose Ramirez avoid extra wear and tear on his sore elbow. Clement was solid from the bottom of the order, posting his first career three-hit game. The infielder has a modest .231/.277/.269 slash line with four RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles through 86 plate appearances. He's a pure contact hitter, as he's striking out only 12.8 percent and walking just 3.7 percent of the time.

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

Torres has gone 6-for-15 with three doubles, five RBI, a run and a stolen base across the last four games, and he'll get his first day off in over a month. Tyler Wade will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Hernandez started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 4-1 loss to Oakland.

Hernandez had his contract selected Thursday and started both games since joining the Rangers. He's played third and second base in his two games and brings elite defense to Texas' infield. The Rangers have several offseason questions and want to see if Hernandez can be an answer at second base, where Nick Solak fell off the cliff after a strong April.

India went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-0 win over the Pirates.

The Reds' leadoff hitter took Mitch Keller deep in the sixth inning to cap the scoring on the night. India has gone yard three times in the last four games and five times in the last seven, boosting the rookie's slash line on the season to .283/.401/.463 with 13 homers, seven steals, 47 RBI and 62 runs through 99 contests.
