Rosario went 2-for-3 with a home run and three runs scored Saturday against the White Sox.

Rosario got Cleveland on the board with a solo blast in the fourth inning, his sixth home run of the season. He also doubled and drew a walk to match his season high with six total bases. Rosario has put together a productive stretch over the past week, slashing .296/.355/.481 in his last seven games.

Marte (hamstring) was activated off the injured list Saturday.

Marte missed just over a month with a strained left hamstring. He went hitless in three rehab games but is nonetheless considered ready to go. Andrew Young was optioned in a corresponding move.

Clement is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Clement had started each of the last two games and went 1-for-6 with a run. Owen Miller will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

Arraez (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Arraez will be back in action after a minimal stay on the IL, and he'll start at the hot corner and bat fourth Saturday. In six games since the All-Star break, the 24-year-old has gone 7-for-17 with a double, two runs and two strikeouts. Gilberto Celestino was sent down to make room on the active roster.

Andrus went 2-for-2 with two walks in a win over the Angels on Friday.

The veteran shortstop's on-base percentage still sits at .281 following Friday's busy night, underscoring how sluggish of a season it's been in certain ways for Andrus. Nevertheless, he's become a serviceable fantasy contributor this summer after an utterly forgettable start to the season, posting a serviceable .267 average with 13 doubles, two home runs, two stolen bases and 17 RBI in 49 games since June 1.

Biggio is not starting Saturday's game against the Royals.

He's hitting just .186 against left-handed pitching this season, so he takes a seat with southpaw Mike Minor on the hill for Kansas City. In 11 games since the All-Star break, Biggio has gone 6-for-32 with two RBI. Santiago Espinal will start at third base and bat eighth Saturday.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Friday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

Garcia was called up by the Nationals on Wednesday, and he put the team on the board with his first home run of the season Friday. The 21-year-old will likely serve as the primary second baseman for the major-league club after Trea Turner (illness) and Josh Harrison were recently traded.

Altuve went 3-for-5 with two home runs, five RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-6 win over San Francisco.

Altuve had a solo shot in the fifth inning to give Houston a 3-2 lead, then hit a grand slam in the sixth that broke open the game. The second baseman, who is 8-for-16 over the last three contests, is up to 25 home runs over 91 games. That threatens his career-best 31 hit in 2019.

India went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

The rookie put together the best performance of his brief career, leading off the game with a solo shot and then capping the scoring for the Reds with a two-run blast off Anthony Banda in the ninth inning. In 14 games since the All-Star break, India is slashing .309/.433/.582 with four of his 10 homers on the year.

Merrifield went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Both steals came in the eighth inning off Brad Hand, as the Royals' leadoff hitter tried to spur a rally. Merrifield extended his hitting streak to 10 games with the performance and pushed his league-leading stolen base total to 27.
