Kingery was designated for assignment Saturday.

This is the second time Kingery has been DFA'd this season, with the previous move taking place Aug. 11. The veteran infielder has struggled at the plate during his time with the Angels, slashing a measly .148/.207/.185 with one stolen base and 11 strikeouts over 29 plate appearances. Kingery's 40-man roster spot has been assumed by Denzer Guzman, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

The Angels recalled Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Moore struggled in his first taste of the majors earlier this season, slashing .195/.287/.336 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs and no stolen bases over 130 plate appearances. He posted a meager .561 OPS over 10 games with Salt Lake after getting sent down Sept. 1 but will nonetheless get another look with the major-league squad. Moore is starting at second base and batting fifth Saturday versus Seattle, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Despite collecting a base hit in each of the first two games of the series, Rengifo will retreat to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Christian Moore will start at second base instead during his first day back in the majors and bat fifth against right-hander Bryan Woo.

McLain isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

McLain will get a breather Saturday after going 9-for-32 (.281) with a homer, four RBI and six runs scored through his first 10 games of September. Gavin Lux will start at the keystone instead, moving TJ Friedl into the DH spot and opening up center field for Will Benson.

Vargas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

After collecting a base hit in each of his last four games, Vargas will receive a day to rest while Tim Tawa starts at first base for the Diamondbacks.

Marte (foot) will start at second base and bat second Saturday against the Twins.

Marte was able to get through pregame activities without any problems, so he'll receive the green light to return to Arizona's lineup Saturday. The 31-year-old will aim to break out of a slump after going 3-for-26 with an RBI and two runs scored over his last seven games.

Edman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Giants, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Edman will retreat to the bench after going 1-for-8 with a run scored in two games since his return from the injured list. While he rests, Miguel Rojas will start at second base, and Michael Conforto, Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez will patrol the outfield.

Kim isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Saturday marks the fourth straight game that will begin with Kim on the bench, as he's been conceding starts at the keystone to Miguel Rojas and Tommy Edman. Kim looks as though he'll have to settle for a regular reserve role with the recent return of Edman from the injured list creating a logjam in the infield.

A CT scan and an MRI on Marte's right foot came back negative Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte sat out Friday's game due to a bruised right foot, and multiple tests have now confirmed that his injury isn't more serious than the team initially thought. The star second baseman will test his foot before Saturday's game against the Twins to determine whether he'll return to the starting lineup.

Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Dubon will get a chance to rest his legs Saturday after going 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's blowout victory. His absence will move Jose Altuve to second base while Zach Cole starts in left field.
