Taylor went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Mariners. He was also hit by two pitches.

Jorge Soler (groin) was pulled from the game early, so Taylor filled in as the right fielder. He made an impact right away with a second-inning homer and also plated the tying run one frame later. Should Soler miss any time, Taylor would be an option to fill in until Mike Trout is ready to play in right field. Taylor is slashing .220/.258/.356 with one homer, five RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base over 62 plate appearances between the Angels and the Dodgers this season.

McNeil went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

McNeil has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 9-for-32 (.281) with two homers in that span. The 33-year-old's blast gave the Mets a 4-1 lead in the sixth inning. McNeil is batting .240 with an .805 OPS, four homers, 13 RBI, nine runs scored, four doubles, three triples and a stolen base across 34 contests this season. He's been a regular in the lineup since returning from a season-opening oblique injury, splitting time between second base and the outfield.

Muncy is out of Saturday's lineup against the Orioles.

Muncy had started three straight games at third base since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. He's gone 3-for-13 with a home run and five strikeouts and will hit the bench Saturday in favor of Logan Davidson.

Urias is out of Saturday's lineup against the Orioles.

Urias is sitting for the second time in his last three games and is hitting just .182 across his last 10 starts. Max Schuemann will take over at second base and hit ninth.

Taylor is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

Taylor had started three straight games at second base entering Saturday's matchup. However, he'll head to the bench Saturday with Kevin Newman entering the lineup to play third base, shifting Luis Rengifo to second base.

Chisholm is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Saturday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Chisholm will take a breather from Saturday's AL East showdown after going 3-for-5 with two steals, one home run and four RBI in Friday's win. Pablo Reyes will start at third base and bat eighth. Chisholm has batted .500 (8-for-16) since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Frazier went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Friday against the Phillies.

Frazier has started only two of four games since Nick Gonzales returned, and his playing time at second base will likely diminish greatly. However, he started in right field Friday with both Andrew McCutchen and Tommy Pham out of the lineup. Frazier has hit well when given a chance of late, batting .368 with four RBI and five runs scored across his last 10 starts.

Keith is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Saturday.

Keith will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-3 in Friday's 3-1 win. Kerry Carpenter will serve as the designated hitter and bat third while Riley Greene, Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez man the outfield for the Tigers.

Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the Guardians.

Rodgers has been relegated to a bench role, with Friday's start marking his first since May 28. He made the most of his chance by popping his second home run of the season in the sixth inning. Across 115 plate appearances on the campaign, Rodgers has hit just .194/.270/.291.

Holliday went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Holliday had gone just 3-for-22 (.136) over his previous six games, though two of his hits in that span went for extra bases. This was his fifth three-hit game of the season. The infielder is up to eight homers, 27 RBI, 24 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .268/.320/.445 slash line through 56 contests. Holliday has been steady enough lately to retain the leadoff spot in the lineup since mid-May.
