Gorman went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Brewers.

Gorman crushed a 433-foot homer off Jose Quintana to give the Cardinals a 7-1 lead in the fifth inning. He has been swinging a hot bat in June, going 9-for-28 with three home runs, eight RBI and five runs scored over 11 games. The 25-year-old is slashing .220/.317/.398 with four long balls, 17 RBI and 17 runs scored across just 139 plate appearances this season. He could be at risk of returning to the bench with Brendan Donovan (toe) expected back Sunday but has certainly made a strong case for continued playing time with his recent performance.

Donovan (toe) expects to return to the lineup Sunday versus the Brewers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Donovan took batting practice and fielded ground balls Saturday and was pain-free afterward. He will wear a carbon-fiber orthotic in his shoe in the short term, but it appears that he will avoid a stint on the injured list after missing the past four games.

Edman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Edman will get a day to rest after going 0-for-3 during a loss in Friday's series opener. Hyeseong Kim will fill in at the keystone and bat ninth.

Chisholm (groin) will start at third base and bat fifth against the Red Sox on Saturday.

Chisholm sat out back-to-back contests after injuring his groin Wednesday, but a few days of rest has him feeling well enough to return to the starting nine. The 27-year-old infielder has been great since the start of June, going 9-for-26 (.346) with two homers and seven RBI in his last eight games.

Donovan (toe) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Saturday marks Donovan's fourth consecutive absence from the starting lineup due to a sprained big toe on his left foot. The Cards are expected to decide Sunday whether he needs to spend time on the injured list, and until he returns, Nolan Gorman will continue to start at second base.

The Astros selected Guillorme's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Guillorme had spent the campaign with Sugar Land until Saturday, posting a .248/.377/.317 slash line with two homers, 22 RBI and three stolen bases over 57 contests. The veteran utility man logged big-league time with three different teams last year after spending the first six years of his MLB career with the Mets. Guillorme's call-up was part of a flurry of Astros roster moves Saturday -- pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) was transferred to the 60-day IL, outfielder Jacob Melton (ankle) landed on the 10-day IL, utility man Shay Whitcomb was optioned to the minors and outfielder Cooper Hummel also had his contract selected from Triple-A.

Houston optioned Whitcomb to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Whitcomb had been summoned to the big club May 31 and went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts and no walks while up in the majors. He'll now return to Sugar Land, where he was a .956 OPS with 18 homers, 38 RBI and six steals over 53 games this season. Whitcomb's demotion was part of a series of Astros roster moves Saturday -- Jacob Melton (ankle) landed on the 10-day injured list, both Cooper Hummel and Luis Guillorme were selected from Triple-A and Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 7-2 loss to Seattle.

Schneemann made his first start in five games, and Friday marked the first time in five games that the Guardians faced a right-hander. He's doing better against righties (.802 OPS) than southpaws (.526), so he should continue to serve on the strong side of a platoon, though Schneemann has recently struggled, going 14-for-72 (.194) over his last 23 contests.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored Friday against the Mets.

Lowe has had hits come in bunches in June, as Friday marked his third multi-hit game across 11 starts in the month. He began the Rays' rally in the sixth inning with a single and came around to score, giving him eight runs scored in that same 11-game span.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Cubs.

Frazier looked to be the odd man out when Nick Gonzales returned to the lineup, but Frazier has since overtaken Alexander Canario and Tommy Pham for playing time in left field. He's started four of Pittsburgh's last five games at the position and gone 6-for-20 with three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in that span.
