Bogaerts isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Bogaerts has been rather underwhelming to start the season, slashing .219/.275/.297 through 69 plate appearances. He'll get a chance to regroup Saturday while Tyler Wade starts at second base, allowing Eguy Rosario to cover third.

Valdez was removed from Saturday's game against the Angels with an apparent arm injury, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Valdez tripped while attempting to steal second base, causing Miguel Sano to also fall and land on Valdez's left arm/wrist while attempting to run him down. The 25-year-old second baseman will presumably undergo imaging on his left arm, and the Red Sox should have more information on his status in the near future.

The Rangers transferred Foscue (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Satuday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

The Rangers selected Austin Pruitt's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday to make up for the loss of Brock Burke (hand), so Foscue will move to the 60-day IL in order to clear space on the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old infielder has only been on the injured list since Monday, so he won't be eligible to return until June 7.

Triolo isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Triolo will get a day to rest after going 3-for-7 with an RBI and a run scored through the first two games of the series. Alika Williams will instead get the nod at the keystone, batting ninth.

Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Southpaw Marco Gonzales will start for the Pirates on Saturday, meaning the left-handed bat of Stott will watch the beginning of the game from the dugout. Edmundo Sosa will enter the lineup to play second base while batting sixth.

Frazier isn't in the Royals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

The Mets will send southpaw Sean Manaea to the mound to start Saturday, so the lefty-hitting Frazier will step out of the lineup. Nick Loftin will instead start at the keystone and bat third.

Espinal started at third base and went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Friday's 11-1 win over the White Sox.

Espinal delivered one run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning then put the coda on the game with a two-run single in the ninth. He's typically in the lineup against left-handers but made his first start against a righty Friday, filling in for a slumping Jeimer Candelario. Both of Espinal's hits Friday were off lefties.

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol said Friday that Edman (wrist) will ramp up his rehab process Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Edman was shut down during spring training after experiencing lingering pain in his surgically repaired right wrist. He started the season on the 10-day IL and has not yet been cleared for most baseball activities. Starting Monday, Edman and Dylan Carlson (shoulder) will hit off a tee and against soft-toss throws from coaches in the first step of their rehab process. With the Cardinals last season, Edman slashed .248/.307/.399 with 13 home runs and 47 RBI over 528 plate appearances.

Valdez isn't in Boston's lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Valdez will take a seat as lefty Reid Detmers prepares to start Friday's series opener for the Halos. Pablo Reyes will man second base instead while Bobby Dalbec covers the hot corner.

Turang is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore.

Turang started the past 10 games after sitting Opening Day against a left-handed starter, but he'll take a seat Friday with right-hander Tyler Wells pitching for the Orioles. Andrew Monasterio will handle the keystone and bat eighth.
