Rosario went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Royals.

The shortstop already had four multi-hit efforts in July, two shy of matching the number he had in June. Rosario is batting .351 (13-for-37) in eight games this month, lifting his season slash line to .268/.312/.363 through 82 contests. He's also got 12 RBI in July and 34 on the year to go with nine stolen bases, two home runs, 43 runs scored, 16 doubles and two triples.

Gimenez went 0-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Royals.

Gimenez has seemingly made a larger commitment to run with seven steals through eight games in July. His theft Saturday salvaged an otherwise unimpressive showing, though he's hit safely in six of his games this month. He's at a .245/.318/.384 slash line through 85 contests, and he now has 15 steals on 18 attempts this season.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Astros.

Caballero picked up his second multi-steal game of the week, and he was able to snap an 0-for-10 funk at the plate. The second baseman is up to 15-for-17 on the basepaths this year, but he's had some trouble hitting consistently with a .233 batting average. He's managed to offset that with a solid 12.2 percent walk rate over 180 plate appearances, helping him achieve a .361 on-base percentage.

Drury's (shoulder) MRI returned clean Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Drury had testing done Friday as there was concern that he was dealing with something more serious than just a bruise. However, the MRI revealed only inflammation. Drury is hoping to start hitting and fielding ground balls in the coming days, with the goal of returning shortly after the All-Star break.

Kim (toe) isn't in the Padres' lineup Saturday against the Mets, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim jammed his right big toe during Friday's loss to the Mets and will officially miss a start because of the injury. Matthew Batten will start at second base and bat eighth Saturday while Kim recovers.

Arraez isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

With left-hander Ranger Suarez taking the mound Saturday for Philadelphia, Arraez will receive a rare day off as the Marlins opt for a righties-only lineup. Garrett Hampson will start at the keystone in Arraez's place and bat ninth.

Kemp will not start Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Kemp started against each of the last six lefties the Athletics faced but will hit the bench here against James Paxton. Jordan Diaz will start at second base Saturday.

Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

With left-hander Braxton Garrett set to start for Miami, the left-handed bat of Stott will remain in the Phillies' dugout to begin the game. Josh Harrison will take over at second base and bat seventh.

Castro isn't in the Rockies' lineup Saturday against San Francisco, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Castro is 5-for-15 with an RBI and two runs scored through the first week of July, and he'll catch a breather Saturday. Alan Trejo will start at the keystone in Castro's place and bat seventh.

Donovoan went 3-for-5 in Friday's 8-7 loss to the White Sox.

Donovan has a trio of three-hit efforts over his first five games in July. He remains stuck at designated hitter due to a no-throw program to mitigate his arm soreness. His bat's been too hot to keep out of the lineup even with the injury. Donovan owns a strong .289/.375/.415 slash line with nine home runs, 26 RBI, 37 runs scored and four stolen bases over 79 contests.
