Garcia will sit Saturday against the Tigers, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia hits the bench after starting 21 straight games at second base. He's making plenty of contact this season, striking out just 12.0 percent of the time, but that's resulted in only a modest .255/.301/.359 slash line. Ildemaro Vargas will spell him at the keystone Saturday.

Julien was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Julien will replace Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the big-league roster after Polanco was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Julien is one of the Twins' top prospects and has gone 6-for-27 with two homers, four RBI and four runs scored over eight games with Minnesota in 2023, while the 24-year-old is batting .287 with four long balls, 11 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases over 108 at-bats in 31 contests with St. Paul this season.

Polanco (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

After tweaking his hamstring Wednesday against the Dodgers, Polanco will now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The infielder will be eligible to return May 30. In the meantime, Edouard Julien was called up from Triple-A St. Paul to replace him on the major-league roster.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Frazier's already halfway to his career high of 10 homers, as this was his fifth long ball in 44 contests. It came in the ninth inning off Erik Swanson to provide the Orioles some additional breathing room in the win. Frazier has hit .261 (6-for-23) over his last seven contests, and he's at .229 with a .704 OPS, six stolen bases, 18 RBI and 23 runs scored across 150 plate appearances.

Lowe is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Milwaukee.

Lowe will get a day off as the Rays take on left-hander Eric Lauer and the Brewers on Saturday. Taylor Walls will draw the start at second base and bat seventh in his place.

Diaz is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Astros.

Diaz will take a seat after he went 1-for-2 with a walk in Friday's series opener. The 22-year-old has gone 3-for-24 over his last eight contests following a three-homer performance against the Yankees on May 9. Tony Kemp will draw the start at second base and bat eighth against Houston.

Merrifield is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Orioles.

Merrifield will get a day off after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in the Blue Jays' loss Friday. Merrifield has operated as regular in the lineup this season, and although he's batting just .200 since the beginning of May, he doesn't appear to be in danger of losing his starting role. Santiago Espinal will take over at second base and bat eighth against Baltimore.

Hoerner (hamstring) went 3-for-6 with two doubles and four RBI in Friday's 10-1 win over the Phillies.

Hoerner provided the four RBI from the leadoff spot, which shows how productive Chicago's lineup was from top to bottom. The infielder had just returned from the injured list before the game, so he was able to pick up right where he left off. Hoerner is now batting a robust .310 this season and should continue to be a strong fantasy performer.

Altuve went 0-for-4 with a walk Friday against the Athletics.

Altuve made his season debut after returning from a thumb injury and immediately occupied the leadoff spot in the order. He failed to reach base in each of his first four plate appearances but did manage to earn a walk in the bottom of the eighth inning. It may take a few games for Altuve to knock off the rust from his extended absence.

Polanco (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup against the Angels on Friday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Polanco was diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain after leaving Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, and he'll miss at least one more game while recovering. Willi Castro gets the start at second base in Polanco's absence.
