Arraez is again out of the Marlins' lineup Saturday due to discomfort in his left index finger, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Arraez also sat out Friday with what is being called a day-to-day issue with his left index finger. Garrett Hampson will get another start at second base and bat ninth Saturday against the Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson.

Miller went 2-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's victory over the Padres.

Miller started Friday for just the fourth time in 14 games, but he capitalized on the opportunity, recording both his first multi-hit game and steal since joining the Brewers over the offseason. Miller primarily played first base last season with the Guardians, but with a couple veterans occupying that spot in Milwaukee, all four of his starts this year have come at second base.

Guillorme went 2-for-3 with three walks, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the A's.

Getting the start at second base and hitting eighth, Guillorme was one of four Mets to reach base at least four times on a night when the team scored 17 runs on 11 hits and a stunning 17 walks. The utility infielder has seen action in nine games so far this season, batting .273 (6-for-22) with one RBI and four runs, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit or first steal.

Garcia went 2-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Guardians.

His fourth-inning long ball off Cal Quantrill was Garcia's first of the season. The 22-year-old just returned from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and he'll look to build some momentum at the plate after batting .226 (7-for-31) through his first nine games this season.

Haggerty went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Rockies on Friday.

Haggerty swiped his third bag of the season following his second-inning walk, with that pair of developments serving as his only offensive contributions on the night. The 28-year-old has struggled plenty at the plate early in 2023 with just a .118 average through 19 plate appearances, but his defensive versatility continues to be valued, especially while fellow utility man Dylan Moore (oblique) remains sidelined.

Julien is batting leadoff Saturday against the Yankees.

Byron Buxton is serving as the designated hitter and batting third. Julien seems to have taken over the leadoff spot against right-handed pitching and will start things off for the Twins on Saturday with Domingo German on the mound for New York.

Kemp went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Mets on Friday.

Kemp was able to make a modest impact from the top of the order and rewarded fantasy managers with his second stolen base of the season in the process. The 31-year-old is carrying just a .213 average and .564 OPS through 55 plate appearances, but he's now reached safely in four straight games.

Rojas started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to Miami.

Rojas was in the starting lineup for the second time this season against a lefty (Trevor Rogers). Kyle Lewis (illness) opened the season as the DH against southpaws, but he remains out, so manager Torey Lovullo opted for Rojas, who entered the contest with a .412 average and 1.006 OPS.

Estrada went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

Getting the start in left field for the banged-up Giants, Estrada led off the game with his third homer of the season, crushing a 3-2 fastball from Joey Wentz over the wall in center field. Estrada has gone yard in back-to-back games and has produced multi-hit performances in six of 12 contests so far, leading to a .370/.420/.630 slash line that also features six RBI, nine runs and two stolen bases.

Gorman went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Gorman had a pair of RBI singles, providing the Cardinals' first and last runs of the game. The 22-year-old is still hitting excellently to begin 2023, though this was just his third multi-hit effort. He's up to a .333/.447/.692 slash line with four home runs, 12 RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base through 47 plate appearances.
