Maton isn't starting Saturday against the Angels due to a sore right shoulder, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Maton went 1-for-2 with a triple, a run, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout in Friday's win over the Angels, but he sustained a shoulder injury. He's still sore Saturday but isn't dealing with any structural damage and expects to return soon. Johan Camargo is starting at second base while Bryson Stott takes over at shortstop Saturday.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Rehab assignment begins Saturday
Muncy (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, broadcaster Alex Freedman reports.
Muncy's rehab assignment was pushed back a few days after he was initially scheduled to begin playing in minor-league games Thursday, but he'll start at the hot corner and bat second Saturday. The 31-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since May 28, and he'll likely be able to rejoin the Dodgers in the coming days.

Longoria isn't starting Saturday against the Marlins, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Swats second homer
Hayes went 2-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.
The third baseman took J.B. Wendelken deep in the ninth inning to give the Pirates a flicker of hope they could make a comeback, but all it did was create a save for Mark Melancon. Hayes has only two homers on the season, but both have come during his current six-game hitting streak, and he's pushed his slash line on the year up to .295/.379/.405 in the process.

Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA
Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Blasts another home run
Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.
Wisdom was a bright spot in a 14-5 loss, launching a three-run home run in the first inning, then driving home another run on a single in the seventh. The third baseman is up to 12 home runs and 31 RBI through 49 games. He has a decent chance of surpassing his career highs of 28 homers and 61 RBI, both of which he recorded during his breakout 2021 campaign.

Jason Vosler 3B | SEA
Giants' Jason Vosler: Clubs third homer
Vosler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 15-6 win over the Marlins.
Vosler went yard in the sixth inning for his second extra-base hit in three games since he was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on June 1. The utility man has been solid when called upon this year, slashing .295/.373/.545 with three homers, seven RBI, seven runs scored and a pair of doubles in 51 plate appearances. He's also been caught stealing in his lone attempt.

Manny Machado 3B | SD
Padres' Manny Machado: Clubs three-run homer
Machado went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 7-0 win over the Brewers.
Machado has just two homers in his last 24 games, but he's batting (.311) in that span, which is actually a decrease from his hot start to 2022. The third baseman went deep off Brewers ace Corbin Burnes in the fourth inning to extend the Padres' lead to 5-0. Machado is up to a .344/.421/.566 slash line with nine homers, 32 RBI, 38 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 13 doubles and a triple through 50 contests.

Giants' Jason Vosler: Added to Friday's lineup
Vosler was added to the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.
The 28-year-old was initially slated to get a day off Friday, but he'll start at the hot corner and bat ninth after Tommy La Stella (undisclosed) was a late scratch. Vosler went 1-for-4 with a double, a run, a walk and two strikeouts over the last two games.
