White isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

White has notched a hit in back-to-back games, but the A's will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Jeff McNeil will shift to first base to cover for White, opening up the keystone for Donovan Walton.

The Rangers reinstated Jung (calf) from the injured list Saturday.

Jung has been sidelined for almost all of the second half due to a left calf strain, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Tuesday and has since gone 3-for-15 with a homer in four games. Now fully healthy, he figures to reclaim his job as Texas' everyday third baseman. Logan O'Hoppe was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Hayes will start at third base and bat ninth Saturday against the Brewers.

Hayes was left off the first draft of Saturday's lineup, but he'll step in to cover third base while Juan Brito shifts to second to cover for Matt McLain, who was scratched for unknown reasons. Hayes has posted just a .453 OPS across 220 plate appearances this season and has gone 1-for-9 since returning from the IL on Monday.

Hayes isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Hayes will retreat to the dugout to begin Saturday's affair after going 1-for-9 with five strikeouts across his first three games since returning from the injured list. Juan Brito will pick up a start at third base as a result and bat ninth.

Gonzales isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Gonzales will get a break Saturday after going 9-for-33 (.273) with two RBI and a run scored through his first nine games of September. Jacob Gonzalez will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Baty (knee) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Baty will miss a second consecutive start Saturday after leaving Wednesday's game with a left knee injury. Nick Morabito will pick up a start in left field and bat ninth.

Garcia (hamstring) went 1-for-5 with an RBI in a rehab game with Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

After playing five innings at third base Thursday, Garcia served as the designated hitter Friday in his second rehab game while recovering from a left hamstring strain. It's been a disappointing 2026 campaign for the 26-year-old, who has dealt with multiple injuries and is slashing .269/.324/.385 with three homers, 32 RBI, 34 runs and five stolen bases in 73 contests. How much time he'll need on his rehab assignment hasn't been specified, but if no setbacks emerge with the hamstring, Garcia could be back with the Royals in the next few days.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Phillies.

Riley launched his seventh career home run off Aaron Nola in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old is hitting .235 over 10 September games, though he's homered twice with seven RBI in that span. For the year, he's slashing .223/.294/.369 with 17 long balls, 68 RBI, 59 runs scored and nine steals across 578 plate appearances.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rangers.

Arenado's power continues to trend well -- he has homered three times over his last five games while adding five RBI in that span. The third baseman has also drawn at least one walk in four straight contests, a big improvement after he earned just seven free passes in all of August. Arenado is batting .239 with a .756 OPS, 24 homers, 70 RBI, 68 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases through 138 games this year.

Mayo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Friday's 7-4 win against Toronto.

Mayo's solo homer off Braydon Fisher in the seventh inning put the Orioles up 7-2. Mayo has four home runs in as many games and is up to 23 long balls on the year, which is second-most on the Orioles behind Pete Alonso (34 homers). Mayo has a .757 OPS with three steals and 60 RBI over 398 plate appearances this season.
