Davis (calf) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

The Mets have the DH available in Kansas City, but Davis wasn't cleared to fill that spot after tweaking his right calf while running to first base Friday. It's uncertain if he will be available in any capacity. Aaron Altherr will take over in left field and bat ninth against right-hander Jakob Junis.

Peterson is out of the starting lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Peterson's day off comes after having started 12 straight games over which the outfielder is slashing .262/.319/.524 with two home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored in 42 at-bats. The 29-year-old owns a .722 OPS in 21 plate appearances against southpaws. DJ Stewart will start in left field and hit seventh against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on Saturday.

Suarez (thumb) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

He suffered a sprained thumb in Friday's contest and will need at least another day to get right. Jose Peraza will start at third base and hit eighth.

Duffy went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Tigers on Friday.

Duffy produced the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Rays, who were held to five hits overall. The veteran infielder has mostly hit the ground running after finally kicking off his season July 23, as he now has six multi-hit efforts and is slashing a solid .290/.355/.348 over his first 76 plate appearances.

Madrigal went 1-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run for Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Madrigal, the Knights' leadoff batter, scampered around the bases in his first at-bat of the game. It was his first home run since his promotion to Charlotte, and he's slashing .281/.354/.351 in 13 games with his new team.

Moncada (hamstring) went 1-for-5 for Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Moncada kicked off his rehab assignment Friday, serving as the designated hitter for the Knights. The White Sox will want to see how he moves in the field before entertaining thoughts of activating the third baseman off the injured list.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to the Yankees on Friday.

While his teammates combined for just one hit, Ramirez recorded two extra-base hits, including his third homer in two days. Since the All-Star break, Ramirez is batting .333 with 30 extra-base hits -- including 13 home runs -- 39 RBI and 26 runs in 138 at-bats. That's brought his overall numbers up to a respectable level after a horrific first half. Ramirez is batting .253 with 20 homers, 74 RBI, 65 runs and 24 steals in 455 at-bats this season.

Escobar went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Giants.

With no outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, Escobar turned on a pitch right down the middle for a home run off reliever Tony Watson. The long ball soon sparked a rally as the Diamondbacks scored five runs in the inning to even up the score at 7-7. After battling through a 2-for-24 slump recently, Escobar has hit safely in each of the last three games. He now has 28 home runs, 97 RBI and 75 runs scored this season while batting .273/.329/.530.

McMahon went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Marlins.

McMahon gave the Rockies a two-run lead with a 444-foot blast off Sandy Alcantara in the second inning. It was his third long ball over the last four games and eighth since the All-Star break. Through 103 contests this season, the 24-year-old is batting .266/.344/.457 with 15 homers, 61 RBI and 54 runs scored.

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 shutout of the Marlins.

With two outs in the eighth inning, Arenado launched a solo homer off Ryne Stanek for the final scoring of the night. Arenado has now homered in back-to-back games for the first time since May, while the Rockies are now 20-6 when Arenado goes deep. That's not a coincidence considering his slash line of .303/.365/.549 with 28 long balls, 91 RBI and 78 runs scored on the year.
