Bohm (hand) isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday versus Atlanta.

Bohm was cleared of any structural damage after he left Thursday's game with a left hand injury, but he'll now miss his second consecutive start as he continues to deal with some soreness. While he recovers, Weston Wilson will get the nod at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Clement isn't in Toronto's lineup Saturday against Minnesota.

Clement will get a breather Saturday after going 7-for-37 (.189) with two homers and eight RBI across the Jays' last 10 games. His absence will allow Leo Jimenez to pick up a start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Jung is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the A's.

Josh Smith will start at third base and bat third against right-hander Joey Estes. Jung has hit safely in six of his last seven games and he swiped two bags Thursday, but the 26-year-old is still slashing just .229/.234/.314 with two homers in 27 games since returning from right wrist surgery.

Bregman (elbow) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The third baseman will miss a second consecutive start due to elbow soreness, with Mauricio Dubon once again filling in at the hot corner. Bregman has been bothered by the elbow throughout August -- it cost him five games earlier in the month -- but there has been nothing to suggest an IL move will be necessary.

Espinal (shin) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

Espinal had to make an early exit from Friday's nightcap after fouling a ball off his left shin, and he'll take a seat for at least Saturday's game as he deals with some inflammation. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Noelvi Marte to start at third base while batting eighth.

Jung is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Following an 0-for-5, two-strikeout showing Friday, Jung's slash line is down to .222/.327/.267 through his first 13 games. He's one of the organization's top prospects and the Tigers figure to give him some runway to show what he can do, but Jung will give way to Ryan Kreidler at third base against right-hander Nick Pivetta.

The Orioles are expected to recall Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With rosters set to expand Sunday, Mayo will return to the majors for the stretch run, though he won't be assured everyday playing time. Widely considered one of the top prospects in baseball, Mayo has put together a big year at Triple-A with 22 homers and a .943 OPS in 87 games for Norfolk. His 1-for-17 showing during his first cup of coffee in the big leagues should not dampen enthusiasm long term in dynasty leagues.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Astros.

DeJong's game-tying homer off Josh Hader in the top of the ninth inning was just the second hit of the game for the Royals. Over his last 13 games, DeJong has gone 14-for-45 (.311) with five homers, three doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored, though he's struck out 19 times in that span. For the year, DeJong is at a .238/.289/.458 slash line with 24 homers, 55 RBI, 52 runs scored, two stolen bases and 17 doubles over 124 games between the Royals and White Sox. His recent results are encouraging, but a continually high strikeout rate makes him prone to regression.

Rivera went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

His two-run homer off Austin Gomber in the fourth inning put Baltimore in the lead for good. It was Rivera's first long ball as an Oriole and just his second of the season, and while he's started three of the last six games for his new squad, he's received only seven plate appearances during that time as Ramon Urias continues to see the bulk of the action at third base.

Espinal is day-to-day after fouling a ball off his left shin during Friday's 14-0 loss to the Brewers, MLB.com reports.

When Espinal first sustained the injury, the specific body part was unclear. Reds manager David Bell confirmed following the game that Espinal is dealing with a hematoma in the area of his left shin.
