Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-4 victory over the Cubs.

Muncy extended the Dodgers' lead to 6-2 with a two-run homer in the seventh off Mark Leiter and hit a solo shot in the ninth off Brad Boxberger. After his third multi-homer game this season, Muncy now has 10 long balls, tying him with Pete Alonso for the MLB lead.

Segura is out of the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Jon Berti will get the start at third base while Segura rests for the second game of the twin bill. Segura went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the Marlins' 6-1 win in Game 1.

Freeman (shoulder) is hitting eighth and playing third base against the Marlins on Saturday for the second game of a doubleheader.

Freeman has missed the past few games with a shoulder injury, but he'll return for the second game of a twin bill. Jose Ramirez will be the designated hitter for the contest with Gabriel Arias handling the shortstop duties and Amed Rosario out of the lineup.

Henderson was added to the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers when Jorge Mateo (hip) was scratched.

Henderson was set for a day off but will instead bat eighth and start at shortstop. He's disappointed in the early going this season, particularly in terms of his 34.3 percent strikeout rate, but he may be turning this around recently, striking out just three times in his last four games while recording four hits.

Peterson will be on the bench Saturday against the Rangers.

Peterson has been in nearly a strict platoon this season, starting just once against a lefty. With Andrew Heaney on the mound Saturday, Aledmys Diaz gets the nod at third base.

Machado is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Machado will get a day of rest against Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks. With Machado out, Juan Soto will hit third for the Diamondbacks with Trent Grisham in the leadoff spot and Fernando Tatis batting second.

Peraza went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. He also walked once.

Peraza's steal is his first in the majors this season, but the sixth when you count the five he had in nine games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 22-year-old infielder has significant speed and would be a major contributor to the category for fantasy players if he was to get an everyday role with the Yankees, but there's just no guarantee that will happen for Peraza in 2023.

Henderson will get the day off Saturday against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson is walking at a 21.4 percent clip this season but isn't doing much else at the plate, hitting .185/.371/.296 with one home run. He'll sit for the fourth time in the first 20 games as a result, with Ramon Urias starting at the hot corner.

LeMahieu hit a pinch-hit walkoff single to help the Yankees to a 3-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

LeMahieu began this contest on the bench, but with the bases loaded and no outs, he singled home pinch runner Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Yankees the win. That's the eighth RBI of the season for LeMahieu, and perhaps one that helps him break out of the 1-for-13 slump he was in prior to Saturday's contest.

Paredes will sit Saturday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes has homered three times in 18 games this season, not far from his pace of 20 homers in 111 games last year, but his overall .219/.286/.375 slash line is unimpressive. Taylor Walls will get the start at third base in his absence.
