Jeffers isn't starting Saturday against the Tigers.

Jeffers was productive during Friday's series opener in Detroit, going 2-for-5 with a triple, a run and an RBI. He'll head to the bench while Gary Sanchez starts behind the plate and bats seventh.

Raleigh isn't in the lineup Saturday against Oakland.

Raleigh ended the Mariners' 21-year playoff drought with a walkoff home run in the ninth inning Friday, and he'll retreat to the bench for a second consecutive game. Luis Torrens is starting behind the dish and batting cleanup Saturday.

McGuire isn't starting Saturday against Toronto, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

McGuire has alternated starts behind the plate recently and will get a breather for Saturday's matchup. Connor Wong is starting at catcher and batting ninth.

Trevino isn't starting Saturday against Baltimore.

Trevino went 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's loss to the Orioles and will head to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Kyle Higashioka is starting behind the dish and batting eighth.

Nido went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss against Atlanta.

Nido's eighth-inning shot was too little and too late, as the Mets were behind by four and it would turn out to be the final run of the game as Atlanta took the win. It was Nido's third homer of the season, all of which have come this month. The catcher has been heating up in September, slashing .333/.340/.608 and raising his season batting average from .224 to .243 over that span.

Wynns went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Wynns has gone yard in two of his last four games, and he has multiple hits in five of his last eight. The surge has him up to a .264/.318/.365 slash line three homers, 21 RBI, 14 runs scored and seven doubles through 174 plate appearances. The 31-year-old has seen a slight uptick in playing time to go with his strong hitting, which has corresponded with Joey Bart hitting just .182 across 18 games in September.

Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Mariners.

Langeliers' second-inning blast was one of three hits for the Athletics, and he produced their lone run in the low-scoring game. The catcher has gone 8-for-26 (.308) with four doubles, a homer and three RBI in his last seven games. For the year, the rookie is up to a .219/.239/.406 slash line with four homers, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple through 134 plate appearances.

Raleigh hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Friday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.

Raleigh put an official end to the Mariners' 21-year playoff drought with his walkoff blast in the ninth inning. The catcher entered the game as a pinch hitter for Luis Torrens. Raleigh has three homers in his last six games, and he's gone deep 26 times this season. The 25-year-old has added a .208/.283/.485 slash line with 62 RBI, 45 runs scored, a stolen base, 20 doubles and a triple through 117 contests.

Bart is not in Friday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Bart is hitting .136 with zero home runs in his last 10 games. Austin Wynns will start behind the dish and hit ninth.

Heim has now began three of Texas' last four games in the dugout in favor of Kevin Plawecki and Sam Huff. Huff will get the nod to start behind the dish and bat seventh.
