Campusano isn't in San Diego's lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Campusano will get a breather after slashing .158/.200/.158 with three RBI across the Padres' last six games. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the plate instead while batting ninth.

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

Raleigh will get a day to regroup after striking out in each of his four at-bats during Friday's series opener. Seby Zavala will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth.

Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Yankees.

Naylor went 0-for-2 and walked twice during a loss in Game 1, and he'll watch the second game of Saturday's action from the dugout. David Fry will get the nod behind the plate and bat seventh.

Kelly isn't in the Tigers' lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

After going 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored during Game 1, Kelly will get a breather in the nightcap. Jake Rogers will take his place behind the plate and bat ninth.

Ruiz (illness) isn't in the Nationals' lineup Saturday versus Oakland, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz has now missed four consecutive starts due to illness, but the 25-year-old backstop remains day-to-day. Riley Adams will start again in Ruiz's place and bat eighth.

Perez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Mets.

Perez was responsible for the Royals' only run and one of their three hits when he took Luis Severino deep in the second inning. Perez continues to hit well in the cleanup spot, batting .327 with an .871 OPS, three homers, 11 RBI, seven runs scored and a double over 14 contests. With the Royals playing well early on, Perez's success should lead to an increase in counting stats after he had 80 RBI and 59 runs scored over 140 games last year.

Realmuto isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Realmuto will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-7 with a run scored through the first two games of the series. Garrett Stubbs will take over behind the plate and bat seventh.

Stephenson isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Stephenson will get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored during Friday's blowout victory. Luke Maile will start behind the dish instead while batting eighth.

Kirk is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rockies.

Kirk is tied for seventh among catchers with 50 plate appearances, but he is hitting just .133, due in large part to a .162 BABIP. Brian Serven is starting behind the dish in this one, and meanwhile, Danny Jansen (wrist) has two rehab games under his belt with Triple-A Buffalo.

Wells isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

Wells will begin the first game of Saturday's slate in the dugout, though he will likely get the nod behind the dish in the nightcap. In the meantime, Jose Trevino will start against right-hander Carlos Carrasco, batting eighth.
