Jimenez (hand) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Giants.

Jimenez was lifted from Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals shortly after being hit on the left hand by a pitch in the second inning, but X-rays came back negative. The 25-year-old felt well enough to enter the lineup Saturday against southpaw Robbie Ray. Jimenez is likely to see limited action while the Marlins' infield is mostly healthy.

De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two walks, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over Detroit.

De La Cruz's blast in the second inning extended Cincinnati's lead to 6-1. It was his third homer in the last four contests and ninth of the season, which is tied for fourth in MLB. De La Cruz has hit safely in 22 of 27 games and has yet to go consecutive games without getting on base.

Perdomo was removed from Saturday's game against the Padres due to a left ankle sprain.

Perdomo tweaked his left ankle while fielding a groundball in the seventh inning, and the injury was severe enough for him to leave the contest. He finished 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The shortstop should be considered day-to-day due to the ankle sprain, with Jose Fernandez and Ildemaro Vargas in line to see more starts at shortstop if Perdomo is to miss time.

Perdomo left during the seventh inning of Saturday's game against the Padres due to a left leg injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Perdomo appeared to sustain the injury while attempting to field a groundball in the top of the seventh inning, and he was removed from the game after consulting with trainers. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout prior to his exit, with Tim Tawa entering the game at first base while Ildemaro Vargas shifted over to shortstop. The Diamondbacks should have an update on Perdomo's injury once he's further evaluated.

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

Abrams isn't typically someone who sits down against left-handed starters, but the Nats will give the lefty-hitting infielder a break Saturday with lefty-throwing Noah Schultz on the bump for Chicago. Nasim Nunez will slide over to short as a result, opening up second base for Curtis Mead.

McLain went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 9-8 win over the Tigers.

McLain launched a pair of two-run homers in consecutive plate appearances -- in the fifth and seventh innings -- to bring the Reds back from an early 5-0 deficit. He emerged from an offensive malaise during Cincinnati's recently completed road trip, and McLain brought the offense home to Great American Ball Park on Friday. The second baseman has hit safely in five consecutive games, going 7-for-23 with four extra-base hits and five RBI.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Giants.

Lopez continues to have a hot bat -- he's 17-for-49 (.347) over his last 12 contests. He had three singles Friday, but he's logged six extra-base hits and eight RBI during his hot stretch. For the season, the shortstop is batting .330 with an .892 OPS, three home runs, 12 RBI, four stolen bases, 19 runs scored, five doubles and two triples over 25 games.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a triple, a hit-by-pitch, four total RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Swanson started the Cubs' comeback effort with a two-run triple in the seventh inning. He added a two-run homer in the ninth to put his team ahead for the first time in the game, and Corbin Martin was able to make that lead stand. Swanson is 5-for-17 with three extra-base hits and nine RBI over his last five games. For the season, the shortstop is batting .209 with an .802 OPS, six homers, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored, a double, a triple and a steal over 26 contests.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Friday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.

Turner took Grant Holmes deep in the third inning for his third long ball of the season. It was also the shortstop's first multi-walk game of the 2026 campaign, as his on-base percentage has now eclipsed the .300 mark. Turner is slashing a disappointing .229/.302/.362 across 116 plate appearances, with three homers, nine RBI, 15 runs scored, three stolen bases and an 11:22 BB:K.

Griffin went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and a steal in Friday's win over Milwaukee.

Griffin, who turned 20 years old Friday, bookended the scoring with his first big-league homer during the third inning and a two-run single in the eighth. The long ball ended an 0-for-11 skid, while the three-hit game is also the first of his MLB career. Griffin has yet to find his footing through his first 20 big-league games with a .214/.273/.314 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate, but he's shown flashes of his upside and should continue to get an extended look after inking a nine-year, $140 million extension earlier this month.
