Neto was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers with left calf tightness.

Neto slid to field a ball at shortstop and fell back to the ground in pain after attempting to get up and throw the ball. Encouragingly, Neto was able to walk off the field unassisted and it's expected he'll be evaluated during Sunday's team day off. Luis Guillorme will slide to shortstop while Michael Stefanic enters at second base.

Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Schneemann has hit both of his home runs this season over his last five games. The 26-year-old continues to find ways into the lineup -- he's hitting .297 with a .990 OPS over 45 plate appearances since he was called up June 2. He's primarily seen time in center field and at third base and shortstop, and his defensive versatility should help him continue to carve out decent playing time, though he's unlikely to get a majority of the reps at any one position.

Sosa was diagnosed with a left elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch in the fifth inning of Saturday's 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks, Brooke Destra of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Though X-rays have cleared Sosa of a serious injury, he should be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale. He went 0-for-1 with a run scored prior to exiting.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Cubs.

The veteran shortstop led off the first and fourth innings with doubles as the Mets' offense erupted once again in an 11-1 rout. It's Lindor's sixth multi-hit performance in June, and on the month he's slashing .294/.364/.529 with seven doubles, three homers, four steals, eight RBI and 15 runs in 17 contests.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's extra-inning win over the Mariners.

The veteran shortstop ripped a walk-off single into left field off Austin Voth in the bottom of the 10th inning, although the Marlins got a bit lucky when Cal Raleigh couldn't come up with the throw to the plate, allowing Jake Burger to score. Anderson has been red hot of late, batting .405 (17-for-42) with seven multi-hit performances in the last 10 games, but he still carries a feeble .232/.257/.246 slash line on the season.

Martinez went 1-for-3 in Friday's loss to the Guardians.

Getting his first career MLB start while batting eighth as the second baseman, Martinez poked a single up the middle to lead off the sixth inning for his first career hit, but the rest the Toronto offense failed to bring him around to score. The 22-year-old also committed his first career error, and defense remains the biggest obstacle between him and a regular spot in the lineup. Martinez seems likely to head back to Triple-A Buffalo once Bo Bichette (calf) gets healthy, but if the Blue Jays become sellers at the trade deadline, a permanent spot could open up in the majors for the top prospect.

The Giants returned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Fitzgerald served as the Giants' 27th man for Thursday's game at Rickwood Field, and he'll now head back to the minors without logging a plate appearance. The 26-year-old has slashed .346/.448/.808 in 13 Triple-A games and would be a candidate to return to San Francisco if the Giants run into depth issues.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Marlins on Friday.

The veteran shortstop hit safely for the third time in the last four games while also posting his second stolen base of the season, with the first having come back on May 30. Crawford's modest recent success aside, he mostly remains mired in a season-long funk -- his current .207 average and .299 OBP are both career lows, while his 21.2 percent strikeout rate is his highest since 2018.

Bliss went 3-for-3 with an RBI triple in an extra-inning loss to the Marlins on Friday. He also was caught stealing on his only attempt.

The rookie had his best night in the majors yet, posting his first multi-hit effort and first triple at the big-league level. Bliss was also caught stealing for the first time in five attempts, but this effort gave his batting average and OPS respective 59- and 145-point boosts to .238 and .700.

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

McKinstry has gone 0-for-18 with eight strikeouts in his last six contests, and he'll now sit down for the second game in a row Saturday. Ryan Kreidler will pick up another start at shortstop, batting ninth.
