Lee (lower leg) is starting at third base and batting second against the Guardians on Saturday.

Lee left the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland due to a left shin contusion, but he's been cleared to play in Saturday's AL Central clash. Lee has gone 5-for-18 (.278) with one home run, four RBI, three runs scored and six strikeouts over his last five outings.

McGonigle is not in Detroit's starting lineup against Cleveland on Saturday.

McGonigle will have the day off after going 3-for-9 with an RBI during Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians. Hao-Yu Lee will draw the start at the hot corner and bat second while McGonigle is on the bench.

Isbel is not in Kansas City's starting lineup against Toronto on Saturday.

John Rave will draw the start in center field and bat seventh while Isaac Collins and Jac Caglianone man left and right field, respectively. Isbel has gone 7-for-34 (.206) with one steal, four RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 outings.

Loftin is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Loftin will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 9-2 loss to Toronto. With Loftin opening Saturday's game on the bench, Josh Rojas will draw the start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Dominguez was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Dominguez was sent down to Triple-A after the Yankees acquired Heliot Ramos from the Giants in early August, but the former is back with the big club after Trent Grisham (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Dominguez has appeared in 53 major-league games this year, slashing .230/.270/.380 with seven steals, six home runs, 14 RBI and 21 runs scored across 211 plate appearances. He should see some playing time in the outfield, though he figures to operate in a depth role behind Ramos, Spencer Jones and Cody Bellinger.

The Yankees placed Grisham on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right hamstring strain.

Grisham tweaked his right hamstring during Friday's game against the Padres. The injury is severe enough for the veteran outfielder to go on the IL, and the Yankees are hopeful that he'll be back with the big club before the regular season is complete. Jasson Dominguez was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move, and Spencer Jones could see a bump in playing time in center field against right-handed pitching for as long as Grisham is sidelined.

Diaz is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Rays on Saturday.

Diaz will get a breather after going 4-for-13 with one home run, five RBI and two runs scored across his four prior outings. Danny Jansen will start behind home plate Saturday and bat ninth while catching Jacob deGrom.

Bailey is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Bailey will be on the bench for Saturday's game while Austin Hedges starts behind home plate and bats eighth, forming a battery with southpaw Parker Messick. Bailey has gone 14-for-58 (.241) with one steal, three home runs and 12 RBI since Aug. 1.

Martinez (shoulder) is starting in right field and batting second against the Tigers on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Martinez sustained a left shoulder bruise during the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Detroit when he collided with Brayan Rocchio. The injury doesn't appear to be a major concern, as Martinez is in the lineup for Saturday's contest. He has gone 8-for-26 with one steal, two home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over his last nine games.

DeLauter (wrist) is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

DeLauter suffered a right wrist sprain during the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Detroit. He's considered day-to-day, but it's uncertain if he will be back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Angel Martinez (shoulder) will start in right field while Jo Adell serves as the Guardians' designated hitter.
