    Neto (hand) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    The 24-year-old will grab a seat on the bench for the second day in a row after injuring his hand on a swing Thursday. The newly promoted Denzer Guzman will start at shortstop in Neto's place.

  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Angels' Oswald Peraza: On bench Saturday

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sitting again Saturday

    Soderstrom (groin) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Soderstrom will sit down for a second consecutive game after experiencing tightness in his groin during Wednesday's contest. His absence will allow Carlos Cortes to pick up another start in left field for the A's.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Dubon will get a chance to rest his legs Saturday after going 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's blowout victory. His absence will move Jose Altuve to second base while Zach Cole starts in left field.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: Sitting Saturday

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

    Caglianone will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-15 with two RBI and a run scored across his last five games. His absence will give Carter Jensen a start as Kansas City's designated hitter while batting eighth.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Imaging comes back clean

    Imaging on Skubal's left side came back negative Saturday after he was removed in the fourth inning of Friday's 8-2 loss to the Marlins, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Manager A.J. Hinch said the team will continue to keep an eye on Skubal's side over the next several days, but the expectation is that he will be able to make his next start, which is expected to fall Thursday versus the Guardians. Before exiting Friday's outing with side tightness, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner endured one of his worst starts of the campaign, giving up four earned runs on four hits -- including two home runs -- while matching a season low with two strikeouts in 3.1 innings.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Absent from lineup

    Baldwin (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

    Baldwin was pulled from Friday's game due to a sore left hip, and he'll receive a day off to recover Saturday. Michael Taylor will fill the resulting void in center field and bat eighth.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Higashioka isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Higashioka will sit down for the second straight game Saturday after beginning September 3-for-22 with an RBI and two runs scored through seven games. Jonah Heim will fill in behind the dish and bat seventh.

  • Liam Hendriks RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Shut down from throwing

    The Red Sox pulled Hendriks (hip) off his throwing program Saturday after he experienced tightness in his forearm, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    A hip injury sent Hendriks to the injured list in late May, and now that he's been shut down from throwing, he'll almost certainly remain sidelined for the rest of the year. The 36-year-old righty will finish 2025 with a 6.59 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 13.2 innings.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Riding pine Saturday

    Stanton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Stanton will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts during Friday's series opener. Aaron Judge will work as New York's designated hitter while Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger form the outfield trio.
