    Tigers' Reese Olson: Gets through three innings

    Olson did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Orioles, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out three over three innings.

    Olson lasted 2.1 innings on 50 pitches in his first start back from a shoulder injury, so he improved upon that by getting through three frames on 58 pitches Saturday. Olson has a 3.49 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 108.1 innings this season. The 25-year-old will wrap up his sophomore season with a home start against the Rays next week.

  • Seth Brown LF | ATH

    Athletics' Seth Brown: Idle versus southpaw

    Brown isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against New York.

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Day off versus lefty

    Schuemann isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Resting against lefty

    Soderstrom isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    With left-hander Carlos Rodon set to start on the bump for New York, the lefty-hitting Soderstrom will stay put in Oakland's dugout to begin Saturday's contest. In his absence, Tyler Nevin will get the starting nod at first base and bat seventh.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Getting breather against LHP

    Chisholm isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

  • Juan Soto LF | NYM

    Yankees' Juan Soto: Returns to lineup

    Soto (knee) will start in right field and bat second Saturday against the Athletics.

    Soto injured his knee during Thursday's contest and was scratched from Friday's lineup due to lingering soreness, though he was able to enter as a pinch hitter and log an RBI double. He'll now return to the starting nine Saturday to face JP Sears.

    Benintendi isn't in Chicago's lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.
