  • Jonatan Clase CF | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jonatan Clase: Getting rest Saturday

    Clase isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

    After going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Friday's game, Clase will get a day off Saturday while Joey Loperfido starts in center field and bats ninth.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Not starting Saturday

    Jimenez isn't in Toronto's lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

    Jimenez will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-3 with a run scored during a blowout loss in Friday's series opener. While he rests, Davis Schneider will start at second base and bat eighth.

  • Mitch Haniger RF | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Haniger: On base twice in Friday's start

    Haniger, drawing his first start since Sept. 18, went 1-for-3 with a walk in a win over the Athletics on Friday.

    The veteran outfielder has been relegated to spot duty down the stretch, as Friday marked only his sixth turn with the starting nine since the calendar flipped to September. In his 2024 return to Seattle, Haniger hasn't been able to approximate the level of production he flashed during the height of his first Mariners tenure, and he's now gone 13 games without an extra-base hit.

  • Kyle McCann C | OAK

    Athletics' Kyle McCann: Draws rare start Friday

    McCann, drawing his first start since Sept. 15, went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Mariners on Friday.

    McCann had been limited to a trio of pinch-hit appearances since his last turn in the starting nine nearly two weeks prior. The rookie backstop's bat faded over the latter portion of the season after a hot start to his big-league career, but his nine extra-base hits, 15 RBI, 15 walks, 13 runs, .241 batting average and .700 OPS give him a foundation to build on going into his first offseason as a major-league player.

  • Beau Brieske RP | DET

    Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Saturday

    Brieske will open Saturday's game versus the White Sox.

    Brieske will make his 12th start of the year Saturday, and he carries a 4.91 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through 14.2 innings across his past 11 opening assignments. He'll likely only remain in the game for an inning or two before handing the game over to the Tigers' bullpen, though he has reached three frames twice this season.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Resting Saturday

    Sweeney isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game versus the White Sox.

    Sweeney will get a chance to clear his head during Saturday's contest after going just 1-for-14 with four strikeouts over his last four games. While he rests, Zach McKinstry will fill in as Detroit's shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Matt Vierling CF | DET

    Tigers' Matt Vierling: Idle Saturday

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

    Vierling has tallied a hit in each of his last three games, but he'll step out of the starting nine Saturday as Jace Jung gets the starting nod at third base and bats seventh.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Getting Saturday off

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

    After going 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's win, Rogers will turn catching duties over to Dillon Dingler for the penultimate game of the regular season.

  • Gavin Sheets RF | CHW

    White Sox's Gavin Sheets: Resting Saturday

    Sheets isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Detroit.

    Sheets will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-22 over his last seven contests. Meanwhile, Bryan Ramos will work as the designated hitter and bat sixth.

  • Luis Robert CF | CHW

    White Sox's Luis Robert: Out again Saturday

    Robert (ribs) isn't in Chicago's lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

    Soreness near Robert's rib cage prevented him from playing in Friday's game, and the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant another absence Saturday. While Robert rests, Andrew Benintendi, Dominic Fletcher and Zach DeLoach will form Chicago's outfield trio.
