Gonzalez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez will stay put in the dugout Saturday following the Red Sox's postseason-clinching victory Friday. Nick Sogard will fill in as Boston's second baseman and bat ninth.

Taylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Taylor will step out of the starting nine for a second consecutive game after going 1-for-15 over his last eight contests. Brooks Baldwin, Derek Hill and Dominic Fletcher will form Chicago's outfield trio with Taylor on the bench.

The Orioles recalled Ragsdale from the Florida Complex League on Saturday.

After being claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Thursday, Ragsdale will now rejoin the Orioles to give the big club an extra reliever for the final two games of the regular season. The 27-year-old has only one MLB appearance under his belt, during which he coughed up eight earned runs over three innings.

The Orioles optioned Povich to the Florida Complex League on Saturday.

Povich made his final start of the season Thursday and will finish his second MLB season with a 5.21 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 112.1 innings spanning 22 appearances. He'll now head to the Orioles' spring training facility to finish up his regular-season duties, and the team will bring up Carson Ragsdale to provide extra bullpen depth.

Lowe isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Lowe will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk during a loss in Friday's series opener. While he rests, Christopher Morel, Chandler Simpson and Jake Mangum will start across Tampa Bay's outfield.

Beavers (shin) will start in left field and bat fifth against the Yankees on Saturday.

Beavers was forced out of Friday's game after he fouled a ball off his right shin, but he won't have to miss a start due to the incident. The 24-year-old has begun his MLB career on a high note since joining the big club in mid-August, slashing .240/.383/.423 across 129 plate appearances.

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

Rutschman has gone just 1-for-11 in four games since returning from the injured list, and he'll now receive a day off while Samuel Basallo starts behind the plate and bats eighth.

Robles was scratched from Friday's lineup due to a minor shoulder issue, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Robles missed most of the season after dislocating his left shoulder April 6, and with the Mariners locking up the AL West, they opted to give him at least one day off to rest in advance of the postseason. He should be considered day-to-day.

Santander isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Santander will get a breather after going 1-for-8 with four strikeouts in three games since returning from the injured list. Davis Schneider will fill the resulting void in left field and bat fifth.

Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

The veteran outfielder slumped in the middle of September, but Arozarena appears to be pulling himself out of it ahead of the playoffs, going 6-for-21 (.286) over his last five games, although his homer drought now stands at 15 contests. On the season, he has a career-high 27 long balls, and Friday's steal was his 30th -- the second time in his career he's reached that plateau, after he swiped 32 in 2022.
