Moore isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moore will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's contest. His absence will move Vaughn Grissom to second base and Moises Ballesteros to first, allowing Tyler Heineman to start at catcher.

Tolle no longer appears in line for a start this weekend in Tampa Bay, as the Red Sox are listing Patrick Sandoval as their probable starter for Sunday's game.

As Rob Bradford of WEEI.com points out, Boston appears to be lining Tolle up to start Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series. It's a tough blow for Tolle's fantasy managers, as they will take a zero from the lefty this week. He struck out seven over six scoreless innings against Kansas City in his last start Sept. 13, lowering his ERA to 3.02 over 143 innings this season.

Jobe (2-3) allowed three runs on four hits across six innings to take the loss in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to the White Sox. He walked one and struck out nine.

After registering a career-high eight strikeouts in his last outing, Jobe wasted little time setting a new high-water mark. The young righty simply didn't receive enough run support and was outdueled by Chicago's Sean Burke, but it was still another promising outing. Jobe has mostly looked good since making his season debut in August following about a year on the shelf due to Tommy John surgery, and he now has a 3.98 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 43 strikeouts across 40.2 innings this season. The 24-year-old is scheduled to make one more 2026 start against the Pirates, and then he'll turn his attention toward 2027, which could be a breakout campaign now that Jobe is fully healthy and starting to figure things out at the MLB level.

The Rangers recalled Macko from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Macko was sent down to the minors last Saturday but will be invited back into the Rangers' bullpen to make up for the loss of Michel Otanez (illness). Macko has turned in a 5.65 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 28.2 innings in the majors this season and will almost certainly be limited to low-leverage work.

The Rangers placed Otanez on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Friday, due to a viral illness.

Otanez was recalled from Triple-A on Friday, but he won't be able to pitch in the regular season now that he's landed on the injured list. He will be replaced in Texas' bullpen by Adam Macko.

Jones, who is out of the lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, said he is dealing with a sore left foot/heel, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Jones didn't seem to be overly concerned about his foot, but the Yankees will err on the side of caution and give him the day off so he can recover. While he sits, Jose Caballero will patrol center field Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Okert (hamstring) will not return from the injured list before the end of the regular season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Okert has been dealing with a hamstring strain since Sept. 4 and isn't scheduled to resume throwing off a mound until next week. He'll then require additional bullpen sessions and PFP drills before being cleared to return, and there simply won't be enough time to squeeze all of that in before the regular season ends Sept. 27. The door is still open for him to return at some point during the postseason, if the Astros secure a spot.

Jones isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

Jones will get a day off after going just 1-for-19 with nine strikeouts over his last four games. Jose Caballero will take over as New York's center fielder and bat ninth.

Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game against the Orioles, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Yesavage has been out since August after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, and although he made just one rehab appearance at Triple-A Buffalo that lasted two-thirds of an inning, he's been cleared to help the Jays cross the finish line of the 2026 season. His first start back isn't expected to last very long, however, as the Blue Jays are hoping to get roughly three innings out of him (45-to-50 pitches) before handing the ball to Spencer Miles. Yesavage will then be tentatively lined up to make one final start next weekend against the Reds, during which he could have a larger workload.

Trammell isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Trammell will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during the series opener Friday. LaMonte Wade will replace him as Houston's left fielder and bat ninth.
