Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Young will retreat to the dugout Saturday after going 1-for-4 with two walks, an RBI and two runs scored during Friday's blowout victory. Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will start across the outfield while Young sits.

Mead isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Mead will get a chance to catch his breath after beginning the second half by going 4-for-6 with three doubles, three RBI and four runs scored during Friday's 23-4 rout. Jorbit Vivas will pick up a start at third base as a result and bat eighth.

Luzardo (9-4) earned the win against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Luzardo surrendered a solo homer during the second inning but otherwise kept the Mets off the board despite lacking his best stuff, throwing 54 of 90 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. The southpaw has yielded just seven earned runs over his past seven starts while going 5-0 with 63 punchouts during that stretch. He owns a 3.43 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 143:37 K:BB across 115.1 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Yankees next weekend.

Manaea (2-5) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Manaea surrendered three of his four runs via the long ball, departing at 99 pitches without escaping the fifth inning. It marked the first time the 34-year-old had yielded more than three earned runs in seven turns since entering the rotation June 13, though he's now allowed two homers in three straight outings. He'll take a 4.74 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 81:26 K:BB across 79.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Dodgers next weekend.

McCarthy went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a steal during the Rockies' 10-3 win over the Reds on Saturday.

McCarthy extended his hitting streak to five games Saturday, and his on-base streak now sits at 13. He also collected his 17th steal of the season, which leads the Rockies and is tied for 12th most in the National League. McCarthy is slashing .303/.349/.516 with 10 home runs and 55 RBI across 316 plate appearances this season.

Gonzalez isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Gonzalez will get a chance to rest his legs after launching his first homer as a Pirate in the early game as part of a 2-for-4 effort. While he sits, Jared Triolo will get the nod at shortstop.

Davis isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

Davis went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's matinee and will now get a chance to rest his legs during the nightcap. Rafael Flores will fill in behind the plate and bat eighth.

Rumfield went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI during Saturday's 10-3 win over the Reds.

Rumfield hit RBI singles in both the first and second innings before belting a two-run homer in the sixth to extend the Rockies' lead to 10-2. His four hits and four RBI were both career highs, and Saturday was the 28th multi-hit game of the season for the 26-year-old first baseman. Rumfield is slashing .302/.384/.485 with 13 home runs and 51 RBI across 393 plate appearances this season.

Sugano (9-4) earned the win against the Reds on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out three across 6.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

Sugano was activated from the 15-day IL ahead of Saturday's start after recovering from back spasms that flared up in early July. There was less pressure on his shoulders after the Rockies' offense lit up Rhett Lowder for eight runs, and Sugano did his part by limiting the Reds to three runs, with two of those coming on a pair of solo homers by Jose Trevino. It was the fifth quality start of the season for Sugano, and he's now one win shy from matching his total in 2025 as a member of the Orioles. He'll take a 4.76 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 90.2 innings into his next start, tentatively lined up for next weekend on the road against the Brewers.

Trevino went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs during the Reds' 10-3 loss to the Rockies on Saturday.

The Reds could not match the offensive output of the Rockies on Saturday, but Trevino did his part with solo homers in both the third and fifth innings. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for the veteran catcher and the third of his major-league career, with the last instance taking place May 12, 2024 against the Rays while playing for the Yankees. Trevino has a .715 OPS with three home runs and 10 RBI across 74 plate appearances this season.
