Yamamoto (7-4) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and no walks while striking out seven batters over 8.1 innings.

Yamamoto was nearly untouchable Saturday, and he didn't allow a baserunner until Mookie Betts committed an error on a grounder with two outs in the eighth inning. The right-handed hurler still had a chance at a no-hitter, but that ended when Tristan Peters clubbed a solo shot leading off the bottom of the ninth. Though he had to settle for a dominant victory, Yamamoto did end up in the Dodgers' history book by retiring 45 consecutive batters dating back to his previous start -- a run exceeded in MLB history only by Yusmeiro Petit, who set down 46 straight hitters for the Giants in 2014. Yamamoto also recorded his fourth consecutive victory, and he hasn't allowed more than one run in five straight starts. On the season, the reigning World Series MVP has a standout 2.52 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 80:15 K:BB over 85.2 innings spanning 13 starts.

Glasnow (back) is "beginning to feel better," and he may be able to resume playing catch soon, per MLB.com.

Glasnow last pitched May 6, when he exited a start against Houston after one inning due to lower-back pain. Though he initially deemed the injury minor, the veteran hurler was ultimately placed on the injured list. Glasnow has tried to ramp up his throwing since then, but a slow recovery has resulted in him being shut down on multiple occasions, and he was placed on the 60-day IL on June 6. Though it sounds like Glasnow is beginning to improve, he's not expected to return to the Dodgers' rotation until sometime after the All-Star break.

Pivetta (forearm) progressed to throwing from 90 feet with some intensity June 10, per MLB.com.

Pivetta has been on the shelf due to a right flexor strain since mid-April. He resumed a throwing program by playing catch May 29 and has since ramped up his throwing distance and intensity, though he's yet to get back on a mound. Pivetta still has several obstacles to clear and isn't likely to return to the Padres' rotation until sometime after the All-Star break.

Campusano (toe) continues to rehab in Arizona but hasn't yet been scheduled for a minor-league rehab assignment, per MLB.com.

Campusano has now been out over a month after fracturing a toe on his left foot in early May. The backstop has been catching pitches and swinging pain-free since late May, but San Diego hasn't yet sent him out on a rehab assignment. Fellow backstop Freddy Fermin exited Saturday's contest against Baltimore after being hit by a warmup pitch near the back of the head, so the only healthy catcher on San Diego's 26-man roster at the moment is Rodolfo Duran.

Bogaerts was hit in the head by a pitch during Saturday's win over the Orioles and ultimately left the game, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts took a 93.5-mph sinker from Trey Gibson off his helmet in the top of the fifth inning and subsequently went down on his hands and knees. He was able to stay in the game and eventually came around to score on a sacrifice fly, but the veteran shortstop was then switched out on defense in the bottom of the sixth frame. Manager Craig Stammen said after the victory that Bogaerts was initially feeling fine but then "started not feeling as good" before he was pulled, per 97.3 The Fan. Stammen added that the team will evaluate Bogaerts throughout the remainder of the day and night, which will help determine if he'll be able to play Sunday.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco.

Kelly will ride the bench for the third time in the past five games. The 31-year-old has slugged .277/.355/.367 with three homers in 186 plate appearances this season. Miguel Amaya will take over catching duties and bat eighth Saturday.

Tovar (lower leg) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Tovar was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Friday's game due to soreness in his lower left leg, and he'll need at least one more day off Saturday before returning to action. Willi Castro will pick up another start at shortstop while Edouard Julien mans the keystone.

McCarthy (illness) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Saturday will mark the fourth consecutive game that McCarthy has missed while recovering from an illness. The Rockies haven't yet suggested that he will have to spend time on the injured list, though that could become an option if he isn't able to return soon. Sterlin Thompson, Cole Carrigg and Troy Johnston will form Colorado's outfield trio Saturday.

Susac isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Susac will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's loss. Eric Haase will take over as the Giants' backstop and bat ninth.

Rojas was removed from Saturday's game against the White Sox with an apparent injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Rojas appeared to be bothered by something during his plate appearance in the seventh inning and was lifted for a pinch runner after drawing a walk. It's unclear what exactly the veteran infielder is dealing with, but the Dodgers should provide more details in the near future.
