-
Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Idle against southpaw
Stott is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Andres Chaparro 1B | WAS
Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Idle Saturday
Chaparro is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.
Chaparro is 3-for-32 (.094) in his last nine games and will get the day off Saturday to clear his head. Luis Garcia will fill in at DH while Jose Tena plays the keystone.
-
Jacob Young CF | WAS
Nationals' Jacob Young: Absent from lineup again
Young (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.
Young will miss a second straight game due to pain in his non-throwing shoulder. The center fielder didn't sustain any structural damage and can be considered day-to-day moving forward. Dylan Crews will take over in center field Saturday.
-
Jesse Winker DH | NYM
Mets' Jesse Winker: Sitting versus southpaw
Winker isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.
With left-hander Ranger Suarez set to toe the slab for Philadelphia, the lefty-hitting Winker will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Brandon Nimmo, Harrison Bader and Tyrone Taylor will start across the outfield instead.
-
Luis Garcia 1B | NYY
Nationals' Luis Garcia: At DH Saturday
Garcia (wrist) will DH and bat third Saturday against the Cubs.
Garcia missed back-to-back games with soreness in his right wrist, but he'll return to the starting nine Saturday. Considering the pain is in his throwing arm, the Nationals could give Garcia a couple of days at DH before having him return to the field. Jose Tena is playing second base.
-
Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Still out Saturday
Lindor (back) isn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday versus the Phillies.
Lindor will be missing his sixth straight start Saturday as a result of the back injury he suffered last week. He went through a full workout ahead of Friday's contest, but the 30-year-old seemingly still has a few boxes to check off before returning to the starting nine. Luisangel Acuna will pick up a start at shortstop and bat ninth while Lindor sits.
-
Andrew McCutchen DH | TEX
Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Out of lineup Saturday
McCutchen is absent from the starting nine Saturday at Cincinnati.
The 37-year-old will give way to Oneil Cruz at DH on Saturday while Billy Cook slides to center field. McCutchen is 9-for-32 (.281) with a pair of home runs over his last nine games.
-
Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL
Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Idle against RHP
Tellez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.
The lefty-hitting Tellez will be on the bench for the fifth time in the last 10 games despite Pittsburgh facing a right-hander in Rhett Lowder. Tellez is 2-for-25 (.080) in his last nine games.
