Bauers is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Left-hander Ty Blach is taking the mound for Colorado, forcing the lefty-hitting Bauers to the bench. In his place, Gary Sanchez will DH and bat fourth.

The Marlins selected Sanoja's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Since earning a promotion to Triple-A in late April, Sanoja has slashed .294/.356/.438 with six homers and 59 RBI across 492 plate appearances with the Jumbo Shrimp. The 22-year-old's performance has earned him his first MLB call-up, and his ability to play in both the infield and outfield will help as he attempts to work his way into the starting lineup.

The Marlins selected Bermudez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Just four days after being sent outright to Jacksonville, Bermudez will now rejoin the active roster to give the Marlins an additional bullpen arm capable of handling multiple innings. The 28-year-old southpaw allowed two earned runs in 3.2 innings during his MLB debut Aug. 27 and will presumably be used in long relief again while with the Marlins. Austin Kitchen was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Marlins recalled Bachar from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Bachar was sent to Triple-A after being claimed off waivers from San Diego on Tuesday, and he'll now join the big-league squad after just four days with his new organization. The 29-year-old righty owns a 3.86 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 74.2 innings in the minors this season, and he'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

The Marlins recalled Soriano from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Soriano owns a 6.26 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 23 innings in the majors this season, but he'll be promoted nonetheless to give the Fish another fresh arm to use out of the bullpen. He'll most likely be used in low-leverage situations while with Miami.

The Marlins reinstated Bender (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Bender has been on the shelf since mid-August due to a right shoulder impingement, but he's been cleared to return to Miami's bullpen after allowing one run in three innings during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 29-year-old holds a 4.00 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 45 innings in the majors, though a lack of depth in the Marlins' bullpen has allowed him to work in several high-leverage situations.

Realmuto (knee) isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

Realmuto was taken out of Friday's contest after he fouled a ball off his left knee in the second inning. The team hasn't indicated that the 33-year-old will need to spend time on the injured list, though the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant a day off Saturday. Garrett Stubbs will catch for starting pitcher Aaron Nola.

The Cardinals optioned Leahy to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Leahy has turned in a 4.30 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 14.2 innings since being recalled from the minors in late-July, though he'll now be sent back to Triple-A after giving up three runs over 1.1 frames during Friday's loss. Chris Roycroft was recalled from Memphis in a corresponding move.

The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Since being optioned to Triple-A at the end of July, Roycroft has turned in a 2.60 ERA and 1.50 WHIP alongside a 19:6 K:BB through 17.1 innings. He'll now rejoin the Cardinals' bullpen to provide the big squad with a fresh arm, replacing Kyle Leahy.

Marte isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Marte will grab a seat on the bench after going 4-for-17 with two RBI across his last five games. While he rests, Brandon Nimmo, Harrison Bader and Jesse Winker will make up New York's outfield unit.
