  • Phillies' Justin Crawford: Scratched from Saturday's lineup

    Crawford was scratched from the Phillies' lineup against the Marlins on Saturday due to a migraine, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Crawford was initially slated to start in center field Saturday, but the Phillies will instead go with Garrett Stubbs, Adolis Garcia and Felix Reyes from left to right. Crawford will aim to return for Sunday's matinee.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Feels fine after Friday's exit

    Misiorowski participated in running drills Saturday and said afterward that his right hamstring felt "normal and fine," Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Misiorowski exited in the sixth inning of his start in Friday's victory over the Nationals due to right hamstring cramping, but he still came away with his second win of the season after yielding zero hits or runs while issuing two walks and striking out eight batters. The Brewers will monitor Misiorowski's injury closely over the coming days, but for now, he's slated to start Wednesday on the road against the Cardinals.

  • Nationals' Orlando Ribalta: Back with big club

    The Nationals recalled Ribalta from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

    Ribalta has pitched well in the minors this season, boasting a 2.25 ERA and 0.88 WHIP across eight innings with a 7:3 K:BB. He last saw major-league action April 17, when he earned the save against the Pirates after tossing a scoreless ninth inning. Cionel Perez was outrighted to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

    Nationals' Cionel Perez: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Perez cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

    Perez was removed from the 40-man roster after Friday's outing against the Brewers, when he allowed two hits across two scoreless innings. He has a shaky 6.19 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 16 innings this season and will look to get his command and control in order in Triple-A. Orlando Ribalta was recalled by the Nationals from Rochester in a corresponding move.

  • Owen Caissie RF | MIA

    Marlins' Owen Caissie: Scratched with illness

    Cassie was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Phillies due to an illness, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    With Cassie not feeling well, the Marlins will start Esteury Ruiz, Jakob Marsee and Kyle Stowers in the outfield from left to right for Saturday's contest. Cassie has struggled at the plate since mid-April, having gone 6-for-45 (.133) with three RBI and a 47.9 percent strikeout rate over his last 15 games.

  • Tyler Black 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Tyler Black: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Black is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Nationals on Saturday.

    The Nationals are sending southpaw Foster Griffin to the mound for Saturday's contest, so the lefty-hitting Black will be on the bench for the start of the game while Gary Sanchez serves as the Brewers' designated hitter and bats out of the cleanup spot. Black has gone 9-for-21 (.429) with four doubles and seven RBI since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville in late April.

  • Brandon Marsh LF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Absent from Saturday's lineup

    Marsh (elbow) is not in the Phillies' starting lineup against the Marlins on Saturday.

    Marsh is dealing with a bruised right elbow that he picked up during Friday's game against Miami. The injury will keep him out of the lineup for Saturday's contest, but he could be back in the outfield for Sunday's matinee. Felix Reyes will start in left field Saturday and bat ninth.

  • Padres' Griffin Canning: Could make 2026 debut Sunday

    Canning (Achilles) could be activated from the 15-day injured list and debut for the Padres on Sunday against the White Sox, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

    Canning is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn left Achilles that he suffered in June of 2025. He looked good in his last rehab outing with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday, when he tossed 68 pitches and allowed one unearned run on three hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings.

  • Dylan Moore 1B | PHI

    Phillies' Dylan Moore: DFA'd by Philadelphia

    The Phillies designated Moore for assignment Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    The move corresponds with the Phillies activating J.T. Realmuto (back) from the 10-day injured list. Moore signed a major-league deal with the Phillies in March after initially triggering an opt-out clause in the minor-league contract he signed with the team. He served mostly in a reserve role for the Phillies and has yet to record a hit across 15 plate appearances this season. It remains to be seen whether Moore opts to stick around in the minors or explore his options elsewhere in free agency, assuming he does not get claimed off waivers.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Activated, starting Saturday

    The Phillies activated Realmuto (back) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Realmuto landed on the 10-day injured list in late April due to back spasms, but he has been given the green light to return following a minimum stay on the IL. Dylan Moore was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, meaning the Phillies will carry three catchers on the 26-man roster in Realmuto, Rafael Marchan and Garrett Stubbs. Realmuto is slashing .259/.344/.352 with one home run and five RBI across 61 plate appearances this season, and he will start behind home plate and bat seventh against Miami on Saturday.
