Bibee (2-7) earned the win Friday against Detroit, giving up two earned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out eight batters across seven innings.

Bibee gave up solo homers to James Outman and Spencer Torkelson, but those ended up being the only hits he would allow en route to collecting his second consecutive win. The 27-year-old righty has now tallied six quality starts in his last seven outings and put up a 3.43 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 44.2 innings in that span. He'll look to keep building on the momentum he's gained during his next outing on the road against the Brewers.

Manzardo isn't in the Guardians' starting lineup Saturday versus the Tigers.

Manzardo will begin on the bench for the second time in Cleveland's past three games -- both against southpaw starters. He regularly sits against lefty hurlers, though his .885 OPS versus southpaws is significantly higher than his .674 OPS against righties. Regardless, Rhys Hoskins is starting at first base and Jose Ramirez is getting a turn at DH on Saturday against Detroit ace Tarik Skubal.

Kwan isn't in the starting lineup Saturday against Detroit.

The lefty-hitting Kwan will get a breather with the Tigers sending southpaw Tarik Skubal to the mound. Kwan has a meager .525 OPS against lefties this season as opposed to a .622 OPS versus righties, and he's been out of the lineup in two of the past three games -- both against southpaw starters.

Nimmo isn't in Texas' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

It's just a scheduled day off for Nimmo, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. The versatile Ezequiel Duran is shifting to right field in Nimmo's stead Saturday.

Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Young will move to the bench to begin Saturday's game after going 0-for-3 with a couple of strikeouts Friday. Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will form Washington's outfield unit while Young rests.

Seager (ribs/jaw) isn't in the starting lineup versus Boston on Saturday.

Seager was involved in a collision at home plate Thursday against Kansas City and will sit out a second straight game due to resulting injuries to his ribs and jaw. However, he's reportedly feeling better, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, and is considered day-to-day. Nicky Lopez is starting at shortstop Saturday in Seager's stead.

Ruiz isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

Ruiz went 0-for-3 during Friday's loss, snapping a five-game hitting streak, and will begin Saturday's contest on the bench while Drew Millas catches for starting pitcher Cade Cavalli.

Caissie isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Caissie will get a chance to regroup after going just 2-for-24 at the plate since the beginning of the month. While he sits, Heriberto Hernandez, Jakob Marsee and Kyle Stowers will start across Miami's outfield.

Texas recalled Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Freeman previously had a short stint with the Rangers in early June and got into one game, going 1-for-2 with a strikeout against St. Louis on June 3. He's now back with the big club to take the 26-man roster spot vacated by Evan Carter, who landed on the IL with an oblique strain. Freeman probably won't see everyday at-bats, but he's starting at second base Saturday and gives the Rangers a versatile option who can play multiple positions in both the infield and outfield.

Mack isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Mack will step out of the lineup Saturday after going 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts across his last two games. Liam Hicks will move behind the plate as a result, putting Otto Lopez in the DH spot and giving Leo Jimenez a start at third base.
