Langford was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto due to left hamstring tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Langford has slashed .405/.457/.833 while logging a base hit in nine of the Rangers' last 10 games, but a hamstring issue will prevent him from continuing his hot streak Saturday. The severity of his injury is still unclear, but the team will likely provide more information in the near future.

Povich (elbow) made the second start of his rehab assignment for Double-A Chesapeake on Friday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

The 26-year-old left-hander also landed 44 of his 66 pitches for strikes. Povich is working his way back from nearly a two-month absence due to left elbow inflammation, but he could still be optioned to the minor leagues once activated from the injured list, especially if Dean Kremer (quadriceps) finishes his rehab assignment first.

Bohm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Bohm will get a chance to clear his head Saturday after going 0-for-12 across the Phillies' last three games. Edmundo Sosa will fill in at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Realmuto isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

After collecting a hit in three of Philadelphia's last four games, Realmuto will catch a breather Saturday while Rafael Marchan starts behind the plate, batting ninth.

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

Steer will step out of the lineup after going 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run and three strikeouts Friday. His absence will allow Noelvi Marte to start in right field while batting sixth.

Dunn (elbow) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Right elbow discomfort forced Dunn to make an early exit from Friday's game and will now cause him to miss at least one additional start. Manager Terry Francona said Saturday that the 27-year-old will likely head back to Cincinnati for further evaluation, after which the team will have a better idea of whether a trip to the IL will be necessary, per Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati. Dane Myers will start in center field and bat seventh Saturday.

McLain isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

McLain has gone just 1-for-16 with eight strikeouts over his last five starts, and he'll now move to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Edwin Arroyo will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

The Dodgers placed Ryan on Triple-A Oklahoma City's 7-day injured list Friday due to a hamstring strain, Fabian Ardaya and Katie Woo of The Athletic report.

According to Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes, Ryan suffered the hamstring injury during his last Triple-A start, when he gave up eight runs on 10 hits over 4.1 innings. Gomes described the issue as "not anything overly serious" and said Ryan will be able to keep throwing, but not off a mound. It's the second time the right-handed hurler has been placed on the minor-league IL due to a hamstring injury this season, as he missed over a month of action from mid-April to mid-May. When he's been healthy, Ryan has been quite good -- though he has a 4.46 ERA and 1.30 WHIP, that's come with a promising 43:8 K:BB over 36.1 innings spanning eight starts.

Kremer (quadriceps) made his second rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, giving up two hits and one walk in 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out eight.

The 30-year-old right-hander fired 50 of his 79 pitches for strikes. Kremer, who's recovering from a multi-month absence with a right quadriceps strain, appears firmly on track to rejoin the Orioles at some point in early July, which will likely force Trey Gibson from Baltimore's rotation.

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

Stephenson will catch a breather after going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored during Friday's series opener. Jose Trevino will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.
