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.

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

Griffin went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a hit-by-pitch during his first game back from the injured list Friday, but he'll take a seat Saturday while the Pirates look to manage his workload. Jared Triolo will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.

Teel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

After going 2-for-5 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's blowout victory, Teel will grab a seat on the bench while Drew Romo starts behind the plate, batting ninth.

Springer (personal) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.

Although no official roster move has been made just yet, Springer is expected to be away from the team for the weekend while on paternity leave. Vladimir Guerrero will fill in as Toronto's designated hitter with Springer out, opening up first base for Sean Keys.
