Goodman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's loss to the Tigers.

Goodman put the game's first runs on the board with a three-run blast to left field in the third inning. That was his only hit of the game, and the All-Star backstop still hasn't logged a multi-hit performance since Aug. 28. Goodman has slowed down a bit in the power department of late, going deep just twice over his past 15 games. However, he still leads all backstops with 38 long balls, which is also tied for fourth overall in MLB.

Caissie was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right hamstring tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 24-year-old walked and scored in the bottom of the second inning, but Esteury Ruiz then hit for Caissie the following frame. He dealt with a right calf injury earlier in the season, though the injuries seem unlikely to be related. Caissie is slashing .220/.288/.412 with 14 home runs, 58 RBI, 45 runs scored and a 27:123 BB:K across 330 plate appearances in his first season with the Marlins.

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

White has notched a hit in back-to-back games, but the A's will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Jeff McNeil will shift to first base to cover for White, opening up the keystone for Donovan Walton.

Lee went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a triple, a walk, two runs and three RBI in an 11-7 win against the Rockies on Saturday.

Lee was one of three Tigers to log a trio of hits, and all three of those knocks went for extra bases. The infielder drove in a run with a double in the fourth inning and added a clutch two-run, two-out triple in the eighth. Lee was in need of a strong performance, as he'd gone 1-for-17 with nine strikeouts (albeit with six walks) over his previous six games. He's started three of Detroit's past five contests.

Romano blew a save against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks over one inning.

Colorado held a 7-4 lead heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, but the Rockies' bullpen couldn't hold the advantage. Jaden Hill allowed five straight batters to reach base without getting an out, and Romano couldn't do much better, walking the first two batters he faced before giving up a two-out, two-run triple. The veteran reliever had a stretch of nine appearances without giving up an earned run from mid-August to early September, but over his past three outings he's blown two saves while giving up four earned runs across 2.2 frames. Colorado doesn't have many reliable options in its bullpen, so Romano probably isn't in imminent danger of losing his closer role.

Arquette (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Pensacola on Saturday.

It's Arquette's third trip to the injured list this season after previously dealing with a thumb injury and undergoing core muscle surgery earlier in the campaign. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 Draft, Arquette has slashed .272/.326/.459 with 12 homers, 48 RBI, 44 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and an 18:62 BB:K across 291 plate appearances between High-A and Double-A this season.

Carter isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Carter will take a day to reset after going 0-for-7 with a pair of walks and four strikeouts over Texas' last three games. Ezequiel Duran will start in center field while Carter sits, allowing Nicky Lopez to start at second base while Josh Jung (calf) returns from the IL to cover third.

Gordon allowed four runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out five batters over four innings in a no-decision against Detroit on Saturday.

Of the Tigers' 10 hits against Gordon, four -- including a Kevin McGonigle solo homer -- went for extra bases. It was the second time this season the righty hurler has surrendered double-digit hits and the ninth time he's yielded at least four earned runs. Gordon had a promising two-start stretch to end August during which he gave up just two runs over 12 innings, but since then he's allowed nine runs across his subsequent two outings spanning 8.2 frames. He'll carry a season-long 5.55 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively slated to be a matchup versus San Diego at Coors Field.

The Rangers optioned O'Hoppe to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Since joining the Rangers on Aug. 23, O'Hoppe has gone 6-for-17 with an RBI and five runs scored across 10 games. Despite making the most of his limited opportunities, he'll be squeezed off the Rangers' bench to make room on the active roster for Josh Jung (calf), who returned from the injured list Saturday. O'Hoppe is likely to play out the remainder of the season at Triple-A.

The Rangers optioned Macko to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Macko has coughed up seven runs (six earned) in just 6.2 innings since joining the big club Aug. 28. His poor performance will end up costing him a spot in the Rangers' bullpen as the team makes room for Nathan Eovaldi's (elbow) return from the injured list.
