Rafaela (quadriceps) is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Rafaela will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game while tending to quadriceps soreness, but he could be available off the bench for Saturday's AL East clash. Eli White will once again draw the start in center field and bat eighth.

The lefty-swinging Salas will retreat to the bench for a second consecutive game while the Padres take on a tough southpaw in Carlos Rodon. Freddy Fermin will start at catcher and bat seventh.

Clark is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

Clark will get a breather after playing in both games of Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland, when he went 3-for-8 with two RBI and a steal. The Tigers will start Riley Greene, Zach McKinstry and Ben Malgeri in the outfield Saturday from left to right.

Lowe isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

The Pirates will get Lowe a breather Saturday while they face left-handed starter Yusei Kikuchi. Nick Gonzales will slide over to second base as a result, giving Jared Triolo a start at third.

Lee (lower leg) is starting at third base and batting second against the Guardians on Saturday.

Lee left the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland due to a left shin contusion, but he's been cleared to play in Saturday's AL Central clash. Lee has gone 5-for-18 (.278) with one home run, four RBI, three runs scored and six strikeouts over his last five outings.

McGonigle is not in Detroit's starting lineup against Cleveland on Saturday.

Loftin is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Dominguez was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Dominguez was sent down to Triple-A after the Yankees acquired Heliot Ramos from the Giants in early August, but the former is back with the big club after Trent Grisham (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Dominguez has appeared in 53 major-league games this year, slashing .230/.270/.380 with seven steals, six home runs, 14 RBI and 21 runs scored across 211 plate appearances. He should see some playing time in the outfield, though he figures to operate in a depth role behind Ramos, Spencer Jones and Cody Bellinger.
