Osuna isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego.

Osuna has gone 4-for-16 with two RBI and three runs scored while starting five consecutive games in the Rangers' outfield, but he'll retreat to the bench Saturday while Jarred Kelenic starts in left field, batting sixth.

DeLuca isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Santos (adductor) allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out one over one inning during the ACL Giants' 7-4 loss to the ACL Athletics in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Friday.

Triple-A Sacramento placed Santos on its 7-day injured list May 26 with a right adductor strain, and he returned to action in Arizona. The 26-year-old right-hander gave up two singles while throwing 16 of his 20 pitches for strikes. He has spent most of the season at Triple-A, where he owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 14 innings in 12 appearances.

Schmitt went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Schmitt singled in the second inning and added an RBI single in the sixth. The 27-year-old has recorded two hits in four straight games and is now batting .264 with six runs scored, six RBI, three home runs and two stolen bases over 74 plate appearances in June. Overall, he's slashing .286/.316/.509 with 39 RBI, 33 runs scored, 15 long balls and seven stolen bases across 285 plate appearances on the year.

Pinango isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Pinango will retreat to the bench Saturday following his 0-for-4 performance Friday that included a pair of strikeouts. While he sits, Myles Straw, Daulton Varsho and Nathan Lukes will form Toronto's outfield trio.

Lee went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Lee singled and stole second in the third inning before lining a double and coming around to score in the sixth. The 27-year-old outfielder has cooled off recently, batting .227 in 23 plate appearances over his last six games. However, he's still slashing .403/.415/.516 with 13 runs scored, seven RBI, four stolen bases and a home run across 65 plate appearances in June.

Clement (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Clement will miss a second consecutive start Saturday due to hip soreness. The 30-year-old had been playing through his injury for a while prior to sitting out Friday's game, though he may have to spend time on the injured list if he doesn't rejoin the lineup within the next couple of days. Davis Schneider will start at second base and bat seventh Saturday.

Guerrero (back) will start at first base and bat third Saturday against the Cubs.

Guerrero was forced out of Friday's game early due to a back injury, but it won't prevent him from missing a start. The 27-year-old has been trending downward since the beginning of June, slashing just .189/.241/.302 with six RBI and five runs scored across 14 games this month.
