Mariners' Victor Robles: Sitting again Saturday
Robles (shoulder) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Dodgers.
Robles' left shoulder prevented him from playing in Friday's contest, and the Mariners will now give him another day to recover with the postseason quickly approaching. Dominic Canzone will start in right field while Robles sits, moving Cal Raleigh into the DH spot and Harry Ford into the lineup as Seattle's catcher.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Taking seat Saturday
Crawford isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
Crawford will get a breather Saturday after going 3-for-14 with a homer, four RBI and three runs scored across his last five games. Leo Rivas will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Crawford's stead.

Jacob Latz RP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob Latz: Making start Saturday
Latz is slated to start Saturday's game against the Guardians in Cleveland.
With the Rangers recently welcoming Tyler Mahle back from the injured list, Latz had shifted to the bullpen following his most recent start Sept. 14 against the Mets. He has since made a pair of relief appearances, but Latz will be back in a starting role as the season winds down while the Rangers having shifted to a six-man rotation since being eliminated from playoff contention. Through 32 appearances (seven starts) on the campaign, Latz has gone 2-0 with a 2.80 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 70:37 K:BB in 80.1 innings.

Josh Naylor 1B | SEA
Mariners' Josh Naylor: Sitting Saturday
Naylor (groin) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
Naylor's groin tightened up on him while he collected his 30th steal of the season Friday, and he'll remain out for at least one more game Saturday. His absence will open up first base for Luke Raley, who will bat seventh against right-hander Tyler Glasnow.

Freddy Peralta SP | TB
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Set for light workload Sunday
Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested Friday that Peralta will be on a limited pitch count in his final start of the regular season Sunday versus the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Heading into play Saturday, the Brewers sit one game ahead of the Phillies for the best record in baseball and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Even if the Brewers drop Saturday's game against Cincinnati to leave something at stake Sunday, Murphy seems inclined to prioritize easing up on Peralta's workload heading into the NLDS rather than counting on the team's ace to make a normal start. Peralta has tossed 174.2 innings through his first 32 starts, narrowly surpassing the career-high 173.2 he tossed in 2024.

Freddy Fermin C | SD
Padres' Freddy Fermin: Taking seat Saturday
Fermin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

Manny Machado 3B | SD

Casey Legumina RP | TB
Mariners' Casey Legumina: Optioned to ACL
The Mariners optioned Legumina to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.
Legumina will give up his spot in the Mariners' bullpen for Logan Evans (elbow), who returned from the injured list Saturday. Assuming he's thrown his last pitch in the majors this year, Legumina will close the book on 2025 with a 5.62 ERA and 1.45 WHIP alongside a 55:25 K:BB across 49.2 innings.

Logan Evans RP | SEA
Mariners' Logan Evans: Activated from IL
The Mariners reinstated Evans (elbow) from the injured list Saturday.
Evans has been on the injured list since mid-August with right elbow inflammation. He's since made two rehab appearances in the minors, allowing one run on two hits and a walk while striking out two batters over 2.1 innings. Now healthy, the 24-year-old righty is expected to work out of the bullpen during the final two games of the regular season.
