Tyler Stephenson C | CIN
Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Sitting Saturday
Stephenson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Out of Saturday's lineup
Edwards isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.
The switch-hitting Edwards carries a .588 OPS against southpaws on the year, so he'll retreat to the dugout Saturday against left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Maximo Acosta will get the nod at second base instead while batting ninth.

Christian Roa RP | CHC
Marlins' Christian Roa: Selected from Jacksonville
The Marlins selected Roa's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
Roa has enjoyed a breakout campaign at Jacksonville this season, turning in a 2.83 ERA and 1.10 WHIP alongside a 61:28 K:BB through 57.1 innings. The 26-year-old's performance will earn him a spot in Miami's bullpen as the replacement for the injured Freddy Tarnok (ankle). Roa will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Luke Williams 2B | ATL
Braves' Luke Williams: Clears waivers
Williams cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.
Williams will officially remain in the Atlanta organization after being designated for assignment Thursday. The 29-year-old utility man has been a liability at the plate in both MLB and Triple-A this year, though his versatility could become valuable if Atlanta's depth is tested down the stretch.

The Mariners reinstated Robles (suspension) to the active roster Saturday.
Robles was initially suspended 10 games after he threw his bat during a rehab game at Triple-A Tacoma, but his suspension was reduced to seven games following an appeal.
