Marlins' Janson Junk: Departs start with arm discomfort
Junk left Saturday's game against the Blue Jays in the sixth inning due to right forearm discomfort, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Junk didn't have the chance to finish the sixth inning, ending his start having allowed three runs on six hits and one walk across 5.2 innings while recording three strikeouts. Junk's departure came after 92 pitches. Expect the 29-year-old to undergo further evaluations throughout the next 24 hours or so.

Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL
Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Getting breather Saturday
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Vaughn will get a well-earned day off Saturday against San Francisco as Jake Bauers fills in at first base. Vaughn had started 27 consecutive games at first base, slashing .320/.383/.563 with seven home runs and a 9:16 BB:K during that stretch. Although he's expected to remain Milwaukee's primary first baseman, off days could come more frequently as Bauers, and eventually Rhys Hoskins (thumb), are added to the fold.

Jose Soriano SP | TOR
Angels' Jose Soriano: Requires extra time away
Soriano (personal) was moved from the paternity list to the restricted list Saturday.
Per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Soriano traveled back to the Dominican Republic for the birth of his child and required four days off -- one more than the maximum allowed on the paternity list. The expectation is that Soriano will join the team Sunday and make his scheduled start Monday at Texas.

Luis Torrens C | NYM
Mets' Luis Torrens: Battling hand soreness
Torrens has been dealing with soreness in his catching hand but is available off the bench Saturday against Atlanta, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.
Torrens was surprisingly held out of the lineup Saturday for the third straight game, but it turns out his absence is due to soreness in his left hand. While he'll be available off the bench Saturday, Hayden Senger will draw another start behind the plate.

Brandon Nimmo RF | TEX
Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Idle again Saturday
Nimmo (neck) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Nimmo isn't part of the lineup for a third straight game, with Starling Marte patrolling left field in his place. Nimmo went through pregame warmups before a final assessment was made on his availability, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Frankie Montas RP | NYM
Mets' Frankie Montas: Shut down for season
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday that Montas' (elbow) UCL injury will spell an end to the right-hander's season and could require Tommy John surgery, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
After a rough stretch of starts, Montas was demoted to the bullpen earlier this month and had surrendered four runs (two earned) in five innings over his two relief appearances before landing on the 15-day injured list earlier Saturday. Though the Mets have already ruled Montas out for the season, his availability for the start of spring training will remain uncertain until a decision is made regarding whether or not he'll require surgery. Montas holds a $17 million player option for 2026 that he'll most likely exercise this offseason.

Kyle Bradish SP | BAL
Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Likely to start Tuesday
Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Saturday that Bradish (elbow) will likely be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox in Baltimore, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
The 28-year-old has been on the shelf all season while completing his recovery from June 2024 Tommy John surgery, and he finally appears to have reached the finish line. During the sixth start of his rehab assignment Wednesday, Bradish tossed 89 pitches while covering 4.2 innings and allowing three earned runs on six hits and two walks for Triple-A Norfolk. Overall, Bradish produced a 4.91 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB in 22 innings over stops with Norfolk and Double-A Chesapeake during his assignment.

Dominic Canzone DH | SEA
Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Out again Saturday
Canzone (arm) is not in the starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday.
Canzone hasn't played since Monday, when he was removed from a game against Philadelphia after being hit by a pitch on his left arm. The outfielder had X-rays taken, which came back negative, but it's unclear when he'll be ready to play again. When he is healthy enough to be in the lineup, Canzone could face a challenge to his playing time from Victor Robles, who was activated off the 60-day IL on Saturday.

Bailey Falter RP | ATL
Royals' Bailey Falter: Hits IL with biceps contusion
The Royals placed Falter on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a left biceps contusion.
During his relief appearance in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Tigers, Falter took a 91.5 mile-per-hour line drive off his arm on his fifth pitch of the night. He proceeded to stay in the game and was ultimately charged with four earned runs on six hits and one walk over two innings, but he was dealing with enough swelling following the contest for the Royals to shut him down. Jonathan Bowlan was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move to take Falter's spot in the bullpen.
