The White Sox optioned Sandlin to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Sandlin was recalled from Triple-A on Friday but will head right back to the minors after giving up six earned runs in 5.1 innings out of the bullpen. He'll be joined on the trip to Charlotte by Noah Schultz, and Tanner McDougal and Hagen Smith will fill the open spots on the active roster.

Bohm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm went 0-for-4 with a walk Friday to snap what had been a six-game hitting streak. Kyle Schwarber will fill in at first base while Bohm sits Saturday, putting Bryce Harper at the DH spot and giving Bryan De La Cruz a start in right field.

Realmuto isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto has notched four base hits across the Phillies' last three games, but he'll move to the bench to begin Saturday's game while Garrett Stubbs starts behind the plate and bats ninth.

Tatis went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Friday in a loss to the Astros.

Tatis brought the Padres to within a run with his 400-foot blast to left field in the fifth inning. The long ball was his second over his past three games and his 10th of the campaign. That's far off the pace Tatis has established in previous seasons, though it should be remembered that he failed to hit a homer until his 56th contest this season. Since that initial home run, he's belted 10 long balls across 60 games, adding 34 RBI, 12 stolen bases and a .291/.355/.494 slash line.

The Reds optioned Petty to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Petty gave up three runs (two earned) in 1.2 innings while serving as the Reds' opening pitcher in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals, and he'll now head back to the minors to open up a spot on the active roster for righty Ron Marinaccio, who was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh. Petty now owns a 4.83 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 31.2 innings this season.

McCray isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCray will get a day to regroup after going 0-for-13 with five walks, two runs and a steal across his last six games. Eddys Leonard will start in left field and bat seventh while McCray sits.

D'Arnaud isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Erica Weston of Angels Broadcast Television reports.

Saturday marks d'Arnaud's third straight absence from the starting lineup despite the veteran backstop having recorded a hit in each of his last two games. Tyler Heineman will handle catching duties and bat ninth.

Duran will start in left field and bat eighth Saturday against the Athletics.

Duran was left out of the first iteration of Saturday's lineup, but he'll join the starting nine to replace Wilyer Abreu, who was scratched with a calf injury. Duran owns a .685 OPS since the All-Star break but has slugged three home runs in six games since the beginning of August.

Abreu was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics due to swelling in his shin/calf.

Interim manager Chad Tracy said that the team had been trying to get the 27-year-old a day off during its 16-game stretch, per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald, so Abreu will remain on the bench Saturday while he tends to his injury. In the meantime, Eli White will move over to right field, and Jarren Duran will enter the lineup to start in left.

The Athletics optioned Juenger to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Juenger will lose his spot in the big-league bullpen after giving up four runs on five hits in just one inning during Friday's blowout loss against the Red Sox. Yunior Tur was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the open spot on the 26-man active roster.
