Bell entered as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in Saturday's 5-0 win over Milwaukee.

Bell stayed in the game to serve as the designated hitter but didn't get any more plate appearances. Saturday's appearance was his first since last Sunday. The September returns of Christian Walker, Ketel Marte and more recently, Lourdes Gurriel, give the Diamondbacks more lineup options, limiting Bell's opportunities. Bell, who had 112 plate appearances during the month of August over 26 games, has just 43 this month with seven games left in the regular season.

Turner left Saturday's game against the Rangers in the sixth inning due to a knee injury, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Turner fouled a ball off his knee during his at-bat in the top of the sixth inning, and he'll finish the game having gone 2-for-4. Dylan Moore has shifted over to first base while Leo Rivas comes in at second.

Wade went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

Wade took Brady Singer deep twice to register his first multi-homer effort of the season. The 30-year-old has been productive through 15 September contests, logging four multi-hit efforts, homering three times and driving in 10 runs. On the season, he is hitting .267 with eight long balls, 33 RBI, 44 runs scored and two steals across 378 plate appearances.

Aranda went 2-for-3 with two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Aranda homered for the second straight contest, crushing a 414-foot blast off Yariel Rodriguez in the third inning. The 26-year-old has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games while going deep four times. On the season, he is hitting .248 with five long balls, 11 RBI and 19 runs scored across 117 plate appearances.

Soderstrom isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

With left-hander Carlos Rodon set to start on the bump for New York, the lefty-hitting Soderstrom will stay put in Oakland's dugout to begin Saturday's contest. In his absence, Tyler Nevin will get the starting nod at first base and bat seventh.

Rizzo isn't in the Yankees' lineup Saturday versus Oakland.

The lefty-hitting Rizzo will take a seat Saturday against the lefty-throwing JP Sears while Oswaldo Cabrera starts at first base and bats eighth.

Gallo went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Gallo broke the game open with his homer off Keegan Thompson in the sixth inning. Gallo has five hits in the month of September, four of which have been home runs. With nine homers this season, Gallo is one away from extending his streak of 10 or more that dates back to 2017.

France went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Pirates.

France took Jared Jones deep in the third inning and snapped a streak of 14 games without a home run. After a hot stretch initially upon joining the Reds, France had hit a skid, slashing .200/.193/.255 with zero homers over his last 14 games. The 30-year-old has five of his 13 homers with Cincinnati to go along with a .746 OPS in 160 at-bats since joining his new team.

Singleton is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Singleton will dodge a same-side matchup with lefty Reid Detmers, yielding to Victor Caratini at first base. Singleton is slashing .238/.319/.392 on the year, and he's 8-for-22 (.364) in his last eight games.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

The lefty-hitting Tellez will be on the bench for the fifth time in the last 10 games despite Pittsburgh facing a right-hander in Rhett Lowder. Tellez is 2-for-25 (.080) in his last nine games.
