Haggerty is not in Saturday's lineup against the Athletics.

Haggerty has been one of Seattle's hottest hitters, slashing .348/.392/.522 with two home runs and three steals in 15 games this month. Jake Lamb gets the start in right field, hitting ninth.

The Astros selected Hensley's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

With Aledmys Diaz (groin) and Mauricio Dubon (elbow) both banged up, Hensley will step in to provide utility depth. The 26-year-old career minor leaguer has seen time at every infield position besides catcher this year at Triple-A. He's hitting .298/.420/.478 with 10 home runs and 20 steals in 104 games.

Miller is not in Saturday's lineup against the White Sox.

He had started four of the last six games, three of those coming against same-handed pitching, but Miller will sit for the second day in a row against a veteran righty (Lance Lynn on Friday, Johnny Cueto on Saturday). Josh Naylor is starting at first base and Oscar Gonzalez is starting at designated hitter.

Lowe is not in Saturday's lineup against the Royals.

As is his custom, Lowe will head to the bench with a lefty (Kris Bubic) on the hill for the opposition. Yu Chang will start at second base and hit seventh.

Castro (thumb) will bat fifth and play first base Saturday against the Angels.

Castro hadn't played since leaving Wednesday's game against the Guardians with left thumb soreness. He's ready to play again following a two-day break and will look to build on his solid .298/.322/.421 slash line over his last 15 games.

Arraez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 2-1 win over the Rangers on Friday.

Arraez flashed a little power by going deep off Rangers starter Martin Perez in the bottom of the first inning. Arraez remains the clear frontrunner to win the 2022 AL batting title and is slashing an incredible .335/.400/.448 in 397 at-bats this year. His seven home runs are a career high and a nice bonus on top of elite contact hitting skills.

Andrus went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Friday against the Guardians.

Andrus signed with the White Sox on Thursday and started at shortstop while hitting seventh Friday. He is likely to have consistent playing time in the short term with Tim Anderson (hand) and Leury Garcia (back) both currently on the injured list. However, Andrus isn't likely to do much with the opportunity, as he's slashed only .235/.297/.369 across 390 plate appearances on the season.

Gimenez went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

Gimenez knocked a two-run single and swiped second base during Cleveland's four-run seventh inning. The breakout star has now gone 24-for-60 (.400) with eight steals, 12 RBI and eight multi-hit games this month. On the year, he's slashing .313/.378/.500 with 36 extra-base hits and 16 stolen bases through 107 games.

Dubon was diagnosed with left elbow discomfort after leaving Friday's game against Atlanta, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Dubon sustained the injury while attempting to make a catch at the outfield wall. He didn't start Friday but replaced Yordan Alvarez (illness) during the fifth inning and lined out in his lone plate appearance. X-rays on Dubon's elbow came back negative, per Rome, and he should be considered day-to-day.

Dubon was removed from Friday's game against Atlanta with an apparent left shoulder injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old entered during the fifth inning and suffered the injury while attempting to make a catch at the outfield wall. Dubon initially remained in the contest but was lifted one batter later and was in visible pain. He should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.
