Peraza isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Peraza will grab a seat on the bench after going 1-for-4 with two strikeouts during Friday's series opener. Vaughn Grissom will take over at the keystone and bat fifth.

Arraez went 3-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

Arraez collected his fourth multi-hit effort over his last seven games. He's also picked up two steals in that span and now has eight thefts on the year, three shy of matching his career high from the 2025 regular season. The contact hitter is batting .331 with an .832 OPS, four home runs, 35 RBI, 47 runs scored, 21 doubles and seven triples over 89 contests.

Seigler went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during the Red Sox's 6-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

Seigler extended Boston's lead to 4-1 in the seventh inning, courtesy of his two-run deep ball off A.J. Minter. It was the second home run of Seigler's major-league career and his fifth multi-hit game of the season. He should continue to see regular reps at second base for as long as Marcelo Mayer (forearm), Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) and Nick Sogard (oblique) are all on the injured list.

Cronenworth isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

Cronenworth will get a break Friday after going 4-for-15 while collecting a homer, three RBI and two runs during San Diego's previous series against the D-backs. Miguel Andujar will serve as the DH and bat seventh in Cronenworth's absence.

Song isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

After going just 1-for-13 with an RBI and two runs scored in four games against the Diamondbacks, Song will take a seat to begin Friday's series opener against Toronto. Fernando Tatis will move to second base as a result, opening up right field for Jase Bowen.

The Cardinals are in agreement with Wetherholt on a long-term contract extension, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the deal is worth eight years and $112.5 million and could max out at $132 million if all escalators are reached. Wetherholt is the likely National League Rookie of the Year front-runner, sporting a .267/.362/.411 batting line with 13 home runs, nine stolen bases and a 38:61 BB:K over 87 contests. The 23-year-old is also leading all second basemen in outs above average at plus-16.

Arraez went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

Arraez hit an RBI double in the fifth inning, drew a walk in the sixth and singled before coming around to score in the eighth. The 29-year-old infielder has recorded three multi-hit games through eight outings in July, batting .273 with three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base across 36 plate appearances during that time. He's now slashing .326/.363/.460 with 46 runs scored, 35 RBI, seven stolen bases and four long balls in 389 plate appearances this season.

The Reds placed McLain on the 10-day injured list with a strained calf, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

McLain was unavailable Thursday because of the injury and ultimately wasn't able to avoid a trip to the injured list. The 26-year-old has seen his role reduced, as McLain had started only five of the Reds' last 12 games before his placement on the IL. Calf strains typically result in longer than 10-day absences, but it's unclear how severe McLain's strain is.

Foscue went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and two total RBI in a 7-6 win against the Angels on Thursday.

Foscue logged his first hit with a 429-foot solo homer in the fourth inning and added an RBI on a ground-rule double in the sixth. The infielder has been swinging the bat well when given the opportunity of late, producing four multi-hit performances and a .409 average with three homers, three doubles and nine RBI across his past eight contests. He's struggled to get playing time, however, as Thursday marked his first start over the Rangers' past five games.

McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

McKinstry provided Detroit with some breathing room in the fifth inning, launching a two-run homer off Jack Perkins for his fourth long ball of the season. Over his last 11 games, the infielder is batting .295 (13-for-44) while raising his season batting average by 25 points during that stretch.
