Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-1 loss to the Yankees in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Rosario went 0-for-3 with a walk in the matinee, but he was able to spot the Guardians an early lead with his first-inning blast in the nightcap. He did go without a hit in consecutive contests for the first time since May 5-7, an impressive stretch that's seen him emerge as a reliable bat in the No. 2 spot in the order. The 26-year-old is slashing .287/.322/.397 with three homers, 23 RBI, 40 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 298 plate appearances. All three of his long balls have come since June 15, so it looks like his power is trending in the right direction, though his playing style is more contact-oriented.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Rojas hasn't been a platoon player since his return, and in fact he has some reverse splits so far this year, but he will sit Saturday against lefty Austin Gomber. Jake Hager will man the hot corner for Arizona. After a three-hit game Friday, Rojas is now batting .260/.326/.385 with four homers and five stolen bases in 46 games this season.

Gimenez isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Gimenez started at second base in Saturday's matinee and went 1-for-3 with a double, a run, a walk and a strikeout. He'll take a seat while Owen Miller starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

Torres isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Torres was productive during the first game in the twin bill, as he went 3-for-4 with three RBI, a run and a walk. However, he'll get a breather while DJ LeMahieu shifts to second base with Joey Gallo entering the lineup in right field.

Estrada was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox due to an illness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada was slated to start at second base Saturday, but Jason Vosler will step in at the keystone and bat seventh. It's not yet clear whether Estrada will be available off the bench, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day.

Haggerty is starting Saturday's game against Oakland.

Haggerty is serving as the starting right fielder and batting ninth for a fourth consecutive game. Over the last three matchups, he's gone 4-for-10 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base.

Andrus isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Andrus is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-17 with a homer, a double, six RBI, two runs and a stolen base. He'll get a breather while Nick Allen starts at shortstop with Tony Kemp taking over at second base.

McNeil isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rangers.

McNeil started in the last three matchups and went 1-for-9 with a run, a walk and five strikeouts during that time. J.D. Davis is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth Saturday.

Gorman (hand) is starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman was out of the lineup for three consecutive games due to a hand injury, but he appeared as a pinch hitter Friday and went 0-for-1. He'll start at the keystone and bat fifth during Saturday's matchup.

Arauz isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Arauz is getting a day off after he went 0-for-6 with four strikeouts over the last two games. Tyler Nevin is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.
