Lowe is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Mainers.

Lowe will get a breather Saturday despite Seattle tossing right-hander Logan Gilbert. The second baseman has just two hits in his last 15 at-bats, so he'll look to use Saturday's rest to regroup at the plate.

Guillorme isn't starting Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Guillorme went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Saturday's matinee, but he'll retreat to the bench for the second game of the twin bill. Jose Peraza will start at second base and bat seventh.

Gimenez has homered in five straight games for Triple-A Columbus.

It's been an impressive week for the 22-year-old infielder, who had only one long ball in 20 minor-league games prior to the surge. Through 25 contests, Gimenez is slashing a mediocre .245/.300/.471 with six homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base across 113 plate appearances. He started the year in Cleveland, and an extended run of success in the minors could earn him a call-up at some point.

Arroyo isn't starting Saturday's game against the Royals, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Arroyo hit a grand slam in Wednesday's series finale against Atlanta, but he went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts Friday. Enrique Hernandez will shift to second base while Danny Santana starts in center field.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-3 victory over Detroit.

Rengifo hit the first of three Angels homers in the fifth inning, slugging a 414-foot solo shot to right field. The long ball was his first of the season and ninth of his big-league career. Rengifo is 3-for-8 with a pair of RBI in two games since returning to the big club Thursday.

The Mets plan to reinstate McNeil (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Although McNeil won't be available for the team's weekend series against the Nationals, he's expected to start one of the two games in Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta. The 29-year-old has been on the injured list since May 17 due to a left hamstring strain, but he's hit .353 with a home run and two doubles across five rehab games with Triple-A Syracuse.

Albies went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals.

His two-run shot off Carlos Martinez in the second inning broke the game open for Atlanta and gave Albies his 10th homer of the year. The second baseman hadn't gone yard since May 22, but he's still been plenty productive in the meantime, slashing .310/.376/.512 in his last 21 games with four steals, 14 runs and 19 RBI in addition to Friday's blast.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over Texas.

Polanco drew a walk, stole second and scored the third run of Minnesota's three-run rally in the 10th inning. The 27-year-old has recorded steals in each of the last two games after previously not attempting a stolen base since May 16. He's now slashing .254/.319/.441 with nine home runs, 30 RBI, 39 runs scored and five steals across 263 plate appearances.

Urias went 2-for-2 with a solo homer, a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.

Urias put Milwaukee on the board with a solo shot in the third inning, his eighth long ball of the year but his first since June 3. He reached base in each of his four plate appearances and later recorded his third steal of the season after he was hit by a pitch. The 24-year-old infielder is sporting a .755 OPS with 20 extra-base hits and 30 RBI through 234 plate appearances.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over Milwaukee.

Rodgers doubled and scored in the sixth inning and later gave the Rockies a 5-4 lead in the seventh with his RBI double. It was his fourth multi-hit game of the month and first since June 10. The 24-year-old is slashing .264/.349/.431 with 14 RBI through 83 plate appearances.
