Koss (hamstring) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, and he went 1-for-5 with an RBI double in the team's 5-4 win over Las Vegas.

Koss began his rehab stint in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Thursday but was quickly moved to Triple-A. The 27-year-old reserve infielder was placed on the 10-day injured list July 1 due to a left hamstring strain, but his quick advancement to Sacramento bodes well for his chances of being activated soon.

McLain went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rays.

The Reds plated two runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings, and McLain had a role in all three rallies. He's hit safely in 10 of 11 games, going 15-for-44 (.341) with three extra-base hits, four RBI, three walks, a stolen base and six runs scored during that stretch. His batting average is up to .220, its highest point since April 3.

Lowe (foot) ran in the outfield Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Lowe landed on the injured list Tuesday, shortly after returning from an oblique injury, but his current foot tendinitis issue isn't seen as serious. He's expected to return in late July or early August.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-3 victory over the Twins.

Garcia stayed hot Saturday with a pair of extra-base hits, extending his hitting streak to five games. Over that span, the second baseman is 7-for-19 with two doubles, a home run and an RBI. He'll look to push the streak to a season-best six games in Sunday's contest. Before this recent surge, Garcia carried a .688 OPS through 87 games, but he has now raised that mark to .708.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Kim has been dealing with a left shoulder issue and won't play Sunday versus Boston, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

According to Roberts, Kim has been dealing with the injury for about a week. Roberts suggested that the injury has been impacting the rookie infielder at the plate, but despite looking uncomfortable at the dish at times Saturday, Kim played eight innings and went 2-for-3. He was lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth, but that may not have been a result of the injury, as Mookie Betts -- who arrived late to the stadium after dealing with a personal issue -- was summoned to bat as the tying run with two outs.

India went 1-for-5 with a three-run, walk-off home run in a 5-3 extra-inning win over the Guardians in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

India connected for a three-run blast off Emmanuel Clase in the 10th inning of the day game. In the nightcap, India went a modest 1-for-4. He's hit safely in nine of his last 14 games, going 13-for-55 (.236) in that span, though he remains the Royals' main leadoff hitter. Overall, the second baseman has a .242/.322/.344 slash line with five homers, 30 RBI, 44 runs scored and no stolen bases through 97 contests this season.

Stott went 1-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Yankees.

That's now three straight games with at least one hit for Stott, although he's struggled mightily as a whole since the start of May. The middle infielder is slashing a woeful .203/.275/.299 with five home runs, seven doubles and 26 RBI over his last 257 plate appearances (66 outings), but he's at least stolen nine bases during this span. Stott had worked his way into Philadelphia's leadoff spot consistently from mid-April to early June, though he hasn't hit first since June 8 and is unlikely to regain that position unless he really begins to heat up at the dish.

Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Young will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk during Friday's contest. Jorge Polanco will cover second base while Young rests, putting Cal Raleigh at the DH spot while Mitch Garver starts behind the dish.

The Angels recalled Kingery from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

The Angels are down a utility man with Chris Taylor (hand) on the injured list for the second time in two months, so Kingery will come up from Triple-A to fill the opening. The 31-year-old has slashed .255/.311/.386 across 167 plate appearances at Salt Lake this year and is expected to come off the bench most days.

Sosa was removed from Saturday's contest against the Yankees due to a back contusion, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

Sosa and Brandon Marsh collided in the outfield on a popup in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Sosa was subsequently lifted after remaining down on the field for a few minutes. He was replaced at third base by Otto Kemp. Sosa is slated for further evaluation, which should give clarity about how much additional time, if any, he'll need to miss.
