  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting against lefty

    Holliday isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    With left-hander Kris Bubic due to start on the bump for Kansas City, the left-handed bat of Holliday will stay put in the dugout. Jorge Mateo will pick up a start at second base instead and bat ninth.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Joining Dodgers

    The Dodgers plan to recall Kim from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    After signing a three-year deal with the Dodgers in the offseason, Kim was sent to Triple-A at the beginning of the year to work on his swing. Through 129 plate appearances, the 26-year-old has slashed .252/.328/.470 with five homers, 19 RBI and 22 runs scored while swiping 13 bags in 28 games. A corresponding move for Kim's promotion hasn't been announced yet, though it may signal a move to the injured list for Tommy Edman (ankle).

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Sitting out Saturday

    Lopez (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

    Lopez made an early exit from Friday's game after twisting his right ankle, and he'll take a day off Saturday to recover. Javier Sanoja will fill in for him at second base and bat ninth.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Resting Saturday

    Arias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto.

    Arias will get a day to collect himself Saturday after going 0-for-10 with two runs scored across his last three games. His absence will give Brayan Rocchio a chance to start at shortstop while batting eighth.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Idle Saturday

    Julien isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

    Julien will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 2-for-16 with a home run and five strikeouts over his last five games. His absence will put Kody Clemens at second base.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Sitting third straight

    Campbell (ribs) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

    Saturday will mark Campbell's third consecutive absence due to rib discomfort. A trip to the injured list doesn't seem imminent, though the Red Sox may begin to consider it if the rookie's health doesn't improve soon. David Hamilton will continue to fill in at second base while Campbell is out.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Sitting down Saturday

    Gorman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    The Cardinals will give Gorman a chance to collect himself after going 0-for-13 with three walks and five strikeouts over his last five games. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Alec Burleson to start at first base while batting sixth.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | NYM

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Idle Saturday

    McNeil isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    McNeil has put together a six-game hitting streak since returning from the injured list, but he'll take a seat on the bench Saturday while Luisangel Acuna starts at second base and Tyrone Taylor gets the nod in center field.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Sitting third straight

    Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Saturday will mark the third consecutive absence from the lineup for Dubon while Brendan Rodgers starts at second base. Dubon had started three of the Astros' previous four games leading up to Rodgers' stretch of starts, and it seems the two players have fallen into a timeshare at the keystone.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Two steals in win

    Hamilton started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two steals and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins.

    Hamilton filled in at second base for Kristian Campbell (ribs) for a second straight day and was productive again. Hamilton has gone 4-for-7 with three stolen bases in the two games, but Boston manager Alex Cora believes Campbell will be ready to play Sunday, per MLB.com. Hamilton has five steals over 39 plate appearances this season.
