Brujan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Phillies.

Brujan got the scoring started in this one with a leadoff blast off Taijuan Walker in the bottom of the fifth inning. It was his first home run as a Marlin and just his fourth in 130 major-league games. Brujan also singled and was caught stealing, and he added an additional run after reaching on a fielder's choice. The 26-year-old has become an everyday player for the Marlins over the last two weeks, starting 13 of the last 15 contests. His production has slowed in May, but Brujan has shown enough since getting regular reps to make him a viable deep-league option.

Massey is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

He'll sit against lefty Tyler Anderson, with Garrett Hampson getting the nod at the keystone. Massey is hitting .273 with two home runs and two doubles in nine games this month.

Fermin was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

The 25-year-old infielder hit .200 across 18 MLB plate appearances with zero home runs and one steal. Fermin logged a .350/.458/.650 slash line with four home runs, five steals and a 3:11 K:BB in 18 games at Triple-A earlier this season.

Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

The 25-year-old utilityman slashed .311/.403/.487 with four home runs, three steals and a 21:19 K:BB in 140 plate appearances in the Pacific Coast League. Wisely primarily played second base and center field at Triple-A while also picking up a couple starts at shortstop. The lefty hitter will be available off the bench while the Giants face off against southpaw Nick Lodolo on Saturday.

Marte is starting at designated hitter Saturday for the second day in a row due to his body feeling a little stiff, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

He socked his eighth home run of the season Friday to extend his hit streak to 11 games. Marte should return to the keystone once he feels right. Blaze Alexander has started each of the last two games at second base.

Williams was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Saturday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Ke'Bryan Hayes was placed on the injured list with a back issue, so Williams could see some reps in the infield in the short term. Williams was optioned Friday and never actually got into a Triple-A game. He has a .239/.271/.348 slash line with zero home runs and one steal in 51 plate appearances in the majors.

Torres is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Torres will be held out of the lineup for the first time since April 20 against Tampa Bay, though he did pinch hit in that contest. Torres is 5-for-30 with five walks and a solo home run in May, and he is coming off an 0-for-4 showing with one strikeout in Friday's win. Oswaldo Cabrera will shift to second base Saturday while Jon Berti gets the start at third.

Grissom will be the designated hitter and bat fifth in Saturday's game against the Nationals, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

With Grissom shifting to DH on Saturday, David Hamilton will start at second base. Since making his Red Sox debut May 3, Grissom is 3-for-21 with one double and two RBI.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

He took Cole Irvin deep in the third inning, giving Marte his eighth homer of the season and third in the last five games. The 30-year-old second baseman also extended his hitting streak to 11 games with the solo shot, but he's batting just .261 (12-for-46) during that stretch as he's managed only one multi-hit performance.

Gonzales went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's loss to the Cubs.

Gonzales was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday and immediately entered the starting lineup, hitting fifth while starting at second base. He delivered a two-RBI single in the first inning but also struck out twice. Gonzales should have a chance to seize regular playing time as the Pirates continue to try to get their offense on track.
