Sosa went 1-for-3 Saturday against the Royals.

Sosa was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday and was immediately penciled in at second base while hitting seventh. He accounted for one of only three hits by the White Sox, though he's likely to serve primarily as a backup across most of the infield positions. Even if Sosa does find more consistent playing time, he's managed only a .186 average across his first 209 big-league plate appearances.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a leadoff home run and an RBI double in Saturday's 9-8 loss to Atlanta.

Both hits actually came in the first inning. Marte led off the top of the first with a mammoth 461-foot blast off of Max Fried and later concluded the scoring in a six-run frame by doubling in a run off the lefty. He also drew a walk. It's the second straight game with a leadoff home run for Marte and his third straight contest with a long ball. He's reached base 18 times in his first nine games.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and an additional RBI during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Brewers.

Polanco is still hitting just .176 on the season but has shown signs of life lately with a hit in each of his past five games, though he's gone just 5-for-20 during that stretch. The 30-year-old is still batting out of the No. 3 spot for now, but he may need to get on track soon to retain that slot.

Rengifo (head) is starting at second base Saturday against the Red Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rengifo has been sidelined for the past few days after leaving Wednesday's contest due to lightheadedness. The issue has seemingly subsided ahead of Saturday's contest, so the 27-year-old will give Brandon Drury a breather and look to tally a hit in his third consecutive game.

Drury isn't in the Angels' lineup for Saturday's contest against the Red Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Drury will get a breather Saturday after slashing .160/.250/.160 through his first seven games. Luis Rengifo (head) will return to cover second base while batting seventh.

Lowe (side) is starting at second base and batting second Saturday against the Rockies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe's side tightness and a left-handed Rockies starter prevented him from starting Friday's contest, but he entered the game as a pinch hitter and made three plate appearances during the loss. Now, with right-hander Ryan Feltner on the mound for Colorado, the 29-year-old infielder will return to the lineup in search of his first hit since March 29.

The White Sox recalled Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Sosa was officially called up after the White Sox moved Luis Robert (hip) to the 10-day injured list. Sosa had a good start with Charlotte, going 8-for-24 with one home run, three RBI and five walks. He will draw the start at second base and bat seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Frazier will sit for the second time in the last three games despite the White Sox sending out right-hander Chris Flexen for Saturday's game. Frazier is batting .263/.333/.263 with two RBI to start the season. Nick Loftin will start at second base and bat seventh in the lineup.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Saturday against the Cubs, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Left-handed starter Jordan Wicks will take the mound for the Cubs on Saturday, so the lefty-hitting Lux will step out of the lineup. Mookie Betts will cover second base instead while Miguel Rojas starts at shortstop.

Garcia isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

With left-hander Ranger Suarez on the mound for Philadelphia, the lefty-hitting Garcia will step out of the lineup Saturday. Ildemaro Vargas will fill in at the keystone and bat seventh.
