Jose Caballero SS | NYY
Mariners' Jose Caballero: Contract selected from Triple-A
The Mariners selected the contract of Caballero from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Cabellero is being called up from the Rainiers as insurance for Sam Haggerty after Haggerty banged his head on a diving play during Friday's win. Cabellero is unlikely to see much playing time in what could be a short stint on the Seattle bench.

Brendan Donovan 2B | SEA
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Reaches four times, steals two bags
Donovan went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to Pittsburgh.
Donovan was effective at the top of the lineup for St. Louis. The steals were his first two of the season in a game where the Cardinals swiped four bags against catcher Jason Delay and the Pittsburgh pitching staff. Donovan now owns a four-game hitting streak while hitting safely in five of his last six contests, and he also didn't strike out for the first time since April 10.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Out of lineup Saturday
Lowe is not in the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays.
Taylor Walls will start at second base and bat sixth with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi on the bump for Toronto. Lowe, who's slashing .324/.444/.757 on the year, should be back in there Sunday. He's produced five home runs and 12 RBI through 12 games played.

Luis Arraez 2B | SF
Marlins' Luis Arraez: Sits again with finger injury
Arraez is again out of the Marlins' lineup Saturday due to discomfort in his left index finger, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Arraez also sat out Friday with what is being called a day-to-day issue with his left index finger. Garrett Hampson will get another start at second base and bat ninth Saturday against the Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson.

Owen Miller 2B | CHC
Brewers' Owen Miller: Snags steal in win
Miller went 2-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's victory over the Padres.
Miller started Friday for just the fourth time in 14 games, but he capitalized on the opportunity, recording both his first multi-hit game and steal since joining the Brewers over the offseason. Miller primarily played first base last season with the Guardians, but with a couple veterans occupying that spot in Milwaukee, all four of his starts this year have come at second base.

Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU
Mets' Luis Guillorme: On base five times Friday
Guillorme went 2-for-3 with three walks, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the A's.
Getting the start at second base and hitting eighth, Guillorme was one of four Mets to reach base at least four times on a night when the team scored 17 runs on 11 hits and a stunning 17 walks. The utility infielder has seen action in nine games so far this season, batting .273 (6-for-22) with one RBI and four runs, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit or first steal.

Luis Garcia 1B | WAS
Nationals' Luis Garcia: On base four times in loss
Garcia went 2-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Guardians.
His fourth-inning long ball off Cal Quantrill was Garcia's first of the season. The 22-year-old just returned from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and he'll look to build some momentum at the plate after batting .226 (7-for-31) through his first nine games this season.

Sam Haggerty LF | TEX
Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Steals another base Friday
Haggerty went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Rockies on Friday.
Haggerty swiped his third bag of the season following his second-inning walk, with that pair of developments serving as his only offensive contributions on the night. The 28-year-old has struggled plenty at the plate early in 2023 with just a .118 average through 19 plate appearances, but his defensive versatility continues to be valued, especially while fellow utility man Dylan Moore (oblique) remains sidelined.

Edouard Julien 2B | COL
Twins' Edouard Julien: Batting leadoff Saturday
Julien is batting leadoff Saturday against the Yankees.
Byron Buxton is serving as the designated hitter and batting third. Julien seems to have taken over the leadoff spot against right-handed pitching and will start things off for the Twins on Saturday with Domingo German on the mound for New York.
