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

Heim will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going just 1-for-12 in his last five games. Kyle Higashioka will fill in at catcher and bat ninth.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey will rest Saturday after turning in his first multi-hit performance since May 6 during Friday's series opener. His absence will put Sam Huff behind the plate and ninth in the batting order.

The Guardians reinstated Fry (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Fry has spent the first portion of the season working his way back from an elbow procedure he underwent in November. He began playing in minor-league games May 13 and went 3-for-29 with a homer, five RBI and two runs scored during his nine-game rehab assignment. Despite his underwhelming performance, the Guardians feel he's ready to rejoin the active roster. Cody Bolton was designated for assignment to create room for Fry on the 40-man roster.

Quero is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday.

Quero will take a seat after going 5-for-18 with three doubles over his last five starts. Korey Lee will start behind home plate and bat eighth while forming a battery with Davis Martin.

The Orioles designated Tromp for assignment Saturday.

Just five days after being added to the active roster, Tromp will lose his spot in favor of Jordyn Adams, who was selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday. Tromp went 0-for-4 during his time in Baltimore and has slashed .254/.338/.413 in 71 minor-league plate appearances this season.

Kirk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Kirk will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after going 4-for-7 with three RBI, two runs scored and three walks through the first two games of the series. Ali Sanchez will replace him behind the dish and bat ninth.

Bailey went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

Bailey hit his first double since May 4 in the second inning and added a single in the eighth. With that, he recorded his first multi-hit effort since May 6, marking his fifth of the season. The 26-year-old catcher owns a lackluster .183/.242/.268 slash line with 15 runs scored, 15 RBI, nine extra-base hits -- including one home run -- and a 32.9 percent strikeout rate across 158 plate appearances this season.

Kirk went 1-for-4 with two walks and two RBI in Friday's win over the A's.

The 26-year-old catcher hasn't produced an extra-base hit since May 14, but he's done an excellent job getting on base in the meantime. Over his last 12 games, Kirk is batting .387 (12-for-31) with nine walks against only one strikeout, giving him an eye-popping .500 OBP during that stretch.

Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

Stephenson's two-run blast in the fourth inning turned out to be the game-winning hit. He's gone deep in three of the last four games, going 8-for-16 during that stretch, and has reached base safely in seven consecutive contests.

Dingler went 3-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

The backstop ended an 18-game homer drought by turning on a Seth Lugo fastball in the second inning, driving it into the left-field bullpen for a two-run shot. Dingler's kept collecting hits even when they weren't leaving the park, and through 79 plate appearances in May he's slashing .338/.380/.473 with nine runs and 10 RBI. Even with Jake Rogers healthy, Dingler is firmly entrenched as the Tigers' No. 1 catcher as he puts together a breakout campaign.
