  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Hitting injured list

    Campusano (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday but isn't expected to miss more than the minimum amount of time, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports

    Campusano was scratched ahead of Friday's 9-5 win over the Brewers and held out of Saturday's 6-4 win with left thumb soreness before the Padres placed him on the IL. Brett Sullivan was called up from Triple-A El Paso take Campusano's place on the active roster, but Kyle Higashioka should get most of the work behind the plate while Campusano is out.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Absent from starting nine

    Campusano (thumb) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Idle Saturday

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Gets Saturday off

    Langeliers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

  • Seby Zavala C | LAD

    Mariners' Seby Zavala: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Zavala cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Zavala was DFA'd by the Mariners on June 18 after slashing .154/.214/.282 with a 37.2 percent strikeout rate over 43 major-league plate appearances. The 30-year-old catcher will look to find his swing in Triple-A as he attempts to work his way back up to the majors.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Still out Saturday

    Stephenson (undisclosed) isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against the Red Sox.

    Manager David Bell said Friday that Stephenson is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. It's still unclear what the 27-year-old backstop is dealing with, but it's enough to sideline him for a second consecutive game Saturday. While he recovers, Luke Maile will pick up another start behind the plate and bat eighth.

  • Phillies' Garrett Stubbs: Sitting versus lefty

    Stubbs isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game versus Arizona.

    The lefty-hitting Stubbs will take a seat Saturday as the lefty-throwing Tommy Henry starts on the bump for the Diamondbacks. Rafael Marchan will instead start at catcher while batting ninth.

  • Pirates' Yasmani Grandal: Not starting Saturday

    Grandal isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

  • Jose Herrera C | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Added to big-league roster

    The Diamondbacks recalled Herrera from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    A thumb injury forced Gabriel Moreno onto the 10-day injured list Saturday, so Herrera will join the active roster to give the D-backs some security behind the plate. The 27-year-old backstop has slashed .260/.351/.362 with 19 RBI in 149 plate appearances with Reno this season, and he figures to serve as the backup to Tucker Barnhart while Moreno is out.
