Lee is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

Lee will take a rest Saturday after going 2-for-8 over the first two games of the series. Martin Maldonado will start at catcher and bat ninth against Baltimore right-hander Albert Suarez.

D'Arnaud isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

After going 2-for-4 with two RBI during Friday's loss, d'Arnaud will take a seat Saturday while Chadwick Tromp starts behind the plate, batting eighth.

Jansen is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Jansen will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after starting in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-8 with one double, one RBI and two walks. Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher and bat sixth against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson.

Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Mariners.

The 25-year-old catcher has had a rough season so far, and Friday's long ball off George Kirby snapped a 19-game homer drought for Ruiz. Through 31 contests, he's slashing a feeble .171/.207/.270 with three home runs and 10 RBI, but his bat could be waking up -- over his last six starts, he's batting .316 (6-for-19) with two doubles in addition to Friday's blast.

Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nido will get a day off after going 0-for-2 with a sac fly during Friday's series opener. Omar Narvaez will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Bailey went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Friday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

The 24-year-old backstop took Reed Garrett deep in the eighth inning to put the Giants ahead 7-6 and help them make history, as they became only the fourth team since 1900 to win three straight games in which it had been trailing in by four or more runs. Bailey has gone 5-for-11 in four games since returning from a concussion, and on the season he's slashing .301/.352/.495 with four homers, two steals, 13 runs and 16 RBI in 30 contests.

Stallings hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance in Friday's 3-2 11-inning win over the Phillies.

Stallings entered the game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and took Jose Alvarado yard to tie the game at 2-2. It was his third home run of the season, all of which have come in May. Even with the positive results for Stallings, Elias Diaz will continue to pick up the majority of starts behind the plate for the Rockies.

Fry went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

Fry has homered five times over his last 13 games, going 14-for-33 (.424) with a 10:6 BB:K in that span. The 28-year-old got a start at catcher versus southpaw Patrick Sandoval in this contest, though manager Stephen Vogt has found room for him in various spots including first base, third base, left field and designated hitter this season. Fry is slashing a stellar .360/.500/.628 with six homers, 19 RBI, 22 runs scored and three stolen bases over 114 plate appearances.

Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

The lefty-hitting Naylor will retreat to the bench as the Guardians prepare to face left-hander Patrick Sandoval. David Fry will fill in behind the dish and bat fifth.

Trevino (illness) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Trevino was pulled from Thursday's game due to an illness, and he seems to still be under the weather heading into Friday's contest. Austin Wells will pick up another start behind the dish and bat eighth while Trevino rests.
