Stanton isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus St. Louis.

Stanton is beginning the day on the bench for a second straight day despite hitting very well of late, as he's posted a 1.103 OPS with eight homers and 20 RBI over 22 contests since the All-Star break. A part-time role may be the necessary norm for him until Aaron Judge is able to return to playing the outfield. Stanton has been getting starts in right field recently, but Jose Caballero will man that position for the second straight game Saturday.

Manzardo is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Atlanta.

Manzardo has been red-hot while starting each of Cleveland's past seven contests, batting .318 with three home runs and five RBI over that stretch. However, he's beginning Saturday's game on the bench with Atlanta sending lefty Joey Wentz to the mound. With Manzardo not starting, the Guardians have opted to give David Fry a chance to DH.

Larnach is not starting against Detroit on Saturday.

Larnach had been in the starting nine for five of Minnesota's previous six contests, going just 3-for-19 with a home run and one RBI during that span. Prior to that stretch, he was out of the lineup for three games due to left side soreness, but there's no indication that his absence Saturday is related to the issue or any injury. With Larnach on the bench, Luke Keaschall is getting a day off his feet as the Twins' DH.

The Blue Jays reinstated Springer (concussion) from the injured list Saturday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Springer returns to the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against Texas following a two-week absence due to a concussion. Joey Loperfido was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Springer played in two minor-league rehab games, going 2-for-5 with a double and a home run.

Stanton is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Cardinals on Friday.

Stanton will be on the bench to begin Friday's game while Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter and Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Jose Caballero start in the outfield from left to right. Stanton has a 1.102 OPS with seven home runs and 17 RBI since July 25 and has recorded a hit in each of the last 15 games he's started.

Santander (shoulder) has progressed to swinging from both sides of the plate and is expected the spend the next couple weeks ramping up his hitting program, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The veteran outfielder has a lot of boxes to check in his hitting progression and can safely be ruled out for the rest of August. Santander, who has been on the shelf with a subluxation of his left shoulder since late May, will also require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Blue Jays.

Polanco is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Polanco started the previous 10 games and will receive a day off after going 6-for-35 (.171 average) with a 26.3 percent strikeout rate during that span. Josh Naylor is serving as the designated hitter while Donovan Solano picks up a start at first base.

Springer (concussion) will DH at Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, and if all goes well, he'll join the Blue Jays on Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Springer cleared concussion protocol Wednesday and began a minor-league rehab assignment Thursday. The 35-year-old went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk in Thursday's contest. Springer had been sidelined since Aug. 1 due to the concussion.

Yoshida isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against Miami, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Yoshida will cede DH work to Roman Anthony for the second time in four games, taking a seat against right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Marlins. Yoshida is 7-for-19 (.368) with two doubles, a homer and seven RBI in his last six games.

Alvarez (hand) will take live batting practice this weekend, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It will be the first time Alvarez has faced live pitching since he suffered a setback with his fractured right hand more than a month ago. If things go well for Alvarez this weekend, he should be cleared for a rehab assignment soon thereafter. A return before the end of August is possible. Alvarez has been sidelined since early May.
