Canha went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, three runs and a hit-by-pitch in the 7-2 win over the Orioles on Saturday.

Canha came into Saturday refreshed after receiving his first rest day of the season Friday. He was all over the stat sheet, playing a part in five of the team's seven runs.

Zack Short was sent down by the Tigers in a corresponding move.

Lewis had started each of the last three games and went 2-for-12 with a double and three strikeouts during that time. Taylor Trammell will shift to center field while Sam Haggerty starts in left field Saturday.

Rooker isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates.

Rooker will retreat to the bench for a second straight game after he went 1-for-10 with a double, one walk and five strikeouts in his last three contests. Jake Cave will take over in right field Saturday, batting eighth.

Solak went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-7 loss to the White Sox.

Solak's rebound from a slow start continued unabated Friday with his fifth home run of the season. After batting .209 with a strikeout rate of 35.4 K%, Solak's slashing .367/.472/.767 with four homers, six RBI, five walks and seven runs while lowering his strikeout rate to 16.7 K% over the last eight games.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Mariners.

The veteran slugger launched his seventh homer of the year off Yusei Kikuchi in the third inning, extending his hitting streak to eight games in the process. Martinez has already matched in home run total from 2020 in 35 fewer games, and his 1.179 OPS is almost 500 points higher than last year's performance.

Mercedes went 4-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 9-7 win over the Rangers.
