Torrens will not start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Torrens has emerged as the Mariners' regular designated hitter, but that spot isn't available under National League rules. He'll sit for the second straight game Saturday and will likely remain on the bench Sunday unless the Mariners give him a start behind the plate or at first base.

Miller is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Miller will head to the bench with a lefty in Trevor Rogers due up for Miami -- no surprise given Miller's platoon splits. He also sat earlier in the week against a righty starter, but Miller still looks like the favorite for starts vs. RHP down the stretch given his experience, which could prove important with the Phillies still in the postseason hunt. Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) is out for the year.

Reyes will sit Saturday against the Red Sox.

Reyes will get a rest after going 1-for-19 with 11 strikeouts in his last five games. Jose Ramirez will rest his legs as the designated hitter in his absence, with Yu Chang starting in Ramirez's usual spot at the hot corner.

Ohtani (9-1) allowed two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight across seven innings, earning the win over the Rangers on Friday. He went 0-for-4 at the plate.

Ohtani surrendered a two-run homer in the second inning to Jason Martin that tied the game. However, the Angels regained the lead as Ohtani fired five shutout innings before being relieved in the eighth. It appears his hand/wrist injury didn't affect him as he threw 117 pitches in his outing. The 26-year-old has a 2.97 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a 10.8 K/9. In addition, he is slashing .258/.358/.612, leading MLB with 42 home runs.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 11-10 loss to the Blue Jays.

He took Jordan Romano deep in the ninth inning, seemingly bailing out the A's after the bullpen squandered an 8-2 lead in the eighth inning and let the Jays tie it up, but then Sergio Romo served up a walkoff shot to Marcus Semien in the ninth. Canha has gone yard three times in the last four contests to help extend his hitting streak to seven games, but despite the hot stretch he's still batting only .237 on the season with 15 homers, 12 steals, 49 RBI and 79 runs through 514 plate appearances.

Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in a 4-3 victory versus Atlanta on Friday.

The veteran outfielder tied the game with his solo shot in the first inning and gave Colorado its first lead with a sacrifice fly in the third. He has homered in consecutive games for the second time this season, and five of his 12 long balls on the campaign have come in his past 16 contests. Over that span, Blackmon also has 17 RBI and 15 runs scored.

Ruf went 2-for-4 with two walks and a strikeout in a 3-2 triumph against the Dodgers on Friday.

Batting leadoff, Ruf singled in the first inning, walked in the third, singled in the sixth and walked in the ninth to reach base four times for the second time all season. While he isn't an everyday player, Ruf has shined when given the opportunity, evidenced by a .279/.405/.535 slash line, and his career high 16 percent BB% ranks fourth in MLB among hitters with at least 250 plate appearances.

Stanton went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a walkoff single in Friday's 4-3 extra-innings win over Baltimore.

The 31-year-old opened the scoring for the Yankees in the fourth inning. Stanton then knocked in initial runner Aaron Judge with a single in the 11th. With multiple hits in six of his last 10 games, including six homers, Stanton is crushing it at the plate. He's posted a .273/.365/.502 slash line with 26 long balls, 73 RBI and 53 runs scored across 468 plate appearances overall.

Lewis recently experienced knee soreness and won't begin a rehab assignment in the near future, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Lewis resumed running the bases early in the week but felt sore after going through a more comprehensive workout. The Mariners are hoping the 26-year-old will be able to return before the end of the season, but they'll likely exercise caution to prevent a more serious injury.

Dickerson isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Left-hander David Price is expected to serve as the primary pitcher in Friday's matchup, so Dickerson will be on the bench for a third straight game. Darin Ruf will start in left field and lead off.
