Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Lopez had been on the taxi squad and was officially added ahead of Saturday's game, replacing George Springer (elbow) on the roster. While Lopez does not pack a big offensive punch, he can help out all across the diamond, at least until the Blue Jays need to swap him out for a fresh bullpen arm.

Edman was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Nolan Gorman is now at second base for St. Louis, though a reason for the swap was not immediately available. Denton notes that Edman has dealt with a minor hip issue at times this season. Edman played all nine innings in Friday's win over New York.

Crawford (knee) was activated from the injured list Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants' lineup for Saturday is still pending, but Crawford and Joc Pederson (concussion) will likely be in there to face right-hander Adam Oller after both were reinstated to the active roster. Following a resurgent campaign last year, Crawford's numbers have plummeted again in his age-35 season (.215/.297/.332 with five home runs and one stolen base).

Diaz (finger) will bat sixth and play shortstop Saturday against the Guardians.

Diaz missed Friday's game with a sore left ring finger, but the issue was evidently a minor one. He'll return to the lineup to give the slumping Jeremy Pena a rest.

Pena will sit Saturday against Cleveland.

Pena sits after starting nine straight games, a stretch in which he struggled to a .356 OPS while going hitless six times. Aledmys Diaz (finger) will get the start at shortstop.

Fletcher (foot) remains on the bench for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against Seattle.

Previous reports indicated that Fletcher would return from his sore foot Saturday, but that evidently won't be happening until the nightcap. Luis Rengifo will be the second baseman in the afternoon contest.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Perdomo fought off a 3-2 cutter from Alex Colome and dumped it into right field, plating the game-tying and go-ahead runs in the bottom of the eighth. An inning later, he made a lunging play in the field to secure the win for Arizona. It was a hopeful sequence for the young shortstop whose batting average hovers is at .201 through 96 games. He also has a DRS of minus-6, ranking him as one of the Diamondbacks' worst defenders this year.

Bogaerts went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Fridays' 7-4 win over the Royals.

All four of Bogaerts' hits were singles. He scored in the fourth inning and drove in a run in the fifth to help build Boston's lead. The shortstop has just three multi-hit efforts in his last 13 games, but he's batting .327 (16-for-49) in that span. For the season, he's up to a .315/.388/.459 slash line with nine home runs, 47 RBI, 59 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 103 contests.

Fletcher, who is not in Friday's lineup, is dealing with a sore foot but is expected to be OK for Saturday's game, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Fletcher was out of Thursday's lineup but then got hit on the foot by a pitch in a pinch-hit situation. Phil Gosselin got the start in his absence Friday.

Fletcher is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners.

Fletcher wasn't in Thursday's lineup either but he appeared off the bench. Luis Rengifo will start at the keystone while Phil Gosselin starts at the hot corner.
