Jansen isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jansen will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-2 with a home run, two runs scored and two walks in Friday's blowout victory. Matt Thaiss will start at catcher instead and bat ninth.

Mullins isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Mullins struck out three times in four at-bats during Friday's contest and will now receive a day off to regroup. While he rests, Ramon Laureano, Colton Cowser and Tyler O'Neill will start across the outfield for the O's.

Baez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Rangers.

Baez collected a single and a stolen base during a loss in Friday's contest, and he'll now grab a seat on the bench while Trey Sweeney gets the nod to start at shortstop.

Dingler isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.

The Tigers will give Dingler a day to rest Saturday after he went 0-for-2 with a walk in Friday's series opener. Jake Rogers will take over behind the dish and bat eighth.

Dominguez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Dominguez will step out of the lineup after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Cody Bellinger will shift to left field as a result, opening up center field for Trent Grisham.

The Athletics activated Waldichuk (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Waldichuk underwent Tommy John surgery last May and had spent all season on the injured list up to this point. He kicked off a minor-league rehab assignment in late June and tallied a 7.63 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB over 15.1 innings spanning six appearances between Single-A Stockton and Las Vegas. The lefty threw 141 frames for the Athletics in 2023 and could certainly make his way back to the big club in due time, but he'll likely first need to harness his control issues in the minors before getting a look in the MLB rotation.

Duran isn't starting against the Cubs on Saturday.

The Cubs are sending southpaw Shota Imanaga to the mound, so the lefty-hitting Duran will be on the bench to begin the contest. Duran has a poor .564 OPS against lefties this season. Rob Refsnyder is getting the start in left field for Boston on Saturday.

Kwan (wrist) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus the Athletics.

Kwan is sitting out a second straight game due to a right wrist injury. The veteran outfielder was able to participate in Tuesday's All-Star Game, going 1-for-2 with an RBI and a stolen base, but the wrist issue had reportedly been bothering him since before that contest. With Kwan sitting Saturday, the Guardians' starting outfield consists of Nolan Jones, Angel Martinez and Johnathan Rodriguez from left to right.

Butler isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Cleveland.

The lefty-hitting Butler will take a seat to begin the game against Guardians southpaw Logan Allen. Brent Rooker is starting in right field for the Athletics, while Shea Langeliers is getting a day off his feet as the DH.

O'Hoppe is not starting Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe started behind the plate Friday in the Angels' first game of the second half and went 2-for-4 with a triple. However, he's stepping aside Saturday while Travis d'Arnaud gets a turn at catcher.
