Bellinger isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

Bellinger will take a day to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-8 over his last two contests. Jasson Dominguez will start in left field instead and bat seventh.

Chisholm (groin) will start at third base and bat fifth against the Red Sox on Saturday.

Chisholm sat out back-to-back contests after injuring his groin Wednesday, but a few days of rest has him feeling well enough to return to the starting nine. The 27-year-old infielder has been great since the start of June, going 9-for-26 (.346) with two homers and seven RBI in his last eight games.

O'Neill received an injection in his left shoulder Saturday and will pause all activity for about a week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

O'Neill was pulled off his rehab assignment this week after reporting renewed soreness in his shoulder, which has kept him on the injured list since mid-May. The veteran outfielder appeared close to making his return to the Orioles, but it's now unclear how much longer he's expected to be sidelined. His status should be updated at the end of the rest period.

Flaherty (5-7) allowed seven runs on five hits and five walks across 4.2 innings to take the loss Saturday against the Reds. He struck out five.

Flaherty was coming off a strong three-start stretch during which he allowed just one run across 18 innings and was the winning pitcher in all three games, but Saturday was a different story, as his ERA climbed from 3.41 to 4.03. The righty was taken deep three times, and the five walks and seven earned runs were new season worsts. On a more positive note, Flaherty now has 90 strikeouts in 76 innings this year, which is good for sixth in the American League. He will look to get back on track in his next appearance, which is currently penciled in for Friday against the Rays on the road.

O'Hearn is no longer in Saturday's starting lineup versus the Angels due to left ankle discomfort, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

O'Hearn was clipped on his left ankle while taking a throw at first base Friday, and he has some discomfort as a result. It's not yet clear if the infielder/outfielder will be available off the bench or if his absence will extend beyond one game. O'Hearn was originally slated to start in right field Saturday, but Ramon Laureano will shift there from left field instead, while Dylan Carlson is now in the starting lineup in left.

Anthony isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Anthony hasn't yet been able to get going with the bat since getting called up Monday, as he's logged just one hit (a double) across 17 plate appearances. The rookie outfielder does have three RBI and a promising 2:4 BB:K, so he hasn't been as overwhelmed as the .067 batting average may imply. With Anthony taking a seat Saturday, Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Rob Refsnyder will serve as Boston's starting outfielders from left to right.

Santander (shoulder) isn't ready to resume hitting but will begin throwing this week, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Santander has been out of action since landing on the injured list in late May due to left shoulder inflammation. The veteran outfielder received a PRP injection in early June but hasn't yet progressed to a point where the Blue Jays want him to start swinging a bat. With that in mind, Santander's activation doesn't appear to be imminent. At this point, there's not a clear timeline for when he will begin hitting again.

The White Sox promoted Schultz from Double-A Birmingham to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Though Schultz has struggled with his control in the minors this season, posting a 14.4 percent walk rate and 1.57 WHIP over 61.2 innings, he's managed a 3.06 ERA and has struck out 63 batters in Double-A ball. That's good enough to earn him a promotion to the top level of the minors, moving him a step closer to making his major-league debut. Schultz is one of the league's top lefty pitching prospects and could reach the majors before the end of the current campaign if he fares well with Charlotte.

Jansen is not starting Saturday against the Mets, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Jansen will begin on the bench after starting behind the plate and swatting a two-run homer Friday in the first game of the series. Matt Thaiss is starting at catcher and batting seventh for the Rays on Saturday.

Soler isn't in the starting lineup Saturday against Baltimore.

Soler missed two games recently due to a groin injury but returned to the lineup Tuesday and had started each of the Angels' previous three games entering Saturday, going 2-for-12 with two RBI and seven strikeouts during that span. There's no indication that the veteran outfielder has aggravated the groin issue, so for now his absence Saturday appears to be just a day off his feet. Recent acquisition LaMonte Wade is starting in right field against the Orioles in Soler's stead.
