  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Trending toward Monday return

    Suarez (shoulder) could be activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Suarez has been on the IL since late March with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder, but he's on the cusp of rejoining the big club. The 35-year-old right-hander began a rehab assignment Aug. 12 and has since given up five earned runs over 12.2 innings while striking out five batters and walking six over five appearances between Double-A Chesapeake and Triple-A Norfolk. He had built up to five innings by his third rehab outing but has been limited to less than two frames in both of his last two appearances, which indicates that the Orioles plan to use him out of the bullpen once he's activated.

  • Brett Harris 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Brett Harris: Riding pine Saturday

    Harris isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Harris will miss a second consecutive start since going 2-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored during Wednesday's game against Detroit. Darell Hernaiz will get the nod at third base instead and bat eighth.

  • Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Remaining out Saturday

    Kurtz (oblique) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.

    Oblique soreness forced Kurtz to make an early exit from Friday's game, and the issue is apparently severe enough to keep him from playing Saturday as well. While the 22-year-old rookie takes a day to recover, Tyler Soderstrom will shift to first base with Carlos Cortes patrolling left field.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Resting Saturday

    Baez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

    After collecting a base hit and scoring a run during Friday's win, Baez will retreat to the dugout Saturday with Riley Greene, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter in the outfield for the Tigers.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Idle Saturday

    McKinstry isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    McKinstry will sit down Saturday after making seven consecutive starts, going 7-for-24 with a homer, three RBI and four runs scored in the process. Trey Sweeney will take his place at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Cody Poteet RP | BAL

    Orioles' Cody Poteet: Activated, outrighted to Norfolk

    The Orioles reinstated Poteet (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and sent him outright to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Poteet surrendered five earned runs in 2.2 innings during his lone appearance of the season for the Orioles on April 20, and he landed on the injured list shortly afterward with right shoulder inflammation. Now fully healthy, he'll stay put in the minor leagues while also giving up his spot on the Orioles' 40-man roster. If he bounces back well at Norfolk, the 31-year-old righty may receive another look with Baltimore at some point in September.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Getting Saturday off

    Stanton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Stanton will receive a day off Saturday after going 0-for-7 with a run scored and three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. It will instead be Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger in the outfield for New York, with Aaron Judge working as the DH.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Out of lineup Saturday

    Moore isn't in the starting nine against Houston on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Moore has recently seen his playing time surge back up, as he came into Saturday having started four of the Angels' previous five games, going 4-for-15 with a home run during that span. However, he'll begin on the bench Saturday while Luis Rengifo starts at second base.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Not in lineup after Friday's HBP

    Arias (wrist) isn't starting against Seattle on Saturday.

    Arias was hit on the right wrist by a pitch during Friday's contest and had to leave the game. He took X-rays that came back negative, but the versatile IF/OF will nonetheless begin on the bench Saturday. Brayan Rocchio is starting at shortstop in his stead.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Not starting Saturday

    India is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Detroit.

    India had started in each of the Royals' past 12 games, batting a paltry .179 (7-for-39) with one home run and three RBI during that stretch. He'll get at least a partial day to reset Saturday while Michael Massey plays second base and Adam Frazier serves as the DH.
