Thomas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Thomas went 1-for-5 with a double and four strikeouts in Friday's series opener, and the Guardians will now give him a chance to collect himself with a day off Saturday. Daniel Schneemann will start in center field instead and bat seventh.

Fitts and the Red Sox won't play the Cardinals as scheduled Saturday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Saturday's game will be made up in a doubleheader Sunday, and it's likely that Fitts will take the mound in one of those two contests. The 25-year-old righty gave up three earned runs in six innings during his first start of the season March 30 in Texas, and he remains in pursuit of his first career win.

Raley isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Raley and his .572 career OPS against left-handers will stay put in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's game, as Robbie Ray is due to toe the slab for San Francisco. Cal Raleigh will serve as Seattle's designated hitter while Raley sits, allowing Mitch Garver to start behind the plate and bat fifth.

Polanco isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Giants.

Polanco will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after going 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in Friday's extra-innings loss. While he rests, Dylan Moore will pick up a start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Tellez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco.

The lefty-hitting Tellez will retreat to the bench Saturday as the Mariners prepare to face southpaw Robbie Ray. Donovan Solano will draw a start at first base as a result and bat sixth.

Newman is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Newman has been losing quite a bit of playing time recently due to his poor start, though he finally managed to log his first hit of the new season during Friday's loss. Tim Anderson will start in Newman's place at shortstop Saturday and bat ninth.

Moncada (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moncada aggravated his injured thumb during Friday's game. It will officially cost him at least one start, though there's a chance the Angels will send him to the injured list until his thumb is no longer an issue. While the team weighs its options, Luis Rengifo will move to third base to cover for Moncada, and Kyren Paris will pick up a start at second.

Rengifo (hamstring) will start at third base and bat second Saturday against the Guardians, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rengifo was forced to make an early exit from Friday's contest due to left hamstring soreness, but the injury won't end up causing him to miss any starts. The 28-year-old has struggled to find his swing thus far in 2025, going just 5-for-25 through the Angels' first seven games.

Abreu was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

It's unclear if Abreu's removal from the lineup is due to an injury or simply the team wanting to give him a breather after Friday's three-hit effort, but Boston should offer some clarity on the situation in the near future. In the meantime, Rob Refsnyder will patrol right field and bat sixth.

Andujar isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Andujar is 4-for-12 with a run scored during his brief three-game hitting streak, but the Athletics will give him a breather Saturday. Seth Brown will fill the void in left field and bat seventh.
