Urshela is out of the lineup for Saturday's game versus Colorado.

Urshela is just 3-for-23 through seven games this season, and the A's will now give him a day to rest while Max Schuemann picks up a start at the hot corner and bats ninth.

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

Muncy will take a day to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-10 with four strikeouts since the start of April. Luis Urias will get the nod at second base instead and bat eighth.

The Mariners optioned Saucedo to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Saucedo has gotten off to a rough start this season, with four earned runs allowed in just 2.2 innings spanning three appearances. He'll look to right the ship in the minors; meanwhile, Jesse Hahn will come up from Triple-A to fill the vacancy in Seattle's bullpen.

The Mariners selected Hahn's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Hahn hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2021 during his time with the Royals, but he's now set to join Seattle's big-league squad to provide some bullpen depth. Tayler Saucedo was optioned to Tacoma to make room on the Mariners' roster, and Cody Bolton was DFA'd to free up a 40-man spot.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the White Sox.

Torkelson has carried over a strong spring training performance into the regular season, as he's now batting .345 with two homers and a 1.127 OPS across eight games. The 25-year-old is seeing regular playing time in the early going, and if he can sustain his hot start, Torkelson could challenge the 31 home runs and 94 RBI he recorded during his breakout 2023 campaign, giving him plenty of fantasy value.

Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the White Sox.

Carpenter made his only hit count Saturday, as he went deep for the third time in the last two games. Before the brief power surge, the outfielder had just a .488 OPS, but he's quickly boosted that figure up to .848. Carpenter posted a career-best .932 OPS to go along with 18 home runs a season ago while only playing in 87 games due to a back injury, so he could fly past that homer total if he stays healthy in 2025.

Morel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's series opener, but he'll continue to concede playing time to the white-hot Jake Mangum, who's set to start in left field Saturday and bat eighth.

Walls is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Texas, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

After going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over his last three games, Walls will get a chance to regroup Saturday while Jose Caballero starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

Caminero isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

After starting the season with a five-game hitting streak, Caminero has gone 0-for-7 over his last two games. He'll step aside Saturday for Curtis Mead to pick up a start at third base.

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

Heim and Kyle Higashioka have essentially alternated starts at catcher to begin the season, though Saturday will be the second consecutive game that Heim has begun on the bench despite going 4-for-13 with two homers in his four outings.
