Cowser isn't in the Orioles' lineup Saturday against Minnesota, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Cowser will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after slugging a solo home run during Friday's win. Heston Kjerstad, Austin Slater and Anthony Santander will form Baltimore's outfield trio while Cowser rests.

Henderson isn't in Baltimore's lineup Saturday versus the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Henderson has gone 0-for-6 since having his seven-game hitting streak snapped Thursday, and he'll get a chance to rest Saturday while Jackson Holliday starts at shortstop and bats leadoff.

Westburg isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

After going 0-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's contest, Westburg will step aside Saturday while Ramon Urias starts at second base, opening up third for Emmanuel Rivera.

Bowman will start Saturday's game against the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Bowman will be making the first start of his major-league career Saturday, as the Orioles will lean on their bullpen to get them through Saturday's contest. The 33-year-old righty owns a 4.60 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through 29.1 frames in the big leagues this season and will likely be pulled from Saturday's contest after an inning or two.

Kwan isn't in Cleveland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

Kwan will get a day to rest Saturday after going 0-for-1 with two walks and a HBP during Friday's series opener. His absence will open a spot in right field for Jhonkensy Noel to start while batting eighth.

The Twins recalled Keirsey from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

With Trevor Larnach (hamstring) set to miss the rest of the year due to a hamstring injury, Keirsey will rejoin the Twins to give the big squad some outfield depth. The 27-year-old went just 1-for-10 during his first stint in the majors.

The Twins placed Larnach on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left hamstring strain.

Larnach's injury and move to the IL will take him out for the final two games of the Twins' season. He'll close the book on 2024 with a .259/.338/.434 slash line alongside 15 homers and 52 RBI, and the Twins will call up DaShawn Keirsey to make up for the lost depth in their outfield.

Rizzo was diagnosed with a fractured finger after leaving Saturday's game against the Pirates, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Rizzo suffered the injury after getting hit in the hand by a pitch during the seventh inning. Manager Aaron Boone said after the game that Rizzo's injury doesn't necessarily rule him out for the start of New York's playoff run, and the first baseman's availability will depend on pain tolerance. That being said, it's likely he sits out Sunday's regular-season finale.

Bregman isn't in the Astros' lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Bregman will get a day off Saturday following his three-hit performance during Friday's win. Grae Kessinger will get the nod at the hot corner in Bregman's stead.

Altuve isn't in Houston's lineup Saturday versus Cleveland.

After tallying a base hit in four of his last five games, Altuve will get a day to rest Saturday while Mauricio Dubon starts at second base and bats seventh.
