Jonathan Singleton DH | HOU
Astros' Jon Singleton: On bench against LHP
Singleton is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
Singleton will dodge a same-side matchup with lefty Reid Detmers, yielding to Victor Caratini at first base. Singleton is slashing .238/.319/.392 on the year, and he's 8-for-22 (.364) in his last eight games.

Jason Heyward LF | SD
Astros' Jason Heyward: Idle Saturday
Heyward is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
The lefty-hitting Heyward will take a seat Saturday against southpaw Reid Detmers and the Halos. In his last seven games, Heyward is 7-for-20 (.350) with two home runs. Mauricio Dubon will bat ninth and play left field.

Mickey Gasper DH | BOS
Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Returns to Boston
The Red Sox recalled Gasper from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Gasper will serve as the roster replacement for Rafael Devers (shoulder), who landed on the 10-day injured list. The former has spent the majority of the season in the minors, slashing an impressive .328/.439/.531 with 12 homers and 58 RBI across 380 plate appearances between Double-A and Triple-A, though he doesn't project to see much playing time while in Boston.

Dane Dunning SP | SEA
Rangers' Dane Dunning: Fill-in starter
Dunning is listed as the probable pitcher for Saturday's game against the Mariners.
Dunning replaces Max Scherzer (undisclosed) as the Rangers' starter. Dunning will be making his first MLB appearance since Aug. 30, but the 29-year-old is relatively stretched out, having thrown between 56 and 72 pitches in his last three appearances with Triple-A Round Rock. He has a 5.03 ERA and 74:31 K:BB across 68 innings in 14 starts with the Rangers this season.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Lands on injured list
The Red Sox placed Devers on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left shoulder inflammation, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Devers received an MRI on both of his shoulders Saturday and will officially land on the IL with a left shoulder issue, even though manager Alex Cora said Friday that the third baseman's right shoulder was the main concern. Either way, his move to the injured list will officially put an early end to his season. Romy Gonzalez and Nick Sogard will split reps at third base the rest of the way, and Mickey Gasper will come up from Triple-A Worcester to fill the open spot on the active roster.

Max Scherzer SP | TOR
Rangers' Max Scherzer: Scratched from start
Scherzer will not start as scheduled Saturday versus the Mariners due to a possible injury, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Scherzer recently missed more than a month due to shoulder problems, though the team's reason for pulling him off his start Saturday remains unknown. Dane Dunning will start against Seattle in Scherzer's place.

Brandon Drury 2B | KC
Angels' Brandon Drury: Sitting Saturday
Drury is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.
Drury is absent from the starting nine for a second straight game, yielding to Jack Lopez at second base. Drury had started two consecutive games after missing five straight contests with a hamstring injury. It's unclear if his back-to-back absences are related to the hamstring injury.
-
Jordyn Adams CF | MIL
Angels' Jordyn Adams: Idle again Saturday
Adams (knee) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.
Adams was scratched from Friday's lineup due to right knee soreness and is out of the starting nine once again Saturday. The severity of the injury is unclear, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Adams get Sunday off as well considering the Angels have a team off day Monday. Gustavo Campero will bat eighth and play right field Saturday.
-
Mickey Moniak LF | COL
Angels' Mickey Moniak: Back in lineup
Moniak (hand) is batting sixth and playing center field Saturday against the Astros.
Moniak hasn't logged an at-bat since being hit in the hand by a pitch Sept. 15, but his inclusion in the lineup Saturday indicates he's over the injury. The center fielder is slashing .222/.226/.386 in 402 plate appearances this season.

Lou Trivino RP | PHI
Yankees' Lou Trivino: Extends rehab assignment
Trivino (elbow) agreed in mid-September to extend his minor-league rehab assignment an additional 10 days, per MLB.com.
Trivino continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery performed last May and a bout of right elbow inflammation that sprung up this April. Though he has a 4.91 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 11 rehab appearances, the veteran reliever has pitched three consecutive scoreless outings during which he's posted a 3:3 K:BB over 3.2 innings. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sept. 14 that Trivino has been "building a lot of good momentum," and there's still a chance the right-hander could join the New York bullpen before the end of the season.
