Caballero is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's series opener, but he'll get a breather for Saturday night's contest. Anthony Volpe will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Neto was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays after colliding with Ian Seymour, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Neto scored on a wild pitch during the top of the seventh inning, though he did so while colliding with pitcher Ian Seymour at the plate. Neto's head seemed to take the brunt of the impact, and he remained on the ground for a while before walking off the field with assistance. The Angels will likely put him through concussion protocol, and if he needs to spend time on the injured list, Oswald Peraza and Donovan Walton should be in the mix at shortstop.

McNeil is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Yankees on Saturday.

The Yankees are sending southpaw Ryan Weathers to the mound, so the lefty-hitting McNeil -- who has gone 1-for-19 over his last six games -- will open Saturday's contest on the bench. Alika Williams will start at second base and bat ninth.

Cortes is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Yankees on Saturday.

Cortes is out of the A's lineup for a second consecutive game, though the Yankees are sending southpaw Ryan Weathers to the mound for Saturday's contest. Colby Thomas will draw the start in right field and bat out of the leadoff spot.

Martinez was removed from Saturday's game against the Red Sox with left foot inflammation, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It's unknown whether Martinez's foot will cause him to miss time beyond Saturday, but the Guardians will likely send him in for medical testing and should provide more information soon. Stuart Fairchild entered the game as Martinez's replacement and would be the favorite to pick up starts in the outfield during his possible absence.

Shewmake was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers with right groin soreness.

Shewmake went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before leaving the game in the fifth inning. The Astros may have more information regarding the 28-year-old's status after the game. Nick Allen could be in line for reps at the keystone if Shewmake ends up needing to miss time.

Garcia was removed from Saturday's game against the Rangers with a right hamstring strain, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Garcia injured himself while running from first to third base in the seventh inning and was immediately replaced on the basepaths. The severity of his injury is unknown, though there's a strong chance that he will require a trip to the injured list, which would likely leave Nick Loftin as the next man up to start at third base for Kansas City.

The Athletics recalled Kelly from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

With Luis Severino (shoulder) headed for the injured list, Kelly will return to the majors to provide the big club with some additional bullpen depth. Since being demoted to Triple-A in early April, the 33-year-old righty has posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 14.2 innings. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage work as long as he's with the A's.

The Athletics placed Severino on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder strain.

Severino made an early exit from Friday's game due to what was originally labeled as arm soreness, but further evaluation determined the right-hander suffered a strain in his shoulder. The severity of the strain is unclear, but he'll now have to wait until at least mid-June for his next opportunity on a big-league mound. Michael Kelly will come up from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to give the A's extra bullpen depth until they need another starter.

Quero went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Tigers.

The 23-year-old catcher brought home a run in the first inning with a sacrifice fly before launching a solo shot off Framber Valdez in the seventh. Quero has started three of the last four games -- two against left-handed pitchers and one against a righty -- and may have pushed his way back into the top spot on the depth chart over Drew Romo. Since May 17, Quero is batting .346 (9-for-26) with two homers, eight RBI and nine runs in 11 games, while Romo is batting .190 (4-for-21).
