Carpenter is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Yankees.

Carpenter has gone 5-for-16 with three home runs and five RBI in his four outings since being activated off the 60-day injured list Tuesday. With southpaw Carlos Rodon taking the mound for the Yankees on Saturday, Colt Keith will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot while Carpenter begins the contest in the dugout.

Sweeney is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Sweeney made his major-league debut Friday, going 1-for-3 with one strikeout. With the Yankees sending southpaw Carlos Rodon to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Sweeney will retreat to the bench. Javier Baez will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Trevino went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 3-0 victory versus the Tigers.

Trevino was activated from the injured list during New York's off day Thursday after missing over a month due to a quad injury. The backstop was given a start Friday and walked in his first plate appearance, and he followed the free pass with a surprising steal of second base. It was his first theft since 2022 and just his fourth over seven big-league campaigns. Trevino will likely work in a backup role behind Austin Wells now that he is back in action.

Meadows is absent from the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Yankees.

The lefty-hitting Meadows will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout with New York sending southpaw Carlos Rodon to the mound. Matt Vierling will start in center field and bat in the leadoff spot.

Keith (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Keith sat out of Friday's contest against the Yankees to recover from lingering soreness in his left hamstring. The 23-year-old appears to be healthy enough to play Saturday, and he will be eased back in as he works as the Tigers' designated hitter. Since the All-Star break, Keith is slashing .234/.280/.330 with seven runs scored, two home runs and six RBI across 100 plate appearances.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-0 win against Detroit on Friday.

Judge capped the scoring in the contest with a solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The slugger has gone deep in consecutive contests and in three of his past five games, and he's slashing an absurd .556/.652/1.167 during the latter span. Judge's 2024 resume includes a league-leading 44 home runs , 111 RBI and 1.175 OPS. Among qualified MLB hitters, only Bobby Witt (.352) has a higher batting average than Judge's .333 mark.

Raley went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.

The 29-year-old opened the scoring in the top of the fourth inning by taking Paul Skenes deep, Raley's fourth long ball in August and his 15th of the season. He continues to produce in his strong-side platoon role, slashing .286/.412/.750 through 34 plate appearances on the month with seven runs and nine RBI.

Gilbert (7-9) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over 6.1 innings as the Mariners fell 5-3 to the Pirates. He struck out six.

The right-hander delivered his third straight quality start and MLB-leading 20th of the season on 96 pitches (58 strikes), but it took a Cal Raleigh throwing error on a stolen-base attempt by Michael Taylor in the fifth inning to keep him under four earned runs. Through three outings in August, Gilbert has posted a 1.86 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB through 19.1 innings, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Dodgers.

Raleigh is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Raleigh has gone 0-for-11 with two walks and three strikeouts across his last three outings, and he will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout. Mitch Garver will start behind home plate and bat eighth against Pittsburgh southpaw Bailey Falter.

Canzone is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Southpaw Bailey Falter is starting for the Pirates on Saturday, which will send the lefty-hitting Canzone to the bench to start the contest. Mitch Haniger will start in right field and bat seventh.
