Calhoun will sit Saturday versus the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Calhoun will take a seat as the Angels face southpaw David Peterson on the mound. Matt Thaiss will take over at designated hitter and bat eighth against New York.

Rengifo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo was removed from Friday's 5-1 loss early with right wrist irritation and he'll be forced to sit out Saturday. Brandon Drury will slide over to third base while Michael Stefanic enters the lineup at second base and bats ninth against New York.

Moniak is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moniak will get a breather as the team faces left-hander David Peterson on the mound for New York. Kevin Pillar will take over in center field and bat fourth Saturday.

Raley isn't in the Mariners' lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Raley will get a breather Saturday after belting a three-run homer during a win in Friday's series opener. While he rests, Mitch Haniger will start in right field with Mitch Garver serving as Seattle's designated hitter.

Polanco (knee) will start at second base and bat fifth Saturday against the Phillies.

Polanco was forced to sit out Friday's series opener after exiting Wednesday's game due to a knee injury, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. The 31-year-old infielder has put up a career-worst batting average (.210) and OPS (.644) through 289 plate appearances this season, but he's begun to heat up lately, slashing .273/.340/.682 with five homers and nine RBI since the All-Star break.

Hendriks (elbow) was cleared to face live hitters Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

After spending the past month throwing two bullpen sessions every week, Hendriks has finally received the green light to throw live batting practice. The plan is for him to throw his first session of live BP on Tuesday at Triple-A Worcester. Once he completes two additional sessions, the Red Sox will likely send him out on a rehab assignment.

O'Neill is away from the team while dealing with an illness Saturday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

O'Neill is absent from the Red Sox lineup Saturday, which is now understood to be the result of him feeling under the weather. The 29-year-old is not at the ballpark with the team in Texas, and it's unclear how long he could be sidelined. O'Neill can be considered to be day-to-day for the time being.

Correa (heel) jogged and participated in fielding drills Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Although the plantar fasciitis in Correa's right heel has lingered longer than initially expected, he said Saturday that he has started to feel much better over the past few days. Once he's able to sprint without any pain, he will head on a minor-league rehab assignment, though the Twins haven't yet provided an estimate for when that may commence.

Hernandez was added to the Mariners' major-league roster Saturday.

Hernandez was claimed off waivers by Seattle on Friday after he was designated for assignment by the Rangers earlier in the week. He will now join Seattle's bullpen ahead of the second game of their series at home against the Phillies. Hernandez has produced a 5.05 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with 36 strikeouts over 41 innings in 26 appearances with the Rangers this season.

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

Diaz gave up two earned runs in his two appearances after being promoted from Triple-A on Tuesday. He'll now lose his spot in Seattle's bullpen to make room for Jonathan Hernandez, who was claimed off waivers from Texas on Friday.
