Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego.

Mountcastle will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after going 0-for-3 with two RBI in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Padres. Ryan O'Hearn will start at first base Saturday while Heston Kjerstad serves as the designated hitter.

Westburg is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Westburg will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-4 loss to San Diego. Connor Norby will get the start at second base Saturday and bat eighth against Padres right-hander Michael King.

Meyers went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored Friday against the Dodgers.

The effort marked Meyers' second multi-hit effort in a stretch of 16 consecutive games started that began July 5. He has hit only .220 in that span, though he does have three homers with eight RBI and eight runs scored.

Kiermaier isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Saturday's game versus Texas.

Kiermaier will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. In his place, Daulton Varsho will move to center field while Steward Berroa picks up a start in left.

Vosler went 1-for-5 with a two-run single and a run in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Vosler gets credit for lighting the proverbial match for what had been a completely moribund Mariners offense coming into Friday -- his timely knock that drove in Jorge Polanco and Cal Raleigh ignited what would be an eight-run first inning and 10-run night for Seattle. The recent arrival slotted in at first base in the big win, and he figures to continue splitting time there with rookie Tyler Locklear for the foreseeable future while also potentially seeing occasional time at third base or designated hitter. Vosler has hit safely in each of his first three games with the Mariners, and Friday's pair of RBI were his first in a Seattle uniform.

Jimenez isn't in Toronto's lineup Saturday versus the Rangers.

The Jays will give Jimenez a breather after he went 2-for-3 with an RBI during Friday's contest. His absence will open up second base for Davis Schneider to start while batting seventh.

Jansen isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

Jansen will take a seat after going 1-for-4 with an RBI during a win in Friday's series opener. Alejandro Kirk will get the starting nod behind the plate and bat sixth.

Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Moore uncorked the second of three straight first-inning home runs for the Mariners, slugging a 392-foot shot to left center for his ninth long ball of the season. The big hit snapped a rare 22-game homerless drought for Moore, while also serving as a temporary reprieve from the 1-for-13 skid that had encompassed his previous five games.

Guerrero went 1-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Friday's win over Texas.

The Rangers tried to pitch around the one consistent threat in the Toronto lineup, but it didn't help them in the end. Guerrero has hit safely in eight straight games, batting .464 (13-for-28) over that stretch with two doubles, five homers and eight RBI, and he's boosted his slash line on the season to .297/.370/.487 with 18 home runs and 62 RBI in 102 contests.

Singleton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Dodgers.

Singleton has been out of the Astros' lineup for only two games in July but has struggled considerably by hitting .221 with a 29.3 percent strikeout rate across 68 at-bats. He did manage his first home run in 13 starts Friday, bringing his total on the campaign to eight. The Astros haven't shown any signs of benching Singleton, though his playing time could be in danger once Kyle Tucker (shin) is able to return.
