Hamilton is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Dodgers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Hamilton will take a seat as the Red Sox square off with left-hander Justin Wrobleski. Jamie Westbrook will take over at second base and bat seventh against Los Angeles.

Dunning (shoulder) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Dunning has been on the 15-day injured list since July 5 as a result of right shoulder soreness, but he's now one step closer to his return to the big leagues. The right-hander pitched two scoreless innings in his only rehab start with Double-A Frisco on Sunday and it's possible that Dunning will only need one outing with Round Rock before being activated from the IL.

Hill was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday.

Hill will now be placed on waivers and if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely report to Triple-A Round Rock. The 28-year-old compiled a .256 average with three home runs, five RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases over 43 at-bats after being called up to the major-league roster May 21.

Foscue was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Foscue will make his return to the big leagues after missing two months with an oblique injury and then being optioned to Triple-A on June 20 upon activation from the 60-day injured list. The 25-year-old produced a .242 average with three home runs, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base over 19 games with Round Rock after his activation. Foscue will provide the Rangers with a depth option behind Marcus Semien at second base and Josh Smith a third base on the major-league roster with Texas.

Toro (hamstring) had his rehab assignment shifted to Triple-A Las Vegas and will play at least two games with the Aviators before being re-evaluated, the Associated Press reports.

Toro played three games for the ACL Athletics during the All-Star break and went 3-for-8 with a grand slam and two walks over that span. Now that the rest of the minor-league affiliates are back in action, the team wants to see how Toro does against a higher caliber of competition this weekend before evaluating him for possible activation from an IL stint that dates back to June 21.

Trout (knee) is headed to Arizona on Saturday to face live pitching at the Angels' spring training complex, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout is expected to spend two days in Arizona before launching a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. The outfielder has been sidelined since April 30 while recovering from a torn meniscus in his left knee, but he could return to the Angels' lineup as soon as Thursday at home versus the Athletics.

Ruiz (wrist) was pulled off his rehab assignment Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Ruiz continues to feel discomfort in his injured left wrist, and he will be re-evaluated by a doctor Monday. The outfielder has been out since late May with a strained left wrist and appeared to be on the cusp of an activation from the 10-day injured list, but his status moving forward is now uncertain.

Wilson (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Sunday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Wilson exited Friday's 13-3 victory over the Angels in the fourth inning with a strained hamstring and his status moving forward is currently up in the air. Once the team receives the results of Sunday's MRI, a decision will be made on if the 22-year-old will head to the injured list or not.

Hiura will sit Saturday versus the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Hiura will head to the bench after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Luis Guillorme will make his return to the lineup after a two-game absence with back tightness, starting at second base and batting ninth against Oakland.

Drury is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Drury will get a day off after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 13-3 loss. Anthony Rendon will take over at third base while Willie Calhoun enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats fourth against Oakland.
