Barriera exited Saturday's start for Low-A Dunedin with an apparent left arm injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Barriera threw a pitch, got the ball back, walked behind the mound and fired the ball into the ground in frustration before walking off the field with the trainer. It's not clear exactly what he's dealing with, but it's worth noting the left-hander dealt with an elbow issue for a big chunk of last season.

The Astros transferred Sousa (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Houston needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jacob Amaya. Sousa underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery earlier this week and will miss the rest of the season.

The Astros acquired Amaya from the Marlins on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations and Valente Bellozo, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Amaya was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Amaya, 25, is a glove-first shortstop who has mostly just kept his head above water in the minors with his bat, although he has displayed decent on-base skills. He should get regular reps at shortstop with Sugar Land and offers solid depth at the position in the event something happens to Jeremy Pena.

Yoshida isn't in Boston's lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Yoshida will get a day off Saturday despite putting together a three-game hitting streak and recording a hit in seven of his first eight games. Bobby Dalbec will fill in as the Sox's DH and bat fifth.

Story (shoulder) isn't in Boston's lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Story's absence Saturday isn't too surprising considering how much pain he was in as he walked off the field Friday. The Red Sox have yet to provide any details on his shoulder since then, but more information regarding the nature of his injury and a potential return timeline will likely come out in the near future.

McGuire isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

McGuire belted a home run during Friday's win against the Halos and will now sit out the second game of the series. Connor Wong will take over as Boston's backstop and bat eighth.

Rengifo (head) is starting at second base Saturday against the Red Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rengifo has been sidelined for the past few days after leaving Wednesday's contest due to lightheadedness. The issue has seemingly subsided ahead of Saturday's contest, so the 27-year-old will give Brandon Drury a breather and look to tally a hit in his third consecutive game.

Drury isn't in the Angels' lineup for Saturday's contest against the Red Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Drury will get a breather Saturday after slashing .160/.250/.160 through his first seven games. Luis Rengifo (head) will return to cover second base while batting seventh.

Caballero isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game versus Colorado, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caballero has registered a base hit in six of the seven games he's played in this year, and he'll now catch a day off. Amed Rosario will get a chance to start at shortstop Saturday while batting seventh.

Pinto isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Pinto has struck out in each of his last five at-bats since Tuesday, so he'll get a day to regroup Saturday. Ben Rortvedt will fill in behind the dish and bat eighth.
