Carlson (skin infection) won't play again in 2026, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Carlson fractured his thumb in late May but was able to return less than two months later. However, he's now dealing with a skin infection and is slated to miss the remainder of the campaign. The 20-year-old saw the bulk of his action with Single-A Kannapolis and slashed .256/.388/.338 with no homers, 36 runs, 20 RBI, 13 stolen bases and a 41:58 BB:K over 57 games.

Woo (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Woo was removed from his most recent start after 75 pitches due to shoulder soreness. The right-hander's subsequent turn in the rotation was skipped, but he was able to throw a bullpen Thursday and is slated for another Sunday. How he comes out of Sunday's session will determine how/when the Mariners put him back into their rotation, per Kramer.

Basallo isn't in the starting lineup versus Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Basallo returned Wednesday from a stint on the injured list caused by a shoulder injury and went 1-for-10 with three strikeouts while starting three straight days. He'll get a breather Saturday with Carlos Narvaez starting at catcher and Pete Alonso getting a day off his feet as the Orioles' DH.

Rodden isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs.

Rodden started seven straight contests at shortstop after getting called up Aug. 14, but he'll hit the bench Saturday despite holding his own with a .250/.321/.417 slash line and three RBI during his time in the big leagues so far. Leo Rivas is stepping in to start at shortstop Saturday.

Pena (hand) is batting leadoff and starting at shortstop against the Athletics on Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Pena missed Houston's last two games after being hit on the hand by a pitch Wednesday, but he's feeling well enough to re-enter the lineup Saturday. Nick Allen started at shortstop while Pena was out, but he's back on the bench upon the latter's return.

Baez isn't in the Tigers' starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Kansas City.

It's the second time in three days that Baez isn't starting, and he's in the midst of a 1-for-18 stretch at the plate. Kevin McGonigle is shifting over to shortstop Saturday, while Hao-Yu Lee is playing third base.

Collins isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Collins has tallied a hit in each of his last two games, but the Royals will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Tyler Tolbert will fill in as Kansas City's left fielder and bat eighth.

Weathers was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays with left forearm discomfort, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Weathers gave up two earned runs on eight hits in 3.1 innings during Saturday's contest before tweaking his forearm while throwing a pitch in the fourth. The severity of the southpaw's injury is unknown, but the Yankees should provide more information in the near future.

The Mariners selected Anderson's contract from Double-A Arkansas ahead of his start Saturday against the Cubs.

After turning in a 1.06 ERA and 0.64 WHIP while striking out 135 batters in 93.1 innings at Double-A, Anderson will skip past Triple-A and make his MLB debut Saturday. The 22-year-old lefty is viewed by many as the top pitching prospect in the sport and is likely to remain in the Mariners' rotation through the end of the season, assuming he doesn't struggle mightily during his first few major-league outings. Jhonathan Diaz was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Gimenez (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Gimenez will miss a second consecutive start Saturday after suffering a hamstring injury during Thursday's contest against the Rays. While he continues to recover, Ernie Clement will shift over to shortstop, giving Charles McAdoo a start at second base.
