The Dodgers claimed Robinson off waivers Saturday.

Robinson was DFA'd by the Angels on Wednesday, but he'll remain in Los Angeles after being picked up by the Dodgers. The 30-year-old catcher slashed .272/.315/.388 with one home run and 18 RBI over 112 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake this season. Robinson will likely remain in the minors, but he could receive a call up to the big leagues if Will Smith or Dalton Rushing were to miss time. Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move to make room on the 40-man roster for Robinson.

Manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that Hodge's (oblique) recovery has been slowed down by a hip impingement, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

The Cubs skipper noted that the oblique strain that put Hodge on the IL in the first place has been fully resolved, though the reliever's newest injury makes it unclear when he might be ready to return. The team will try to have him throw off a mound again during the week, and he'll require a few rehab outings before being activated.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Harper (elbow) will try to swing a bat during batting practice before Saturday's game against the Brewers, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

Thomson relayed that Harper's right elbow is more bruised, though the swelling has drastically improved since he was hit by a pitch against Atlanta on Tuesday. Harper is out of the Phillies' lineup for a fourth consecutive game, but the expectation is that the All-Star first baseman will avoid a stint on the injured list. Alec Bohm will start at first base and bat in the cleanup spot against Milwaukee on Saturday.

Zastryzny will be available out of the bullpen Saturday versus Philadelphia, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The Brewers initially planned to use Zastryzny as an opener Saturday, but they'll now run with Chad Patrick as their starter. Zastryzny has yet to allow a run in five innings since returning to Milwaukee.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey will rest Saturday after turning in his first multi-hit performance since May 6 during Friday's series opener. His absence will put Sam Huff behind the plate and ninth in the batting order.

Collins is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Phillies on Saturday.

Collins will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after going 0-for-4 with one walk, two steals and two strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Daz Cameron (knee) will start in left field and bat fifth.

Cameron (knee) is starting in left field and batting fifth against the Phillies on Saturday.

Cameron has been out of the Brewers' lineup since bruising his left knee during Monday's game against the Red Sox. He did pinch run for Milwaukee against Boston on Wednesday and has been cleared to return to the lineup. Cameron has gone 2-for-21 with one RBI, one steal and a 40.9 percent strikeout rate this season.

The Rockies designated Schunk for assignment Saturday.

The move corresponds with the Rockies selecting Keston Hiura's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque while optioning Michael Toglia to Triple-A. Schunk saw regular work with the Rockies in late April before landing on the 10-day injured list due to a groin injury. He made 11 major-league appearances for Colorado and went 6-for-28 with one double and a 27.6 percent strikeout rate over that span.

Vientos isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Vientos will take a seat Saturday after striking out in all three of his at-bats during Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Jared Young to serve as New York's DH and bat sixth.

The Rockies selected Hiura's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Hiura wasn't able to crack the Rockies' Opening Day roster and started the season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .243/.360/.467 with nine home runs and 31 RBI in 200 plate appearances. With Michael Toglia being optioned to Triple-A, Kyle Farmer will likely take over as the Rockies' everyday first baseman while Hiura provides depth at the position.
