Bart is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

Bart has started in the Pirates' last two games after missing time due to lower-back discomfort, going 2-for-7 with two walks and one RBI over that span. He'll be in the dugout for Saturday's contest while Henry Davis starts behind home plate and bats ninth against Cleveland right-hander Ben Lively.

The Dodgers placed Treinen on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right forearm tightness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Treinen started feeling discomfort in his right forearm after his last outing against the Cubs on April 13. The hope was that some rest would improve the issue, but Treinen experienced more tightness in his forearm while warming up in the bullpen during Friday's contest against the Rangers, prompting his placement on the IL. Evan Phillips (shoulder) will be activated off the 15-day IL in a corresponding move, and he could see some save opportunities behind Tanner Scott for as long as Treinen is sidelined.

Kershaw (toe/knee) told reporters Saturday that his next rehab start will take place Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Kershaw made his first rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, tossing 30 pitches in three scoreless inning while allowing two hits and striking out two without issuing a walk. Kershaw may stay in Oklahoma City for his next rehab start or move to Double-A Tulsa depending on the weather report. The veteran southpaw continues to progress in his recovery from offseason surgery on his left knee and a left big toe injury.

McCutchen is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

McCutchen will begin Saturday's game on the bench after going 1-for-10 with one stolen base and three runs scored over his last three starts. Oneil Cruz will serve as the designated hitter while Jack Suwinski gets the start in center field.

Veen is not in Colorado's starting lineup against Washington on Saturday.

With southpaw MacKenzie Gore taking the mound for the Nationals on Saturday, Veen will start the contest in the dugout while Jordan Beck, Mickey Moniak and Sean Bouchard man the outfield. Veen has gone 3-for-28 with two walks, one RBI and 11 strikeouts this season.

Martini is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Nationals on Saturday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Martini has seen more playing time recently due to Brenton Doyle (quadriceps, bereavement) being sidelined, with the former going 5-for-10 with two walks and three runs scored over his last three games. With southpaw MacKenzie Gore on the hill for the Nationals, Martini will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout while Mickey Moniak, Jordan Beck and Sean Bouchard man the outfield.

Snell (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It was Snell's first bullpen session since he landed on the 15-day injured list April 6 due to left shoulder inflammation. The veteran southpaw noted afterward that he feels "way better" throwing now than when he attempted to pitch through the injury, and he added that he'll need at least one more bullpen and a simulated game before there's a discussion on being activated from the IL.

Steer is not in Cincinnati's starting lineup against Baltimore on Saturday.

Steer has struggled at the plate while working through a sore shoulder, going 1-for-23 with two runs scored and 10 strikeouts over his last six games. He'll begin Saturday's contest on the bench with Gavin Lux serving as the designated hitter.

Johnson suffered a knee injury during Double-A Altoona's 12-1 loss to Somerset on Friday, Jarrod Prugar of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

Johnson sustained the injury in the seventh inning after colliding with a teammate in the outfield. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, and Altoona manager Andy Fox told reporters after the game that Johnson would undergo further testing Saturday to determine the severity of the injury. Johnson has begun the year in Double-A slashing .227/.346/.318 with eight walks, five stolen bases, seven runs scored, one home run and five RBI in 52 plate appearances.
