Bader isn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday against the Padres.

The Mets will give Bader a day to regroup after he's gone 0-for-19 over his last nine games. While he rests, Jesse Winker, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte will make up the Mets' outfield trio.

McCoy is batting ninth and playing shortstop Saturday against the Mets.

Saturday's contest will be McCoy's third consecutive start at shortstop, as he's seemingly supplanted Tyler Wade as the Padres' replacement for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder). Since being called up Wednesday, McCoy is 3-for-8 with two runs and an RBI.

Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Wade got the first crack at shortstop duties following Ha-Seong Kim's (shoulder) injury but didn't capitalize on the opportunity, going 0-for-11 at the dish. He'll yield to Mason McCoy for a third consecutive contest Saturday and it appears as though Wade has been usurped by McCoy as the Padres' temporary starting shortstop.

Peralta is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Peralta will take a seat Friday against southpaw David Peterson and the Mets. Bryce Johnson will bat eighth and play right field in place of Peralta.

Cronenworth is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Cronenworth will avoid a matchup with southpaw David Peterson on Saturday, giving way to Luis Arraez at first base while Donovan Solano slots in at DH. It'll be Cronenworth's first time out of the lineup since Aug. 7

Soler isn't in Atlanta's lineup Saturday versus the Nationals, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Atlanta will give Soler a day to rest Saturday as the team attempts to ease him back into playing after he missed over a week with a hamstring injury. He'll be replaced in right field by Ramon Laureano, who will bat sixth.

Murphy isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Murphy has gone 4-for-23 with nine strikeouts over his last seven games. He'll get a breather Saturday as Travis d'Arnaud makes his return from a wrist injury that caused him to sit out for a week.

D'Arnaud (wrist) will start at catcher and bat fifth Saturday against Washington, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

After missing Atlanta's last five games due to wrist soreness that stemmed from an HBP last Saturday, d'Arnaud will now make his return to the starting lineup. The 35-year-old backstop has appeared in nine games this month, going 5-for-28 with two homers and seven RBI.

The Reds selected Kelly's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

After spending the last six seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization with the LG Twins, Kelly signed a minor-league contract with Cincinnati on Aug. 8. Across his two starts with Louisville, he gave up four runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out two over eight innings. When Kelly takes the mound for the Reds, it'll mark the first time Kelly has pitched in MLB since 2018. Right-hander Alan Busenitz was designated for assignment by Cincinnati in a corresponding move.

Marte is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

For the month of August, Marte is slashing .230/.242/.377 with seven runs scored, two home runs, five RBI and a 32.3 percent strikeout rate over 62 plate appearances. Santiago Espinal is starting at third base and batting eighth.
