The Phillies transferred Turnbull (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.

The move makes room on the 40-man roster for Tyler Gilbert, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Turnbull landed on the 15-day injured list June 27 due to a right lat strain, and his move to the 60-day IL confirms that he won't be ready for activation until at least the final week of August. Whenever he eventually rejoins the big club, Turnbull is expected to work out of the bullpen for the remainder of the season. He has been limited to bullpen sessions since the start of August and has yet to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment.

The Phillies optioned Phillips to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

After starting his MLB career with a 1.80 ERA and 19:2 K:BB over his four outings, Phillips has turned in a 13.91 ERA and 2.27 WHIP across 11 innings over his last three starts. He'll go back down to Triple-A to iron out the kinks, with the Phillies calling up Tyler Gilbert from Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move to provide a fresh arm out of the bullpen. Ranger Suarez (back) is closing in on a return from the injured list and should fill the spot in the rotation that had belonged to Phillips.

The Phillies selected Gilbert's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Gilbert was acquired by the Phillies from the Reds back in May. Across his 26 outings with Lehigh Valley this season, he's registered six saves with a 2.45 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 45:6 K:BB across 33 innings. Tyler Phillips was optioned to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Taylor (groin) kicked off a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI double.

Taylor went on the injured list July 25 due to a left groin strain, and he's well past the minimum IL stay. It's not clear how long the utility man's rehab assignment will last, and he may not receive consistent playing time upon his return to the Dodgers. Since Taylor landed on the IL, Mookie Betts has returned from a hand injury, Gavin Lux has nailed down an everyday role at second base and Kevin Kiermaier has joined the team via trade. Both Tommy Edman (wrist/ankle) and Max Muncy (oblique) are also currently in the midst of rehab stints and could be activated ahead of Taylor.

Marsh is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Nationals.

Left-hander MacKenzie Gore is starting Saturday, which marks the Phillies' third straight game against an opposing lefty starter. Marsh will begin the contest in the dugout while Weston Wilson and Johan Rojas start in left and center field, respectively.

Stott is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

The lefty-hitting Stott will take a seat Saturday with the Nationals sending left-hander MacKenzie Gore to the mound. Edmundo Sosa will start at second base and bat eighth.

The Rockies outrighted Pint to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Pint has given up eight runs on five hits and five walks across 3.1 innings in his four major-league outings this season. He was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday before being moved off the 40-man roster a couple days later.

Marte (ankle) is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the leadoff spot for Saturday's game against the Rays, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Marte has sat out Arizona's last three games after being diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain Tuesday. He'll return to the lineup Saturday and avoid fielding duties as he plays DH while Kevin Newman starts at second base.

Borucki (wrist) will start his rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Borucki, who has been on the injured list since early April due to carpal tunnel syndrome in his left wrist, was shut down from his throwing program at the beginning of August after suffering a setback. He appears to have recovered enough to return to a live setting, and the hope for the 30-year-old is that he'll be available out of Pittsburgh's bullpen for the tail end of the regular season.

The Pirates recalled Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Andrew McCutchen (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Williams has previously appeared in 25 games for the Pirates this season, producing a slash line of .210/.246/.290 with three RBI across 69 plate appearances. He'll likely serve as a depth piece in the infield behind Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Oneil Cruz and Ke'Bryan Hayes.
