The Diamondbacks removed Marte from Saturday's game against the Phillies with a left ankle contusion.

Garrett Stubbs slid through second base and into Marte's left leg while Marte was receiving a throw from left field and applying the tag, causing Marte to go down in a heap of pain. He was able to walk off the diamond under his own power but sported a noticeable limp. Prior to walking off, Marte was seen grabbing at his ankle. The All-Star second baseman will likely be evaluated Saturday night, and an update on his health should be provided prior to Sunday's series finale at 4:10 ET.

Nunez (forearm) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nunez hasn't thrown a bullpen since going on the shelf July 26, so Sunday's session marks a significant step in the 28-year-old's recovery from a strained right forearm. Nunez became eligible for reinstatement Thursday and was initially expected to be back shortly after the minimum 15 days. However, he's behind schedule and will likely require multiple bullpens before being activated.

Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday and then rejoin the Dodgers to throw live batting practice later on in the week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Yamamoto has already completed multiple side sessions, and assuming all goes well during Tuesday's workout, he'll move on to the next phase of his rehab program by facing batters for the first time since going on the injured list June 16. The 25-year-old is still a week or more away from beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, and he's likely to require multiple outings on the farm to build up his pitch count and get stretched back out for starting duty. Yamamoto worked up to 30 pitches in his most recent bullpen session.

Atlanta returned Ynoa (elbow) from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday due to right shoulder tightness, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Ynoa underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2022 and pitched during spring training before starting the season at Triple-A Gwinnett. However, he was moved back on the injured list with elbow inflammation in late April and had completed five rehab outings before being returned Saturday with a shoulder injury. It's unclear how severe the setback will be, but Ynoa had thrown at least three innings in three consecutive minor-league outings and seemed close to being activated. In those three appearances, Ynoa allowed just one run with eight strikeouts across 9.2 innings .

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Buehler (hip) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Buehler initially looked to be tracking toward a return from the IL for Thursday's series finale with the Brewers, but he'll instead face Milwaukee a day earlier for what will be his first MLB outing since June 18. The right-hander made three rehab starts at Triple-A Oklahoma City, and after giving up eight runs in 7.1 innings between his first two starts, he appeared to right the ship in his final outing in the Pacific Coast League on Thursday. Buehler built up to 85 pitches Thursday, covering 5.1 innings and striking out five while allowing one hit and three walks. Before going on the injured list with right hip inflammation, the 29-year-old logged a 5.84 ERA with a 31:10 K:BB across 37 innings over his eight starts.

Winker is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Despite right-hander Logan Gilbert being on the mound for Seattle, Winker will yield to Tyrone Taylor in right field. Since being traded to New York near the deadline, Winker is 7-for-24 (.292) with one run and one RBI.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Saturday that Quantrill is dealing with general forearm soreness and will not start Monday's game against Arizona as previously planned, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

The Rockies had already pushed back Quantrill's start from Saturday to Monday, but it's now unknown when he'll make his next start. Quantrill's forearm soreness stems from his most recent outing Aug. 4, when he allowed three runs across 4.1 innings against the Padres. The right-hander should be expected to undergo further testing in the coming days, but for now, the Rockies don't seem to think that Quantrill will need to go on the injured list.

McCutchen is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

McCutchen is absent from the starting nine for a third consecutive game, an interesting development for the 37-year-old, who has operated as Pittsburgh's everyday DH. It's possible McCutchen is dealing with an injury, but there haven't been any updates regarding his string of absences. Joey Bart will start at DH and bat cleanup Saturday.

Pages isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Saturday versus Pittsburgh.

Pages had his four-game hitting streak snapped with an 0-for-3 performance Friday, though he was able to draw a walk and score a run. Kevin Kiermaier will take his place in center field Saturday and bat eighth.

Bae is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Bae will be on the bench for a second consecutive game, giving way to Michael Taylor in center field again Saturday. Considering the Dodgers have started right-handed pitchers in both contests, the lefty-hitting Bae could be losing playing time.
