Burger isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

Burger will get a day to clear his head Saturday after going just 1-for-21 at the plate over his last five games. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth in Burger's place.

Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Southpaw Tommy Henry will start on the mound for Arizona, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat on the Phillies' bench to begin Saturday's contest. Cristian Pache will fill the open spot in center field and bat eighth.

Bogaerts (shoulder) resumed running the bases, taking light grounders and doing one-handed drills in the batting cage this past week, MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts broke his left shoulder while making a diving stop in the infield May 20 and remains on the 10-day IL. The veteran infielder isn't likely to return until July at the earliest, given that he has yet to take regular swings. When he does come back from the IL, Bogaerts indicated that he will adjust his swing to use a two-handed follow-through in order to protect his injured shoulder. He's undergoing regular imaging on the shoulder to determine when he'll be allowed to start ramping up further.

Dahl isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

With left-hander Tommy Henry set to toe the slab for Arizona, the left-handed bat of Dahl will step out of the lineup Saturday. Kyle Schwarber will fill in as Philly's left fielder, moving Alec Bohm into the DH spot while Edmundo Sosa starts at third base.

Stubbs isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game versus Arizona.

The lefty-hitting Stubbs will take a seat Saturday as the lefty-throwing Tommy Henry starts on the bump for the Diamondbacks. Rafael Marchan will instead start at catcher while batting ninth.

Joe isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Joe has gone 0-for-13 with four strikeouts in his last four games, and he'll now get a day to regroup Saturday. His absence will open up a spot in right field for Edward Olivares to start while batting seventh.

Grandal isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Grandal will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-1 and drawing two walks during Friday's loss in the series opener. Jason Delay will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

Gurriel (elbow) isn't in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Gurriel was removed from Friday's game due to a sore left elbow, and it is seemingly bothering him enough to keep him from playing Saturday, though the D-backs don't believe his injury to be anything too serious. Jake McCarthy will slide over to left field while Gurriel recovers, allowing Randal Grichuk to start in right field while batting sixth.

Manager Bob Melvin said Saturday that Cobb (hip/shoulder) has progressed to throwing live batting practice, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants skipper added that Cobb isn't far off from beginning a rehab assignment, though he didn't give an estimate as to when the right-hander might be ready to report to a minor-league affiliate. Once the 36-year-old begin his assignment, he'll certainly require a lengthy stay in the minors after spending the first three months of the season on the injured list following offseason hip surgery in addition to a bout with soreness in his pitching shoulder.

Garrett was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday due to left elbow discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Garrett reported having problems in his elbow following a bullpen session Friday, so the Marlins will play it safe and hold him out of Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old southpaw will undergo further testing, and the results will help determine if he needs to spend some time on the injured list. Miami has not yet named a replacement starter for Sunday.
