Reynolds (groin) will start in left field and bat third in Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Reynolds was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game due to left groin discomfort, though he ended up coming off the bench and delivering an RBI single in his lone plate appearance. Now cleared to return to the starting nine, Reynolds will look continue building his case for a third career All-Star selection.

The Dodgers hope to activate Stewart (foot) from the injured list Monday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Initially expected to miss around three weeks, Stewart has missed twice that much time due to a bone spur in his left foot. However, it seems the right-hander is now on the verge of his return after making four rehab appearances with Single-A Ontario. Stewart missed the start of the season with a shoulder injury and has made just two appearances out of the Dodgers' bullpen so far in 2026.

Cabrera joined the Diamondbacks' taxi squad Saturday and could be called up from Triple-A Reno to start Sunday's game against the Twins in Arizona, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks' pitching staff has been hit hard by injuries lately, losing Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) to the injured list in just the past two days. With multiple spots in the rotation for the team to fill, Cabrera's addition to the taxi squad suggests that he'll be the choice to start Sunday's game against the Twins. It would mark the 24-year-old's MLB debut, an opportunity he earned by posting a 3.69 ERA and 1.03 WHIP alongside a 64:16 K:BB in 61 innings across 12 starts (nine at Double-A Amarillo, three at Triple-A).

Beeter earned the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rays, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with two strikeouts in the ninth inning.

Beeter was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and allowed a run with no outs before bearing down to slam the door. It marked the 27-year-old's first save since May 31, and with Gus Varland having last appeared June 16, it appears the Nationals are still taking a committee approach to the closer role. On the year, Beeter owns a 3.63 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB across 22.1 innings while collecting five saves and three holds.

Scott (hip) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Scott reportedly didn't have any problems while throwing off a mound for the first time since landing on the injured list Monday with a right hip impingement. The Mets plan to have him throw a couple more mound sessions before activating him around the time he's eligible to return next Saturday.

Cavalli did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rays, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks with one strikeout over 2.2 innings.

Cavalli had his start pushed back from Friday due to an illness and struggled out of the gate Saturday, loading the bases in each of the first three innings and failing to escape the third in his shortest outing since April 13. The 27-year-old's velocity was slightly down on his three most-used offerings, so perhaps he was still feeling less than 100 percent. He owns a 4.07 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 82:28 K:BB across 77.1 innings this season and will try to rebound in a home matchup against the Phillies next week.

The Cubs acquired Murray from the Astros on Saturday in exchange for first baseman Cameron Sisneros, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Houston designated Murray for assignment Tuesday after he allowed 11 earned runs in just 13.1 frames in the majors. He owns a 1.17 ERA and 0.79 WHIP at the Triple-A level this season, however, so the Cubs will take a chance on him and add him to their 40-man roster. The 29-year-old still has minor-league options remaining and therefore doesn't have to join the 26-man active roster immediately, though he could report directly to Chicago to provide the big club with a fresh bullpen arm.

Young was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays with an apparent upper-body injury, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

Young injured himself while making a leaping catch against the outfield wall in the eighth inning and seemed to be grabbing near his ribs after falling to the ground. The Nationals will likely send him in for imaging and could have an update on his status after the game.

Moreno isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Moreno has gone 9-for-25 (.360) over his last six games, but the D-backs will keep him in the dugout to begin Saturday's contest. Adrian Del Castillo will instead start behind home plate.

Ohtani (paternity) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff Saturday against the Orioles, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

After missing Friday's game for the birth of his second child, Ohtani will rejoin the team Saturday and reclaim his spot as the Dodgers' leadoff man. He's tallied just two hits across his last five games but still boasts a .360/.484/.760 slash line in 62 plate appearances since the beginning of June.
