The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday to start against the Guardians.

The 24-year-old righty will come up from the minors to fill the open rotation spot created by Sixto Sanchez's (shoulder) move to the injured list. Munoz has started three games for the Marlins already this year, posting a 5.17 ERA and 1.21 WHIP alongside a 19:7 K:BB through 15.2 innings. Until he is able to turn in consistent success in the majors, he is not a recommended fantasy option.

The Marlins placed Weathers on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left index finger strain.

Weathers' finger caused him to be pulled from his start Friday midway through the third inning. He'll now miss several starts as he heads to the IL, though the team has not yet offered any sort of return timeline for the 24-year-old lefty. Roddery Munoz was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and will start Saturday versus Cleveland, while Max Meyer is a candidate to fill the vacancy in the rotation on a more permanent basis.

Yastrzemski isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

Lefty Andrew Heaney will start on the hill for Texas, so the left-handed bat of Yastrzemski will stay put in the dugout to begin the game. While he rests, Michael Conforto, Heliot Ramos and Austin Slater will start across San Francisco's outfield.

Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.

With lefty Andrew Heaney set to toe the slab for the Rangers, the lefty-hitting Wisely will step out of the lineup. Tyler Fitzgerald will take over at shortstop, batting ninth.

Bailey isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

The switch-hitting Bailey holds only a .656 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, and he'll take a seat Saturday versus Andrew Heaney and the Rangers. Curt Casali will catch for Spencer Howard instead while batting eighth.

Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against Minnesota.

Suwinski has gone 3-for-13 with a homer and two RBI since returning to the majors Tuesday, and he'll now get a chance to rest versus Simeon Woods Richardson and the Twins. Michael Taylor will fill the void in center field and bat ninth.

Siani isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday versus the Rockies.

Siani will take a seat Saturday despite the Rockies sending out right-hander Ryan Feltner. Brendan Donovan, Dylan Carlson and Alec Burleson will start across the outfield for St. Louis.

Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday versus Detroit.

Bauers will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored during Milwaukee's win in Friday's series opener. Rhys Hoskins will start at first and Christian Yelich will serve as the DH, allowing Jackson Chourio to start in left field.

Amador joined the Rockies in St. Louis on Saturday, though the team has yet to formally call him up from Double-A Hartford, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Amador sports a .666 OPS through 208 plate appearances this season with Hartford, but he has slashed .326/.388/.767 with six homers and 14 RBI while also stealing six bases across his last 10 games. With the Rockies waiting to see if Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) will require a trip to the injured list, Amador will remain on the club's taxi squad for the time being. He would likely return to Double-A if Rodgers is able to make a quick recovery.

Muncy (oblique) has begun taking dry swings and doing plyo-ball workouts, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

This is a step forward for Muncy, as he had previously been unable to swing a bat at all after continuing to experience soreness in his oblique. However, manager Dave Roberts said last week that the third baseman is on a "slow program," so Muncy doesn't appear to be particularly close to a return. He hasn't played in a game since May 15 and will likely need to go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the big-league club.
