Kim went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the Dodgers in Friday's 8-7 extra-innings victory.

Kim hit one of four long balls for San Diego in the victory, taking Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep in the second inning. The long ball was his second of the campaign and sixth extra-base hit overall -- he also has two doubles and two triples. Kim has a modest .217/.284/.417 slash line through 67 plate appearances, but he has provided decent production with nine runs, eight RBI and four stolen bases.

Cronenworth went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-innings 8-7 win against the Dodgers on Friday.

Cronenworth's lone hit in the contest was a sixth-inning solo blast that brought San Diego within three runs. It was his third homer of the campaign, all of which have come over his past four contests. Cronenworth hit 21 long balls in 2021 but went deep just 10 times over 521 plate appearances last season.

Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Pirates.

The lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat as left-hander Marco Gonzales prepares to start on the mound for Pittsburgh. Cristian Pache will fill the void in left field and bat eighth while Marsh sits.

Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Southpaw Marco Gonzales will start for the Pirates on Saturday, meaning the left-handed bat of Stott will watch the beginning of the game from the dugout. Edmundo Sosa will enter the lineup to play second base while batting sixth.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Friday in an 8-7 extra-innings victory against the Dodgers.

Machado got the Padres off to a nice start with a two-run blast in the first inning. Though he didn't collect another hit in the contest, it was still a promising development for the third baseman since the homer snapped an 11-game stretch without a long ball. Machado is still batting just .238 on the campaign, but he's been heating up of late, slashing .320/.346/.480 during his current six-game hitting streak.

Realmuto isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Realmuto will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-7 with a run scored through the first two games of the series. Garrett Stubbs will take over behind the plate and bat seventh.

Reid-Foley (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn on Sunday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

A right shoulder impingement has kept Reid-Foley on the shelf since the beginning of the season, but he now seems ready to test his shoulder in a game setting. It's unclear how many rehab outings the Mets want him to make before returning him to the major-league bullpen, but the 28-year-old's assignment will likely move to a higher-level affiliate if Sunday's appearance goes well.

The Marlins designated Andriese for assignment Saturday.

Just nine days after being selected from Triple-A Jacksonville, Andriese will once again be without a 40-man roster spot. The 34-year-old right-hander allowed three earned runs across five innings over three appearances during his stint in the majors and will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed. Calvin Faucher was recalled from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

The Marlins recalled Faucher from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Faucher failed to make the Marlins' roster out of spring training, but he will now come up from the minors to provide Miami with some extra bullpen depth. The 28-year-old righty has given up three earned runs across 6.1 innings over four appearances in Triple-A and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations in the majors. Matt Andriese was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

The left-handed bat of Fraley will retreat to the bench Saturday as left-hander Garrett Crochet starts on the mound for Chicago. Stuart Fairchild will start in right field, and Jonathan India will serve as the Reds' DH, allowing Santiago Espinal to pick up a start at second base.
