The Angels called Kerry up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Kerry had been slated to start for Salt Lake on Saturday but was scratched from that outing. That could mean that he'll work in bulk relief Saturday, as Jose Soriano was scratched from his scheduled start for the Angels, and the team is starting Brent Suter as an opener. Kerry has made one appearance -- his MLB debut -- for the Angels this season, allowing two runs on three hits with two strikeouts and one walk over four innings against Arizona on June 17. To make room for him on the 26-man roster, Ryan Johnson was optioned following his start Friday.

MRI results on Stewart's right shoulder revealed tendinitis Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers will shut Stewart down from throwing for three days before reevaluating him, at which point he may be cleared to start up a throwing program. The 34-year-old righty noted that he's been having problems with his shoulder for about a week, and although it didn't have much of an impact on his throwing, he and the team didn't want to risk it developing into something more severe once the postseason arrives.

The Red Sox sent Ingrassia to the Tigers on Saturday to complete the Jahmai Jones trade, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Ingrassia has spent the entire season with Boston's High-A affiliate, posting a 3.27 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 44 innings. He'll likely remain at High-A to begin his tenure with the Tigers, but the 24-year-old southpaw could reach Double-A Erie by the end of the year.

Tucker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Tucker will get a day off to reset after going just 5-for-28 (.179) at the plate while starting each of the Dodgers' last nine games. Enrique Hernandez, Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez will form the Dodgers' outfield trio while Tucker is on the bench.

Betts isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Betts has hits in six of his last seven games, but the Dodgers will move him to the bench for the start of Saturday's contest. While he sits, Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Garcia (knee) will start at first base and bat second Saturday against Atlanta.

Garcia was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to right knee soreness, but the injury won't cause him to miss any starts. The 26-year-old is enjoying a career season and hasn't slowed down in the second half, slashing .280/.294/.600 with three homers, eight RBI and three runs scored in 13 games since the break.

Rodriguez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Rodriguez has notched a hit in all four of his games since returning from the injured list Monday, but he'll retreat to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Henry Davis will instead handle catching duties and bat ninth.

The Pirates designated Stratton for assignment Saturday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Stratton will give up his place on Pittsburgh's 40-man roster to make room for Camilo Doval, who was acquired in a trade with the Yankees on Saturday. Stratton has given up two runs in 3.1 big-league innings this season but hasn't yet allowed a run through eight frames at Triple-A Indianapolis.

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

Burger has notched a base hit in four of his last five games but will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Joc Pederson will pick up a start at first base as a result, moving Brandon Nimmo into the DH spot and opening up right field for Alejandro Osuna.

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

Myers has gone 8-for-21 while compiling a six-game hitting streak, but the Reds will give him a chance to rest Saturday. JJ Bleday, TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte will start across the outfield while Myers is on the bench.
